ABILITIES |
Let the Galaxy Burn Lord of Chaos (Aura): While a friendly RED CORSAIRS CORE unit is within 6" of this model, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, re-roll a hit roll of 1. The Tyrant of Badab: In your Command phase, select one friendly RED CORSAIRS CORE or RED CORSAIRS CHARACTER unit within 6" of this model. Until the start of your next Command phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, you can re-roll the hit roll. Sigil of Corruption: This model has a 4+ invulnerable save. The Hamadrya: Once per battle, at the start of your Psychic phase, this model can use its Hamadrya. If it does so, until the end of the phase, this model gains the PSYKER keyword and can attempt to manifest either Smite or one psychic power from the Dark Hereticus discipline. We recommend placing a Hamadrya model next to this model as a reminder, removing it once this ability has been used (a Hamadrya does not count as a model for any rules purposes). |

Datasheet-related Stratagems
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
GIFTS OF THE PLAGUE GOD1CP/2CP
Chaos Space Marines – Boarding Actions – Battle Tactic Stratagem
Grandfather Nurgle is eager to bestow 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 has the TERMINATOR keyword, this Stratagem costs 2CP; otherwise, it costs 1CP.
ETERNAL HATRED1CP/2CP
Chaos Space Marines – Boarding Actions – Battle Tactic Stratagem
The hatred the warriors of the Traitor Legions hold for the Imperium and the Emperor has burned for millennia.
Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when a TRAITORIS ASTARTES unit from your army is selected to shoot, or 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 model in that unit makes an attack, add 1 to that attack’s wound roll. If that unit has the TERMINATOR or POSSESSED keyword, this Stratagem costs 2CP; otherwise, it costs 1CP.
THE GREAT SORCERER1CP
Chaos Space Marines (Tzeentch) – Epic Deed Stratagem
Those not driven mad by the worship of Tzeentch are gifted with empyric powers to use against the Great Mutators enemies.
Use this Stratagem at the start of your Psychic phase. Select one TRAITORIS ASTARTES TZEENTCH PSYKER unit from your army, then select one of the following rules to apply to that unit:
- That unit can attempt to manifest one additional psychic power this phase.
- That unit can attempt to perform one psychic action and attempt to manifest one psychic power this phase.
THE GREAT SORCERER1CP
Chaos Space Marines – Boarding Actions – Epic Deed Stratagem
Those not driven mad by the worship of Tzeentch are given the power to harness the energies of the warp like no other, so long as this gift is used against the Great Mutators enemies.
Use this Stratagem at the start of your Psychic phase. Select one TRAITORIS ASTARTES TZEENTCH PSYKER unit from your army. That unit can attempt to manifest one additional psychic power this phase.
STUPEFYING HAZE1CP
Chaos Space Marines – Boarding Actions – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
Many warriors of Slaanesh exude an overpowering musk that is as nauseating as it is intoxicating. Those exposed to it find their senses dulled, their minds unravelling into a state of nightmarish bliss that leaves them bewildered and ripe for slaughter.
Use this Stratagem when an enemy unit that is within Engagement Range of a TRAITORIS ASTARTES SLAANESH unit from your army is selected to Fall Back. Roll 2D6: if the result is equal to or greater than that enemy unit s Leadership characteristic, that enemy unit cannot Fall Back this phase and must Remain Stationary instead.
TERRIFYING PHENOMENA1CP
Chaos Space Marines – Boarding Actions – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
The Chaos Space Marines march to war with the warp as their ally. In their presence walls run with blood, and the land itself seems haunted, preying on their foes’ worst fears and driving them insane with terror.
Use this Stratagem at the start of the Morale phase. Select one enemy unit within 12" of a TRAITORIS ASTARTES CHAOS UNDIVIDED unit from your army.
- Until the end of the phase, your opponent cannot select that unit for the Insane Bravery Stratagem and cannot use any rule that would let them re-roll a Morale test for that unit.
- If that unit fails a Morale test this phase, any action it is performing immediately fails and, until the start of its controlling player s next Morale phase, models in that unit are ignored when determining control of objective markers.
SCORN OF SORCERY1CP
Chaos Space Marines – Boarding Actions – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
