Datasheet-related Stratagems

VETERANS OF THE LONG WAR2CP

Chaos Space Marines – Battle Tactic Stratagem

Veterans of centuries or millennia, the Long War’s most embittered warriors have learnt how best to focus their need for vengeance.

Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase or the Fight phase, when a TRAITORIS ASTARTES INFANTRY or TRAITORIS ASTARTES BIKER unit from your army is selected to shoot or fight. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, add 1 to that attack’s wound roll.

METHODICAL ANNIHILATION1CP

Iron Warriors – Battle Tactic Stratagem

With unceasing firepower do the Iron Warriors prevail.

Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when an IRON WARRIORS unit from your army is selected to shoot. Until the end of the phase:

When resolving that unit’s attacks, you can re-roll one damage roll.
Each time a model in that unit makes an attack with a weapon that has the Blast ability, for the purposes of determining how many attacks are made with that weapon, double the number of models in the target unit.
If that unit is a VEHICLE unit, it can make attacks with Blast weapons against units within Engagement Range; however, if it does so, each time it makes an attack with a Blast weapon this phase, on an unmodified hit roll of 1 that unit suffers 1 mortal wound after all of its attacks have been resolved.

COLD-HEARTED MALIGNITY1CP

Iron Warriors – Battle Tactic Stratagem

The Iron Warriors are numb to death and have little room left in their souls for emotion - they are driven only by bitterness and ruthless efficiency.

Use this Stratagem at the start of any phase. Select one IRON WARRIORS CORE unit from your army that is below Half-strength. Until the end of the battle:

That unit automatically passes Morale tests.
Each time a model in that unit makes an attack, add 1 to that attack’s hit roll.

DOUR DUTY2CP/1CP

Iron Warriors – Battle Tactic Stratagem

The Iron Warriors unflinchingly face their fate, drawing upon millennia of resolve to weather the most punishing of attacks.

Use this Stratagem in any phase, when an IRON WARRIORS CORE INFANTRY or IRON WARRIORS DAEMONKIN unit is selected as the target of an attack. Until the end of the phase, each time an attack is allocated to a HERETIC ASTARTES model in that unit, subtract 1 from the Damage characteristic of that attack (to a minimum of 1). If that unit has a Power Rating of 10 or more, this Stratagem costs 2CP; otherwise, it costs 1CP.

TANK DESTROYERS1CP

Iron Warriors – Battle Tactic Stratagem

No armour is safe from the guns of the IV Legion, and once an enemy war engine is marked for destruction, its doomed is sealed.

Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase or the Fight phase. Select one enemy VEHICLE unit. Until the end of the phase, each time an IRON WARRIORS HERETIC ASTARTES model makes an attack against that enemy unit, an unmodified hit roll of 6 automatically wounds the target.

BITTER ENMITY1CP

Iron Warriors – Battle Tactic Stratagem

The Legion’s contempt for the Imperial Fists runs deep, unleashed in a surge of violent atrocity whenever they clash with Dorn’s sons.

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when an IRON WARRIORS unit from your army is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, each time a HERETIC ASTARTES model in that unit makes a melee attack against an IMPERIAL FISTS unit, or against a unit that is a successor Chapter of the Imperial Fists, you can re-roll the hit roll and you can re-roll the wound roll.

WRATH OF THE CHOSEN1CP

Chaos Space Marines – Battle Tactic Stratagem

The merciless cruelty of a warband’s greatest warriors is both a deadly threat to their foes and a warning to potential rivals.

Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase or the Fight phase, when a TRAITORIS ASTARTES TERMINATOR or CHOSEN unit from your army is selected to shoot or fight. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, add 1 to that attack’s hit roll.

CRUEL BLADESMEN2CP

Emperor’s Children – Battle Tactic Stratagem

Fulgrim's scions are renowned for their bladecraft, toying with their inferiors while preparing an exquisite, penetrating thrust.

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when an EMPEROR’S CHILDREN unit from your army is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, each time a HERETIC ASTARTES model in that unit makes a melee attack, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.

