Legio Titanicus – Mechanicum Ordinatus Ulator

This datasheet does not meet the selection criteria (see Settings tab).
Mechanicum Ordinatus Ulator
UNIT COMPOSITION: 1 ORDINATUS ULATOR
750 PointsPts

The fabled macro engines of the Centurio Ordinatus are rare and truly arcane technological wonders of staggering power. An esoteric weapon system capable of immense destruction, the Mechanicum Ordinatus Ulator ranks among the smaller classes of Ordinatus, but nevertheless stands as a colossus of war and is one of the most potent war machines at the Imperium’s disposal. The Ordinatus Ulator’s primary weapon system is the Ulator class sonic destructor, a terrifying weapon whose origins lie in the shadows of the Age of Strife; these devices, though inferior copies of the unique armament of the great Primus Ordinatus Mars, still operate on an order of magnitude far beyond anything mounted even on the largest super-heavy tank found in the Imperium’s common arsenal. Using a plasma reactor akin to those found on battle titans to power a directional sonic transduction generator of terrible power, it emits a varying waveform of destructive sound energy able to shatter the most resilient materials. The annihilating wave-pulse traverses the battlefield, wreaking havoc on all before it, the particular effect of its design meaning that the larger the target, the more damaging the wave’s impact.

SPECIAL RULES

Dispersal Field

A Model with this Special Rule may have the Dispersal Advanced Reaction made for it:

Dispersal
This Reaction allows the Reactive Player to reduce the Damage of all Hits in one Fire Group to 1.

Trigger: The Reactive Player may declare a Dispersal Reaction whenever a Model with the Dispersal Field Special Rule is the target of a Shooting Attack. The declaration is made after Step 3 of the Shooting Attack, once the Weapons to be used have been declared.

Cost: The Reactive Player must spend 1 point of their Reaction Allotment to declare a Dispersal Reaction – this cost is paid as soon as the declaration is made.

Target: The Unit that is making the Shooting Attack that triggered this Reaction is the Attacking Unit, the Unit that is the Target of the Shooting Attack is the Reacting Unit.

Process
  1. Once a Dispersal Reaction has been declared, the Active Player must resolve all remaining steps of the Shooting Attack Process as normal, up to the start of Step 5.
  2. In Step 5, the Controlling Player of the Reacting Unit may choose to reduce the Damage of all Hits in a Fire Group to 1.
  3. If the Reacting Player chooses not to reduce the Damage of Hits in the selected Fire Group then the Shooting Attack continues as normal, but the Reacting Player may make the same choice with each following Fire Group in that Shooting Attack.
  4. Once the Reacting Player has chosen to reduce the Damage of Hits in a single Fire Group, they may not affect any further Fire Groups and the Shooting Attack is resolved as normal.
Movement (M) – The Movement Characteristic is primarily used to determine how far a Model can move during the Movement Phase, with higher values denoting an ability to move further (see Moving Units). If a Model’s Movement Characteristic is reduced to 0, then the Controlling Player may not move, Rush or otherwise change the Model’s position on the Battlefield regardless of any other Rules that may affect it until its Movement is changed to a value greater than 0.
Ballistic Skill (BS) – The Ballistic Skill Characteristic is primarily used to determine a Model’s ability to make attacks during a Shooting Attack, with a higher value making it easier to succeed at attacks (see Ranged Hit Tests). If a Model’s Ballistic Skill is reduced to 0 then that Model cannot make Shooting Attacks, even if no Hit Test is required or it would have otherwise automatically succeeded due to the use of a Special Rule.
Strength (S) – The Strength Characteristic is primarily used to determine the effectiveness of Wound Tests inflicted by Melee Weapons, with a higher value making it easier to inflict wounds. If a Model’s Strength Characteristic is reduced to 0 then any Wound Tests made that would use that Characteristic or for any Melee Weapon automatically fails and no Dice are rolled for it (if the Wound Test could have triggered a variable Special Rule, then that Rule is considered to automatically fail to activate as part of the Test).
Armour Penetration (AP) – This Characteristic is used to determine if a Model Hit by attacks made with a Weapon may make an Armour Test. Like Saving Throws, lower values are more valuable for this Characteristic. When modifying the Armour Penetration Characteristic the same Rules are used as those for modifying Saving Throws.
Damage (D) – This Characteristic determines how the Wounds or Hull Points Characteristic of a Target Model that fails a Saving Throw after sustaining a wound from a Weapon is modified. A Weapon with a Damage Characteristic of 0 cannot inflict Damage on a Model, regardless of the Weapon’s other Characteristics or Special Rules.
Rules and Special Rules
The term Rule refers to any instructions that allow Players to resolve game actions as part of a Battle, covering all of the interactions between Models and Units (such as moving, Shooting and making Assaults). All of the material in the Principles of Combat, Rules of Battle and Battles in the Age of Darkness sections of this book are considered to be Rules. Special Rules modify how a Rule works, but do not present new basic game instructions, and in this book are mostly found in the Armoury of the Age of Darkness section. In all cases, Special Rules take precedence over Rules where the two present differing instructions.
Traits
Traits are a special kind of Characteristic, one which all Models have but which confers no inherent Rules or benefit on its own. Instead, Traits are used by other Special Rules and effects to target specific Models and apply benefits or penalties. The most common Traits are those for Allegiance and Faction, which are possessed by almost all Models. Allegiance requires that each Model have either the Loyalist or Traitor Trait, and most Models will gain one or more Traits based on the Army List from which they were selected.

