Ironwing Gauntlet

The Ironwing holds sway over the vast armouries of the Dark Angels, commanding a force of war engines greater than almost any other Legion. Individual Ironwing Gauntlets provide a tactically flexible force of armoured tanks and transports that can be individually detached to elements of the other Hexagrammaton Wings or combined into vast armoured hosts.

Dreadwing Cadre

When the Lion decrees that a world must die, it is the veterans of the Dreadwing that assume command of such operations. Dreadwing Cadres concentrate these grim warriors into detachments whose sole purview is the utter annihilation of their foe.

Stormwing Muster

The Stormwing are masters of the open battlefield, artists of shot and shell, and their number forms the core of the Dark Angels Legion. Individual Stormwing Musters practise heavy infantry tactics developed from the initial doctrines of the 1st Legion’s earliest deployments in the Unification Wars, leveraging each Legionary’s individual power into an unstoppable tide.

Deathwing Conclave

Duty weighs heavily upon the oath-hound warriors of the Deathwing, once sworn to a task they will let no obstacle bar them from its completion. Deathwing Conclaves are among the most potent fighting divisions within the Ist Legion, for while small, some of the deadliest and most experienced fighters in the Imperium can he found among their number.

Ravenwing Lance

“The arrow knows the path." - this saying holds great meaning for the masters of the Ravenwing, a formation known for adhering to strange truths acquired from distant worlds, hut also for their success on the field of war. Ravenwing Lances showcase well this latter truth, for they are fleet and deadly in equal measure.

Firewing Echelon

Firewing Echelons gather the most capable hunter-killers in the Legion, an unerring host whose lethality is only matched by their precision. These warriors single out enemy commanders for elimination, cutting the head from the enemy force with an overwhelming strike.

Advanced Reaction

Chasing the Wind

With the power the White Scars commanded, they were never hasty and with the might of their armouries, they were not reckless. Of all the champions of the Vth Legion, placement and timing were the mightiest, for even the faintest blow landed in precisely the correct position could see the greatest wall tumble.

1. Once the Target Unit has finished its Move, the Reactive Player may make a Move with the Reacting Unit, following the normal Rules for Movement, including applying any modifiers due to Difficult Terrain and making Tests required due to Dangerous Terrain but the Reacting Unit may not Rush.
2. Once the Reacting Unit has completed this move, the Active Player must then proceed with the remainder of their Movement Phase.

Additional Detachment

Chogorian Warband

Favoured by the Chogorian recruits to the Vth Legion as the ideal subdivision of a fighting body of troops, the Chogorian Warhand was also employed by many of the Legion’s Terran warriors. Composed of a body of Legionaries mounted entirely on fleet warbikes and Scimitar jetbikes, or in other transport vehicles, these formations were ideal for harrying campaigns or lightning strike warfare.

Advanced Reaction

Bestial Savagery

Those few that survived the onslaught of the VIth Legion would tell tales of warriors that took on the aspect of mythical beasts, overcome with animalistic fury and heedless of enemy fire. Although there was no evidence of this, the demeanour of the Space Wolves made it so that only a small step in the imagination was necessary to conjure such a fiction.

1. Once the Bestial Savagery Advanced Reaction has been declared, the Active Player must resolve all remaining Steps of the Shooting Attack process as normal. Models in the Reacting Unit gain the Feel No Pain (5+) Special Rule for the duration of this Shooting Phase.
2. Immediately after Step 11 of the Shooting Attack that triggered this Reaction is resolved, the Reacting Unit must Move following the procedure for making a Set-up Move, as if the Target Unit were the Target of a Charge.
3. If this Move is sufficient to bring any Models into Base Contact with the enemy, the Reacting Unit counts as having made a Successful Charge during the following Assault Phase and automatically passes all Checks that it is required to make in the following Morale Sub-Phase, with the Controlling Player assumed to have rolled a pair of 1s for each required Check.

