Forces of the Omnissiah – Archmagos Anacharis Scoria
HQ The history of Anacharis Scoria has been lost, but there exists fragmentary evidence that places him as a magos dominus in the service of Xana some thirty years before the outbreak of the Horus Heresy. It is believed he was gifted the rank of the Vodian Magister – the chief enforcer of cult doctrine on his secretive world, but some time after that he was cast down until the time of the Loyalist covert operation known as the Xana Incursion. In the aftermath of that disaster, Xana’s ruling Synod was destroyed in a bloody coup from which Scoria emerged far more powerful than before. | ||

Rites of the BeastAnacharis Scoria’s mastery of Cybertheurgy went well beyond what was permissible to the doctrine of the Martian Omnissian Cult, or indeed the pronouncements of the Imperium, and enabled him through unknown means to imbue a preternatural animalism into the Cybernetica under him in combat, driving them into a maddened frenzy like tortured beasts when he willed it so. Anacharis Scoria has the Artificia Machina, Artificia Cybernetica, and Ephemera Incursus Cybertheurgic Arcana, and has all Rites and weapons that are part of those Arcana.Warlord: Forbidden ProtocolsIf Anacharis Scoria is taken in an army, he must be the army’s Warlord. Scoria automatically has the Forbidden Protocols Warlord Trait and may not select any other Warlord Trait.Forbidden Protocols – Any friendly units made up entirely of models with the Automata Unit Type that have at least one model within 6" of this Warlord may make Reactions, ignoring the usual restriction in the Automata Unit Type. In addition, an army whose Warlord has this Trait may make an additional Reaction in the Movement phase as long as Anacharis Scoria has not been removed as a casualty. The Vodian SceptreA unique archaeotech weapon, this singular device also serves as the seal of office of the Magisterium of the Vodian Consistory, the chief enforcer of the ruling magos of the Forge World of Xana II. Made from materials found to be all but indestructible, the staff may be used to parry blows from the most powerful of weapons as well as strike with appallingly destructive power thanks to unknown technologies concealed within it which seemingly create entropic fields that cause matter to break apart in seconds as if tens of millennia had passed.

This datasheet has HQ Battlefield Role. Full list of Forces of the Omnissiah units sharing same Battlefield Role follows:
Some weapons and warriors strike in a flurry of blows, tearing flesh asunder in a series of brutal strikes.
If a model has the Shred special rule, or is attacking with a Melee weapon that has the Shred rule, it re-rolls failed To Wound rolls in close combat.Similarly, if a model makes a Shooting Attack with a weapon that has the Shred rule, it re-rolls its failed To Wound rolls.
Some weapons can inflict critical strikes against which no armour can protect.
If a model has the Rending special rule, or is attacking with a Melee weapon that has the Rending special rule, there is a chance that their close combat attacks will strike a critical blow. For each To Wound roll equal to or higher than the value listed, the target automatically suffers a Wound, regardless of its Toughness. The controlling player may choose to resolve these Wounds at AP 2 instead of the weapon’s normal AP value.Similarly, if a model makes a Shooting Attack with a weapon that has the Rending special rule, a To Wound roll of equal to or greater than the listed value wounds automatically, regardless of Toughness, and is resolved at AP 2.
In either case, against Vehicles each Armour Penetration roll of equal to or greater than the listed value allows a further D3 to be rolled, with the result added to the total Strength of the attack. These Hits are not resolved at AP 2, but are instead resolved using the weapon’s AP value.
For example, a model with the Rending (5+) special rule that rolls To Wound against a non-Vehicle model will wound automatically on the roll of a 5+, and the attacking player has the choice of using an AP value of 2 instead of the AP value of their weapon.
This weapon is particularly heavy and requires both hands to wield.
A model attacking with this weapon never receives +1 Attack for fighting with two Melee weapons.This weapon is very large, and more than a little clumsy, making swift blows all but impossible to achieve.
A model attacking with this weapon Piles-in and fights at Initiative step 1, unless it has the Dreadnought Unit Type or Monstrous sub-type.The ancient volkite weaponry employed by the armies of Terra in the earliest years of the Great Crusade fired arcing blasts of energy rather than solid projectiles.
After normal attacks by this weapon have been resolved, count the number of unsaved Wounds caused on the target unit. Immediately resolve a number of additional automatic Hits on the same unit using the weapon’s profile equal to the number of unsaved Wounds – these can then be saved normally. Models in the targeted unit must still be in range in order for these additional Hits to take effect. These additional Hits do not themselves inflict more Hits and do not benefit from any other special rules possessed by the attacking model, such as Preferred Enemy (X) or Precision Strikes (X).Some blows can slay an enemy outright, no matter how hardy they may be.