For example, a Legionary selected from the Imperial Fists Faction and selected as part of a Loyalist Army would have the Loyalist and Imperial Fists Traits. On their own these Traits have no effect on the Model’s Characteristics, Points cost or other features, but Rules that target Imperial Fists or Loyalist Models will apply their effects to the Model.

In addition to Models, Weapons can also have Traits. These are usually different to those possessed by Models, but are used for the same purposes. Weapons will commonly have Traits that define the type of Weapon it is or a specific type of usage. For example, a bolt pistol has the following Traits: Assault, Bolt. These identify which ‘family’ of Weapons it belongs to for any Rules that might only affect ‘Bolt’ Weapons and notes that it can be used for attacks where only ‘Assault’ Weapons may be used.

While they appear similar to Characteristics, it is important to note that Traits never have a ‘value’ attached to them. Furthermore, Traits cannot be modified in any way by another Special Rule or effect during a Battle, unless a Rule specifically states it affects a Trait.
Combat Initiative Score – A Model’s Combat Initiative score is the combined value of that Model’s current Initiative Characteristic and the Initiative Modifier Characteristic of the Weapon used to make attacks for that Model. It determines in which Initiative Step attacks may be made for that Model.
Initiative Step – A Combat Round is made up of Initiative Steps, each of which has a value assigned to it to show the order in which they are resolved. In each Initiative Step, Models whose Combat Initiative score is equal to the value of the Initiative Step may make attacks. Initiative Steps are always resolved in descending order, from highest to lowest. As such, Initiative Step 10 is resolved before Initiative Step 9. Models removed from Combat before the Initiative Step in which they can attack lose the opportunity to make attacks.
COMBAT – A Combat is a reference to two or more Units conducting an ongoing struggle, where at least one Model from each Unit is in Base-to-Base Contact. Outside of the Assault Phase, a Combat is considered one entity and no other Unit may move through it or end a move within 1" of any Model in the Combat. No Unit in a Combat may be the target of any Shooting Attack.
Range (R) – This Characteristic determines the maximum distance, in inches ("), at which attacks may be made with a Weapon. A Weapon with Range 0 or ‘-’ may not make attacks as part of a Shooting Attack.
Firepower (FP) – This Characteristic is used to determine how many Dice are rolled when making attacks with this Weapon. A Weapon with a Firepower Characteristic of 0 may not be used to make attacks of any kind.
Ranged Strength (RS) – This Characteristic is used only during Wound Tests or Armour Penetration Tests for attacks made using ranged Weapons. If a Weapon has a Strength Characteristic of ‘0’ or then any Wound Tests made for it automatically fail and no Dice are rolled (if the Wound Test could have triggered a variable Special Rule, then that Rule is considered to automatically fail to activate as part of the Test).
Shooting Attacks
A Shooting Attack is the process by which a Unit makes a coordinated series of attacks targeting an enemy Unit.

