Space Marines – Eradicator Squad with Melta Rifles

• Place a well-defined boundary (such as a base or mat) in each location you want to furnish with terrain, then place one or more terrain features wholly within that boundary.
• Place one terrain feature directly on the battlefield.
• Place two or more terrain features directly on the battlefield in such a way that together they define the boundary of an area.

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.

The Space Marines draw upon the combat doctrines of the Codex Astartes as they flow through each phase of battle: first hammering the enemy with devastating firepower, then raking them with close-ranged volleys while manoeuvring to deliver a final, crushing assault.

ASSAULT DOCTRINE

DEVASTATOR DOCTRINE

TACTICAL DOCTRINE

• You can only select each combat doctrine once per battle.
• Only one combat doctrine can be active for each unit. If a rule makes a combat doctrine active for a unit, any combat doctrine previously active for that unit is no longer active for that unit.

• 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.

• 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).

• That model has the INFANTRY/BEASTS/SWARM keyword and is within a terrain area that contains one or more light/dense terrain features.
• That model’s unit did not make one or more ranged attacks during this turn or during the previous turn.

• 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 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.

• 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.

These Space Marines are experts in fighting from rapidly prepared defensive positions. They are able to maximise the potential of almost any terrain to serve as an ad-hoc strongpoint, rapidly assessing optimal firing lines and punishing the foe’s every attempt to advance and dislodge them.

• While a friendly ADEPTUS ASTARTES unit is within a terrain area, that unit’s attacks can re-roll wound rolls of 1.
• Friendly ADEPTUS ASTARTES units are entrenched while all of the following apply:
  
  • That unit is within a terrain area.
  • That unit was not set up this turn.
  • No model in that unit moved more than 3" this turn.

• Friendly DARNATH LYSANDER/TOR GARADON units have the following ability:
