Keywords
Throughout this section you will come across the <ORDO> keyword. When you include such a unit in your army, you must nominate which Ordo it is from and then replace the <ORDO> keyword in every instance on its datasheet with the name of your chosen Ordo. The Ordos available are ORDO HERETICUS, ORDO MALLEUS, ORDO XENOS and ORDO MINORIS.
For example, if you include an ACOLYTES unit in your army and decide they are from the Ordo Hereticus, their <ORDO> keyword becomes ORDO HERETICUS and the first sentence of their Loyal Servant ability reads, ‘When a friendly ORDO HERETICUS INQUISITOR model within 3" of this unit would lose any wounds as a result of an attack made against that model, this unit can attempt to intercept that attack.’
For example, if you include an ACOLYTES unit in your army and decide they are from the Ordo Hereticus, their <ORDO> keyword becomes ORDO HERETICUS and the first sentence of their Loyal Servant ability reads, ‘When a friendly ORDO HERETICUS INQUISITOR model within 3" of this unit would lose any wounds as a result of an attack made against that model, this unit can attempt to intercept that attack.’
Abilities
A unit’s datasheet will list all the abilities it has. Certain abilities that are common to many units are only referenced on the datasheets rather than described in full. These abilities are described below.
Agent of the Imperium
If your army is Battle-forged, you can include one AGENT OF THE IMPERIUM unit in each IMPERIUM (excluding FALLEN units) Patrol, Boarding Patrol, Battalion, Brigade and Arks of Omen Detachment in your army without those units taking up Battlefield Role slots in those Detachments. The inclusion of an AGENT OF THE IMPERIUM unit does not prevent other units from their Detachment benefiting from Detachment abilities (e.g. Chapter Tactics), and it does not prevent other units from your army benefiting from abilities that require every model in your army to have that ability (e.g. Combat Doctrines). An AGENT OF THE IMPERIUM unit included in a Patrol, Boarding Patrol, Battalion, Brigade or Arks of Omen Detachment in this manner is ignored for any rules that state all units from that Detachment must have at least one Faction keyword in common (e.g. in a matched play game), and when determining your Army Faction.An AGENT OF THE IMPERIUM unit can never be included in a BROOD BROTHERS Detachment.
Independent Operative
Units with the OFFICIO ASSASSINORUM keyword gain the abilities below:- This unit can never have a Warlord Trait.
- During deployment, you can set up this unit in concealment instead of placing it on the battlefield. If you do, then in the Reinforcements step of one of your Movement phases you can set up this unit anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models.
Authority of the Inquisition
INFANTRY units with this ability can embark within any IMPERIUM TRANSPORT model, even if that model normally only permits models with other Faction keywords to do so. All other restrictions apply normally (e.g. TERMINATOR models can only embark within TRANSPORTS that allow TERMINATOR models to do so).If your army is Battle-forged, no more than one INQUISITOR unit can be included in each INQUISITON Detachment (i.e. a Detachment that includes only INQUISITION units).
Unquestionable Wisdom (Aura)
While a friendly IMPERIUM unit is within 6" of this model, models in that unit can use this model’s Leadership characteristic instead of their own.Quarry
Units with the ORDO MALLEUS, ORDO HERETICUS, ORDO XENOS or ORDO MINORIS keyword gain the relevant ability below:- ORDO MALLEUS: When resolving an attack made by a model in this unit that targets a CHAOS or DAEMON unit, you can re-roll the hit roll and you can re-roll the wound roll.
- ORDO HERETICUS: When resolving an attack made by a model in this unit that targets a CHAOS or PSYKER unit, you can re-roll the hit roll and you can re-roll the wound roll.
- ORDO XENOS: When resolving an attack made by a model in this unit that targets a unit that is not CHAOS, IMPERIUM or UNALIGNED unit, you can re-roll the hit roll and you can re-roll the wound roll.
- ORDO MINORIS: When resolving an attack made by a model in this unit that targets a CHARACTER unit, you can re-roll the hit roll and you can re-roll the wound roll.