In order to make a Shooting Attack for a Unit that has been selected during the Attack Sub-Phase, as part of a Reaction or for any other Rule or Sub-Phase that requires a Shooting Attack to be made, the following procedure must be followed:
  1. Select Target Unit.
  2. Check Target.
  3. Declare Weapons.
  4. Set Fire Groups.
  5. Select Fire Group To Resolve.
  6. Make Hit Tests.
  7. Make Wound Tests.
  8. Select Target Model.
  9. Make Saving Throws & Damage Mitigation Tests.
  10. Select Next Fire Group.
  11. Remove Casualties.
As part of the Rules for conducting a Shooting Attack, the term ‘Attacking Unit’ will be used to refer to the Unit whose Models will be making attacks as part of that Shooting Attack, while the term ‘Attacking Player’ will be used to identify the Player that controls the Attacking Unit. The term ‘Target Unit’ will be used to refer to the Unit that is selected as the Target Unit for the Shooting Attack.
Blast (X)

Some weapons trade precision for indiscriminate destruction, high explosive impacts that can devastate a wide area. From artillery shells to high energy blasts, such weapons are popular tools of destruction on the battlefields of the Horus Heresy.

Attacks made with the Blast (X) Special Rule use a Blast Marker to determine how many Hits are caused.

When making attacks with a Weapon that has the Blast (X) Special Rule, before any Hit Tests are made, a Blast Marker must first be placed to determine how many Hits may be inflicted by the attack. The Player making the attack must place the Blast Marker indicated in brackets as part of the Special Rule so that the hole in the middle is entirely over the Base of any one Model in the Target Unit. Once the Blast Marker has been placed, the Player making the attack must make a Hit Test for the attack, and each Model from the Target Unit that is fully or partially under the Blast Marker will suffer 1 Hit if the Hit Test is successful.

Hits on Other Units
If any Models from Units other than the Target Unit are fully or partially covered by the Blast Marker, then a new Fire Group must be created for those Hits and set to one side. Continue resolving the Shooting Attack on the original Target Unit, and once that Shooting Attack has been completely resolved begin a new Shooting Attack to resolve those additional Fire Groups generated for Units other than the original Target Unit.

If the Hit Test is unsuccessful then no Hits are inflicted and the Player making the attack must make a Scatter Roll for the Blast Marker. Once a Scatter Roll has been made for the Blast Marker and it has been moved, one Hit is inflicted on a Unit for each Model from that Unit that is wholly or partially covered by the Blast Marker.

Hits can be scored on both friendly and enemy Units by attacks using the Blast (X) Special Rule. Hits inflicted by Weapons with the Blast (X) Special Rule are allocated in the same manner as other Hits, regardless of which actual Models were under the Blast Marker and the Blast Marker may not be used to inflict Hits on specific Models.

If a Fire Group includes multiple attacks made with the Blast (X) Special Rule, do not place multiple Blast Markers. A single Blast Marker is placed using the Rules detailed above, and a Hit Test is made for each attack in that Fire Group. For each successful Hit Test, one Hit is inflicted for each Model from the target Unit that is fully or partially under the Blast Marker. If any Hit Tests are unsuccessful then, after any Hits made by successful Hit Tests are counted, a single Scatter Roll is made for the Blast Marker, regardless of the total number of unsuccessful Hit Tests. For each Hit Test that was unsuccessful, one Hit is inflicted on a Unit for each Model from that Unit that is wholly or partially covered by the Blast Marker after the Scatter Roll has been resolved.

The [Allegiance] Trait is used in the following Legio Titanicus datasheets:

Command
Troops
Transport
Lords of War
Transport Capacity – This Characteristic is only used to determine how many Models may Embark upon a Model (see the Transport Rules). Most Models with the Vehicle Type will have a Transport Capacity of 0/-, which simply means that no Models may Embark upon that Model.
Titan
The following Rules apply to all Models with the Titan Sub-Type:
Breaching (X)

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.

With a Weapon that has the Breaching (X) Special Rule there is a chance that a Wound Test may result in the Wound ignoring Armour Saves.