If a model suffers an unsaved Wound from an attack with this special rule, it is reduced to 0 Wounds and is removed as a casualty.This weapon has been crafted with one aim in mind – to pierce the hides of armoured vehicles.
If a model or weapon has this special rule, it rolls an additional D6 for armour penetration when targeting a Vehicle model, or, when targeting a model with the Automata or Dreadnought Unit Type, re-rolls all failed rolls To Wound instead. These effects apply to both Shooting Attacks and close combat attacks.Some instances of the Armourbane special rule may include a qualifier after the rule in brackets, for example Armourbane (Melta) or Armourbane (Melee). These variant rules are described below:
Armourbane (Melta): A model or weapon with this Armourbane special rule only gains the benefits of the Armourbane special rule when at half range or less. If the attack is more than half its Maximum Range away, it gains no benefit from the Armourbane special rule. If a weapon with this version of Armourbane also has the Blast special rule, measure the distance to the centre of the Blast marker after it has scattered. If this is half the weapon’s range or less, then all Hits are counted as having the Armourbane special rule, otherwise the Hits are resolved as if they did not have the Armourbane special rule.
Armourbane (Melee): A weapon or model with this version of the Armourbane special rule only gains the benefits of the Armourbane special rule when attacking in close combat.
Armourbane (Ranged): A weapon or model with this version of the Armourbane special rule only gains the benefits of the Armourbane special rule when making Shooting Attacks.
Pistols are light enough to be carried and fired one-handed.
A model attacking with a Pistol weapon makes the number of Attacks indicated on its profile regardless of whether the bearer has moved or not. A model carrying a Pistol weapon can make a Shooting Attack with it in the Shooting phase and still Charge in the Assault phase. A Pistol weapon also counts as a close combat weapon in the Assault phase. In addition, all models with two Pistol type weapons can attack with both in the same Shooting phase. This follows the normal rules for shooting.

Utilised by Techmarines and the Adepts of the Mechanicum, cyber-familiar is a term that encompasses a variety of semiautonomous devices such as servo-skulls, mek-spiders and other smaller drone units and lesser haemonculites tied into the direct neural control of their operator. These miniondrones are an extension of their master’s will and provide them with a host of additional senses and capabilities.
A model with a cyber-familiar adds +1 to its Invulnerable Save (to a maximum of 3+) or an Invulnerable Save of 6+ if they do not already possess one. In addition, they allow them to re-roll failed Characteristic tests other than Leadership tests, Psychic checks or failed Dangerous Terrain tests.This term covers a variety of energy field and defensive shield projectors devised by Mechanicum magi to protect themselves both on the battlefield and from assassination by their rivals. They encompass the wearer in an energy field or force barrier which serves to refract or deflect impacts and energy discharges, although the need for the wearer to move and fight, as well as their power consumption prevents them from being anywhere near inviolable to attack. Devices of this nature are relatively rare and are the province of senior figures, where they are often incorporated into armour or amulets and gifted as a mark of favour and rank.
A model with a refractor field gains a 5+ Invulnerable Save, and a model with a Mechanicum Protectiva gains a 4+ Invulnerable Save.Invulnerable Saves granted by a refractor field or Mechanicum Protectiva do not stack with other Invulnerable Saves, but can benefit from rules (like cyber-familiar) that specifically increase existing Saves. If a model has another Invulnerable Save then the controlling player must choose which one to use.
This control and signalling device uses data-djinn to command Battle-automata fitted with Cybernetica cortex systems, allowing the wielder to witness the battlefield through the automata’s own senses as well as monitor their status and exact precise control over their actions. Only the most highly experienced and specifically augmented adepts of the Mechanicum and the Forge Lords of the Legiones Astartes can hope to fathom the use of these fractious devices and successfully interpret the storm of data streaming from their un-living minions.
Any unit that includes one or more models with the Cybernetica Unit Sub-type may ignore the Programmed Behaviour provision described as part of that Sub-type while within 12" of a friendly model with a cortex controller.Those versed in the secret arts and teachings of the Mechanicum, whether Techmarine, Forge Lord or Magos, have the skill and ability to reconstruct and effect field repairs to war machinery in the very heat of battle.
