FAQ
| Q: | The Plunder Secondary Mission references ‘One unit within a terrain area that is not within your territory.’ Is the requirement to be ‘not within your territory’ referring to the unit or the terrain area? |
| A: | The terrain area. |
| Q: | If the unit I select to be my Beacon unit upon drawing the Beacon Secondary Mission is destroyed prior to achieving the mission, can I select a new Beacon unit? |
| A: | No, which means you will be unable to achieve that mission. We recommend discarding it on your turn to gain 1CP! |
| Q: | For the purposes of VP scoring limits, is the end of the battle the same timing as the end of the fifth battle round? |
| A: | No, VP scored at the end of the battle are not subject to the 15VP per battle round scoring limit. |
| Q: | When a mission action places an operation marker and applies a status (e.g. ‘decoyed’), does removing that operation marker also remove that status? |
| A: | Yes. |
| Q: | Some Primary Mission cards let a player place operation markers on the battlefield. Can I remove these? |
| A: | Your Primary Mission card will specify how and when you can remove operation markers from the battlefield. If it doesn’t, you cannot remove operation markers. |
| Q: | For the Death Trap Primary Mission, one objective reads ‘One or more enemy units that started the turn within a terrain area were destroyed, if that terrain area is trapped.’ Does that terrain area have to have been trapped at the point that enemy unit was destroyed? |
| A: | No. |
| Q: | For the Surveil the Foe Primary Mission, one objective reads ‘One or more enemy units were surveilled this turn, unless each of those units is within range of one or more objectives that have one or more operation markers within range of them.’ For an enemy unit within range of an objective with an operation marker, can I achieve this objective if I remove the operation marker after surveilling that unit, as long as it is within the same turn? |
| A: | Yes. |
| Q: | For the Vital Link Primary Mission, if there is more than one central objective, can I score the cumulative VP for my operation markers regardless of which central objective(s) they are within? |
| A: | Yes, as long as you control the objective(s) those operation markers are within. |
Chapter Approved Battles
Chapter Approved battles give you and an opponent a way to play exciting, thematic and balanced games of Warhammer 40,000. In these battles, you will clash to earn Victory Points (VP) by accomplishing a variety of goals. Whichever player gains the most VP wins the battle.A Chapter Approved battle is waged by following the sequence below.
1
Muster Armies
Muster armies as described in the Core Rules.2
Determine Mission
Each player secretly chooses one Force Disposition card available to them (as determined when mustering armies), then together you reveal your chosen Force Disposition cards.Find your opponent’s Force Disposition symbol on your Force Disposition card.The Primary Mission that is listed below that symbol is your Primary Mission, which describes howto score VP.
Designer’s Note: If you both have the same Force Disposition cord,you will have the same Primary Mission. There are two copies of each of these cards, so thatyou can have one.
3
Determine Deployment
Shuffle the Deployment cards face-down and draw one. This describes where to place terrain objectives and where you can deploy your armies.Optional Step: Twist
If both players want to play with an additional rule that can dramatically alter the battle, choose one Twist card. Both players must agree on which Twist card to use.
4
Create The Battlefield
Missions are played on rectangular battlefields 44" by 60" in size.We recommend using the suggested battlefield layouts in the Warhammer 40,000 app. These layouts were designed for Chapter Approved battles.
If you wish to create your own layout, use the following instructions.
Roll one D6. On a 1-5, use the single central objective point as shown at the centre of the Deployment card. On a 6, instead use two central objective points: locate these 6" either side of the single central objective point, along the dashed line used to separate the players’ territories.
Roll off, then take turns placing terrain features, starting with the winner.
- For each objective point, set up one terrain feature so that it covers that point on the battlefield. A terrain feature set up in this way is a terrain objective.
- Then set up any remaining terrain features.
5
Determine Attacker and Defender
Players look at the Deployment card drawn and agree which edges of your battlefield correspond with the Attacker’s and Defender’s battlefield edges labelled on the card.Roll off: the winner decides who will be the Attacker and who will be the Defender.
6
Select Secondary Missions
Secondary Mission cards detail additional ways to score VP. There is a deck for the Attacker and a deck for the Defender: the cards in each deck are identical.Designer’s Note: If you or your opponent are new to Warhammer 40,000, you can play without Secondary Missions for a simpler experience while you’re starting out.
Players now secretly note down whether they will use Tactical or Fixed Secondary Missions. If using Fixed Missions, they also note down which two Fixed Missions they will use (see below). Players then reveal these decisions.
Fixed Secondary Missions
Fixed Missions are those marked with the symbol shown on the left. If you are using Fixed Missions, display your selected Fixed Mission cards face-up. Fixed Missions cannot be discarded and are active for you throughout the battle.
Tactical Secondary Missions
If you are using Tactical Missions, shuffle your Secondary Mission deck face-down.
- At the start of your Command phase, draw two Secondary Missions face-up from your Secondary Missions deck; these Secondary Missions are active for you.
- (Once per battle) At the end of your Command phase, you can spend 1CP to discard one of your active Secondary Mission cards and draw one new Secondary Mission card.
Achieving Secondary Missions
At the end of each player’s turn, each player does the following, starting with the player whose turn it is:
- First, if you met the conditions on one or more Secondary Missions, you can gain the VP specified on that card. If you do, and if you are using Tactical Secondary Missions, discard that Secondary Mission - it is achieved.
- Then, if it is your turn and you are using Tactical Secondary Missions, you can discard one or more of your active Secondary Missions. If you do, you gain 1CP.
7
Declare Battle Formations
Players secretly note down, in order:- Which of their units will start the battle embarked within which TRANSPORTS.
- Which of their units will start the battle in strategic reserves.
8
Deploy Armies
Players take it in turns to set up their units (excluding those in strategic reserves) one at a time, wholly within their deployment zone, starting with the Defender. If you set up a TITANIC unit when it is your turn to set up a unit, skip your next turn to set up a unit. Once you have finished setting up your units, if your opponent has any units that have not been set up, they set up those units.9
Redeploy Units
Some rules let you redeploy certain units after both armies are deployed. Unless otherwise stated, you resolve those rules in this step. Players alternate resolving any such rules, starting with the Attacker. Units placed in strategic reserves in this step do not count towards the combined points value of your strategic reserves units.10
Determine First Turn
Roll off: the winner takes the first turn.11
Resolve Pre-battle Rules
Players alternate resolving any pre-battle rules units from their army may have, starting with the player who will take the first turn.Deployment Card Key
The Attacker sets up their units wholly within this area.
The Defender sets up their units wholly within this area.
The region of the battlefield that is not within either player’s deployment zone.
The half of the battlefield that includes the Attacker’s deployment zone.
The half of the battlefield that includes the Defender’s deployment zone.