Like the god they worship, the warriors of Khorne despise psykers and their trickery, and through the sheer force of their hatred can cause sorcerous powers to be undone.
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 attempt is made. If that PSYKER unit is within 18" of and visible to any TRAITORIS ASTARTES KHORNE units from your army, roll one D6: on a 4+, that psychic power is denied.
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).
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
RAIN FIRE AND DEATH2CP
Red Corsairs – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
The Red Corsairs maintain the mightiest fleet of warships in the Maelstrom, able to rain death upon their victims from high orbit.
Use this Stratagem in your Command phase, if a RED CORSAIRS CHARACTER unit from your army is on the battlefield. Select one point on the battlefield and place a marker on that point. At the start of your next Command phase, roll one D6 for each unit within 6" of the centre of that marker, adding 1 if the unit being rolled for is within 3" of the centre of that marker and subtracting 1 if the unit being rolled for is a Character unit. On a 2-5, that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds; on a 6+, that unit suffers D6 mortal wounds. That marker is then removed. You can only use this Stratagem once.
1CP | ||
DEVASTATION BATTERY Specialist Detachment Stratagem When enemy fortifications or armoured forces must be brought low, many Chaos Lords will gather their most destructive followers together to focus their tremendous firepower. Use this Stratagem when choosing your army. Pick a Chaos Space Marine Detachment from your army to be a Devastation Battery Specialist Detachment. CHAOS LORDS, WARPSMITHS, HAVOCS and OBLITERATORS in that Detachment gain the DEVASTATION BATTERY keyword. | ||
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Wanton Destruction
With skills honed in vast, bloody wars against the most heavily armoured or dug-in opposition, Chaos Space Marines punish such enemies with malicious barrages of utter destruction.
While this unit is engaged in Wanton Destruction, each time a model in this unit makes an attack with a Heavy, Rapid Fire or Grenade weapon, an unmodified hit roll of 6 scores 1 additional hit.Wanton Massacre
Barbarous firefights and the indiscriminate slaying of foes have been notorious hallmarks of the Heretic Astartes wars for millennia.
While this unit is engaged in Wanton Massacre, each time a model in this unit makes an attack with a Rapid Fire, Assault or Pistol weapon, an unmodified hit roll of 6 scores 1 additional hit.Wanton Slaughter
Close assaults are the favoured tactics of many traitors, coupling murderous short-ranged firepower with the unrestrained slaughter of hand-to-hand execution.
While this unit is engaged in Wanton Slaughter, each time a model in this unit makes an attack with an Assault, Pistol or melee weapon, an unmodified hit roll of 6 scores 1 additional hit.Let the Galaxy Burn
Drawing upon countless years of festering bitterness and hate, Chaos Space Marines attack with a ferocity that is terrible to behold. Whether annihilating the foe at range or butchering them without mercy at close quarters, there is no aspect of death unknown to these traitors. Unencumbered by stultifying doctrines, they are capable of adapting their murderous priorities with horrifying ease, and there are no limits to the levels of devastation they will unleash to vent their anger.
If every unit from your army has the TRAITORIS ASTARTES keyword (excluding models with the AGENT OF CHAOS or UNALIGNED keyword) and every unit from your army (excluding ABADDON THE DESPOILER) is from the same Legion, this unit gains the following rules:- Each time a model in this unit shoots with a flame weapon, when determining how many attacks are made with that weapon this phase, add 2 to the result (e.g. a model shooting with a flamer makes D6+2 attacks).
- This unit gains a bonus (see below) depending on which wanton act it is engaged in, as follows:
- During the first battle round, your army (and every unit from it) is engaged in Wanton Destruction.
- During the second battle round, your army (and every unit from it) is engaged in Wanton Massacre.
- At the start of the third battle round, select either Wanton Massacre or Wanton Slaughter; until the end of that battle round, your army (and every unit from it) is engaged in the wanton act you selected.
- During the fourth and subsequent battle rounds, your army (and every unit from it) is engaged in Wanton Slaughter.
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.

Advance
When a unit makes an Advance, make an Advance roll for the unit by rolling one D6. Add the result in inches to the Move (M) characteristic of each model in that unit until the end of the current phase. Each model in that unit can then move a distance in inches equal to or less than this total, but no model can be moved within Engagement Range of enemy models. A unit cannot shoot or declare a charge in the same turn that it made an Advance.- Advance: Models move up to M+D6".
- Cannot move within Engagement Range of enemy models.
- Units that Advance cannot shoot or charge this turn.
Engagement Range
Engagement Range represents the zone of threat that models present to their enemies. While a model is within 1" horizontally and 5" vertically of an enemy model, those models are within Engagement Range of each other. While two enemy models are within Engagement Range of each other, those models’ units are also within Engagement Range of each other. Models cannot be set up within Engagement Range of enemy models.- Engagement Range: 1" horizontally + 5" vertically.
- Models cannot be set up within Engagement Range of enemy models.
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.
Objective Markers
In Boarding Actions, objective markers should have a diameter of 40mm. A model is within range of an objective marker if it is within 1" of that objective marker.At the start of the battle, each objective marker on the battlefield is contested, and so is not controlled by either player. Unless otherwise noted, a player will control an objective marker at the end of any phase if they have more models within range of it than their opponent does.
INSANE BRAVERY2CP
Boarding Action – Epic Deed Stratagem
To commit to battle within the claustrophobic corridors and gothic chambers of a void ship necessitates near-suicidal courage, or else sufficient fear of the consequences of refusal. To stand their ground against impossible odds during such a fight requires warriors to exhibit a kind of single-minded madness.
Use this Stratagem before you take a Morale test for a unit from your army. That test is automatically passed. You can only use this Stratagem once.
Fall Back
When a unit Falls Back, each model in that unit can move a distance in inches equal to or less than the Move (M) characteristic shown on its datasheet, and when doing so you can move it within Engagement Range of enemy models, but it cannot end its move within Engagement Range of any enemy models – if it cannot do this then it cannot Fall Back. A unit cannot declare a charge in the same turn that it Fell Back. A unit cannot shoot or attempt to manifest a psychic power in the same turn that it Fell Back unless it is TITANIC.- Fall Back: Models move up to M".
- Units that Fall Back cannot charge this turn.
- Units that Fall Back cannot shoot or manifest psychic powers this turn unless they are TITANIC.
Consolidate
When a unit consolidates, you can move each model in the unit up to 3" – this is a Consolidation move. Each model must finish its Consolidation move closer to the closest enemy model. A model that is already touching an enemy model cannot move, but still counts as having consolidated. Remember that a unit must finish any type of move in unit coherency.- Consolidate: Move up to 3".
- Must end closer to the closest enemy model.

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.
Deny the Witch
When a PSYKER unit attempts to deny a psychic power, you must take a Deny the Witch test for that unit by rolling 2D6. If the total is greater than the result of the Psychic test, the Deny the Witch test is passed and the psychic power is denied. Only one attempt can be made to deny a psychic power. If a PSYKER unit can attempt to deny more than one psychic power in a psychic phase, this will be listed on its datasheet.- Deny the Witch: Passed if 2D6 exceeds result of the opposing PSYKER’s Psychic test.
- Only one attempt can be made to deny each psychic power.

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.
Smite
Smite has a warp charge value of 5. Add 1 to the warp charge value of this psychic power for each other attempt that has been made to manifest this power by a unit from your army in this phase, whether that attempt was successful or not. If manifested, the closest enemy unit within 18" of and visible to the psyker suffers D3 mortal wounds. If the result of the Psychic test was 11 or more, that unit suffers D6 mortal wounds instead.- Warp Charge 5: A Psychic test of 5+ is required to manifest Smite.
- Warp charge increases by 1 for each other attempt to manifest Smite made in this phase.
- If manifested, closest visible enemy unit in 18" suffers D3 mortal wounds.
- If manifested with a Psychic test result of 11+, enemy instead suffers D6 mortal wounds.

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.