HONOUR THE PRINCE1CP

Emperor’s Children – Battle Tactic Stratagem

Warriors who venerate Slaanesh through the most graceful fighting forms are rewarded in their endeavours.

Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase or your Charge phase, after selecting an EMPEROR’S CHILDREN CORE or EMPEROR’S CHILDREN DAEMONKIN unit to Advance or declare a charge.

If used in your Movement phase, do not make an Advance roll for that unit. Instead, until the end of the phase, add 6" to the Move characteristic of models in that unit.
If used in your Charge phase, do not roll 2D6 for that unit’s charge roll. Instead, until the end of the phase, roll D6+6 for that unit’s charge roll.

EXCESS OF VIOLENCE1CP

Emperor’s Children – Battle Tactic Stratagem

The visceral sensation of every fresh kill causes the warriors of the Emperor’s Children to enter an ecstatic frenzy of butchery and dismemberment.

Use this Stratagem in your Command phase, if your army is engaged in either Wanton Destruction or Wanton Massacre. Select one EMPEROR’S CHILDREN INFANTRY unit from your army. Until the start of your next Command phase, that unit is considered to be engaged in Wanton Slaughter instead.

MURDEROUS PERFECTION1CP

Chaos Space Marines (Slaanesh) – Battle Tactic Stratagem

The desire for perfection that drives Slaanesh’s warriors is such that their fighting skills far exceed those of more blinkered forces - an obsessive drive that leads to superior acts of martial precision.

Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase or the Fight phase, when a TRAITORIS ASTARTES SLAANESH unit from your army is selected to shoot or fight. Once during that phase, when resolving an attack made by a model in that unit, you can change the result of one hit roll, one wound roll or one damage roll to be a 6 (note that if a D3 is being rolled as part of that damage roll, that 6 is halved to a 3).

GRANDFATHER’S BLESSINGS1CP/2CP

Chaos Space Marines (Nurgle) – Battle Tactic Stratagem

Grandfather Nurgle bestows daemonic fecundity upon his faithful servants, sealing their gaping wounds with pulsating growths and replacing their spilt blood with curdling ichor.

Use this Stratagem in any phase, when a TRAITORIS ASTARTES NURGLE unit from your army is selected as the target of an attack. Until the end of the phase, each time an attack is made against that unit, an unmodified wound roll of 1-3 for that attack fails, irrespective of any abilities that the weapon or the model making the attack may have. If that unit contains 5 or fewer models, this Stratagem costs 1CP; otherwise, it costs 2CP.

FURY OF KHORNE1CP

Chaos Space Marines (Khorne) – Battle Tactic Stratagem

The bloodlust of Khorne’s followers is never sated, and is only heightened by the arterial sprays of their enemies’ gore.

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when a TRAITORIS ASTARTES KHORNE unit from your army is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes a melee attack, an unmodified hit roll of 6 automatically wounds the target.

SECURE THE PRIZE1CP

Red Corsairs – Battle Tactic Stratagem

Plunderers and trophy-takers, the Red Corsairs will not willingly abandon their prize when it is so close to hand.

Use this Stratagem in any phase, when a RED CORSAIRS CORE unit from your army in range of an objective marker is selected as the target of an attack. Until the end of the phase, each time an attack with a Damage characteristic of 1 is allocated to a model in that unit, add 1 to any armour saving throw made against that attack.

DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR!1CP

Chaos Space Marines – Battle Tactic Stratagem

The seething hatred that the Heretic Astartes harbour for the Corpse Emperor and his weakling, thin-blooded Space Marines is a weapon unto itself.

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when a TRAITORIS ASTARTES unit from your army is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, each time a HERETIC ASTARTES model in that unit makes a melee attack against an ADEPTUS ASTARTES or SANCTIC ASTARTES unit, you can re-roll the hit roll.

BRINGERS OF DESPAIR2CP

Black Legion – Battle Tactic Stratagem

The strongest and most vicious of Abaddon’s bodyguards are feared throughout the galaxy for their brutal acts of violence.

Use this Stratagem at the start of your opponent’s Fight phase. Select one BLACK LEGION CHAOS TERMINATOR SQUAD unit within 3" of one or more enemy units.

