Legiones Astartes – Fulgrim
- Fulgrim 425 pts
The mercurial and prideful Fulgrim was the Primarch of the Emperor’s Children Legion. Fulgrim strove to be a paragon in all things: generalship, martial skill, governance, reason and endeavour, and passed on his values to the Legion where they became enshrined as a remorseless dedication to perfection in war. The Emperor’s Children under his rule rose from the ashes of near-extinction to become shining exemplars of the Emperor’s vision for the Legiones Astartes. Fulgrim maintained clear and rigid lines of authority within his Legion; his personal beliefs, opinions and inclinations in all matters filtered down through the ranks as ironclad doctrine that was not to be questioned. His sons modelled their lives around him, adoring him and striving to reach the ever-rising heights of his ambitions.

The Gilded Panoply
Fulgrim was known to enter battle wearing an ornate suit of artificer armour designed to give free rein to his phenomenal speed and agility.
The Gilded Panoply provides Fulgrim with a 2+ Armour Save, a 3+ Invulnerable Save against Melee Attacks and a 4+ Invulnerable Save against all other Wounds inflicted upon him.The Blade of the Laer
Fulgrim’s weapon of choice was a slender, two-handed sword presented to him by the Warmaster himself. The sword’s quicksilver blade, able to slice stone and steel without mar, was by common repute reforged from the masterwork weapons of the xenos Laer, but in truth may have had darker origins yet.

One of a number of arms Fulgrim carried as his mood took him, Firebrand is a masterpiece of the gunsmith’s craft, as much a work of art as it was a fearsome weapon of war.

During the Great Crusade Fulgrim wielded Fireblade, wrought for him by the hand of Ferrus Manus. This heavy bladed longsword was a rare gift from the Gorgon, a sign of his unlikely friendship with the Phoenician and a deadly tool of war.

Tactical Excellence
Fulgrim’s art of war focused around the perfect execution of pre-planned strategies and tactics, enabling him to adapt to the battlefield and foe he and his Legion must encounter and leaving little opportunity for that foe to disrupt his plans.
Once per battle, at the start of any Phase, Fulgrim’s controlling player may declare the use of this special rule. For the duration of that Phase any enemy units that attempt to declare a Reaction against a Move, Shooting Attack or Charge made by Fulgrim or a unit that he has joined, must first pass a Leadership test (using the highest Leadership Characteristic in the unit attempting to make a Reaction), unless the unit that is making the Reaction includes at least one model with the Primarch Unit Type, in which case the unit may declare Reactions as normal.Sublime Swordsman
Fulgrim’s skill as a duellist and swordsman is beyond that of any mortal warrior or even one of the enhanced Space Marines of the Emperor’s Legions.
When Fulgrim makes Melee Attacks as part of a Challenge, he gains a number of additional Attacks equal to the amount which his Initiative Characteristic is greater than that of his opponent. For example, if Fulgrim attacks an enemy model with an Initiative Characteristic of 5 as part of a Challenge, Fulgrim’s Initiative of 8 grants him 3 extra Attacks.Warlord: Sire of the Emperor’s Children
In his glory days, Fulgrim was an exemplar of what all the Emperor’s Primarchs could be – a brilliant tactician, superlative warrior and a hero to those that followed him into battle. It was, perhaps, the great praise he garnered for his success that led to his slow corruption. Rightful pride in his accomplishments turned to self-obsession and hubris would soon see him fall into the service of Horus and the heresy he would unleash upon the galaxy.
If chosen as the army’s Warlord, Fulgrim automatically has the Sire of the Emperor’s Children Warlord Trait and may not select any other Warlord Trait.Sire of the Emperor’s Children – All friendly models with the Legiones Astartes (Emperor’s Children) special rule that can draw a line of sight to Fulgrim may use Fulgrim’s Leadership Characteristic for all Morale checks and Pinning tests they are required to take and all friendly units composed entirely of models with the Legiones Astartes (Emperor’s Children) special rule on the battlefield while Fulgrim is also on the battlefield gain +1 to the Wound value used to calculate if the unit has won a close combat. In addition, the first Reaction made in each Game Turn by Fulgrim and any unit he has joined does not use up a point of the controlling player’s Reaction Allotment.