Mission Generator
The mission generator presented here will generate a game for you using the rules described in the mission sequence above.
To use the mission generator, first choose a Force Disposition for each player (this comes from the detachments on their army roster). By default each player’s Primary Mission is taken from that pair of Force Dispositions. You can instead pick any Primary Mission for each player from the dropdown — the same as in the GW app, even if that mission does not match the chosen Force Dispositions. Then choose how to set up the battlefield: Custom (Deployment card) draws a Deployment card and you place terrain on that map as in the mission sequence, or Recommended layout (GW App) shows one of the three layouts (A, B or C) for your pair of Force Dispositions. Press ‘Start New Game’: this draws a Deployment card if you chose Custom, or picks a layout if Recommended is set to Random. If you checked ‘Show Twist card’ and Twist is set to Random, a Twist card is also drawn; otherwise leave Twist as None, or select a Twist both players agree on. Note that ‘Start New Game’ and changing Force Disposition, Primary Mission, battlefield, Deployment, layout or Twist also reset both players’ Secondary Mission decks.
If the Twist is MIRRORED WORLD, choose one of the five listed Primary Missions or roll a D6 (re-roll a 6) — both players use that Primary Mission. If the Twist is SCRAMBLED COMMUNICATIONS, press Swap to exchange the two Primary Mission cards.
Next, choose whether you want to use Tactical or Fixed Secondary Missions using the slider. If you select Fixed, the cards available to you will appear below, and you can use the ‘Pick’ (
) and ‘Reject’ (
) buttons to select two cards. Once you have your selection, click ‘Confirm’ to begin the game. Fixed Missions cannot be discarded.
During the battle, if you use Tactical Missions, at the start of each Command phase use the ‘Draw’ button twice to draw two Secondary Mission cards face-up; these remain active alongside any you still hold from earlier turns. Use the ‘Discard’ (To use the mission generator, first choose a Force Disposition for each player (this comes from the detachments on their army roster).