That unit is eligible to fight and fights first this phase.
Until the end of the phase, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of models in that unit.

TIP OF THE SPEAR2CP

Black Legion – Battle Tactic Stratagem

It is a great honour to be the first to slay the foe, and the Black Legion charge their enemies lines with devastating ferocity.

Use this Stratagem at the start of your Charge phase, if no BLACK LEGION units from your army are within Engagement Range of any enemy units. Select the BLACK LEGION CORE, BLACK LEGION DAEMONKIN or BLACK LEGION CHARACTER unit from your army that is closest to an enemy unit. Until the end of the turn:

You can re-roll charge rolls made for that unit.
Each time a model in that unit makes a melee attack against an enemy unit that is either in range of an objective marker or within your opponent’s deployment zone, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.

MONSTROUS VISAGES1CP

Creations of Bile – Battle Tactic Stratagem

Bile’s experimental ministrations have left these warriors as freakish monsters. Cursed with clusters of compound eyes, distended, fang-stuffed jaws or myriad other grotesqueries, they are hideous to behold.

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when a CREATIONS OF BILE CORE, CREATIONS OF BILE DAEMONKIN or CREATIONS OF BILE CHARACTER unit from your army is selected as the target of an attack. Until the end of the phase, each time an attack is made against that unit, subtract 1 from that attack’s hit roll.

SOUND THE BLACK HUNT1CP

Night Lords – Battle Tactic Stratagem

Isolated survivors and the meek of mind are favoured quarry of the VIII Legion.

Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase or the Fight phase, when a NIGHT LORDS CORE, NIGHT LORDS DAEMONKIN or NIGHT LORDS CHARACTER unit from your army is selected to shoot or fight. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack:

If that attack targets a unit that was below its Starting Strength when the attacking unit was selected to shoot or fight, or it targets a unit that has a Leadership characteristic of 6 or less, re-roll a hit roll of 1.
If that attack targets a unit that was below Half-strength when the attacking unit was selected to shoot or fight, or it targets a unit that has a Leadership characteristic of 5 or less, you can re-roll the hit roll.

IN MIDNIGHT CLAD1CP

Night Lords – Battle Tactic Stratagem

Having fought countless campaigns of terror in complete darkness, the Night Lords know how to make an ally of the shadows.

Use this Stratagem in your opponents Shooting phase, when a NIGHT LORDS INFANTRY unit (excluding CULTISTS units) is selected as the target of a ranged attack. Until the end of the phase, each time a ranged attack is made against that unit, subtract 1 from that Attacks hit roll.

COGITATED FATES1CP

Cogs of Vashtorr – Battle Tactic Stratagem

Vashtorr is a being unfettered by linear time and possessed of infinite patience and inventiveness. He thinks nothing of setting in motion centuries-long chains of cause and effect that transform reality into a mechanism of death calibrated to do his bidding and leave his foes with nowhere to hide from his worshippers’ wrath.

Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when a TRAITORIS ASTARTES unit from your army is selected to shoot. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, the target cannot receive the Benefits of Cover against that attack.

VENGEANCE FOR MONARCHIA1CP

Word Bearers – Battle Tactic Stratagem

Never will the outrage in beloved Monarchia be forgiven; the idols toppled there by Guillimans sons will be reforged from their bones.

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when a WORD BEARERS unit from your army is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, each time a HERETIC ASTARTES model in that unit makes a melee attack against an ULTRAMARINES unit, or against a unit that is a successor Chapter of the Ultramarines, you can re-roll the hit roll and you can re-roll wound roll.

CURSED DESPOILERS2CP

Word Bearers – Battle Tactic Stratagem

The sites the enemy deem valuable must be cast down and despoiled in the name of the Dark Gods. Only the foolish would stand between the Word Bearers and their unholy task.

Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when a WORD BEARERS CORE or WORD BEARERS DAEMONKIN unit from your army that is engaged in Wanton Massacre is selected to shoot. Select one enemy unit within 12" of that unit and in range of an objective marker. Each time a HERETIC ASTARTES model in that WORD BEARERS unit makes an attack with a Rapid Fire, Assault or Pistol weapon against that enemy unit, an unmodified hit roll of 4-5 scores 1 additional hit. Note that, combined with the Wanton Massacre bonus itself, this means that an unmodified hit roll of 4+ scores 1 additional hit.

TAKEN ALIVE1CP

Creations of Bile – Epic Deed Stratagem

To be snatched away for experimentation by Fabius Bile and his followers is an altogether nightmarish fate.

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when the enemy WARLORD is destroyed by a melee attack made by a CREATIONS OF BILE model from your army. Until the end of the battle:

Subtract 1 from the Leadership characteristic of every model in your opponent’s army.
Your opponent cannot use the Insane Bravery Stratagem.
Your opponent cannot use any rules to re-roll a Morale test.

GLITCHCURSE1CP

Cogs of Vashtorr – Epic Deed Stratagem

The machine spirits of bellicose weapons blaze in Vashtorr’s sight just as mortal souls do to other daemons. With but a flicker of his will, the Arkifane twists and redirects those fierce energies back against the weapons’ wielders.

Use this Stratagem in your opponent’s Shooting phase, when an enemy unit within 18" of and visible to your WARLORD has finished making its attacks. If any of those attacks targeted a TRAITORIS ASTARTES unit from your army that was within 6" of your WARLORD, roll one D6: on a 2-4, that enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds; on a 5+, that enemy unit suffers 3 mortal wounds.

HATRED UNBOUND2CP

Black Legion – Epic Deed Stratagem

The Black Legions hatred has burned undimmed for millennia, and they unleash it with every weapon at their disposal.

Until the start of your next Command phase, that unit is considered to be engaged in Wanton Destruction, Wanton Massacre and Wanton Slaughter.

FLAY THEM ALIVE1CP

Night Lords – Epic Deed Stratagem

Death does not always follow defeat. To the enemy’s most influential champions, the Night Lords reveal their most sadistic talents, the victims’ chilling screams broadcast to erode their allies’ mettle.

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when the enemy WARLORD is destroyed by a melee attack made by a NIGHT LORDS HERETIC ASTARTES model from your army. Until the end of the battle, each time a Combat Attrition test is taken for an enemy unit, subtract 1 from that Combat Attrition test.

TROPHIES OF THE LONG WAR1CP

Chaos Space Marines – Requisition Stratagem

Ancient artefacts have exchanged hands many times, but only the most ambitious champions have the strength to wield them.

Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army, if your WARLORD has the TRAITORIS ASTARTES keyword. Select one TRAITORIS ASTARTES model from your army (excluding CHARACTER models) that has the word ‘Aspiring’ or ‘Champion’ in its profile.

Each Relic in your army must be unique. You can only use this Stratagem once, unless you are playing a Strike Force battle (in which case, you can use this Stratagem twice) or an Onslaught battle (in which case, you can use this Stratagem three times).

CONTEMPT OVER CAUTION1CP/2CP

Chaos Space Marines – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

Allies are of little concern when a hated foe must be obliterated.

Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase. Select one CORE unit from your army that is not within Engagement Range of any enemy units, then select one enemy unit. Until the end of the phase:

Models in that <LEGION>ALPHA LEGIONBLACK LEGIONEMPEROR’S CHILDRENIRON WARRIORSNIGHT LORDSWORD BEARERSCREATIONS OF BILERED CORSAIRS unit can target that enemy unit even if that enemy unit is within Engagement Range of other friendly units, provided those other friendly units are all <LEGION>ALPHA LEGIONBLACK LEGIONEMPEROR’S CHILDRENIRON WARRIORSNIGHT LORDSWORD BEARERSCREATIONS OF BILERED CORSAIRS units.
Each time a model in that <LEGION>ALPHA LEGIONBLACK LEGIONEMPEROR’S CHILDRENIRON WARRIORSNIGHT LORDSWORD BEARERSCREATIONS OF BILERED CORSAIRS unit makes an attack against that enemy unit, you cannot re-roll the hit roll, and on an unmodified hit roll of 1, that attack scores a hit against one friendly <LEGION>ALPHA LEGIONBLACK LEGIONEMPEROR’S CHILDRENIRON WARRIORSNIGHT LORDSWORD BEARERSCREATIONS OF BILERED CORSAIRS unit of your choice within Engagement Range of that enemy unit instead (resolve any attacks against friendly units after resolving any attacks that hit that enemy unit).

If all of the units within Engagement Range of the enemy unit you selected were CULTISTS units, this Stratagem costs 1CP; otherwise, it costs 2CP.

UNENDING DESTRUCTION2CP

Chaos Space Marines – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

Chaos Space Marines are not easily diverted from their obsessive need to kill, and can accomplish their battlefield goals without having to relent in their acts of destruction.

Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase. Select one TRAITORIS ASTARTES INFANTRY unit from your army (excluding CULTISTS units) that is performing an action. That unit can shoot this phase without that action failing.

RELENTLESS DEVASTATION1CP

Chaos Space Marines – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

The wrath of Chaos Space Marines is inescapable.

Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase, when a TRAITORIS ASTARTES INFANTRY unit (excluding CULTISTS units) from your army makes a Normal Move or Advances. Until the end of your Shooting phase, provided that unit does not move again, it is considered to have Remained Stationary.

SCORN OF SORCERY1CP

Chaos Space Marines (Khorne) – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

Like the deity they worship, the warriors of the Blood God despise psykers, and their sheer hatred can quell the sorceries of foes.

Use this Stratagem in your opponent’s Psychic phase, after a Psychic test is passed for an enemy PSYKER unit and after any Deny the Witch test is taken. If that enemy PSYKER unit is within 24" of any TRAITORIS ASTARTES KHORNE units from your army, roll one D6: on a 4+, that psychic power is denied.

SHROUD OF FLIES3CP/2CP

Chaos Space Marines (Nurgle) – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

With an incessant drone, a feculent swarm of immaterial flies enshrouds Nurgle’s devotees, obscuring their repulsive forms.

Use this Stratagem at the start of your opponent’s Shooting phase. Select one TRAITORIS ASTARTES NURGLE unit from your army. Until the end of the phase, each time an enemy model shoots, if that NURGLE unit is not the closest eligible target or within 12" of that model, then until that shooting is resolved, that model cannot target that NURGLE unit. If that NURGLE unit has the MONSTER, VEHICLE, TERMINATOR or BIKER keyword, this Stratagem costs 3CP; otherwise, it costs 2CP.

EXCESSIVE CRUELTY2CP

Chaos Space Marines (Slaanesh) – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

Slaanesh’s chosen delight in inflicting torment and cruelty, and they persecute terrified foes with renewed vigour.

Use this Stratagem when an enemy unit within Engagement Range of a TRAITORIS ASTARTES SLAANESH unit from your army Falls Back. After that enemy unit has finished that move, select one TRAITORIS ASTARTES SLAANESH unit from your army that that enemy unit was within Engagement Range of when this Stratagem was used. That SLAANESH unit can either consolidate up to 3", or, if it is no longer within Engagement Range of any enemy units, shoot as if it were your Shooting phase. If the selected SLAANESH unit shoots, it can only target the enemy unit that Fell Back (and only if it is an eligible target).

WARP-BORN FORESIGHT2CP

Chaos Space Marines (Tzeentch) – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

Those in thrall to Tzeentch are gifted with a measure of foresight, allowing them to scry the enemy’s myriad futures and pinpoint exactly where they will strike.

Use this Stratagem at the end of the Reinforcements step of your opponent’s Movement phase. Select one TRAITORIS ASTARTES TZEENTCH unit from your army that is not within Engagement Range of any enemy units, then select one enemy unit that is within 12" of that unit and was set up as Reinforcements this turn. That TZEENTCH unit can shoot as if it were your Shooting phase, but if it does so, models in that unit can only target that enemy unit (and only if that enemy unit is an eligible target).

CAKOSPARK PRATTLE1CP

Cogs of Vashtorr – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

The gibbering of Vashtorr’s imps replicates itself through the enemy’s command and control networks, a data-daemonic wall of binharic gibberish that fouls the best-laid plans.

Use this Stratagem after your opponent uses a Stratagem (excluding Command Re-roll), if your WARLORD is on the battlefield. Until the end of the battle, the CP cost your opponent must pay to use that Stratagem again is increased by 1. You can only use this Stratagem once.

CONFLUENCE OF TRAITORS1CP

Black Legion – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

The Black Legions ranks are host to warriors of diverse origins, enabling their warbands to draw upon an array of deadly skills.

Use this Stratagem in your Command phase. Select one BLACK LEGION HERETIC ASTARTES unit from your army, then select one Legion Trait. Until the start of your next Command phase, models in that unit have that Legion Trait. You can only use this Stratagem once.

UNRELENTING ONSLAUGHT2CP

Black Legion – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

The Black Legion let nothing stand in their way.

Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase, when you select a BLACK LEGION unit from your army to move. Until the start your next Movement phase:

That unit can ignore any or all modifiers to its Move characteristic, Advance rolls and charge rolls.
That unit is eligible to shoot and declare a charge, even if it Falls Back this turn.

RAID SUPPLY LINES2CP

Red Corsairs – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

Daring pre-emptive strikes against the enemy’s supply lines and rearguard ensure that their reinforcements are either diverted or delayed by logistical anarchy.

Use this Stratagem at the start of the Reinforcements step of your opponent’s Movement phase, if a RED CORSAIRS WARLORD from your army is on the battlefield. If it is the first or the second battle round, you can select one of your opponent’s Strategic Reserves or Reinforcements units. That unit cannot arrive on the battlefield this phase for any reason, even if it has another rule that states it always arrives on the battlefield during a specific battle round (e.g. Drop Pod Assault). You can only use this Stratagem once.

UNDERHAND SCHEMING1CP

Night Lords – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

The honourable fight is a laughable concept to the Night Lords, who employ darting strikes, feigned retreats and all manner of dirty tactics to win the battle.

Use this Stratagem at the start of your Charge phase. Select one NIGHT LORDS unit from your army. Until the end of the phase, that unit is eligible to declare a charge in a turn in which it Fell Back.

DEATH ECSTASY2CP

Emperor’s Children – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

Death is but another thrilling experience, and the Emperor’s Children are loathe to deny the enemy such vistas of ecstatic sensation.

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when an EMPEROR’S CHILDREN INFANTRY unit from your army is selected as the target of a melee attack. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit is destroyed by a melee attack, if that model has not fought this phase, do not remove it from play. The destroyed model can fight after the attacking model’s unit has finished making attacks, and is then removed from play.

INCESSANT DISDAIN1CP

Emperor’s Children – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

Contempt for lesser warriors drives the Emperor’s Children in their punishing reprisals.

Use this Stratagem in the Heroic Interventions step of your opponent’s Charge phase. Select one EMPEROR’S CHILDREN CORE, EMPEROR’S CHILDREN DAEMONKIN or EMPEROR’S CHILDREN CHARACTER unit from your army. Until the end of the phase:

If that unit is not a CHARACTER unit, it is eligible to perform Heroic Interventions as if it were a CHARACTER unit.
If that unit is a CHARACTER unit, it is eligible to perform a Heroic Intervention if it is within 6" horizontally and 5" vertically of any enemy unit, and when performing a Heroic Intervention with that unit, you can move each model in that unit up to 6".
Each time a model in that unit makes a pile-in or consolidation move, it can move up to an additional 3".

Iron Warriors – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

The Iron Warriors see their thrall-servants as mere tools, fit only to soak up the foes ammunition and clog their blades.

Use this Stratagem at the start of your opponent’s Shooting phase. Select one IRON WARRIORS INFANTRY unit from your army, then select one friendly IRON WARRIORS CULTISTS unit wholly within 6" of that unit. Until the end of the phase, enemy models cannot target that IRON WARRIORS INFANTRY unit if that IRON WARRIORS CULTISTS unit is a closer eligible target.