When any Wound Test is made for an attack with the Breaching (X) Special Rule, if the result of the Dice roll, before any modifiers are applied, is equal to or greater than the value of X attached to this variant of the Breaching (X) Special Rule, then if a wound is inflicted by that Wound Test, that wound becomes a ‘Breaching Wound’.

A Breaching Wound is always treated as having an AP Characteristic of 2 regardless of the Characteristics of the Weapon used to make the attack.

Shred (X)

Designed to rip and tear flesh, some weapons are fearsome and intimidating tools of warfare. Whether by the gnashing teeth of a chainblade or the jagged edges of flechette ammunition, these weapons scythe great holes in the lines of even the toughest of infantry and the largest of warriors.

Attacks made with the Shred (X) Special Rule can sometimes inflict an extra point of Damage.

When any Wound Test is made for an attack with the Shred (X) Special Rule, if the result of the Dice roll, before any modifiers are applied, is equal to or greater than the value of X attached to this variant of the Shred (X) Special Rule, then if a wound is inflicted by that Wound Test, the Damage Characteristic of that wound is increased by 1. Note that the Shred (X) Special Rule may only be triggered by a Wound Test and has no effect when making an Armour Penetration Test.
Deflagrate (X)

Exotic beam weapons of arcing energy or sequential explosions triggered by the death of the first victim, some weapons cause not a single casualty, but a slew of them. Such weapons are wielded with grim efficiency against close packed formations of troops on the battlefields of the Horus Heresy. The most well-known examples are the volkite weapons of Mars, but many others are known.

Unsaved Wounds inflicted by attacks with the Deflagrate (X) Special Rule can cause additional Hits.

At the end of Step 9 of the Shooting Attack process for any Fire Group or Strike Group that includes Weapons with the Deflagrate (X) Special Rule, create a new Fire Group or Strike Group that must then be selected in Step 10 and resolved. This new Fire Group or Strike Group includes a number of Hits equal to the number of Unsaved Wounds caused by the Fire Group or Strike Group that triggered its creation. These Hits all have a Strength equal to the value of X attached to the variant of the Deflagrate (X) Special Rule possessed by Weapons in the preceding Fire Group or Strike Group, an AP of a Damage of 1 and no Special Rules.
Hull Points (HP) – The Hull Points Characteristic is primarily used to determine a Model with the Vehicle Type’s capacity for receiving damage during a Battle, with a higher value allowing a Model to sustain more damage before it is removed from play. When a Model’s Hull Points Characteristic is reduced to 0 that Model is removed from play as a Casualty, see the Rules for Destroyed Vehicles here.
Centreline Mounted – Centreline Mounted Weapons may only attack targets in the Centreline Firing Arc.
Penetrating Hits – For each Penetrating Hit result, the target Unit suffers 1 Penetrating Hit. If available, any Saving Throws or Damage Mitigation Rolls may be made to discard the Penetrating Hit in the appropriate Step of the attack process (see the Rules for Shooting Attacks or Melee Attacks). If not discarded due to a Saving Throw or Damage Mitigation Roll the Model will lose a number of Hull Points equal to the Damage Characteristic of the Penetrating Hit, which is decided by the Characteristics of the Weapon used to inflict the Penetrating Hit in the same manner as wounds.
Glancing Hits – A Glancing Hit inflicts no Damage, however for each Glancing Hit, the attacking Player must roll once on the Vehicle Damage Table in Step 11 of the Shooting Attack process or Step 10 of the Initiative Step process (Players may find it useful to place a marker to remind them of this).
Armourbane

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.

A Weapon with the Armourbane Special Rule counts Glancing Hits as Penetrating Hits.

When making Armour Penetration Tests for an attack with this Special Rule, a result that is equal to, or greater than, the target Armour Value inflicts a Penetrating Hit. A Weapon with this Special Rule can never inflict a Glancing Hit, and any Rule that would force them to do so instead inflicts a Penetrating Hit.