) button when a card is achieved. At the end of your turn you may discard one or more active cards to gain 1CP. Once per battle, at the end of your Command phase, press ‘1CP’, then the Discard & Draw button (
) on a card to discard that Secondary Mission and draw a replacement from your deck. The same button also appears on some cards whose When Drawn rule lets you discard that card and draw a new one without spending CP. In the few cases where a When Drawn rule sends a card back to the deck, a ‘Reshuffle’ button (
) will appear. If you press this instead of the ‘Discard’ button, the card will still be available to draw later in the game.Note that:
- If you accidentally close the browser or refresh the page your progress will be safe. It is saved on your device in the browser’s local storage.
- If you change Force Disposition, Primary Mission, Twist, Deployment or the recommended layout, the generator will see it as a new game and reset the Secondary Mission decks, losing all progress on your current game.
- It is not recommended to use this generator on multiple tabs of the same browser on the same device. Doing so is pointless and has a high chance of breaking the Mission Generator.

NOWHERE TO HIDE
Twist
This battlefield only affords the illusion of cover – nowhere is safe.
Terrain features do not have the Solid rule.
Designer’s Note: This twist lets models draw line of sight through any gap in a terrain feature, allowing more ‘true line of sight’ and more lethal shooting.
MIRRORED WORLD
Twist
As destinies converge, rival warlords find themselves on parallel paths, competing with one another to achieve near-identical outcomes and objectives.
The players both replace their Primary Mission card with the same one of the following Primary Mission cards. If both players agree on one of them, use that Primary Mission card; otherwise, roll a D6 and consult the table below.
PRIMARY MISSION
Battlefield Dominance
Meatgrinder
Outmanoeuvre
Gather Intel
Sabotage
(Roll again)
Designer’s Note: This is a great twist for players who want to play a simpler battle of Warhammer 40,000, as both players will be trying to achieve the same Primary Mission.
SCRAMBLED COMMUNICATIONS
Twist
Scrambled communications and intertwined vox-channels have disrupted the chain of command, leaving your orders and objectives unclear.
The players exchange their Primary Mission cards.
Designer’s Note: This is a great twist to shake things up in a regular match-up, or for players who love to embrace chaos!
MARTIAL PRIDE
Twist
The rank and file of your armies are determined to demonstrate their value, advancing relentlessly toward their assigned objectives whilst maintaining a punishing rate of fire.
A BATTLELINE unit can start an action in a turn in which it made an advance move. A BATTLELINE unit can shoot in a turn in which it started an action.
Designer’s Note: This is a great twist for Incursion battles.
RUINSCAPE
Twist
Decades of war have reduced the structures on this battlefield to hollow ruins. Your warriors stalk and scramble through the skeletal remnants of half-destroyed buildings as they close in upon their enemies.
When a unit makes a normal or advance move, models in that unit have the MOBILE keyword until that move ends.
Designer’s Note: For players who want to play with a lot of terrain and/or with many large models, this twist can help keep the battle flowing.
NIGHT FIGHTING
Twist
A shroud of darkness has fallen across the battlefield, obscuring the vision of your warriors and providing them with cover beneath which to advance.
Each unit is not visible to enemy models unless they are within 18" of that unit, and each unit cannot be targeted by [INDIRECT FIRE] weapons unless the attacking model is within 18" of that unit.
Designer’s Note: This is a great twist for players who do not yet have a battlefield’s worth of terrain.
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? |

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.

COMPLETES: Immediately.
EFFECT: That terrain area is trapped: place one of your operation markers within that terrain area.
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. |

01.05.05 Roll Off
Some rules instruct players to roll off.- To do so, both players roll one D6, and whoever rolls highest wins the roll-off.
- If there is a tie for the highest roll, roll off again.
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? |

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. |

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].
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:

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).INESCAPABLE DOMINION