If a model with the Battlesmith (X) special rule is in base contact with, or Embarked upon, one or more damaged Vehicles, Dreadnoughts or Automata during the Shooting phase, they can attempt to repair one of them. If they do so, the model that attempted the repair cannot shoot any weapons or use any other abilities that would be used instead of making a Shooting Attack. Roll a D6. If the result is equal to or more than the value listed in brackets as part of this rule then one of the following options may be applied to any one Vehicle, Dreadnought or Automata the model is in base contact with or Embarked upon:- Restore a lost Hull Point.
- Restore a lost Wound.
- Repair a Weapon Destroyed result.
- Repair an Immobilised result.
The archmagi of the Mechanicum jealously guarded their rights of rulership over their feudal subjects. While alliances and cooperation in service to a common overlord were frequent occurrences, no archmagos would tolerate sharing power with their peers.
A single Detachment may not include both an Archmagos Prime and an Archmagos Prime on Abeyant.Designers Note: For the purposes of the Feudal Hierarchy special rule:
| ||
Mighty heroes go where they are needed, being at the forefront of the most vital charges and leading their troops to victory.
Independent Characters can join other units. They cannot, however, join units that contain Vehicles, Dreadnoughts, Automata or any model with the Monstrous sub-type (unless the Independent Character also has that Unit Type or sub-type). They can join other Independent Characters though to form a powerful multi-character unit.

To Hit rolls are easy to remember if you subtract the Ballistic Skill of the attacking model from 7. For example, a model with BS 2 needs to roll a 5 or more (7-2=5).
Note that the minimum roll needed To Hit is always at least 2. When rolling To Hit, there is no such thing as an automatic Hit and a roll of a 1 always misses.
Some weapons are fuelled by unstable power sources and risk overheating with each shot – often to the detriment of their wielder.
When firing a weapon that Gets Hot, roll To Hit as normal. For each unmodified To Hit roll of 1, the firing model immediately suffers a single Wound with an AP value equal to that of the weapon that was used to attack (Armour Saves, Invulnerable Saves and Feel No Pain rolls can be taken, but not Cover Saves or Shrouded rolls) – this Wound cannot be allocated to any other model in the unit. A Vehicle instead rolls a D6 for each roll of a 1 To Hit. If this roll results in a 1 or 2, the Vehicle suffers a Glancing Hit.Assault weapons either fire so rapidly or indiscriminately that they can be fired while a warrior is moving.
A model attacking with an Assault weapon makes the number of Attacks indicated on its profile regardless of whether the bearer has moved or not. A model carrying an Assault weapon can make a Shooting Attack with it in the Shooting phase and still Charge in the Assault phase.
|
Cybertheurgists use all manner of feral code-constructs and sophisticated lex-simulacra collectively known as data-djinn to corrupt and sabotage the machine spirits of enemy constructs.
When allocated to a model that does not have the Automata, Vehicle or Dreadnought Unit Types or is not a Building or Fortification, any Hits from a weapon with this special rule automatically fail to Wound without any dice being rolled and regardless of the weapon’s Strength or the target’s Toughness.Cybernetica Exortus (Cybertheurgic Rite) The master magi of the Cybernetica cohorts are well versed in the intricacies of their steel charges; they know the incantations to coax the greatest potential from them. In battle it is by their efforts that the unfeeling legions of the Mechanicum can overcome the fickle and unpredictable armies of flesh and blood soldiers. Instead of making a Shooting Attack, a Cybertheurgist with this Cybertheurgic Rite may select a single friendly unit with a model within 12" which contains at least one model with the Automata Unit Type and apply one of the following effects to all models with the Automata Unit Type in the unit:
|
Mordeo Cogita (Cybertheurgic Weapon) Many have thought the automata of the Mechanicum among the toughest warriors to tread the battlefields of the Age of Darkness, but by means of coded incantations the adepts of the Arcana Cybernetica can purge the engrams of these metal beasts, bringing them to a sudden stop with but a thought. Cybertheurgic Focus: Before making any To Hit rolls with this weapon, the Cybertheurgist must make a Cybertheurgy check. If the Check is passed then the Cybertheurgist may attack as normal using the profile shown for this weapon. If the Check is failed then the Cybertheurgist suffers Cybertheurgic Feedback, and if the model is not removed as a casualty then it may attack as normal but may not use this weapon.
|
If the Vehicle moved before its passengers got aboard, it cannot move further that turn (including pivoting on the spot). If the Vehicle did not move before its passengers got aboard, it can move as normal after they have Embarked. In either case, a Vehicle cannot Ram in a turn that a unit Embarks upon it.