Telethesia Discipline
Before the battle, generate the psychic powers for PSYKER models that know powers from the Telethesia discipline using the powers presented here. You can either roll one D6 on the table below to generate each power randomly (re-rolling duplicate results), or you can select which powers the psyker knows. If you are selecting powers, you can select from the Ordo-specific powers in the boxed sections below, but only if the PSYKER belongs to that Ordo.
| D6 | PSYCHIC POWER |
| 1 | TERRIFY Malediction: Terrify has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, select one enemy unit within 18" of and visible to this PSYKER. Until the start of your next Psychic phase:
|
| 2 | PSYCHIC FORTITUDE Blessing: Psychic Fortitude has a warp charge value of 4. If manifested, select one friendly IMPERIUM unit within 12" of this PSYKER. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, when a Morale test is taken for that unit, do not roll the dice; it is automatically passed. |
| 3 | DOMINATE Malediction: Dominate has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, select one enemy model (excluding VEHICLE models) within 12" of this PSYKER and roll 3D6. If the total is equal to or greater than that enemy model’s Leadership characteristic, that enemy model can immediately shoot with one weapon it is equipped with as if it were your Shooting phase, or make one attack as if it were the Fight phase. In either case, treat that enemy model as if it is a separate unit that is part of your army while shooting or making that melee attack. |
| 4 | MENTAL INTERROGATION Malediction: Mental Interrogation has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, select one enemy CHARACTER model within 12" of and visible to this PSYKER.
|
| 5 | PSYCHIC PURSUIT Blessing: Psychic Pursuit has a warp charge value of 7. If manifested, select one enemy CHARACTER unit that only contains models with a Wounds characteristic of 9 or less and is within 18" of and visible to this PSYKER. Then, select one friendly <ORDO> INFANTRY unit within 6" of this PSYKER. Until the end of your next Shooting phase, each time you select a target for a ranged weapon a model in that friendly <ORDO> INFANTRY unit is making an attack with, you can ignore the Look Out, Sir rule if you select that enemy CHARACTER unit as the target. |
| 6 | CASTIGATION Witchfire: Castigation has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, select one enemy unit within 18" of and visible to this PSYKER and roll 3D6: if the total exceeds the lowest Leadership characteristic in that enemy unit, that enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds. |
Ordo Hereticus: Scourging
The psyker fashions a lash from their foe’s own guilt and uses it to flay their writhing minds.
Malediction: Scourging has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, select one enemy unit within 12" of this PSYKER.- Until the start of your next Psychic phase, subtract 1 from the Attacks characteristic of models in that enemy unit (to a minimum of 1).
- Roll 2D6; if the total is equal to or greater than the highest Leadership characteristic in that enemy unit, then until the start of your next Psychic phase, when resolving an attack made by a model in that enemy unit, subtract 1 from the hit roll.
Ordo Xenos: Psychic Veil
The psyker conjures a glamour to shield their allies.
Blessing (Aura): Psychic Veil has a warp charge value of 5. If manifested, until the start of your next Psychic phase, friendly ORDO XENOS units within 6" of this PSYKER can only be selected as the target of attacks if they are the closest visible enemy unit, and can only be selected as the target of charges if they are within 6" of the charging unit.Ordo Malleus: Warding Incantation
The psyker chants a protective invocation, raising a wall of adjuratory empyric wards around their allies.
Blessing: Warding Incantation has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, select one friendly IMPERIUM INFANTRY or IMPERIUM BIKER unit within 12" of this PSYKER. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, models in that unit have a 5+ invulnerable save.
Boarding Actions
Welcome to Boarding Actions! Over the course of the Arks of Omen series we will be providing a range of adaptations and mustering rules for each faction in the game, as well as a suite of faction-specific bonuses exclusive to Boarding Action games. However, rather than waiting for all of the Arks of Omen books to be released, we have compiled every faction’s mustering rules right here, enabling all players to plan ahead with their army-building and play thrilling games of Boarding Actions straight away. Once more unto the breach!
- The Warhammer 40,000 Design Team
Mustering a Boarding Patrol
When mustering a Boarding Patrol, if your Faction is AGENTS OF THE IMPERIUM, then the following rules apply when adding units to your Boarding Patrol Detachment, and they take priority over the ‘mustering a Boarding Patrol’ rules.- All <ORDO> units in your Boarding Patrol must be from the same Ordo.