This datasheet has Lords of War Battlefield Role. Full list of Legio Titanicus units sharing same Battlefield Role follows:

Titans and Armour Facings
Titans, like most Models with the Vehicle Type, have different Armour Facings. However, unlike other Models with the Vehicle Type, a Titan’s Armour Facings are not tied to specific arcs on the Model and a Model with the Titan Sub-Type does not have a ‘Front’, ‘Side’ or ‘Rear’ Armour Facing. Instead a Titan has a ‘Primary’ and ‘Exposed’ Armour Facing for each of its Profiles. Most attacks will hit the Primary Facing, regardless of the direction from which the attack originates - and the Exposed Facing is only used when a Special Rule or a result of Damage allows the attacking Player to specifically target it.
Repair Crew (X)

Unlike lesser war machines, a titan does not need to rely on the assistance of other warriors for its repairs, for within the metal hull of each such engine resides a dedicated repair crew.

A Model with the Repair Crew (X) Special Rule can repair itself.

In the Controlling Player’s Start Phase, during the Effects Sub-Phase they may choose to activate this Special Rule. Once activated, the Controlling Player of a Model with the Repair Crew (X) Special Rule, may restore a number of Hull Points equal to the value of the variant of this Special Rule possessed by a Model to any one of that Model’s Profiles. If the value of the variant of this Special Rule is greater than the number of lost Hull Points on the chosen Profile then the excess Hull Points may not be transferred to another Profile and cannot increase the value of the chosen Profile’s Hull Point Characteristic above its Base Value.

This Special Rule can restore Hull Points to a Profile that has been Crippled, and if a Profile is restored to one or more Hull Points then it is no longer Crippled.

Activating the Repair Crew (X) Special Rule does not limit the Model with that Special Rule when moving or attacking in the same Turn.
Player
A Player is the actual person moving Models and making rolls, the Player of the game. Battles will include more than one Player, and the Rules will often refer to the Active Player (the Player currently taking their Player Turn) and the Reactive Player (the Player not currently taking their Player Turn, and thus only allowed to interact with the game through Reactions) in order to differentiate between them. Sometimes the Rules will also refer to the Controlling Player, that is the Player that Controls the Unit, Model or other game element the Rule is referring to.
Panic (X)

Some weapons are so terrifyingly potent that their use instils abject fear in even the most strong-willed warriors. In the face of such wanton power the target can only flee or prepare for death, for few would live to tell of the true horrors of the Age of Darkness once they were unleashed on the battlefield.

Weapons and other attacks that have the Panic (X) Special Rule have a chance of inflicting the Routed Status on the Target Unit.

If a Shooting Attack made for a Weapon or Model with this Special Rule inflicts one or more wounds on a Target Unit, regardless of whether any Damage is inflicted, that Target Unit must make a Leadership Check in the Morale Sub-Phase of the same Player Turn. If this Check is failed then all Models in the Unit gain the Routed Status, if the Check is passed then there is no further effect. The value of X attached to this Special Rule is applied as a negative modifier to the Leadership Characteristic of Models in the Target Unit when making Checks caused by an attack with this Special Rule. If the attack includes multiple Weapons with different versions of this Special Rule the modifiers do not stack - use only the greatest modifier.
Macro-auspex

Specialised auspexes designed to efficiently target larger war engines at great distances are often fitted to the largest titan weapons. These devices allow the long range duels of such gargantuan engines to be conducted at distances too great for most targeting units, but are less use when targeting smaller, closer enemies.

When not attacking Titans, Knights or Super-heavies, a Weapon with this Special Rule must make Snap Shots.

If the target of a Shooting Attack is not a Unit entirely composed of Models with the Titan, Knight or Super-heavy Sub-Type or other Models with a Base Wounds Characteristic of 10 or more, then all attacks made for a Weapon with this Special Rule must be made as Snap Shots.
BORESIGHT MOUNTED - The Boresight Arc is a narrow corridor that extends to the front of the Titan, in exactly the same manner as the Centreline Mount described in the Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness Rulebook, except that the width of this corridor is determined by marking the centre point of the Titan as the middle of the corridor and its total width being 6".

FRONT AND REAR MOUNTED - The Front and Rear Arcs are determined by drawing a line through the centre of a Titan, with Front Mounted Weapons attacking targets in front of that line, and Rear Mounted Weapons attacking targets behind that line.