Additional Detachment

Bloodied Claw

The Space Wolves have never shied from the gore-drenched demands of the all-out frontal assault, but in this, as with other facets of their way of war, their unique character and controlled savagery shapes much of what they do when faced with such a dire prospect. So-called ‘Bloodied Claw’ detachments exemplified this approach at the tactical level, gathering rapid skirmishers and heavy’ assault elements into a force which could both shatter the foe’s line and exploit the breach to wreak bloody carnage.

Advanced Reaction

Bastion of Fire

Even as the enemy closed upon them, no Imperial Fist would eschew his faith in firepower, trusting in the hail of bolt shell or storm of las fire to halt their charge and scour them from the battlefield as they made their approach.

1. Once the Bastion of Fire Advanced Reaction has been declared, the Reactive Player makes a Shooting Attack with the Reacting Unit, targeting only the Target Unit.
2. Once the Shooting Attack made as part of this Reaction has been completely resolved, including removing any Casualties, the Active Player must then proceed with the remainder of their Movement Phase.

Additional Detachment

Siege Gauntlet

Whether fielded for offensive or defensive purposes, Siege Gauntlets formed a cornerstone of the Imperial Fists’ tactical doctrines, combining fire support elements with a core of boarding-shield equipped troops, providing phenomenally resilient interlocking defence with calculated bursts of relentless aggression.

Advanced Reaction

Wrath of Angels

Incensed by their enemies’ def ance instead of cowed by their display of firepower, the Blood Angels are known to surge towards their attackers in a ferocious assault. So aggressive is this bold action, many of the IXth Legion’s foes turn on their heels and seek cover as crimson-armoured warriors fall upon their lines.

1. Once the Wrath of Angels Advanced 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 11.
2. Immediately after Step 11 of the Shooting Attack that triggered this Reaction is resolved, each Model in the Reacting Unit must move following the procedure for making a normal Move, directly towards the nearest Model in the Target Unit, moving the maximum distance possible while remaining at least 1" away from any enemy Model.
3. After resolving this Move, if any Model from the Reacting Unit is within 6" of any Model in the Target Unit, the Controlling Player of the Target Unit must make a Cool Check for it in the Morale Sub-Phase of the same Player Turn. If this Check is failed then all Models in the Target Unit gain the Pinned Status.

Additional Detachment

Revelation Host

Many a Blood Angels assault began suddenly, scores of red- armoured warriors descending from on-high on wings of fire, reaping a fearsome tally of the foe.

Advanced Reaction

Spite of the Gorgon

Methodical in their approach to warfare, the Iron Hands would unleash furious barrages of scornful fire at any enemy bold enough to attempt to close on their positions, until gun barrels glowed white-hot and shell casings were piled knee-high.

1. Once the Spite of the Gorgon Advanced Reaction has been declared, the Reactive Player makes a Shooting Attack with the Reacting Unit.
2. This Shooting Attack must target the Target Unit and is made at full Ballistic Skill, not as Snap Shots, and may be made using any Ranged Weapon. Until this Shooting Attack is resolved, Weapons selected for it have their Firepower Characteristic modified by +1 and gain the Overload (1) Special Rule. If that Weapon already has the Overload (X) Special Rule, improve the value of X on that Special Rule by +1.
3. After resolving this Shooting Attack, the Active Player proceeds with Step 3 of that Charge as normal. The Reactive Player may not make Volley Attacks during Step 4 of that Charge, even if the Active Player chooses to do so.

Additional Detachments

Spearhead Phalanx

The Iron Hands were exemplars of armoured warfare, melding heavy armour detachments with accompanying troops mounted in robust transports. These broke through enemy lines with ease, shattering their defiance with the thunder of heavy guns.

Medusan Vanguard

Typical Iron Hands spearhead assaults were led by phalanxes of implacable Terminators supported by Dreadnought walkers and backed up by cyber-augmented warriors to maintain its momentum where required.

Advanced Reaction

Retribution Strike

For the Ultramarines it was not enough to defy the enemy. Instead, the warriors of the XIIIth must know the enemy and predict its actions in order to make the perfect counter. A theoretical solution to each eventuality must be factored and every individual must be ready to implement it.