- If you include an INQUISITOR model:
- You can include INQUISITION units, even though they do not have the AGENTS OF THE IMPERIUM keyword.
- You can include up to 3 INQUISITION CHARACTER models, but only one of them can be an INQUISITOR model.
- ACOLYTE units can only be taken at a unit size of 5 models and are considered to have the Troops Battlefield Role.
- You can include an OFFICIO ASSASSINORUM model, regardless of how many other CHARACTER models your Boarding Patrol contains, but it cannot be your WARLORD.
- When mustering your Boarding Patrol, select one of the following: ACOLYTE units; NAVIS IMPERIALIS Troops units;
ADEPTUS ARBITESTroops units. The selected units from your army gain the Objective Secured ability. - When forming Boarding Squads, do not split VOIDSMEN-AT-ARMS units into separate units.
Rules Adaptations
If your Faction is AGENTS OF THE IMPERIUM, then the following rules adaptations apply.- DAEMONHOST models lose the Daemonic Power ability and instead add 1 to their Strength and Attacks characteristics.
- When you deploy an INQUISITION unit (excluding DAEMONHOST units) in an Entry Zone, you can deploy a friendly JOKAERO WEAPONSMITH unit in that Entry Zone as well.
- If your Boarding Patrol does not include any CHARACTER models (other than OFFICIO ASSASSINORUM models) but does include an
EXACTION SQUADunit, you can give an Enhancement to that unit’s Proctor-Exactant model as if it was a CHARACTER model. - OFFICIO ASSASSINORUM, JOKAERO WEAPONSMITH and DAEMONHOST models cannot be given Enhancements.
- OFFICIO ASSASSINORUM models with the Independent Operative and Polymorphine abilities lose those abilities for the battle and gain the following ability instead: ‘Infiltrating Assassin: Before the battle, in the Deploy Armies step, when setting up this model in an Entry Zone, you can set it up anywhere on the battlefield wholly within 6" of that Entry Zone.’

Combat Doctrines
When the Adeptus Astartes fight, they employ a set of combat doctrines to eliminate the enemy. After pounding the foe with heavy weapons, warriors advance to lay down a hail of bolter fire before charging forth with chainswords roaring to finish the foe.
If every unit from your army has the ADEPTUS ASTARTES keyword (excluding AGENT OF THE IMPERIUM and UNALIGNED units), this unit gains a bonus (see below) depending on which Combat Doctrine is active for your army. During the first battle round, the Devastator Doctrine is active for your army. From the second battle round onwards, at the start of the battle round, you can change which Combat Doctrine is active for your army, as follows:- If the Devastator Doctrine was active for your army during the previous battle round, you can change it so that the Tactical Doctrine is now active.
- If the Tactical Doctrine was active for your army during the previous battle round, you can change it so that the Assault Doctrine is now active.
Devastator Doctrine
The Codex Astartes explains in detail the strategic value of overwhelming firepower applied to key targets at the optimal time in order to eliminate threats and create tactical openings.
While this combat doctrine is active, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of every Heavy and Grenade weapon that models in this unit are equipped with by 1.Tactical Doctrine
As the warring armies close upon one another and vicious firefights erupt, the Codex lays out strategies for swiftly seizing the initiative and combining versatility with firepower.
While this combat doctrine is active, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of every Rapid Fire and Assault weapon that models in this unit are equipped with by 1.Assault Doctrine
The Codex Astartes leaves no doubt that the killing blow in most engagements must be delivered with a decisive close-quarters strike. It presents plentiful tactical means to achieve this end.
While this combat doctrine is active, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of every Pistol and Melee weapon that models in this unit are equipped with by 1.Army Faction
In a Battle-forged army, all of the units in your army - with the exception of those that are UNALIGNED — must have at least one Faction keyword in common (e.g. IMPERIUM or CHAOS) even if they are in different Detachments. If a unit does not have the correct Faction keyword, it cannot be included in your army.- Army Faction: All units in army must share at least one Faction keyword.
- UNALIGNED units are exempt.
The OFFICIO ASSASSINORUM keyword is used in the following Agents of the Imperium datasheets:
Warlord Traits
Warlord Trait is a bonus that your Warlord receives upon being nominated. Such Traits can be found in Codices, Supplements and another Games Workshop publications. Any Warlord can have the Inspiring Leader Warlord Trait. Normally, only one Warlord Trait can be given to the Warlord, but there are ways to bypass this restriction (e.g. by using Stratagems). You can choose a Warlord Trait randomly by rolling a dice, or simply pick one. Note, that named characters usually have predetermined Warlord Traits and receive them after being nominated as Warlord.

Hit Roll
When a model makes an attack, make one hit roll for that attack by rolling one D6. If the result of the hit roll is equal to or greater than the attacking model’s Ballistic Skill (BS) characteristic (if the attack is being made with a ranged weapon) or its Weapon Skill (WS) characteristic (if the attack is being made with a melee weapon), then that attack scores one hit against the target unit. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends.If an attack is made with a weapon that has an ability that says it ‘automatically hits the target’, no hit roll is made – that attack simply scores one hit on the target unit. An unmodified hit roll of 6 always scores a hit, and an unmodified hit roll of 1 always fails. A hit roll can never be modified by more than -1 or +1. This means that if, after all the cumulative modifiers to a hit roll have been calculated, the total modifier would be -2 or worse, it is changed to be -1. Similarly, if, after all the cumulative modifiers to a hit roll have been calculated, the total modifier would be +2 or better, it is changed to be +1.
Wound Roll
Each time an attack scores a hit against a target unit, make a wound roll for that attack by rolling one D6 to see if that attack successfully wounds the target. The result required is determined by comparing the attacking weapon’s Strength (S) characteristic with the target’s Toughness (T) characteristic, as shown on the following table:
| ||||||||||||||
If the result of the wound roll is less than the required number, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. An unmodified wound roll of 6 always successfully wounds the target, and an unmodified wound roll of 1 always fails. A wound roll can never be modified by more than -1 or +1. This means that if, after all the cumulative modifiers to a wound roll have been calculated, the total modifier would be -2 or worse, it is changed to be -1. Similarly, if, after all the cumulative modifiers to a wound roll have been calculated, the total modifier would be +2 or better, it is changed to be +1.
Characters
Some models have the CHARACTER keyword. These models can make Heroic Interventions in Charge Phase and are not easy targets in the Shooting Phase (see Look out, Sir, rule). If your Warlord has the CHARACTER keyword he may be able to have a Warlord Trait (see Warlord Trait section on model’s faction page).Note that CHARACTERS cannot use their Aura Abilities while performing actions.
The PSYKER keyword is used in the following Agents of the Imperium datasheets:
HQ
– if this model is declared as a Psyker it gains the PSYKER keyword.Psychic Tests
When a PSYKER unit attempts to manifest a psychic power, you must take a Psychic test for that unit by rolling 2D6. If the total is equal to or greater than that power’s warp charge value, the Psychic test is passed. If you roll a double 1 or a double 6 when taking a Psychic test, that unit immediately suffers Perils of the Warp.- Psychic test: Passed if 2D6 equals or exceeds psychic power’s warp charge.
- If double 1 or double 6 rolled, PSYKER suffers Perils of the Warp.
Manifesting Psychic Powers
When you select a PSYKER unit to manifest psychic powers, you select one psychic power that unit knows and attempt to manifest it. With the exception of Smite, you cannot attempt to manifest the same psychic power more than once in the same battle round, even with different PSYKER units. The same PSYKER unit cannot attempt to manifest Smite more than once during the same battle round.To manifest the psychic power, you must first pass a Psychic test. The opposing player can then select one of their PSYKER units that is within 24" of the PSYKER unit attempting to manifest the power and attempt to deny that power before its effects are resolved by passing a Deny the Witch test.
So long as the Psychic test was successful and the psychic power was not denied by a successful Deny the Witch test, the psychic power is successfully manifested and its effects, which will be described in the power itself, are then resolved. If the PSYKER unit can attempt to manifest more than one psychic power in its Psychic phase, you can then attempt to manifest those, one at a time, as described above. The number of psychic powers each PSYKER unit can attempt to manifest in its Psychic phase is listed on its datasheet.
- Select psychic power.
- You cannot select the same psychic power more than once per battle round, unless that power is Smite.
- Attempt to manifest the psychic power by taking a Psychic test.
- The opponent can attempt to deny the psychic power by taking a Deny the Witch test.
- If successfully manifested, resolve the psychic power’s effects.
- Select another psychic power.
Overwatch
Certain rules enable units to fire Overwatch at an enemy unit before it can charge. If an enemy unit declares a charge that targets one or more units from your army that have such a rule, each of those units can fire Overwatch before the charge roll is made. A unit cannot fire Overwatch if there are any enemy units within Engagement Range of it. Overwatch is resolved like a normal shooting attack (albeit one resolved in the Charge phase) and uses all the normal rules, except that an unmodified hit roll of 6 is always required for a successful hit roll, irrespective of the firing model’s Ballistic Skill or any hit roll modifiers. In addition, when a model fires Overwatch, it does so at the charging unit. Any rule that states the unit cannot be targeted unless it is the closest target (e.g. Look Out, Sir) does not apply when firing Overwatch.- Overwatch: Before charge roll made, all charge targets that can fire Overwatch can do so.
- Can never fire Overwatch while enemy units are in Engagement Range.
- When firing Overwatch, shoot with unit, but attacks only hit on unmodified 6s.
Morale Tests
To take a Morale test, roll one D6 and add the number of models from the unit that have been destroyed this turn. If the result is equal to or less than the highest Leadership (Ld) characteristic in the unit, the Morale test is passed and nothing else happens. An unmodified roll of 1 also always results in a passed Morale test, irrespective of the total result. In any other case, the Morale test is failed, one model flees that unit, and you must then take Combat Attrition tests for the remaining models in the unit. You decide which model from your unit flees – that model is removed from play and counts as having been destroyed, but it never triggers any rules that are used when a model is destroyed.- Morale test = D6 + number of models destroyed this turn.
- Unmodified roll of 1 always a success (no models flee).
- If Morale test exceeds unit’s Ld, one model flees and other models must take Combat Attrition tests.
Command Points
The starting number of CPs each player starts with for Battle-forging their army depends on the size of the battle you are playing. This is usually defined in the mission pack that is being played, but if one is not presented in the mission pack, use the following table. Note that the total Power Level is based on the combined power of all the models used in the battle (so the combined Power Level of both your and your opponent's armies). If you are using a game that uses points values, then the points limit is the maximum points limit per side.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
- Starting number of Command points varies with battle size.
The <ORDO> and INFANTRY keywords are used in the following Agents of the Imperium datasheets:
HQ
Look out, Sir
Models cannot target a unit that contains any CHARACTER models with a Wounds characteristic of 9 or less with a ranged weapon while that CHARACTER unit is within 3" of any of the following:- A friendly unit that contains 1 or more VEHICLE or MONSTER models with a wounds characteristic of 10 or more.
- A friendly non-CHARACTER unit that contains 1 or more VEHICLE or MONSTER models.
- A friendly non-CHARACTER unit that contains 3 or more models.
- Cannot shoot at an enemy CHARACTER with 9 or less wounds while it is within 3" of a friendly unit that contains 1 MONSTER, 1 VEHICLE or 3+ other models (excluding CHARACTER models with 9 or less wounds) unless it is the closest target.
Mortal Wounds
Some attacks inflict mortal wounds – these are so powerful that no armour or force field can withstand their fury. Each mortal wound inflicts 1 point of damage on the target unit, and they are always applied one at a time. Do not make a wound roll or saving throw (including invulnerable saves) against a mortal wound – just allocate it as you would any other attack and inflict damage to a model in the target unit. Unlike damage inflicted by normal attacks, excess damage from mortal wounds is not lost. Instead, keep allocating damage to another model in the target unit until either all the damage has been allocated or the target unit is destroyed.If an attack inflicts mortal wounds in addition to the normal damage, resolve the normal damage first. If an attack inflicts mortal wounds in addition to the normal damage, but the normal damage is subsequently saved, the target unit still suffers the mortal wounds, as described before. If an ability modifies the damage inflicted by a weapon, and that weapon can inflict mortal wounds in addition to the normal damage, the modifier does not apply to any mortal wounds that are inflicted (unless the rule specifically states otherwise).
