An uncommon pattern of pre-fabricated fortification in use with some Divisio Militaris forces, these constructs were largely intended to operate as anti-aircraft strongpoints and as expendable reinforcements to defence lines in high intensity warzones. No match for a concentrated assault by heavy enemy forces, they were ideal for turning back light attacks or enemy skirmishing forces and in smaller warzones could serve as vital rally points for warriors under concentrated assault.

Some fortifications have specially designed compartments where a limited number of combatants can make attacks at the enemy outside while remaining out of harm’s way. Such attacks are made with limited fields of view, due to the often cramped compartments and limited openings from which to fire, and the use of some dangerous weapons is avoided – lest an unfortunate overload causes catastrophic damage in the tight quarters of such bunkers.
A Model with this Special Rule can make extra attacks equal to the value of X with the Weapons of Embarked Models.This datasheet has Fortification Battlefield Role. Full list of Battlefield Fortifications units sharing same Battlefield Role follows:
Military buildings are often vital to defensive operations, serving to shelter vulnerable troops, mount heavy guns or deploy other technological defences. During the Horus Heresy almost every force made use of such defences, though they were rarely considered a decisive element in any order of battle.
The following Rules apply to all Models with the Fortification Type:Emplacements are either purpose built military structures or civilian buildings hastily converted to mount ranged weapon batteries. Given the limited nature of the systems that control these structures they cannot be relied upon to fight a battle alone, but can serve as a useful means of delaying or corralling the foe while more traditional troops act elsewhere on the battlefield.
The following Rules apply to all Models with the Emplacement Sub-Type:Most combat aircraft fly at such speeds that regular weaponry is hard pressed to track or hit them. Only cannon and beams specifically designed to strike such swift targets have any hope of landing hits upon them by any means other than sheer luck.
Attacks made with the Skyfire Special Rule ignore penalties when attacking Flyers.Some weapons cleave flesh with ease, inflicting terrible wounds that no mortal toughness can resist. Though of less use against armour and steel, such munitions are capable of tearing bloody holes in the ranks of advancing infantry and stalling any attack in its tracks.
With a Weapon that has the Rending (X) Special Rule, there is a chance that a Hit Test may result in an automatic wound.Whether by dint of superior skill or exemplary wargear, some warriors are better able to place strikes on enemy weak points. Such attacks can fell even the most powerful foes with a single well-placed shot.
Attacks made with the Critical Hit (X) Special Rule have a chance to automatically cause a wound and inflict 1 extra point of Damage.

Heavy beams and armour-piercing cannon rarely inflict superficial damage, but always blast and break the hull of their target. Such weapons are superior tank killers, their sheer power prized over lesser weapons when the objective is to apply maximum damage without concern for finesse.

Bunkers are fortified shelters for infantry, allowing them to find temporary respite on the battlefield. Some such structures also boast fixed weapons batteries, allowing troops to continue to fight even as they take cover.
The following Rules apply to all Models with the Bunker Sub-Type:Some fortifications have specially designed compartments where a limited number of combatants can make attacks at the enemy outside while remaining out of harm’s way. Such attacks are made with limited fields of view, due to the often cramped compartments and limited openings from which to fire, and the use of some dangerous weapons is avoided – lest an unfortunate overload causes catastrophic damage in the tight quarters of such bunkers.
A Model with this Special Rule can make extra attacks equal to the value of X with the Weapons of Embarked Models.Some weapons are almost as dangerous to the wielder as to the foe. Supercharged powerpacks can explode in combat or volatile munitions can jam or even detonate, all of which can prove deadly to those charged with deploying such weapons.

Designed to pierce the armour worn by heavy infantry, some weapons have gained a fearsome reputation on the battlefields of the Floras Heresy. While many such weapons are rare or temperamental in use, the sheer power of their attacks more than makes up for this.

The beams of energy generated by melta weaponry dissipate over long ranges. When used at close quarters, however, their effect on armoured vehicles is devastating.

Whether equipped with antigrav repulsors or empowered by some esoteric, psychic art, this unit is able to skim above the ground. While incapable of true flight, this does allow it to avoid any of the hampering effects of the prevailing terrain, gliding over obstacles that would ensnare or entangle more conventional troops.
The following Rules apply to all Models with the Antigrav Sub-Type:
