Introduction
The following rules and deck will enable you and other players to fight for the fate of Armageddon! Get ready to fight over unique locations with new missions, earning glory for your alliance and upgrades for your characters, all in this new format.
Briefing Cards
These frame the narrative for each Alliance across the three campaign phases, listing the Agendas players can attempt depending on their Force Disposition and that of their opponent (for more information’ on Force Dispositions, see the Chapter Approved mission pack). At the bottom of each is a range of Outcomes, depending on how many Narrative Points you have gained (the card itself will inform you how these are earned).Location Cards
These represent strategically important zones on the planet Armageddon. Each one features a location bonus; if an Alliance takes control of a location, all players in that Alliance gain its location bonus for the remainder of the campaign. On the reverse of each are war zone rules that apply to every battle fought during the same campaign phase.Agenda Cards
Agendas represent goals that you can attempt to achieve during each battle in a campaign phase. Each Alliance has a unique set of 9 Agendas: 3 for each campaign phase.On one side of an Agenda card there will be a narrative description of the goal you are attempting, and a list of conditions that, if met, result in that player gaining Agenda Achieved cards. On the reverse is a Primary Mission, which tells you how to gain VP in the battle.
Agenda Achieved Cards
When a player gains an Agenda Achieved card, they take one corresponding to their Alliance. These do not have any effect until the end of a campaign phase. A player cannot have more than 3 Agenda Achieved cards at any one time.Upgrade Cards
Upgrade cards are acquired as the campaign unfolds. They represent special abilities that can improve the martial power of your warriors, and come in 3 types:- Battle Skill Cards: Earned at the end of a battle.
- Battle Honour Cards: Earned at the end of a battle by the victor. There are 5 of these cards that can be earned during the first campaign phase, 5 that can be earned during the second campaign phase, and 1 that can be earned during the third campaign phase.
- Relic Cards: The most powerful type of upgrade and the hardest to earn, unlocked by gaining Agenda Achieved cards. There are 5 unique Relic cards for each Alliance.
Some Upgrade cards list a bonus effect that applies when the upgrade is given to a particular type of model; such effects are always in addition to the normal effects listed on the card.
A player keeps all the Upgrade cards they gain, but they cannot have a duplicate of an Upgrade card.
An Armageddon campaign is split into 3 phases, each of which consists of a number of battles.
During each phase, the players will vie for control of a strategic location, before moving onto the next phase.
Taking control of the final location is key to achieving victory, but it is only part of the challenge. Each player also has a set of Agendas they must achieve during the campaign.
Only commanders who can achieve military success while accomplishing these vital goals will achieve everlasting glory on Armageddon.
Warmaster
Dominatus is best run with a Warmaster. They will take on the organisation of the campaign so that the other players can focus on playing games. A Warmaster can play in the campaign, but their primary role is to facilitate a smooth and enjoyable experience for all players involved. If such a heroic individual has not already volunteered themselves, the players can instead agree to take up the tasks of a Warmaster between themselves.Preparing the Campaign
Before the campaign begins, the Warmaster should share a Battle Schedule with all players, informing them of the number of games each will play, and the army sizes they will need to muster.Below is a default Battle Schedule designed to be played comfortably over the course of a weekend for players who can all muster a Strike Force sized army.
| |||||||||||||||
The Warmaster will need to group all of the players into Alliances.
A campaign must have an Oppressors Alliance and a Liberators Alliance. It can optionally have a Raiders Alliance as well. Alliances should be organised as evenly as possible, and based on the different factions players are using if possible. Players should play the same faction throughout the campaign.
Guidelines on organising players into Alliances are given on the next page. Note that these are not requirements; if it suits the group better to organise Alliances differently, the Warmaster should do so.
LIBERATORS
OPPRESSORS
RAIDERS
Once players have been grouped into Alliances, it is time for the struggle for Armageddon to begin!
Start the Campaign
Players start the first campaign phase, using the sequence below. After completing phases 1 and 2, start the next campaign phase and repeat this sequence. At the end of phase 3, the campaign ends.1
Start Campaign Phase
At the start of each campaign phase, before any battles are fought, the Warmaster must:- Roll one D6 to randomly select one of that phase’s Location cards.
- Players read their Alliance’s Briefing card for this phase.
- Players gather their Alliance’s Agenda cards for this phase.
2
Play Battles
Players from opposing Alliances now battle each other. The Warmaster can leave players to arrange games themselves. Alternatively, they can organise days and times to help everyone play an equal number of games. In campaigns with a large number of players, each Alliance can be broken down into smaller subgroups that are then matched against each other to make arranging games simpler.In order to playa battle, the players generate a mission from any Chapter Approved mission deck. Warmasters may wish to curate this, but otherwise players should follow the instructions in their mission deck.
In any case, the mission sequence is supplemented with the rules below.
In the Determine Mission Step:
In any case, the mission sequence is supplemented with the rules below.
In the Determine Mission Step:
- Read aloud all war zone rules for that phase from your Location card - these apply to the upcoming battle.
- If both players wish to attempt Agendas in the battle (if not, see Declining Agendas below), do not use the Primary Missions in your mission deck. Instead, after revealing Force Disposition cards, the players use their Alliance’s current Briefing card and use the chart on it to compare their selected Force Disposition with that of their opponent. This combination will result in a specific Agenda card, which will state the Primary Mission to use in this battle.
DECLINING AGENDAS
If one or both players decline to attempt Agendas in a battle, determine Primary Missions as described in your mission deck, but only the player(s) that declined to attempt Agendas can score VP from that Primary Mission. A player that opted to attempt an Agenda cannot score VP from that Primary Mission and instead they use the Primary Mission on their Agenda card.
In the Declare Battle Formations Step:
- Each player can select up to 3 Upgrade cards they have earned during the campaign, and give each of those Upgrade cards to a different friendly unit until the end of the battle (a unit cannot have more than one Upgrade card).
In the Determine Victor Step:
- Each player that opted to attempt an Agenda in the battle checks the conditions listed on their Agenda card. If these are met, that player takes the number of Agenda Achieved cards listed.
- During Campaign Phases 1 and 2: The victor randomly draws 1 Battle Honour card from that phase’s deck, and their opponent randomly draws 1 Battle Skill card. If the battle is a draw, both players randomly draw 1 Battle Skill card.
- If a player gained 1 or more Agenda Achieved cards from the battle, they randomly draw 1 additional card of the same type at the same time. Each player then selects 1 of the drawn cards to keep, and returns the others to their respective decks.
- During Campaign Phase 3: The victor gains the phase 3 Battle Honour card, Path to Conquest, and players prepare for a final climactic battle!
3
End of Campaign Phase
At the end of each phase, each Alliance adds up the total number of Battle Honour cards gained from that phase and the number of Agenda Achieved cards its players have. Then, before starting a new phase or ending the campaign, resolve the following:I) Take Control
The Alliance with the most Battle Honour cards gained during this campaign phase takes control of the current location. If a location bonus defines additional effects when an Alliance takes control, resolve these now.- In the Event of a Tie: Tied Alliances use the total number of Battle Honours gained over the course of the entire campaign as a tie-breaker. If there is still a tie, the Warmaster should decide how best to resolve it.
II) Determine Ascendancy
The Alliance with the most Agenda Achieved cards is in ascendancy. This will help to determine the narrative Outcome of that phase (see below).- In the Event of a Tie: All tied Alliances are in ascendancy.
III) Acquire Relics
At the end of campaign phases 1 and 2, each player takes their Alliance’s Relic cards deck and randomly draws a number of cards equal to the number of Agenda Achieved cards that player has. That player selects 1 of those Relic cards to keep and returns the others to the deck.IV) Update Narrative Outcome
The players read their Alliance’s Outcome for that phase (these are on the reverse of their Briefing card). The Outcome depends on the number of Narrative Points your Alliance has earned this phase, as described on that card.V) Discard
Players discard all Agenda Achieved cards they have from previous phases.4
End Campaign
Once the Outcomes of campaign phase 3 have been read, the campaign ends.MODIFYING DOMINATUS
The rules presented here offer players a quick and simple campaign experience that can be replayed multiple times. The Warmaster can modify any of these rules to better suit the needs of their gaming group.
For example, while Dominatus is designed to be played over the course of a weekend, a Warmaster could use this deck to run a longer campaign. This can be achieved by increasing the number of battles in a phase, remembering that phase 3 should consist of a single climatic final mission. It is also perfectly acceptable for the Warmaster to vary the size-limit of players’ armies as your campaign evolves, perhaps starting off with smaller battle sizes in earlier campaign phases, and growing in subsequent phases.
Warmasters are free to change or introduce new rules to better fit their own narrative, perhaps allowing players to swap factions mid-campaign, or even change Alliance as new pacts are forged and traitors discovered. Such rules can bring new dimensions to your campaigns, but Warmasters should remember that their role is to ensure everyone taking part has an enjoyable experience.

LIBERATORS’ BRIEFING: PHASE 1
Our fleet has established orbit around Armageddon and the time to liberate the war-torn world is nigh. The first wave of our forces must make planetfall without delay, securing landing zones and establishing beachheads so that the follow-up waves can deploy to the planet's surface intact.

Gain 1 Narrative Point if your Alliance has control of this phase’s Location, and gain 1 Narrative Point if your Alliance is in ascendancy.
2NARRATIVE POINTS
Your forces have fallen upon Armageddon like a thunderbolt. Hurling the enemy back in disarray, you have swept clear a broad beachhead and heavily reinforced it, leaving you in the strongest possible position to proceed with the liberation of Armageddon.
1NARRATIVE POINT
You have successfully carved out a beachhead on the surface of Armageddon, albeit at a bloody cost. As fresh waves of warriors and war machines are ferried down from orbit, the war of liberation must begin in earnest.
0NARRATIVE POINTS
The initial planetstrike has failed almost completely. You have established a handful of tenuous beachheads, but at a terrible cost and with little hope of holding them. The liberation of Armageddon now teeters upon the brink of disaster.
LIBERATORS’ BRIEFING: PHASE 2
The first stage of the liberation has been completed. Now we must maintain the pressure. Beyond preventing the enemy from retaking our landing zones, we need fresh supplies and intelligence from survivors still in hiding along the line of our advance. The war of liberation will only get harder from here on in.

Gain 1 Narrative Point if your Alliance has control of this phase’s Location, and gain 1 Narrative Point if your Alliance is in ascendancy.
2NARRATIVE POINTS
Victory follows victory as your armies storm across the surface of Armageddon. You have torn down some of your foes’ mightiest strongholds, amassed stockpiles of materiel, and now stand primed for the last grand push. You have only to maintain your momentum and final liberation will be at hand!
1NARRATIVE POINT
Your armies advance steadily and relentlessly, despite your foes’ attempts to halt their progress or sever your supply lines. A number of key strategic sites across the planet are now in your hands. Meanwhile, your enemies continue to retreat, albeit often in good order. Victory lies tantalisingly just beyond the horizon.
0NARRATIVE POINTS
Progress has stalled. Despite your best efforts, your advances have been blunted, supplies are running low and your landing zones remain under threat. It will now take some truly heroic efforts to prevent your attempted liberation from becoming a disastrous massacre.
LIBERATORS’ BRIEFING: PHASE 3
The final battle is upon us. We have this one chance to liberate Armageddon and raise our banners high over its reconquered hive spires. To do this, we will have to annihilate the foe's command structure, bring down their mightiest war engines, and break their spirit entirely, or else know the ignominy of defeat.

2NARRATIVE POINTS
Your armies have swept across Armageddon and liberated much of its surface. It is only unfortunate that - with key strategic objectives left unmet - you were unable to drive the enemy from this world entirely. It is likely many years of bloody fighting still lie ahead as a result.
1NARRATIVE POINT
Your final push has failed, leaving your tattered forces in possession of a few desperate holdouts surrounded by foes. However, having achieved key strategic victories you have at least paved the way for reinforcements to reinvigorate your liberation effort in the days to come.
0NARRATIVE POINTS
Your defeat has been total. The last bloodied survivors of your once proud host flee back to the stars, leaving countless dead in their wake. Armageddon has truly fallen.
3
Your victory on Armageddon is complete. Not only have you liberated the world itself, but you have also destroyed your foes so completely that they will not threaten this world again for years to come. Congratulations on a mighty triumph.
OPPRESSORS’ BRIEFING: PHASE 1
Armageddon is ours. Our armies have conquered its hives and dug in across its ashen wastes, and we will not yield to these invaders from the stars. Throw the enemy back into the void wherever you can, and scorch the land where you cannot. Make the foe regret the day they ever came to Armageddon.

Gain 1 Narrative Point if your Alliance has control of this phase’s Location, and gain 1 Narrative Point if your Alliance is in ascendancy.
2NARRATIVE POINTS
Through a combination of stubborn determination and sheer ferocity, you have repelled almost all the invaders’ landing forces. Your banners still fly over the strongholds you swore you would defend, and what enemies have made it onto Armageddon are scattered and hunted remnants.
1NARRATIVE POINT
The enemy press forward on multiple fronts, but you have held them at bay and made them pay for their efforts in blood. If you can keep them pinned within their beachheads long enough to muster a counterattack, you may yet drive them from Armageddon altogether.
0NARRATIVE POINTS
Your efforts to hold the invaders back have been almost wholly in vain. Driven like cattle, abandoning burning wrecks and fallen fortifications in your wake, you have been routed on every front. You will have to rally your scattered forces and fight back twice as hard to regain the advantage now.
OPPRESSORS’ BRIEFING: PHASE 2
The enemy continue their assault, seeking to surround our forces and push us back to the primary hives. We need to slow their advance. We will do this by punching holes in their advancing battle lines, severing their routes of supply and – where we must – destroying caches before the foe capture them.

2NARRATIVE POINTS
Your warriors have fought back with a ferocity and cunning that does them credit. You have starved your foes of supplies, winnowed their ranks, and are now in a commanding position. It is time to land the killing blow.
1NARRATIVE POINT
Through a mixture of sudden raids, localised counteroffensives and calculated acts of sabotage you have bled the enemy and slowed their advance. Behind the lines your own reserves are massing. Soon, when your preparations are complete, there will be a reckoning.
0NARRATIVE POINTS
Disaster follows disaster as your efforts to slow the enemy advance come to naught. With your own forces now in danger of being overrun or encircled by the well-supplied and numerous foe, all you can do is fall back to the final defensive positions. There you must prepare to weather the storm that is about to break.
OPPRESSORS’ BRIEFING: PHASE 3
The war for this world has been long and bloody, but we have an opportunity to launch a counteroffensive that will shatter the enemy entirely. With our greatest warlords leading from the front and our warriors prepared to do whatever it takes to win the war, we will reclaim Armageddon once and for all.

After a successful counteroffensive, you drove the enemy into retreat and continue to harry them on every front. They were able to prevent your forces from achieving complete strategic supremacy, however, and so the war for Armageddon will grind on.
1NARRATIVE POINT
Your counterattack failed, leaving many of your warriors to be overrun and destroyed. You were at least able to claim some victories, enough to cover your retreat into hiding, but for now victory is beyond your grasp.
0NARRATIVE POINTS
You have been decisively and completely defeated. Those of your warriors not heaped amongst the slain are fleeing without hope or purpose. The war for Armageddon is lost.
3
After a triumph so decisive, there can be no doubt of your victory on this world. Those who came to seize it from you have been destroyed, while your own hold on the planet has only grown stronger than ever before.
RAIDERS’ BRIEFING: PHASE 1
The conflict on Armageddon offers us a unique opportunity to complete our goals without our enemies' awareness. First however we need to make contact with our assets on the surface to gather intelligence while inserting forces behind enemy lines, ready to launch targeted strikes when the hour is nigh.

2NARRATIVE POINTS
Distracted as they are by their ongoing war, the enemy have proven easy for you to circumnavigate or destroy piecemeal. Your forces are now in the best possible position to capitalise on this conflict for their own gain.
1NARRATIVE POINT
Though the effort has been perilous and - in places - costly, your forces have completed enough covert actions to set up the next stage of the plan. Well informed and ready to strike, your warriors await only the word to launch their next attacks.
0NARRATIVE POINTS
Subtlety, it appears, is not your strong suit. Your hosts have either been detected by the enemy and driven into swift retreat, or simply caught up and slaughtered amidst the wider conflict. The situation can still be salvaged, but it will require cunning, quick action and a lot of costly bloodshed.
RAIDERS’ BRIEFING: PHASE 2
Our forces are in position but time is running short. With fighting escalating, there will never be a better time than now to strike. Move swiftly and with purpose.

2NARRATIVE POINTS
Guile, good fortune and merciless brutality have seen you achieve all of your goals in this phase of the war. Your enemies have been powerless to stop you, none having lived long enough to raise the alarm, and you are ready and well positioned to make good your escape.
1NARRATIVE POINT
In a series of swift raids and brutal covert actions, you have seized vital assets that will benefit you greatly. Of course, with your forces deeply embedded in a raging war zone, there is still the question of safe extraction to consider.
0NARRATIVE POINTS
You fought as hard as you could, but your warriors have squandered this opportunity. Assets have been lost to the foe, while your efforts at misdirection or manipulation have come to naught. It will be a struggle now to gain anything meaningful from this conflict.
RAIDERS’ BRIEFING: PHASE 3
Our time on Armageddon is coming to an end. Delay too long and one side or the other will gain supremacy long enough to turn their full attention upon our forces.

Although you were not able to seize all the assets you might have wished to on Armageddon, there is no denying your triumph. You leave this world a conqueror, with many slain foes and cunning victories in your wake.
1NARRATIVE POINT
To the casual observer, you have suffered a decisive defeat upon this world. Yet some of your deeds may still bear fruit in the years to come, and your enemies may come to rue your hidden victories.
0NARRATIVE POINTS
Cut off and trapped by enemies closing in upon all sides, any hope you had of escape or success is gone. Armageddon will surely be your doom.
3
Those who fought to defend or to conquer Armageddon may believe themselves the victors, but in truth you have eclipsed them all. You emerge from this war greatly empowered, and with strategic advantages it may take your enemies years to grasp the full and terrible implications of.

Each time a unit suffers one or more mortal wounds, its controlling player must resolve the following sequence for each of those mortal wounds, until either all of them have been inflicted or that unit is destroyed:- 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. - Resolve Damage: The selected model loses 1 wound. If this reduces that model’s remaining wounds to 0, it is destroyed.
MORTAL WOUNDS AND NORMAL DAMAGE
When resolving attack dice, if those attacks inflict a mixture of both mortal wounds and normal damage, resolve all of the normal damage first, then resolve all of the mortal wounds.

FAQ
| Q: | I have a rule that triggers when a mortal wound is allocated to a model, when does this happen? |
| A: | When you select a model in the Select Model step of Mortal Wounds (06.02). |
06.03 Hazard Rolls
To make a hazard roll for a unit, roll one D6: on a 1-2, that roll fails and that unit suffers 1 mortal wound, or 3 mortal wounds instead if each model in that unit is a MONSTER/VEHICLE model. If more than one hazard roll is required for a unit, make all of those rolls simultaneously.
FAQ
| Q: | I failed hazard rolls from [Hazardous] weapons, do those mortal wounds have to be allocated to the models with the [HAZARDOUS] weapons? |
| A: | No, you allocate the mortal wounds to the unit as per Mortal Wounds (06.02). (This represents Bob the guardsmen picking up his fallen squad mates plasma gun or that the twisting power of James the Chaos Sorcerer pulling his followers into the warp.) |
| Q: | If a rule says my unit must make a hazard roll does every model in the unit make a hazard roll? |
| A: | No, the unit would make 1 single hazard roll. |
01.07.01 Battlefield Morale
The morale and organisation of troops can waver and break during battle. This is checked using battle-shock rolls, most commonly in the Command phase. Failing such a roll represents the unit’s courage faltering due to taking casualties or through other disruption, reducing its battlefield effectiveness. Similarly, some rules will require you to check a unit’s readiness by making a leadership roll.
01.07 Battle-shock Rolls
To make a battle-shock roll for a unit, its controlling player makes a leadership roll for it (see above).- 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.
While a unit 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.

BATTLEFIELD MORALE
The morale and organisation of troops can waver and break during battle. This is checked using battle-shock rolls, most commonly in the Command phase. Failing such a roll represents the unit’s courage faltering due to taking casualties or through other disruption, reducing its battlefield effectiveness. Similarly, some rules will require you to check a unit’s readiness by making a leadership roll.FAQ
| Q: | If a unit has a rule that allows it to start an action when it is battle-shocked can it also continue doing that action if it becomes battle-shocked after starting an action? |
| A: | Yes |
| Q: | If a unit becomes battle-shocked after starting an action does it stop performing that action? |
| A: | Yes |
[LETHAL HITS]24.23
Many deadly weapons can inflict fatal injuries on any foe, no matter their resilience.
Each time an attack made with a [LETHAL HITS] weapon results in a critical hit, you can choose for that attack to automatically wound the target.Designer’s Note: Choosing to automatically wound the target means that no wound roll is made for that attack. You may decide against this, as it means that attack cannot result in a critical wound and so cannot trigger other abilities such as [DEVASTATING WOUNDS].
06.01 Visibility
Line of sight is used to determine visibility between models. For an observing model to have line of sight, it must be possible to draw an imaginary straight line, 1 mm wide, from any part of that model to any part of the model being observed. This line is the line of sight. While doing so, other models in the observing model’s unit and in the observed model’s unit are ignored.Other models and units can be either visible or fully visible to the observing model, as shown below. Note that terrain applies additional rules to visibility (13.07).
Model Visible
If any part of another model is visible to the observing model, that model is visible.
Model Fully Visible
If every part of another model that is facing the observing model is visible to the observing model (so the only thing blocking visibility to any part of that other model is that model itself), that model is fully visible.
Unit Visible
If one or more models in a unit are visible to the observing model, that unit is visible.
Unit Fully Visible
If every model in a unit is fully visible to the observing model, that unit is fully visible. When determining this, the observing model can see through other models in that unit.
FAQ
| Q: | When checking line of sight from one model to another, is this drawn between the bases of those models, or between any part of them? |
| A: | Line of sight is drawn from any part of the observing model to any part of the model being observed. |
SNAP SHOOTING15.09
ELIGIBLE IF: As stated in the rule allowing this shooting type.
EFFECT: Your unit shoots as described in Making Attacks (04).
WHILE SHOOTING:
EFFECT: Your unit shoots as described in Making Attacks (04).
WHILE SHOOTING:
- You can only target one visible enemy unit within 24" of your unit (and only if it is an eligible target).
- Each attack only hits on an unmodified hit roll of 6 (irrespective of the attacking weapon’s BS characteristic or any modifiers).
- You cannot re-roll hit rolls.
Hit Roll
Make one hit roll for each attack dice by rolling one D6. For each result, check if it fails or is a hit by matching the first condition below that applies:
|
CRITICAL HITS
Critical hits are still hits. In addition, other rules can be triggered by a critical hit, such as [LETHAL HITS] (24).FAQ
| Q: | My attack has a rule that means it results in a critical hit on a hit roll of 4+. Does this work when snap shooting? |
| A: | Unless otherwise stated, no: when snap shooting, each attack only hits on a roll of 6. |
| Q: | My attack has a rule that means it results in a critical hit on a hit roll of 4+, and I would otherwise need a 5+ to hit. Does a 4+ hit? |
| A: | Yes, except when snap shooting: when snap shooting, each attack only hits on a roll of 6. |
[DEVASTATING WOUNDS]24.10
The most potent weapons strike with such power that they make a mockery of armour and can cleave through several foes.
Each time an attack made with a [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] weapon results in a critical wound, the attack sequence for that attack ends and the target unit suffers a number of mortal wounds equal to the D characteristic of that weapon. These are inflicted after resolving any normal damage inflicted by those attacks.Mortal wounds inflicted by [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] weapons can damage a maximum of one model for each critical wound; any remaining mortal wounds inflicted by that attack are lost.
Example: An attack made with a [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] weapon with a D characteristic of 3 results in a critical wound against an Intercessor Squad, so inflicts 3 mortal wounds. The first 2 mortal wounds are sufficient to destroy 1 Intercessor model, so the remaining mortal wound is lost.
05.02.01 Multiple Toughness Characteristics
When resolving attacks that target a unit in which the models have two or more different T characteristics, follow the first instruction that applies from below:- 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.
Wound Roll
Make one wound roll for each hit by rolling one D6. For each result, check if it fails or is a wound by matching the first condition below that applies:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
CRITICAL WOUNDS
Critical wounds are still wounds. In addition, other rules can be triggered by a critical wound, such as [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] (24).SEE ALSO

05.04.04 Destroyed
Throughout a battle, models will suffer damage, lose wounds and be destroyed. When every model in a unit has been destroyed, that unit is destroyed.When a model is destroyed, first resolve any rules that are triggered when it is destroyed, then it is removed from the battlefield. If any such rules apply, and if the model was destroyed as the result of an attack, unless otherwise stated, those rules are only resolved and that model is only removed after the attacking unit’s attacks have been resolved. Unless otherwise stated, destroyed models and units cannot use abilities or be selected or targeted by rules.
Some rules only trigger if an enemy model or unit was destroyed by you, or by a model or unit from your army. This means that the enemy model or unit was destroyed by an attack made by a model from your army, or by a player rule you have. Enemy models or units that are destroyed by any other means are not destroyed by you, or by a model or unit from your army.

13.01 Placing Terrain
Before the battle, place a selection of terrain features on the battlefield using one or more of the following methods:- 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.
In each case, the area of the battlefield occupied by that boundary or terrain feature is known as a terrain area. A mission’s deployment map may define the location and dimensions of each terrain area. Otherwise, players must agree on this before the battle.
FAQ
| Q: | Are models that are within the boundary of a terrain area, but not on the ground floor of a terrain area (e.g. overhanging parts of FRAME VEHICLES or models on terrain features that are within that terrain area) within that terrain area? |
| A: | Yes |
01.04.05 Table Quarters
When a rule refers to a table quarter, or table quarters, divide the battlefield with imaginary lines 1mm thick drawn lengthwise and widthwise through the centre of the battlefield to create four equal rectangles. These rectangles are the table quarters.
01.02.01 Starting Strength and Half-Strength
The number of models a unit contains at the start of the first battle round is its starting strength. The starting strength of an attached unit is the number of models that unit contains at the start of the first battle round.Some rules refer to units being below starting strength, or at – or below – half-strength. The meaning of these terms varies depending on a unit’s starting strength, as shown below.
|
Example: A Captain (1 model) is attached to a unit of Intercessors (5 models). This attached unit has a starting strength of 6. If three Intercessors were destroyed, the unit would be at half-strength. If four Intercessors were destroyed, the unit would be below half-strength. If all of the Intercessors were destroyed, the remaining Captain would be below half-strength, despite having his full wounds remaining.
SOME UNITS CANNOT BE AT HALF-STRENGTH
If a model’s W characteristic or a unit’s starting strength cannot be evenly divided in half, that model or unit cannot be at half-strength (but can be below half-strength as described above).13.11 Solid
Dense terrain features have the Solid rule. Line of sight cannot be drawn across any enclosed gap in the surface of such a terrain feature that is 3" or less from ground level.Designer’s Note: This rule ensures that models are not visible while sheltering in ground-level terrain, irrespective of small openings such as doors, windows or bullet holes, or because of small gaps between adjacent terrain features. 3" is the height of the first floor of many terrain features, but some missions may adjust the height at which this rule takes effect.
03.04 Engagement
A model’s engagement range is the area of the battlefield within 2" horizontally and 5" vertically of it.
- While a friendly model is within engagement range of one or more enemy models, those models – and the units they belong to – are engaged with each other.
- While a unit contains no engaged models, that unit is unengaged.
WHAT IS ENGAGEMENT?
While opposing models are within each other’s engagement range, they are able to fight in vicious melee, so unless they are seeking to make melee attacks, models should keep out of their foes’ reach.
ENGAGEMENT
These two units have at least one model within 2" of the opposing unit, and are therefore engaged with each other.
FAQ
| Q: | Does my model or unit become engaged while moving through a enemy units engagement range during a move? |
| A: | No |
ADVANCE MOVE09.06
MAXIMUM DISTANCE: Advance roll + your unit’s M characteristic.
ELIGIBLE IF: Your unit is on the battlefield and unengaged.EFFECT: Your unit moves as described in Moving (03).
BEFORE MOVING: Make an advance roll by rolling one D6.
AFTER MOVING:
- Your unit must be unengaged.
- Until the end of the turn, unless otherwise stated, your unit is not eligible to declare a charge or start an action.
NORMAL MOVE09.05
MAXIMUM DISTANCE: Your unit’s M characteristic.
ELIGIBLE IF: Your unit is on the battlefield and unengaged.EFFECT: Your unit moves as described in Moving (03).
AFTER MOVING: Your unit must be unengaged.
13.08 Benefit of Cover
Each time a ranged attack targets a unit, if every model in that unit meets one or more of the following conditions, that unit has the benefit of cover against that attack:- 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).
Each time a ranged attack targets a unit that has the benefit of cover against it, worsen the BS characteristic of that attack by 1.
FAQ
| Q: | When my unit shoots at another unit, how does it work if some models in the target unit are fully visible to some models in my unit, while others are within a terrain area/not fully visible? |
| A: | For each attacking model in your unit, determine whether the target unit has the benefit of cover, as described in Terrain and Visibility. In this scenario, the target unit will likely have the benefit of cover against some of the attacking models, but not all. This means that, in an example unit where all attacking models are using the same weapon, when you get to the Resolve Attacks step of the Attack Sequence, you will collect dice for attacks made by models against which the target unit has the benefit of cover separately from the dice for attacks made by models against which the target unit does not have the benefit of cover. |
Moving a Model in a Straight Line
Each time you move a model in a straight line, move it horizontally across the battlefield. Measure from the same point on its base at the start and end of that move, and add that distance to any other distance it has moved since its unit began that move. The distance moved cannot be greater than the maximum distance of that move type.
Rotating a Model
Each time you rotate a model, turn it any amount around the centre of its base, while keeping it upright. Note that rotating a model does not count towards the distance it has moved.
REMAIN STATIONARY09.04
MAXIMUM DISTANCE: ‘–’
ELIGIBLE IF: Any unit.EFFECT: No models are moved (either in straight lines or rotated). Units that remain stationary do not trigger any rules that are triggered when a unit starts or ends a move.
INDIRECT SHOOTING10.07
ELIGIBLE IF: All of the following apply to your unit:
WHILE SHOOTING:
- Unengaged and did not make an advance move this turn.
- Has one or more [INDIRECT FIRE] weapons.
WHILE SHOOTING:
- [INDIRECT FIRE] weapons in your unit can target units that are not visible to the attacking model.
- Each time an [INDIRECT FIRE] weapon makes an attack:
- The target has the benefit of cover against that attack (13.08).
- You cannot re-roll hit rolls.
- An unmodified hit roll of 1-5 fails, unless your unit remained stationary this turn and the target is visible to one or more friendly units, in which case an unmodified hit roll of 1-3 fails instead.
INDIRECT FIRE
When you select indirect shooting for a unit, its [INDIRECT FIRE] weapons can launch punishing barrages on targets that are not visible, but don’t forget that its other weapons can still target other visible targets.[INDIRECT FIRE]24.19
Indirect fire weapons launch munitions over or around intervening obstacles – nowhere is safe from their fury.
Units containing one or more models with an [INDIRECT FIRE] weapon can shoot using indirect shooting (10.07).UNSTOPPABLE FORCE

- One group for each CHARACTER model.
- One group for all other models with the same W, Sv and InSv characteristics.
- 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.
- Make Save Rolls: The opposing player makes one save roll for each attack that wounded the target by rolling one D6.
FAQ
| Q: | When declaring the allocation order of groups in my unit I have more than one non-CHARACTER groups that contain a model with a missing wound, how must I select the order? |
| A: | Those groups can be selected in an order of your choosing but must be in an order that makes them come before any non-CHARACTER groups that do not contain a model with a missing wound. |
| Q: | I have a unit being attacked with weapons that will modify some of their save rolls to be worse then 6 should I make those save rolls? |
| A: | Yes, because other models in your unit may have Sv’s that are better those models you’ve mentioned, this means that enough save rolls could be allocated to the those models that the rest of the results are not greater then the Sv’s of the other models in your unit. |
| Q: | Can I group or allocate a wound to a destroyed model? |
| A: | No. |
05.04.01 Current Allocation Group
The first group in the allocation order begins as the current group. Once all models in an allocation group are destroyed, the next group in the allocation order becomes the current one.
[PRECISION]24.28
Precision attacks can pick high-value targets out in a crowd.
While resolving attacks made with one or more [PRECISION] weapons, at the start of the Allocation Order step (05.03), if the target unit contains one or more CHARACTER models visible to one or more of the attacking models, the active player can select one allocation group that contains one of those visible CHARACTER models. If they do, until those attacks are resolved, or until that CHARACTER group is destroyed (whichever happens first), that CHARACTER group is the current allocation group.EPIC CHALLENGE15.03
1CP
Core Stratagem
The legends of the 41st millennium are replete with deadly duels between mighty champions.
WHEN: Fight phase, just after a friendly CHARACTER unit is selected to fight.
TARGET: That CHARACTER unit.
EFFECT: Select one CHARACTER model in your unit. Until the end of the phase, that model’s melee weapons have the [PRECISION] ability.
TARGET: That CHARACTER unit.
EFFECT: Select one CHARACTER model in your unit. Until the end of the phase, that model’s melee weapons have the [PRECISION] ability.
STEALTH24.33
The stealthiest warriors can evade the attentions, and the bullets, of their foes.
If every model in a unit has this ability, each time a ranged attack targets that unit, that unit has the benefit of cover against that attack (13.08).01.06 Leadership Rolls
To make a leadership roll for a unit, its controlling player rolls 2D6: if the result is equal to or greater than one or more of the Ld characteristics in that unit, that roll succeeds. Otherwise, that roll fails. The rule that instructed you to make that leadership roll will describe the effects of that roll succeeding or failing.
ASSAULT SHOOTING10.05
ELIGIBLE IF: All of the following apply to your unit:
WHILE SHOOTING: You can only select [ASSAULT] weapons to make attacks with.
AFTER SHOOTING: Until the end of the phase, your unit is not eligible to start an action.
- Unengaged and made an advance move this turn.
- Has one or more [ASSAULT] weapons.
WHILE SHOOTING: You can only select [ASSAULT] weapons to make attacks with.
AFTER SHOOTING: Until the end of the phase, your unit is not eligible to start an action.
[ASSAULT]24.04
Folding stocks, shortened barrels or lightweight construction enable some weapons to be easily fired on the move.
Units containing one or more models with an [ASSAULT] weapon can shoot using assault shooting (10.05).[HEAVY]24.16
Heavy weapons are amongst the biggest guns on the battlefield, but require bracing to fire at full effect.
In your Shooting phase, each time an attack is made with a [HEAVY] weapon, add 1 to the hit roll if all of the following apply to the attacking unit:- That unit is unengaged.
- That unit was not set up on the battlefield this turn.
- No model in that unit has moved more than 3" this turn.
[BLAST]24.05
High-explosive rounds can fell several warriors in a single blast, but firing them too close to comrades is unwise.
Each time you gather attack dice for a [BLAST] weapon, add one additional attack dice for every five models that were in the target unit in the Select Targets step (rounding down).If this ability takes the form [BLAST X], each time you gather attack dice for such a weapon, add X additional attack dice for every five models that were in the target unit in the Select Targets step (rounding down) instead.
Example: If a [BLAST 2] weapon with an A characteristic of 3 targets a unit containing 12 models, you would gather four additional attack dice for that weapon (for a total of seven for that weapon).
[SUSTAINED HITS]24.36
Some weapons possess a punishing rate of fire, or can land devastating flurries of blows, tearing the foe apart with relentless ferocity.
This ability always takes the form [SUSTAINED HITS X]. Each time an attack made with a [SUSTAINED HITS] weapon results in a critical hit, that attack results in a number of additional hits on the target as denoted by X.Example: An attack made with a [SUSTAINED HITS 2] weapon results in a critical hit. That attack therefore hits the target three times (once from the critical hit, and twice more from the [SUSTAINED HITS 2] ability).
[CLEAVE]24.06
With sufficient might or skill, warriors may sweep blades or talons through their foes in long lethal arcs.
This ability always takes the form [CLEAVE X]. Each time you gather attack dice for a [CLEAVE] weapon, if you only selected one target for all of that weapon’s attacks, add X additional attack dice for every five models that were in the target unit in the Select Targets step (rounding down).Example: If a [CLEAVE 1] weapon with an A characteristic of 3 targets one unit containing 16 models, you would gather three additional attack dice for that weapon (for a total of six for that weapon).
[IGNORES COVER]24.18
Some weapons are designed to root enemy formations out of entrenched positions.
Each time an attack is made with an [IGNORES COVER] weapon, the target cannot have the benefit of cover against that attack (13.08), including from rules that give a model or unit the benefit of cover (e.g. Stealth).SCOUTS24.31
Scouts form the vanguard of many armies. Unnoticed by the enemy, they range ahead of the main force.
This ability always takes the form Scouts X". In the Resolve Pre-battle Abilities step, if every model in a unit has this ability, you can do one of the following:- If that unit is in strategic reserves, you can set up that unit anywhere that is wholly within your deployment zone.
- If that unit is wholly within your deployment zone, it can make a scout move (see below).
- If that unit is embarked within a DEDICATED TRANSPORT that is wholly within your deployment zone, and if every model embarked within that DEDICATED TRANSPORT has the Scouts ability, that DEDICATED TRANSPORT can make a scout move.
SCOUT MOVE24.32
MAXIMUM DISTANCE: The X" in Scouts X".
ELIGIBLE IF: It is the Resolve Pre-battle Abilities step, and your unit is wholly within your deployment zone.EFFECT: Your unit moves as described in Moving (03).
AFTER MOVING: Your unit must be more than 8" horizontally from all enemy units.
FEEL NO PAIN24.12
The hardiest warriors refuse to be laid low, even by wounds that should by all rights prove lethal.
This ability always takes the form Feel No Pain X+. Each time a model with this ability would lose a wound, roll one D6: on an X+, that wound is not lost.01.05.01 Automatically Successful/Passes/Hits/Wounds
When a dice roll or test is automatically successful or automatically passes/hits/wounds, do not roll the dice and instead move to the next step of the sequence for that roll as if the required result had been rolled. Any rules that take effect on a particular dice result or roll result do not take effect.Example: If a hit roll is automatically successful, move straight to the Wound Rolls step for that attack. Such a hit roll is not a critical hit.
Example: If a wound roll is automatically successful, move straight to the Save Rolls step for that attack. Such a wound roll is not a critical wound.
[HAZARDOUS]24.15
Weapons powered by unstable and dangerous energy sources pose a substantial risk to the wielder and those that stand beside them.
Each time a unit is selected to shoot or selected to fight, after that unit has resolved all of its attacks, make a number of hazard rolls (06.03) for that unit equal to the number of [HAZARDOUS] weapons you selected in the Select Weapons step.01.04.03 As Close As Possible
- 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.
22.01 Aura Abilities
Abilities that affect models or units within a stated range are aura abilities, and are tagged with the word ‘Aura’.While a model with an aura ability is on the battlefield, it is always within range of its own aura ability.
A unit can be affected by more than one aura ability at a time, but if a unit is within range of the same aura ability more than once, that aura ability only applies to that unit once.
INFILTRATORS24.20
Many armies employ reconnaissance units who can sit concealed, waiting for the right moment to strike.
During deployment, if every model in a unit has this ability, it can be set up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 8" horizontally from your opponent’s deployment zone and all enemy units.