- Each mortal wound inflicted on a unit causes one model in the unit to lose one wound.
- No saving throws can be made against mortal wounds.
- Mortal wounds inflicted by attacks in addition to normal damage always apply, even if normal damage saved.
Saving Throw
The player commanding the target unit then makes one saving throw by rolling one D6 and modifying the roll by the Armour Penetration (AP) characteristic of the weapon that the attack was made with. For example, if the weapon has an AP of -1, then 1 is subtracted from the saving throw roll. If the result is equal to, or greater than, the Save (Sv) characteristic of the model the attack was allocated to, then the saving throw is successful and the attack sequence ends. If the result is less than the model’s Save characteristic, then the saving throw fails and the model suffers damage. An unmodified roll of 1 always fails.
Invulnerable Saves
Some models have an invulnerable save. Each time an attack is allocated to a model with an invulnerable save, you can choose to use either its normal Save (Sv) characteristic or its invulnerable save, but not both. If a model has more than one invulnerable save, it can only use one of them – choose which it will use. If you use a model’s invulnerable save, it is never modified by a weapon’s Armour Penetration value.- Invulnerable save: Saving throw that is never modified by attacking weapon’s AP.
- A model with an invulnerable save can use it instead of its normal Sv.
Factions
A unit's Faction is important when building a Battle-forged army, because most Detachments require all units included in them to be from the same Faction. Importantly, for an army to be Battle-forged it must have an Army Faction (see below).The Factions that a unit belongs to will be listed in the Faction keywords section of its datasheet.
- Faction: Described by Faction keywords on a unit's datasheet.
- If Detachment requires all units to be from the same Faction, they must all share at least one Faction Keyword.
For example: An Intercessor Squad has the IMPERIUM and ADEPTUS ASTARTES Faction keywords, so belongs to both the Imperium and Adeptus Astartes Factions. This means that if an Intercessor Squad was part of a Detachment that specified that all units in it must be from the same Faction, all other units in that Detachment must either be from the Imperium Faction, or they must all be from the Adeptus Astartes Faction.

- If this unit contains 1 ACOLYTE model at the start of the battle, it gains the CHARACTER keyword.The Warlord
While mustering your army, you can nominate one model (except a model with the FORTIFICATION keyword) to be your Warlord. That model gains the WARLORD keyword. If this model is a CHARACTER, you can also assign a Warlord Trait to it. Note, that more than one model in your army can have a Warlord Trait (e.g. by using Stratagems), but they are only considered your Warlord for the purpose of that trait.
The NAVIS IMPERIALIS keyword is used in the following Agents of the Imperium datasheets:
Objective Secured
Some units have an ability called Objective Secured. A player controls an objective marker if they have any models with this ability within range of that objective marker, even if there are more enemy models within range of that objective marker. If an enemy model within range of an objective marker also has this ability (or a similar ability), then the objective marker is controlled by the player who has the most models within range of that objective marker as normal.- Objective Secured: Player controls objective marker if any of their models in range have this ability.

Entry Zones
In Boarding Actions, each player will have one or more deployment zones called Entry Zones. Each time a unit from your Boarding Patrol is set up, it must be set up wholly within one of your Entry Zones. If a unit will not fit wholly within an Entry Zone, all of its models must be set up as close to the centre of that Entry Zone as possible.You cannot set up a unit within an Entry Zone if any other unit is in that Entry Zone. However, when setting up a unit at the start of the battle, you can set up your WARLORD alongside that unit as if it was a part of it, using the same Entry Zone. Rules that prevent a unit from being set up within a specific distance of another model or unit cannot prevent a unit from being set up within an Entry Zone.

Units with the OFFICIO ASSASSINORUM keyword gain the abilities below:- This unit can never have a Warlord Trait.