• It is not the target of the enemy Shooting Attack that triggered this Reaction.
• At least one Model in the Unit has Line of Sight to the enemy Unit that triggered this Reaction.
• It is eligible to make a Reaction.
• It is eligible to make a Shooting Attack.
• It is entirely composed of Models with the Ultramarines Trait.

1. Once the Reacting Unit has been selected, the Active Player must then resolve all remaining Steps of the Shooting Attack process as normal, up to the start of Step 11.
2. Before resolving Step 11, the Reactive Player makes a Shooting Attack with the Reacting Unit, targeting only the Target Unit.
3. Once this Shooting Attack has been completely resolved, including removing any Casualties, the Players must then finish resolving Step 11 of the original Shooting Attack that triggered the Reaction.

Additional Detachment

Primus Demi-Company

The Ultramarines deployed their forces in a variety of standardised formations. Each of these templated strike forces contained a flexible mix of units, each warrior well-briefed and drilled, knowing his role and objectives before their arrival on the battlefield.

Advanced Reaction

Selfless Burden

The duty of safeguarding the Imperium was placed before the safety of each of Vulkan’s sons. With a selfless fervour they placed their own bodies between the enemy and the heart of the Imperium, willing to sacrifice their lives in order to strike at the traitorous followers of Horus. This was their duty and their honour which they carried into battle with pride.

1. All Models in the Reacting Unit have their Weapon Skill, Strength and Attacks Characteristics modified by +1 until the end of the current Assault Phase.
2. In the following Statuses Sub-Phase, the Reactive Player must roll a D6 for each Model in the Reacting Unit. For each result of 1, the Reacting Unit suffers 1 automatic wound with a Damage Characteristic of 1, an AP of ‘-’, against which Saving Throws and Damage Mitigation Rolls may be taken.

Additional Detachment

Immolation Covenant

When an especially stubborn foe requires destruction, the Salamanders will deploy Vindicator siege tanks, reducing their fortifications to rubble before sending in support squads equipped for short ranged engagements backed up by Predator tanks mounting deadly flame weaponry.

Advanced Reaction

Shadow Veil

Even when the enemies’ sights were upon the Raven Guard, in the moment it would take to pull the trigger of their weapon, the ebon-clad warriors would be gone, enveloped in shadow or slipped away beyond sight.

1. All Models in the Reacting Unit may be moved a distance equal to their Initiative Characteristic using the normal Rules for Movement, but may not increase this distance by choosing to Rush. If no Model in the Target Unit is determined to be within Line of Sight and/or Range of any Model in the Attacking Unit once this move is resolved, the Active Player may not select an alternative target for that Attacking Unit during the current Shooting Phase.
2. Once the Reacting Player has resolved this Move, all Models in the Reacting Unit gain the Shrouded (5+) Special Rule for the remainder of the current Shooting Phase and the Active Player may move to Step 2 of the Shooting Attack sequence.

The Blood Crow

Years of murder and death on Kiavahr had sharpened the skills of Kaedes Nex to the point that there were few marksmen in the Imperium that could match his skills. Once he had set his sights on a target, there was little that could be done to stop his wrath.

Additional Detachment

Decapitation Cadre

The Raven Guard combat doctrine encourages swift precision strikes against key targets. Decapitation Cadres feature roving Reconnaissance squads to locate key enemy command posts, before calling in fast-moving Dark Furies to overwhelm these foes in a blur of shredding claws.

Aflame (X)

Some weapons are wreathed in flame emitted from small projectors, or burn with otherworldly fire, stirring a primaeval aversion in even the boldest warriors.

Bitter Duty

Some warriors are marked by the dire weaponry they bear or the grim tactics in which they are trained. These dour cohorts are shunned by their brethren, whether out of respect for their burden or from fear of their rage.

Combi

Some weapons feature multiple weapons systems linked to the same trigger. Often each weapon will have a specific role, but in extremis, both can be fired simultaneously, blasting the foe with a variety of deadly munitions.

Firestorm

Many units within the Legion conduct warfare at pointblank distances, blasting their foes with a deluge of short ranged firepower.