Glancing Hits – If a Glancing Hit was scored, the Vehicle loses 1 Hull Point.
Penetrating Hits – If a Penetrating Hit was scored, the Vehicle not only loses 1 Hull Point, but also suffers additional damage.
After deducting any Hull Points, roll a D6 for each Penetrating Hit and look up the result using the Vehicle Damage table, applying any appropriate modifiers. All modifiers on the Vehicle Damage table are cumulative. If you inflict a Penetrating Hit, you must roll on the Vehicle Damage table even if the Vehicle loses sufficient Hull Points to be Wrecked, as there is still a chance it might suffer an Explodes result on the Vehicle Damage table.
Invulnerable Saves are different to Armour Saves in that they may always be taken whenever the model suffers a Wound, or, in the case of Vehicles, suffers a Penetrating Hit or Glancing Hit – the Armour Piercing value of attacking weapons has no effect on an Invulnerable Save. Even if a Wound, Penetrating Hit or Glancing Hit ignores all Armour Saves, an Invulnerable Saving Throw can still be taken.
Haywire weapons send out powerful electromagnetic pulses.
For each Hit inflicted on a unit that contains at least one model with the Vehicle, Dreadnought or Automata Unit Type, roll a D6 to determine the effect rather than rolling To Wound or for armour penetration normally. AP has no effect on this roll:
|
Animatus Integro (Cybertheurgic Rite) Manipulating the machine spirit of any complex machine, the cybertheurgist is capable of remote activation of repair sub-routines and of repurposing auxiliary systems to perform repairs other lesser artificers might have deemed impossible. Such is the formidable skill of these machine-wrights that such ministrations are carried out from afar, without laying hand nor tool upon the shattered hull of the stricken machine. Instead of making a Shooting Attack, a Cybertheurgist with this Cybertheurgic Rite may apply the effects of any version of the Battlesmith (X) special rule they have to a single model with the Vehicle, Dreadnought or Automata Unit Type that is within 12" of the Cybertheurgist. The effect is rolled for as normally required by the Battlesmith (X) special rule, but does not require the Cybertheurgist to be in base contact or Embarked upon the model. If successful, the controlling player may choose to make a Cybertheurgy check for the Cybertheurgist model, if successful then the effect of the Battlesmith (X) special rule is applied twice without further rolls (i.e., an additional Wound is restored, or an additional Weapon Destroyed result removed from the target, etc.). If the Cybertheurgy check is failed then the Cybertheurgist suffers Cybertheurgic Feedback. |
Animatus Excindor (Cybertheurgic Weapon) Just as Cybermancy can over-charge a machine’s systems to power its re-invigoration, so can it overload those systems and crush the heart of even the most powerful war machines. Cybertheurgic Focus: Before making any To Hit rolls with this weapon, the Cybertheurgist must make a Cybertheurgy check. If the Check is passed then the Cybertheurgist may attack as normal using the profile shown for this weapon. If the Check is failed then the Cybertheurgist suffers Cybertheurgic Feedback, and if the model is not removed as a casualty then it may attack as normal but may not use this weapon.

The Ballistic Skill of a model making a Snap Shot can only be modified by special rules that specifically state that they affect Snap Shots, along with any other restrictions. If a special rule doesn’t specifically state that it affects Snap Shots, then the Snap Shot is resolved at Ballistic Skill 1.
Some weapon types, such as Ordnance, or those that have certain special rules, such as Blast, cannot be used to make Snap Shots. In addition, any Shooting Attack that does not use Ballistic Skill cannot be made as a Snap Shot. These exceptions aside, Snap Shots are treated in the same manner as any other Shooting Attack made with a Ballistic Skill of 1.
In the far future, hatred is a powerful ally.
This rule is presented as Hatred (X) where X identifies a specific type of foe. If the special rule does not specify a type of foe, then the unit has Hatred against everyone. This can refer to a Faction or a specific unit.For example, Hatred (Mechanicum) means any model of the Mechanicum Faction, whilst Hatred (Thallax) means only Thallax. A model striking a Hated foe in close combat re-rolls all failed To Hit rolls during the first round of each close combat.
The effects of this special rule only apply when a unit that has it begins an Assault phase not locked in combat and then either Charges or is Charged by an enemy unit. If an enemy unit Charges this unit when it is already locked in combat then that does count as a new ‘first’ turn of combat for the effects of Hatred.