- During deployment, you can set up this unit in concealment instead of placing it on the battlefield. If you do, then in the Reinforcements step of one of your Movement phases you can set up this unit anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models.
Animus speculum used in the following datasheets:
ASSAULT
Assault weapons fire so rapidly or indiscriminately that they can be shot from the hip as warriors dash forwards into combat.If a unit includes any models equipped with Assault weapons, that unit is still eligible to shoot with in your Shooting phase even if it has Advanced this turn, but you can only resolve attacks using those Assault weapons when you select that unit to shoot with. If a model shoots an Assault weapon in the same turn in which its unit has Advanced, subtract 1 from hit rolls when resolving that weapon’s attacks.
- Can be shot even if firing model’s unit Advanced.
- Subtract 1 from hit rolls if the firing model’s unit Advanced.
Artificer bolt pistol used in the following datasheets:
PISTOL
Due to their compact size, pistols can even be used in melee to shoot at point-blank range.A model can make attacks with a Pistol even when its unit is within Engagement Range of enemy units, but it must target an enemy unit that is within Engagement Range of its own unit when it does so. In such circumstances, the model can target an enemy unit even if other friendly units are within Engagement Range of the same enemy unit.
When a model equipped with both a Pistol and another type of ranged weapon (e.g. a Pistol and a Rapid Fire weapon) shoots, it can either shoot with its Pistol(s) or with its other ranged weapons. Choose which it will fire (Pistols or non-Pistols) before selecting targets.
- Can be shot even if firing model’s unit is within Engagement Range of enemy unit.
- Cannot be shot alongside any other type of weapon.

Blast Weapons
Some weapons have ‘Blast’ listed in their profile’s abilities. These are referred to as Blast weapons. In addition to the normal rules, the following rules apply to Blast weapons:- If a Blast weapon targets a unit that has between 6 and 10 models, it always makes a minimum of 3 attacks. So if, when determining how many attacks are made with that weapon, the dice rolled results in less than 3 attacks being made, make 3 attacks instead. For example, if a Grenade D6 weapon with the Blast rule targets a unit that has 6 or more models, and you roll a 2 to determine how many attacks are made, that roll is counted as being a 3 and that weapon makes three attacks against that unit.
- When a Blast weapon targets a unit that has 11 or more models, do not roll dice to randomly determine how many attacks are made – instead, make the maximum possible number of attacks. For example, if a Grenade D6 weapon with the Blast rule targets a unit that has 11 or more models, that weapon makes six attacks against that unit.
- Blast Weapons: Minimum three attacks against units with 6+ models. Always make maximum number of attacks against units with 11+ models.
- Can never be used to attack units within the firing unit’s Engagement Range.

Select Weapon
When a model makes a close combat attack, it must do so using a melee weapon (i.e. a weapon that has the ‘Melee’ type). The weapons a model is equipped with are described on its datasheet. If a model is not equipped with any melee weapons, or if it cannot make an attack with any of the melee weapons it is equipped with, then that model makes its attacks using a close combat weapon, which has the following profile:
|
If a model has more than one melee weapon, select which it will use before resolving any attacks. If a model has more than one melee weapon and can make several attacks, it can split them between these weapons however you wish – declare which attacks are being made with which weapons before any attacks are resolved. If the selected weapon has more than one profile that you must choose between, you must declare which profile is being used at the same time. Different attacks made with such a weapon can be made using different profiles if you wish.
If your unit is making attacks with more than one melee weapon against a unit, and those weapons have different characteristics profiles, then after you have resolved an attack with one of those weapons you must, if any other weapons with the same characteristics profile are also being used to make attacks against that unit, resolve those attacks before resolving any attacks against the target with a weapon that has a different characteristics profile. Note that all the attacks you have declared are always resolved against the target unit even if, when you come to resolve an individual attack, no models in the target unit remain in range (this can happen because of models being destroyed and removed from the battlefield as the result of resolving other attacks made by the attacking model’s unit first).
- Each close combat attack is made with a melee weapon.
- A model makes attacks using the close combat weapon profile if it has no other melee weapons.
- If a unit attacks with multiple weapons, all attacks made with weapons that have the same profile must be resolved before resolving attacks with the next.