Gun Emplacement

Mounted on a static cruciform carriage, this emplacement provides a stable firing platform for the armoured turret above.

Impact Reactive Doors

Many drop pods have doors or hatches designed to release via explosive bolts upon landing, either allowing their passengers to disembark as swiftly as possible or for built-in weaponry to be unleashed upon nearby foes.

Implacable Advance

The wargear of many Legiones Astartes warriors and war machines incorporates a variety of targeting and stabilisation systems, enabling larger weaponry to be brought to bear even at close ranges.

Medic (X)

Some specialists are trained in field medicine and carry specialist equipment, from a simple satchel of bandages and pain suppressants to the complex narthecium devices carried by Legion apothecaries. If able to tend to the injured in time, such warriors can he returned to the battle, enabling them to fight on.

Melta (X)

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.

Orbital Assault Vehicle

Drop pods and other dedicated orbital assault vehicles are intended for one purpose only - to deliver warriors and equipment from orbiting spacecraft to battlefields on a planet’s surface. Once deployed they play little further part in the battle, serving only to support the onslaught of their passengers.

Overload (X)

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.

Rapid Tracking

Some weapons feature augmented motility and enhanced targeting systems, able to track and lock onto fast moving targets with ease.

Shot Selector

Some weapons are designed to feed from multiple small magazines loaded with specialist ammunition. The most common of these are the Tempest and Scorpius rounds commonly issued to Seeker Squads, but many other Legion forces may utilise even more esoteric and specialised ammunition.

• Panic (1)
• Breaching (4+)
• Suppressive (2)

Slow and Purposeful

Many warriors are steady hut sure, slow to advance but no less deadly for it.

Void Shields (X)

Some especially large vehicles are equipped with almost impenetrable shields of energy, akin to those used on Titan god-engines, relics from ancient times known as void shields.

Void Darts (Psychic Weapon)

Painstakingly crafted to sub-molecular tolerances and meeting the exacting specifications of each Vigilator, each of these masterworks of mechanical technology are calibrated to deliver hardened penetrator rounds with immeasurably little variance between the point of aim and the point of impact.

Breach the Veil (Psychic Power, Blessing)

Binding the denizens of the Warp to their will, the Esoterist breaches the fabric of reality, dragging their otherworldly allies onto the battlefield and setting them upon their foe.

1. Once the Focus has been decided, make a Manifestation Check.
2. If the Manifestation Check is successful, the Active Player can select one Unit from a Daemonic Manifestation Detachment from the same Army as the Focus that is in Reserves. Reserve Rolls made for that Unit are automatically successful for the duration of this Psychic Power.

Seal the Veil (Psychic Reaction, Curse)

Many Esoterists master the sealing ofxtheric energy and investigate any method of repelling the foul entities that spill from that realm, no matter how strange or ritualistic such arcane tricks might be.

1. Once the Focus and Target Unit have been decided, the Target Unit’s Controlling Player makes a Resistance Check for that Unit.
2. If the Resistance Check is failed, then the Target Unit cannot make a Set-Up Move of more than 1", and when a Charge Roll is made for that Unit in Step 5 of the Charge Procedure, the highest Dice is discarded instead of the lowest.

Unseen Bolt (Psychic Weapon)

A bolt of lightning summoned forth from the endless blue sky, this is the hallmark of the Stormseer’s power and a potent weapon against the enemies of the White Scars.

Call of the Wind (Psychic Power, Blessing)

Calling upon the ancient wisdom of the Chogorian shaman, a Stormseer can see the currents of the winds of the future, and speed his brethren along the swift path to victory.

1. Once the Focus and Target Unit have been decided, make a Manifestation Check.
2. If this Psychic Power is successfully Manifested, until the end of the Phase, the Target Unit cannot Rush, but the Movement Characteristic of each Model in the Target Unit is modified by a value equal to that Model’s Initiative Characteristic.
3. If the Manifestation Check fails then there is no further effect to the Target Unit.

Wrath of the Death Wolf (Psychic Weapon)

The Caster of Runes summons a storm from the cold hearth of Morkai and channels it into an icy blast which shatters its frozen victims.