This attack looses a brilliant flare of light, searing the sight of the victim and forcing them to fight blind for a few moments.
Any unit hit by one or more models or weapons with this special rule must take an Initiative test at the end of the current Phase. If the Test is passed, there is no further effect. If the Initiative test is failed, all models in the unit are reduced to Weapon Skill 1 and Ballistic Skill 1 until the end of their next turn. Should the attacking unit hit themselves, they automatically pass the Test. Any model that does not have an Initiative Characteristic (for example, Vehicles, Buildings, etc) is unaffected by this special rule.Shorting out the vox comms of enemy targets, this weapon isolates its victims from their allies and the direction of their commanders.
Any models with the Infantry or Cavalry Unit Types in a unit that suffers one or more Hits from a weapon with this special rule must reduce their Leadership by -2 until the start of their controlling player’s next turn. This modifier is not cumulative, and any given unit can only be affected by a single instance of the Vox Silence special rule at a time. Nor is it cumulative with other special rules that negatively modify Leadership. Always use the highest single modifier among those applicable. In addition, units affected by this special rule do not gain the benefits of nuncio vox, command vox or other similar Wargear items until the start of their controlling player’s next turn. Units that include one or more models with the Stubborn special rule ignore this effect.Ephemera Perfidiae (Cybertheurgic Rite) The sheer ubiquity of the Machine Cult’s works in every fighting force on both sides of the civil war give the more insidious tech-magi an incredible amount of power over their enemies. With little more than a thought and a muttered binaric chant, a canny technomancer can alter their opponent’s target priority and friendly fire protocols, deceiving them into bearing down on their allies. Instead of making a Shooting Attack, a Cybertheurgist with this Cybertheurgic Rite may select a single enemy unit with a model within 12" that is entirely composed of models with the Vehicle or Automata Unit Type. The Cybertheurgist’s controlling player may immediately make a Shooting Attack as if they controlled the chosen unit – this Shooting Attack may target any unit that is considered an enemy unit by the Cybertheurgist’s controlling player and is made as Snap Shots. The Cybertheurgist may choose to make a Cybertheurgy check before making this Shooting Attack, if successful the Shooting Attack is made using the Cybertheurgist’s BS and is not made as Snap Shots. If the Check is failed then the Cybertheurgist suffers Cybertheurgic Feedback and no Shooting Attack is made. An enemy unit used to make a Shooting Attack with this Rite may attack normally in its controlling player’s turn and gains the Hatred (Cybertheurgists) special rule for the rest of the battle. |
Ephemera Exocluo (Cybertheurgic Weapon) There are few warriors on the battlefields of the Age of Darkness that do not rely on some form of technological aid to function, from targeting scanners to vox communicators. A magos skilled in the ephemera exocluo can disrupt, destroy and subvert these devices and leave their users helpless. Cybertheurgic Focus: Before making any To Hit rolls with this weapon, the Cybertheurgist must make a Cybertheurgy check. If the Check is passed then the Cybertheurgist may attack as normal using the profile shown for this weapon. If the Check is failed then the Cybertheurgist suffers Cybertheurgic Feedback, and if the model is not removed as a casualty then it may attack as normal but may not use this weapon.

Some weapons are lovingly maintained artefacts, crafted with skills now lost. Though the exact form of master-crafting varies, it is always considered to be the pinnacle of the weaponsmith’s art.
Weapons with the Master-crafted special rule allow the bearer to re-roll one failed roll To Hit per turn with that weapon.Some weapons are so cruel of form or powerful in aspect that a well-placed strike can slay even the toughest opponent.
Attacks with this special rule cause Instant Death on a To Wound roll equal to or greater than the number listed in brackets associated with the specific rule. Roll any viable Saves against this Instant Death-causing Wound separately and before any other Wounds the attack inflicts.The terror of tank commanders, a lance weapon fires a concentrated beam of energy that can bore through any armour, regardless of thickness.
Weapons with the Lance special rule count Vehicle Armour Values that are higher than 12 as 12.The pride of some warriors is so great that they refuse to be carted around the battlefield within the confines of a transport vehicle. Preferring instead to be visible to their subjects and their enemies alike.
A model with this special rule may not embark upon any model with the Transport Unit Sub-type, regardless of its Unit Type or any special rules the model with the Transport Sub-type may have.Some warriors are skilled at moving over broken and tangled terrain.
