The eldest of the Chaos Space Marines harbour within their corrupted souls a burning desire for vengeance upon the Imperium and the galaxy as a whole. They channel this ire against their chosen targets, relentlessly pursuing their victims until every last foe lies dead upon the battlefield.

• That unit is not visible to any other units (units are visible to themselves).
• Any other unit is not visible to that unit.
• Players cannot measure distances to or from that unit (units are within range of their own abilities).

• Each model in that unit is within 3" of that TRANSPORT.
• That unit was not set up on the battlefield this turn.
• That unit is eligible to embark within that TRANSPORT, as described on that TRANSPORT’s datasheet.
• That TRANSPORT has sufficient remaining transport capacity for each model in that unit.

• If a rule instructs you to move a model as close as possible to a unit or model you must end that model’s move in base contact with that unit or model if its move is sufficient to do so without breaking any other restrictions (such as coherency), or as close as you can achieve if its move is not sufficient.
• If a model is already as close as possible to a unit or model when it is instructed to make a move as close as possible towards a unit or model, that model cannot be moved, but still counts as having made the move in question.
• If a rule instructs you to move a model as close as possible to an objective you must end that model’s move within range of an objective if its move is sufficient to do so without breaking any other restrictions (such as coherency), or as close as you can achieve if its move is not sufficient.
• If that model is already within range of an objective it can move up to the maximum distance of that move but must end its move still within range of that objective.

Beseeching the Chaos Gods with fanatical fervour, the profane champions of the Heretic Astartes pray for diabolic boons, promising the vilest of offerings in return for their power.

• [LETHAL HITS]
• [SUSTAINED HITS 1]

1. Select Model: Select one model in that unit by following the first instruction below that applies:
   
   

   If a non-CHARACTER model in that unit has lost one or more wounds, you must select that model. Otherwise, if that unit contains one or more non-CHARACTER models, you must select one of those models. Otherwise, if one or more CHARACTER models in that unit have lost one or more wounds, you must select one of those models. Otherwise, you must select one CHARACTER model in that unit.



2. Resolve Damage: The selected model loses 1 wound. If this reduces that model’s remaining wounds to 0, it is destroyed.

• If the target unit is an attached unit, use the highest T characteristic amongst bodyguard models in that unit that are on the battlefield.
• Use the highest T characteristic amongst models in that unit that are on the battlefield.

1. Create Groups: Divide all models in the target unit into the following groups, as many times as required:
   
   • One group for each CHARACTER model.
   • One group for all other models with the same W, Sv and InSv characteristics.
2. Allocation Order: Declare the order in which those groups will have attacks allocated to them, applying all of the following:
   
   • If a non-CHARACTER group contains a model that has lost one or more wounds, that group must be first in the allocation order.
   • No CHARACTER group can be earlier in the allocation order than a non-CHARACTER group.
   • CHARACTER groups containing a model that has lost one or more wounds must be earlier in the allocation order than CHARACTER groups containing no wounded models.
3. Make Save Rolls: The opposing player makes one save roll for each attack that wounded the target by rolling one D6.

• That model has the INFANTRY/BEASTS/SWARM keyword and is within a terrain area.
• That model is not fully visible to the attacking model due to one or more intervening terrain features and/or one or more intervening obscuring terrain areas (see below).

• If that roll succeeds, that unit does not become battle-shocked.
• If that roll fails, that unit, and each model in it, is battle-shocked.

• The Objective Control (OC) characteristic of all of its models is modified to ‘-’ (02.02).
• Its controlling player cannot target that unit with stratagems (15).
• It is not eligible to start an action (16), and any action it has started cannot be completed.

Bitter minds hold on to lasting grudges.

These Renegades ally their knowledge of the Codex Astartes with their own unrestrained savagery to horrific effect.

• Until the end of the turn, this unit is eligible to shoot and declare a charge in a turn in which it Fell Back.
• Until the end of the turn, this unit is eligible to declare a charge in a turn in which it Advanced.

• If that unit has one or more models that does not have its full wounds remaining, select one of those models; that model regains one lost wound.
• If all models in that unit have their starting number of wounds, but one or more models from that unit are currently destroyed, revive one of those destroyed models (excluding CHARACTER models), with one wound remaining.

• KHORNE: Each time a model in this unit makes a melee attack, an unmodified Hit roll of 5+ scores a Critical Hit.
• TZEENTCH: Each time a model in this unit makes a ranged attack, an unmodified Hit roll of 5+ scores a Critical Hit.
• CHAOS UNDIVIDED: Each time a model in this unit makes an attack, re-roll a Hit roll of 1.

• NURGLE: Each time a model in this unit makes a ranged attack, an unmodified Hit roll of 5+ scores a Critical Hit.
• SLAANESH: Each time a model in this unit makes a melee attack, an unmodified Hit roll of 5+ scores a Critical Hit.
• CHAOS UNDIVIDED: Each time a model in this unit makes an attack, re-roll a Hit roll of 1.

• You cannot select the KHORNE keyword for a PSYKER unit.
• A Character unit can only be attached to a unit if both units share the same keyword from the list above.
• A unit can only embark within (or start the battle embarked within) a TRANSPORT if both of those units share the same keyword from the list above.

With vox-augmented screams or bedecked in grisly trophies, these nightmarish raiders possess a terrifying presence. Even the most stoic of opponents can be shaken by their sadistic cruelty. Once fear has its hooks into them, they become easier prey.

Many Renegades eschew the gifts of Dark Gods, relying only upon their own prowess.

Some Heretic Astartes warbands are piratical by nature, launching swift attacks focused upon destroying their foes in a storm of bloody violence, seizing territory and spoils of war before the enemy can bring reinforcements to bear.

Bedecked in the flayed skins and leering skulls of former victims, their armour flecked with blood and gore, these reavers descend in a howling gale of enraged screams and soul-piercing shrieks. To look upon their ghastly visages is to feel a terrible and paralysing fear.

The cybersorcerous power of Vashtorr’s boons is much in evidence amongst his worshippers. Nowhere is this more true than in the war engines that his cults take into battle, and which exhibit a nightmarish variety of biomechanoid mutations and daemon-spawned powers. Whether wreathed in balefire, shimmeringly insubstantial or constantly regrowing battle-damaged hull plating, these accursed war machines are incredibly hard to destroy.

The most indefatigable of Heretic Astartes warbands possess a grim determination that matches the resilience of their superhuman physiques and formidable ceramite armour. They go to war amidst formations of daemonic war machines and growling vehicles. Some even embrace the worship of the Dark Gods, trading their souls for supernatural protection.

Many are the daemons who have forged pacts with Vashtorr the Arkifane. Once bound into such a contract, a soul debt must be paid, one that the daemon strives endlessly, and with all its desperation, to fulfil.

• Each time a model in that unit makes a ranged attack, add 1 to the Wound roll.
• Add 2 to the Attacks characteristic of melee weapons equipped by models in that unit.
