• 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. 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.

Few can command the powers of the Warp with anything like the skill and control of the Grey Knights. So masterful is their sorcery that they can conjure glowing empyric gateways to step in and out of reality. In this way, they swiftly outflank their foes and redeploy their forces to counter threats, kept safe during their split-second Warp travel by the intricate wards worked into their wargear.

• Place those units in strategic reserves.
• Those units can make an ingress move in your next Movement phase (including in your first turn).

• 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.

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.

Purging corrupted nodes of Warp energy, the Grey Knights establish an ever-expanding area of hallowed ground within which their psychic powers and indomitable resolve are greatly enhanced.

• Your deployment zone is always within your army’s Hallowed Ground.
• The area of the battlefield within 6" of one or more PURIFIER SQUAD units from your army is within your army’s Hallowed Ground.
• At the start of any phase, if you control at least half of the objective markers within No Man’s Land, until the end of that phase, No Man’s Land is within your army’s Hallowed Ground.
• At the start of any phase, if you control at least half of the objective markers within your opponent’s deployment zone, until the end of that phase, your opponent’s deployment zone is within your army’s Hallowed Ground.

Erupting from whirling Warp gates with their Nemesis blades blazing, squads of Grey Knights cut a bloody path through their enemies before the foe even realise their peril.

Every Grey Knights Terminator is a tower of strength, a massively armoured living war engine clad in warded truesilver. Seeking to bar the path of such warriors, to entrap them or deny their will, is as futile a course of action as trying to halt an avalanche with bare hands alone.

So potent is the interwoven mind-choir of this strike force that each individual can syphon off a portion of its gestalt might to empower their weapons of war without diminishing the whole. The result is Nemesis force weapons that blaze like caged psychic stars, leaving trails of witchfire blazing behind every swing and blasting victims into nothing with a single strike.

• Melee weapons equipped by models in this unit with the [psychic] ability also have the [sustained hits 1] ability.
• Melee weapons equipped by models in this unit with the [psychic] ability also have the [LETHAL HITS] ability.

Combining the psychic disciplines of precognition and translocation, the Grey Knights rapidly relocate in response to strategic manoeuvres the foe has yet to make.

None can be allowed to reach an escape craft or get a distress call away - the purge must be swift and total. This knowledge lends the Grey Knights even greater urgency.

Employing ancient teleportation technologies, the Grey Knights are able to strike deep into enemy vessels or reposition with supernatural haste to defend vital sites on their own ships.