A unit that contains only models with this special rule suffers no penalty for moving or charging through Difficult Terrain.Many of the most senior magi among the Mechanicum are capable of interpreting the binaric chatter of base automata, commanding them as lesser mortals command their warriors of flesh and blood with a simple word or gesture. Such magi are often found in the company of these iron killers, directing their programmed imperatives and sheltering behind their armoured bulk.
An Independent Character with this special rule may join a unit composed of models with the Automata Unit Type or Monstrous Unit Sub-type. However they cannot join a unit which contains models of any other Unit Type if the model with this rule also has the Automata or Dreadnought Unit Type, or the Monstrous Unit Sub-type.Each blast from this weapon that pierces its target’s armour sets off a chain reaction of secondary explosions.
If this weapon successfully scores a Penetrating Hit on a target, roll a D6. If the result of that roll is equal to or higher than the value in brackets after the rule, a second automatic Penetrating Hit is inflicted on the same target against which Cover Saves may not be taken. For example, a weapon with the Exoshock (4+) special rule would inflict a second Penetrating Hit on the score of a 4+. This second Penetrating Hit does not gain the effects of any other special rules, and cannot trigger additional Hits.If, for any reason, a given instance of this rule does not have a value in brackets after the special rule, assume the value is 6+.
In the dark corners of the galaxy, there are creatures that heal at a terrifying speed.
At the end of each of your turns, roll a D6 for each of your models with this special rule that has less than its starting number of Wounds or Hull Points, but that has not been removed as a casualty or destroyed. On a roll equal to or greater than the number in brackets associated with the special rule, that model regains a Wound, or Hull Point, lost earlier in the game. For example, a model with It Will Not Die (5+) would regain a lost Wound on the roll of a 5 or more.In the name of the Warmaster Horus, a vast host took up arms against those they had once called brothers – some driven by a lust for power and others by a misguided desire for justice. Regardless of the cause they held dear, there could be no turning back for these warriors, only victory or damnation.
A model with this special rule may only be included in an army that has the Traitor Allegiance.The Vodian Sceptre
A unique archaeotech weapon, this singular device also serves as the seal of office of the Magisterium of the Vodian Consistory, the chief enforcer of the ruling magos of the Forge World of Xana II. Made from materials found to be all but indestructible, the staff may be used to parry blows from the most powerful of weapons as well as strike with appallingly destructive power thanks to unknown technologies concealed within it which seemingly create entropic fields that cause matter to break apart in seconds as if tens of millennia had passed.

| The Vodian Sceptre | - | +2 | 2 | Melee, Two-handed, Armourbane (Melee), Exoshock (4+), Murderous Strike (5+) |
Some heroes refuse to be laid low, even by what would be mortal wounds to lesser warriors.
If a model with this special rule suffers an unsaved Wound from an attack that inflicts Instant Death, it only reduces its Wounds by 1, instead of automatically reducing its Wounds to 0.Some beings are so monstrous or alien that they can force their foes to recoil in horror.
All enemy models within 12" of a model with this special rule must reduce their Leadership by the value in brackets after the special rule when taking any Morale checks, Regroup or Pinning tests. For example, a unit with the special rule Fear (2) would reduce the Leadership of all enemy models within 12" by 2.Enemy units that are locked in combat are only affected by this modifier if they are locked in combat with the unit that causes Fear. This modifier is not cumulative, and any given unit can only be affected by a single instance of the Fear special rule at a time. This will always be the highest single modifier among those applicable.
A model that causes Fear is not itself immune to Fear, and will still suffer a penalty to its Leadership if within range of an enemy unit that has the Fear special rule.
Anacharis Scoria’s mastery of Cybertheurgy went well beyond what was permissible to the doctrine of the Martian Omnissian Cult, or indeed the pronouncements of the Imperium, and enabled him through unknown means to imbue a preternatural animalism into the Cybernetica under him in combat, driving them into a maddened frenzy like tortured beasts when he willed it so.
Anacharis Scoria has the Artificia Machina, Artificia Cybernetica, and Ephemera Incursus Cybertheurgic Arcana, and has all Rites and weapons that are part of those Arcana.Forbidden Protocols – Any friendly units made up entirely of models with the Automata Unit Type that have at least one model within 6" of this Warlord may make Reactions, ignoring the usual restriction in the Automata Unit Type. In addition, an army whose Warlord has this Trait may make an additional Reaction in the Movement phase as long as Anacharis Scoria has not been removed as a casualty.