Heavy (X)

Some weapons are so heavy that, while they can be fired on the move, are more powerful when properly braced and made ready before shooting. Warriors on the battlefield must use their judgement to decide when speed is required and when the full firepower of their arsenal must be unleashed.

Weapons with the Heavy (X) Special Rule gain +1 to a Characteristic when Stationary.

When making a Shooting Attack with a Weapon that has the Heavy (X) Special Rule, a modifier of +1 is added to a Characteristic if the Model with that Weapon is part of a Unit that remained Stationary in the Controlling Player’s previous Movement Phase. If the Characteristic listed is AP, then instead it improves the AP by one Step (see the Rules for modifying Saves and AP). The value of X in the specific variant of the Heavy (X) Special Rule determines which Characteristic gains the +1 modifier.

The Macrotek Trait is used in the following Legio Titanicus datasheets:

Lords of War
Ordinatus
The following Rules apply to all Models with the Ordinatus Sub-Type:
  • Models with this Sub-Type are not affected in any way by Difficult Terrain or Dangerous Terrain, and may pass through Impassable Terrain as long as they do not end a Move on or within an area of Impassable Terrain.
  • When making multiple Shooting Attacks in the same Shooting Phase, a Model with this Sub-Type does not have to make all attacks as Snap Shots.
  • A Model with this Sub-Type is limited on when and which Reactions may be made for it.
  • The Rules for applying Damage to a Model with this Sub-Type vary from those used with other Models with the Vehicle Type.
  • The Rules for Shooting Attacks and Combats that involve Ordinatus are changed as noted in this addendum.
  • If a Model with this Sub-Type has a Transport Capacity, then it may transport any number of Units, so long as the number of Models in the transported Units does not exceed the Vehicle’s Transport Capacity.
  • A Model with this Sub-Type cannot gain any Tactical Statuses or Cybertheurgic Statuses.
  • A Model with this Sub-Type cannot be affected by any Psychic Weapon, Psychic Reaction or Psychic Power.
  • A Model with this Sub-Type may not be targeted by the Battlesmith (X) Special Rule.
Dispersal Field
A Model with this Special Rule may have the Dispersal Advanced Reaction made for it:

Dispersal
This Reaction allows the Reactive Player to reduce the Damage of all Hits in one Fire Group to 1.

Trigger: The Reactive Player may declare a Dispersal Reaction whenever a Model with the Dispersal Field Special Rule is the target of a Shooting Attack. The declaration is made after Step 3 of the Shooting Attack, once the Weapons to be used have been declared.

Cost: The Reactive Player must spend 1 point of their Reaction Allotment to declare a Dispersal Reaction – this cost is paid as soon as the declaration is made.

Target: The Unit that is making the Shooting Attack that triggered this Reaction is the Attacking Unit, the Unit that is the Target of the Shooting Attack is the Reacting Unit.

Process
  1. Once a Dispersal Reaction has been declared, the Active Player must resolve all remaining steps of the Shooting Attack Process as normal, up to the start of Step 5.
  2. In Step 5, the Controlling Player of the Reacting Unit may choose to reduce the Damage of all Hits in a Fire Group to 1.
  3. If the Reacting Player chooses not to reduce the Damage of Hits in the selected Fire Group then the Shooting Attack continues as normal, but the Reacting Player may make the same choice with each following Fire Group in that Shooting Attack.
  4. Once the Reacting Player has chosen to reduce the Damage of Hits in a single Fire Group, they may not affect any further Fire Groups and the Shooting Attack is resolved as normal.
Advanced Reactions
Advanced Reactions are more complex ploys and tactical tricks that can be made by commanders in the heat of Battle. They may only be used by the Reactive Player and require the expenditure of Reaction Points in order to be used, following the general Rules presented for Core Reactions. Unlike Core Reactions, which represent the most common types of Reaction and will see use in most Battles, Advanced Reactions represent rarer situations and depending on the Armies in use may not see use in some Battles.

This rulebook presents a number of Advanced Reactions that may be made by a Player of any Faction or Allegiance. Future publications may present additional Advanced Reactions that may only be used by Players of a specific Faction or Allegiance, or that cover more niche situations.

The following Advanced Reactions are presented in this section:
