Datasheet-related Stratagems
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.
Plunderers and trophy-takers, the Red Corsairs will not willingly abandon their prize when it is so close to hand.
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.
The visceral sensation of every fresh kill causes the warriors of the Emperor’s Children to enter an ecstatic frenzy of butchery and dismemberment.
Warriors who venerate Slaanesh through the most graceful fighting forms are rewarded in their endeavours.
- 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.
Fulgrim's scions are renowned for their bladecraft, toying with their inferiors while preparing an exquisite, penetrating thrust.
The seething hatred that the Heretic Astartes harbour for the Corpse Emperor and his weakling, thin-blooded Space Marines is a weapon unto itself.
With unceasing firepower do the Iron Warriors prevail.
- 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.
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.
- That unit automatically passes Morale tests.
- Each time a model in that unit makes an attack, add 1 to that attack’s hit roll.
The Iron Warriors unflinchingly face their fate, drawing upon millennia of resolve to weather the most punishing of attacks.
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.
The Legion’s contempt for the Imperial Fists runs deep, unleashed in a surge of violent atrocity whenever they clash with Dorn’s sons.
The bloodlust of Khorne’s followers is never sated, and is only heightened by the arterial sprays of their enemies’ gore.
Grandfather Nurgle bestows daemonic fecundity upon his faithful servants, sealing their gaping wounds with pulsating growths and replacing their spilt blood with curdling ichor.
Every Legionary harbours a reservoir of bitter hatred and resentment that they can draw upon to destroy their foes utterly.
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.
Never will the outrage in beloved Monarchia be forgiven; the idols toppled there by Guillimans sons will be reforged from their bones.
It is a great honour to be the first to slay the foe, and the Black Legion charge their enemies lines with devastating ferocity.
- 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.
Having fought countless campaigns of terror in complete darkness, the Night Lords know how to make an ally of the shadows.
Isolated survivors and the meek of mind are favoured quarry of the VIII Legion.
- 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.
The Red Corsairs are raiders with few equals, and never willingly abandon a prize when it is close to hand.
Having fought countless campaigns of terror in complete darkness, the Night Lords know how to make an ally of the shadows.
From trench warfare to boarding actions, the Iron Warriors meet the grim likelihood of death head on, and often emerge victorious.
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.
The hatred the warriors of the Traitor Legions hold for the Imperium and the Emperor has burned for millennia.
Veterans of centuries or millennia, the Long War’s most embittered warriors have learnt how best to focus their need for vengeance.
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.
To be snatched away for experimentation by Fabius Bile and his creations is a truly horrifying fate.

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.
The Black Legions hatred has burned undimmed for millennia, and they unleash it with every weapon at their disposal.
To be snatched away for experimentation by Fabius Bile and his followers is an altogether nightmarish fate.
- Subtract 1 from the Leadership characteristic of every model in your opponent’s army.

When the warp provides, a price must always be paid...
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.
Ancient artefacts have exchanged hands many times, but only the most ambitious champions have the strength to wield them.
Slaanesh’s chosen delight in inflicting torment and cruelty, and they persecute terrified foes with renewed vigour.
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.
The Hydra knows all. Accessing scan-feeds from hidden Legion ships, interpreting the whispers of warp gheists or acting on data from embedded traitors, few esoteric incursions are unexpected by the Alpha Legion.
These clandestine warriors can disappear at a moment’s notice, employing psychocrystalline camouflage, distorting warp-emitters or silenced servos coupled with obscuration skills honed over millennia.
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.
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.
- 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.
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.
More illusive than shadows, the Alpha Legion are amongst the keenest infiltrators in the galaxy.
When the Night Lords descend, there is no mercy.
Marching relentlessly onward, the Black Legion sweep aside those enemies who dare contest their martial prizes.
The sons of Nostramo strike from the dark, outmanoeuvring the foe in the murk of war before surging forward like bloodhungry spectres.
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.
The Black Legions ranks are host to warriors of diverse origins, enabling their warbands to draw upon an array of deadly skills.
The Black Legion let nothing stand in their way.
- 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.
Even those to whom Black Legionnaires are nightmarish myth recognise these ebon-armoured warriors as their worlds doom.
Daring pre-emptive strikes against the enemy’s supply lines and rearguard ensure that their reinforcements are either diverted or delayed by logistical anarchy.
Death is but another thrilling experience, and the Emperor’s Children are loathe to deny the enemy such vistas of ecstatic sensation.
Contempt for lesser warriors drives the Emperor’s Children in their punishing reprisals.
- 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".
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.
The Iron Warriors see their thrall-servants as mere tools, fit only to soak up the foes ammunition and clog their blades.
The ploys and machinations of the Alpha Legion are ineffable to outsiders, the heretics' foes kept guessing or else deliberately fed contradictory disinformation.
Landing coordinates, teleport beacons or signal emitters are tampered with by infiltrating the enemy's vox and data networks.
Alpha Legion agents and saboteurs infiltrate enemy targets long before the foe join the battle.
A wise commander never takes their eyes off the Alpha Legion for a moment, for they will disappear in an instant, biding their time before reappearing for the final strike.
The Alpha Legion are as illusive as a shadow, their operatives stealing forward to occupy advanced positions or swiftly outmanoeuvre the foes carefully laid fire lanes.
Trust not appearances - the swift retreat can coil back in an instant, for the Hydra is always ready to strike.
Allies are of little concern when a hated foe must be obliterated.
- Models in that 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 units.
- Each time a model in that 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 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).
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.
The wrath of Chaos Space Marines is inescapable.
Like the deity they worship, the warriors of the Blood God despise psykers, and their sheer hatred can quell the sorceries of foes.
With an incessant drone, a feculent swarm of immaterial flies enshrouds Nurgle’s devotees, obscuring their repulsive forms.
Hideous screams of an aggressive techno-virus infiltrate the communication systems of the target, temporarily rendering it incapable of command.
These carefully brewed substances lend the Heretic Astartes who consume them speed and strength even in excess of their post-human capabilities.
Skyshrike missiles are designed to eliminate the foe’s aerial assets by unleashing a sigil-scrawled payload that shreds armour and ruptures vital systems.
Crafted on tainted forge worlds and infused with warp energy, these shells release a mind-sickening scream as they are launched, voicing a craving to consume the soul of their target.
- Add 6" to the Range characteristic of all bolt weapons models in that unit are equipped with.
- Each time a model in that unit makes a ranged attack with a bolt weapon, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.
Diabolical wards of protection can turn aside the enemy’s blows, and every Word Bearers armour is covered in dark script devoted to the Chaos Gods.
Diabolical wards of protection can turn aside the enemy’s blows.
Arrays of sub-dermal vials inject auto-stimulants and bio-catalysts into the warriors’ enhanced muscles, invigorating them for incredible feats of exertion.
Concoctions of hideous euphoria empower the minds of the Legion’s sybaritic warriors.

