Librarius Discipline
To generate psychic powers from the Librarius discipline, you can either roll a D3 to generate them randomly (re-roll any duplicate results), or you can select those you wish the psyker to have. Do so before each battle.| D3 | PSYCHIC POWER |
| 1 | VEIL OF TIME The psyker projects his will beyond the regular passage of time, taking in the strands of fate before returning to the present to sway the tide of battle. Veil of Time has a warp charge value of 5. If manifested, pick a friendly model within 18" of the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, you can re-roll charge rolls and Advance rolls for that model, and they can always be chosen to fight in the Hammer of Wrath section of the Fight phase, even if they did not make a charge move that battle round. |
| 2 | MIGHT OF HEROES The psyker cages the immense power of the immaterium within his target, and they become the Emperor’s vengeance made manifest. Might of Heroes has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, pick a friendly model within 12" of the psyker. Until the start of the next Psychic phase, add 1 to that model’s Strength, Toughness and Attacks characteristics. |
| 3 | NULL ZONE The psyker unleashes the full might of his mind to cast down his opponent’s defences, both technological and mystical, rendering them vulnerable to the retribution of the Adeptus Astartes. Null Zone has a warp charge value of 8. If manifested, then until the start of the next Psychic phase, while they are within 3" of the psyker, enemy models cannot take invulnerable saves and must halve the result of any Psychic tests (rounding up) that they take. |

Fortis Kill Team
When you add an Intercessor or a Reiver to your command roster (and create its datacard) you can choose for it to have the DEATHWATCH Faction keyword instead of the ADEPTUS ASTARTES Faction keyword. If you do so, that model gains the ADEPTUS ASTARTES keyword (note that this is not a Faction keyword), and it gains the Special Issue Ammunition ability, but you must use the Deathwatch points values for its ranged weapons.Aquila Kill Team
When you add a Captain in Terminator Armour, Chaplain in Terminator Armour, Librarian in Terminator Armour, Terminator or Veteran (which must be a Vanguard Veteran equipped with a jump pack) to your command roster (and create its datacard) you can choose for it to have the DEATHWATCH Faction keyword instead of the ADEPTUS ASTARTES Faction keyword. If you do so, it gains the Special Issue Ammunition ability but you must use the Deathwatch points values for its ranged weapons.Long Range
A target is at long range if it is more than half the weapon’s Range characteristic away from the attacking model. Grenade weapons are not affected by this rule.For example, a boltgun has a Range of 24". Any target that is more than 12" away from a model attacking with a boltgun is at long range.
Obscured
Other models (even friendly models) and terrain may hide a target from view. If the target of an attack is even partially obscured from the best point of view of the firing model (that is, the point of view from a part of the firing model that gives the clearest line of sight), then it is said to be obscured.When checking to see if a target is obscured, consider the main body of the firing and target models – do not include a model’s base or parts that are ‘sticking out’ like aerials or weapons, but do include all limbs and a model’s head. If there is still doubt, we recommend the players agree about what constitutes the main body of a model before the battle begins.
Flesh Wound
A model that suffers a flesh wound is restored to 1 wound remaining. A model with one or more flesh wounds suffers penalties to hit and is more likely to be taken out of action (see above). Mark one of the empty Flesh Wound boxes on that model’s datacard. If a model suffers a flesh wound and all of the Flesh Wound boxes on their datacard are marked, it is taken out of action instead. In the Morale phase each player takes Nerve tests for each of their models that has one or more flesh wounds.
Hit Roll
To see if an attack hits the target, roll a D6 and apply the following cumulative modifiers:
| ||||||||||
If the result is equal to or greater than the attacking model’s Ballistic Skill characteristic, then it scores a hit with the weapon it is using. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. An unmodified hit roll of 1 always fails, and an unmodified hit roll of 6 always hits.
PISTOL
Pistols are carried one-handed and can even be used in a melee to shoot at point-blank range.You can choose to shoot with a model with a Pistol weapon even if there are enemy models within 1", but it must target the closest enemy model (you can choose which if two or more are equidistant) and can only shoot with its Pistol weapon(s). In such circumstances, the model can shoot its Pistol even if other friendly models are within 1" of the same enemy model. It cannot fire a Pistol if it was charged in this battle round.
Each time a model armed with both a Pistol and another type of ranged weapon (e.g. a Pistol and a Rapid Fire weapon) is chosen to shoot, it can either shoot with its Pistol(s) or with all of its other weapons. Choose which it will fire (Pistols or non-Pistols) before making hit rolls.
Special Issue Ammunition
When this model fires one of the following weapons:- absolvor bolt pistol
- auto bolt rifle
- guardian spear
- master-crafted auto bolt rifle
- master-crafted stalker bolt rifle
- bolt carbine
- bolt pistol
- bolt rifle
- boltgun
- combi-flamer (boltgun profile only)
- combi-melta (boltgun profile only)
- combi-plasma (boltgun profile only)
- heavy bolt pistol
- stalker bolt rifle
- stalker pattern boltgun
- storm bolter
you can choose one kind of ammunition from the table below, and apply the corresponding modifier.
| ||||||||||||
The DEATHWATCH keyword is used in following Deathwatch datasheets:
Mission Tactics
At the beginning of the first battle round, choose a datasheet to be your kill team’s priority target (e.g. Tyranid Warrior). You can re-roll wound rolls of 1 for attacks made by models in your kill team that target a model from the datasheet that is your kill team’s priority target (so if you chose Tyranid Warrior, this ability would apply to attacks that targeted Tyranid Warriors and Tyranid Warrior Gunners).Wound Roll
If an attack scores a hit, you will then need to roll another dice to see if the attack wounds the target. The roll required is determined by comparing the attacking weapon’s Strength characteristic with the target’s Toughness characteristic, as shown on the following table:
| ||||||||||||||
If the roll is equal to or greater than the required number, the attack succeeds and the attack sequence continues. If the roll is less than the required number, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. An unmodified wound roll of 1 always fails and an unmodified wound roll of 6 is always successful.
Mortal Wounds
Some attacks inflict mortal wounds – these are so powerful that no armour or force field can withstand their fury. Each mortal wound inflicts one point of damage on the target model. Do not make a wound roll or saving throw (including invulnerable saves) against a mortal wound – just inflict damage to the model. If a mortal wound reduces a model to 0 wounds, any further mortal wounds directed against this model by this attack are not resolved and the player whose model caused the mortal wound makes an Injury roll for that model.
Out of Action
A model that is taken out of action is seriously injured or may even be slain – either way it will play no further part in the battle. Remove that model from the battlefield.
The TERMINATOR keyword is used in following Deathwatch datasheets:
Datasheet
Setting Up In Reserve
During deployment, instead of setting up a model on the battlefield as described by the mission, you can set that model up in Reserve. You can do this with up to half of the models in your kill team, but if you are using a Battle-forged kill team, the total points cost of any models you set up in Reserve can be no greater than half of your kill team’s Force.
The PRIMARIS and CAPTAIN keywords are used in following Deathwatch datasheets:
Commander
Nerve Tests
You must take a Nerve test for each of your models that has a flesh wound, and for your other models if your kill team is broken. To take a Nerve test for a model, roll a D6 and apply the following cumulative modifiers:
| ||||||
If the result of the Nerve test exceeds the model’s Leadership characteristic, the test is failed. The model is shaken, and cannot do anything until it is no longer shaken: place a Shaken token next to it. Otherwise, the test is passed. The test is always passed on an unmodified roll of 1.
The PRIMARIS and CHAPLAIN keywords are used in following Deathwatch datasheets:

Psychic Test
You can attempt to manifest a psychic power with a psyker from your kill team by taking a Psychic test. To do so, roll 2D6. If the total is equal to or greater than that power’s warp charge value, the power is successfully manifested.
Charge Move
After all Reactions have been resolved, make a charge roll by rolling 2D6. The charging model can move up to this number of inches – this is their charge distance this turn. To make a successful charge roll, the model must finish its move within 1" of at least one of the target models. A model that does so is said to have charged, and the enemy models that are within 1" of it at the end of its move are said to have been charged. It cannot move within 1" of an enemy model that was not a target of its charge.If the model cannot finish its move while following these restrictions, the charge fails and the model is not said to have charged – however, the model can move up to its charge distance, as long as that move takes it as close as possible to at least one of the targets of its charge, and not within 1" of any enemy models. A model can only make one charge attempt in each Movement phase, and once it has done so it cannot shoot later in the battle round. If you have Kill Team tokens, place a Charge token next to the model as a reminder.
Advancing
When you pick a model to move, instead of making a normal move with that model you can declare that it will Advance, unless it is within 1" of an enemy model. If you do so, make an Advance roll by rolling a D6. Add the result to the model’s Move characteristic for that Movement phase. You can then move that model a distance equal to or less than its Move characteristic. A model that Advances cannot charge, React or shoot later that battle round. If you have Kill Team tokens, place an Advance token next to the model as a reminder.
Hammer of Wrath
Models that charged in this battle round fight before all other models. Players take it in turn to choose a model that charged from their kill team to fight with (see below), or pass, in the order determined in the Initiative phase. If a player passes, it is the next player’s turn to choose. A player cannot choose to pass if they have a model that charged that can fight. Once all players have chosen a model from their kill team or passed, they do so again in the same order, until all players pass in succession. When they do so, the Hammer of Wrath section of the Fight phase is over.
Invulnerable Saves
Some models possess abilities or wargear, such as supernatural reflexes or force fields, that grant them an invulnerable save. Each time you are required to make a save roll for a model with an invulnerable save, you can choose to use either its normal Save characteristic or its invulnerable save, but not both. If you use a model’s invulnerable save, it is never modified (e.g. by a weapon’s Armour Penetration characteristic or by the Survivor ability) unless the modifier explicitly applies to invulnerable saves. If a model has more than one invulnerable save, it can only use one of them – choose which it will use.
Does not include wargear
RAPID FIRE
Rapid Fire weapons are capable of single aimed shots at long range and controlled bursts at close quarters.
A model firing a Rapid Fire weapon doubles the number of attacks it makes if all of its targets are within half the weapon’s Range characteristic.HEAVY
Heavy weapons are the biggest and deadliest guns on the battlefield, but require reloading, careful set-up or bracing to fire at full effect.
If a model with a Heavy weapon moved in the preceding Movement phase, you must subtract 1 from any hit rolls made when firing that weapon this battle round.Combi-melta used in following datasheets:
ASSAULT
Assault weapons fire so rapidly or indiscriminately that they can be shot from the hip as warriors dash forwards into combat.
You can choose to shoot with a model with an Assault weapon in the Shooting phase (or React with that model to fire Overwatch) even if it Advanced earlier in that battle round. If it does so, it can only fire Assault weapons, and you must subtract 1 from any hit rolls made when firing that weapon this battle round.Combi-plasma used in following datasheets:

GRENADE
Grenades are handheld explosive devices that a warrior throws at the enemy while their squad mates provide covering fire.
A model in your kill team armed with a Grenade weapon may fire it in Overwatch or in the Shooting phase. If they do so, they cannot fire any other weapons that phase, and no other model in your kill team can fire a Grenade weapon that phase.Krak grenade used in following datasheets:
Melee
Each time a model makes a close combat attack, it uses a melee weapon – the weapons a model is armed with are listed on its datasheet. In addition to the melee weapons listed on their datasheets, all models are also assumed to be able to fight with a close combat weapon, which has the following profile:
|
If a model has more than one melee weapon, choose which it will use before rolling the dice. If a model has more than one melee weapon and can make several close combat attacks, it can split its attacks between these weapons however you wish – declare how you will divide the attacks before any dice are rolled.

Overwatch
Overwatch is a special type of shooting attack, made by a model that is the target of a charge and resolved in the Movement phase. It uses all the normal rules for shooting (e.g. the target must be in range and visible when they declare the charge), except that any attacks made must target the model attempting to charge, and a 6 is always required for a successful hit roll, irrespective of the firing model’s Ballistic Skill or any modifiers.
Readying
When you pick a model to move, instead of making a normal move (including pivoting the model) you can Ready them, unless they are within 1" of an enemy model. A model that is Readied in the Movement phase has an advantage in the subsequent Shooting phase (see Ready, Fire!). If you have Kill Team tokens, place a Ready token next to the model as a reminder. If the model moves for any reason, it is no longer Readied – remove this token.

Deny the Witch Test
If there are any enemy psykers within 24" of a psyker that has manifested a psychic power, the controlling player can choose one of those models to take a Deny the Witch test to resist the psychic power. The number of times a psyker can make a Deny the Witch attempt in each battle round is specified on their datasheet. Only one model can take a Deny the Witch test for each psychic power that is manifested, regardless of the number of models that could make an attempt or the number of times each is allowed to try and Deny the Witch in each battle round.If more than one player has an eligible model to take a Deny the Witch test, players take it in turn to choose a model from their kill team to take a Deny the Witch test with, or pass, in the order determined in the Initiative phase. If a player passes, it is the next player’s turn to choose, and so on until a player chooses a model to take a Deny the Witch test or all players with eligible models have passed.
To take a Deny the Witch test, roll 2D6. If the total is greater than the result of the Psychic test that manifested the power, it has been successfully resisted and its effects are negated.
Psybolt
Psybolt has a warp charge value of 5. If manifested, the closest enemy model within 18" of and visible to the psyker suffers 1 mortal wound. If the result of the Psychic test was 11+, the target suffers D3 mortal wounds instead.