Psychic Powers
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.
Dark Hereticus Discipline
SKEINS OF FATE The sorcerer acquisitively grasps the skeins of future events, plucking from them the desired fates of his allies. Forewarned of the foes attacks, Tzeentch’s warriors evade divined shots and strikes with seemingly supernatural reflexes. Blessing: Skeins of Fate has a warp charge value of 7. If manifested, select one friendly TZEENTCH unit within 18" of this PSYKER. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, models in that unit have a 4+ invulnerable save. |
PUTRID MIASMA As the psyker’s gurgling chants reach an apex, a foetid spume of putridity obscures his allies from view. Blessing: Putrid Miasma has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, select one friendly NURGLE unit within 18" of this PSYKER. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, each time an attack is made against that unit, subtract 1 from that attack’s hit roll. |
DELIGHTFUL AGONIES Those whose minds are touched by the psykers caress are wracked by waves of exquisite pain, over which physical trauma has no hold. Blessing: Delightful Agonies has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, select one friendly SLAANESH unit within 18" of this PSYKER. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, each time a model in that unit would lose a wound, roll one D6: on a 5+, that wound is not lost. |
| D3 | PSYCHIC POWER |
| 1 | INFERNAL GAZE Unholy power streams from the psykers eyes, charring and melting everything caught in its path. Witchfire: Infernal Gaze has a warp charge value of 5. If manifested, select one enemy unit within 18" of and visible to this PSYKER and roll three D6. For each 4+, that enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound. If the result of the Psychic test was an unmodified 10+, roll six D6 instead. |
| 2 | PRESCIENCE By focusing his warp-sight the psyker can guide the shots and strikes of his allies, bringing a swift and merciless death to the foe. Blessing: Prescience has a warp charge value of 7. If manifested, select one friendly unit within 18" of this PSYKER. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, add 1 to that attack’s hit roll. |
| 3 | DIABOLIC STRENGTH The unholy energies of Chaos course through the recipient, swelling his frame with the strength to tear a tank in two. Blessing: Diabolic Strength has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, select one friendly INFANTRY or CHAOS SPAWN model within 12" of this PSYKER. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, add 2 to the Strength and Attacks characteristics of that model. |
Marks of Chaos
Mark of Khorne
The mark of the Blood God may manifest as a skull-shaped brand of black fire, the visage of a snarling canine, blood-red eyes that weep ichor or a brazen halo erupting from the skull.
- Each time a model in this unit makes a melee attack, if that models unit made a charge move, was charged or performed a Heroic Intervention this turn, add 1 to the Strength characteristic of that attack.
- If this unit has the ICON keyword, each time a model in this unit makes a melee attack, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.
Mark of Tzeentch
The duplicitous worshippers of Tzeentch may bear multitudinous eyes, multi-hued avian mutations, sentient serpentine tattoos or glittering crystalline flesh.
- Once per turn, the first time a saving throw is failed for this unit, the Damage characteristic of that attack is changed to 0.
- If this unit has the ICON keyword, each time a model in this unit makes a ranged attack, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.
Mark of Nurgle
Some pledged to Nurgle bear insectile appendages or boils in the shape of his sigil; others are swollen with corruption.
- Each time an attack is made against this unit, if the Strength characteristic of that attack either equals or is at least double the Toughness characteristic of this unit, subtract 1 from that attack’s wound roll.
- While this unit has the ICON keyword, each time a model in this unit makes a ranged attack, an unmodified hit roll of 6 automatically wounds the target.
Mark of Slaanesh
Those in thrall to the Prince of Excess may exude a cloying musk or stare with lidless black orbs instead of eyes. Others bear repulsive growths or caress foes with barbed talons.
- If this unit starts the Fight phase within Engagement Range of any enemy units, it fights first that phase.
- If this unit has the ICON keyword, each time a model in this unit makes a melee attack, add 1 to that attack’s hit roll.
When a model shoots a Rapid Fire weapon, double the number of attacks it makes if its target is within half the weapon’s range.
- Double number of attacks made if target is within half range.
- 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.
When an INFANTRY model shoots a Heavy weapon, subtract 1 from the hit rolls when resolving that weapon’s attacks if the firing model’s unit has moved for any reason this turn (e.g. it made a Normal Move this turn).
- Subtract 1 from hit rolls if firing model is INFANTRY and its unit has moved this turn.
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.
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.
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.
| ||||||||||||||
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.
|
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.

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.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.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.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.

- 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.
- Invulnerable save: Saving throw that is never modified by attacking weapon’s AP.

Note that CHARACTERS cannot use their Aura Abilities while performing actions.
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.
Battle aboard a void ship is anarchic and confusing. Auspicators and map-slates must be watched constantly. Enemy contacts ghost in and out of sight as steam billows in clouds, lumen flicker and gunfire roars on every side. Amidst such conditions, the steady hand of a veteran commander is more important than ever, and can spell the difference between triumph and disaster.

To a warrior of the Heretic Astartes the boltgun is far more than a weapon - it is a symbol of his anger, the instrument of his vengeance and the bringer of death to his foes.
Instead of following the normal rules for Rapid Fire weapons, models in this unit shooting Rapid Fire bolt weapons make double the number of attacks if any of the following apply:- The shooting model’s target is within half the weapons range.
- The shooting model is INFANTRY and its unit Remained Stationary in your previous Movement phase.
- The shooting model is a TERMINATOR or BIKER model.
The INFANTRY keyword is used in the following Chaos Space Marines datasheets:
- Perils of the Warp: The PSYKER unit manifesting the power suffers D3 mortal wounds.
- If PSYKER unit is destroyed, the psychic power fails to manifest.
- If PSYKER unit destroyed, every other unit within 6" suffers D3 mortal wounds.
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.
- 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.

ASHEN AXE
A malefic nexus for the warp’s denizens, foes of the Word Bearers find themselves unable to flee the Ashen Axes blows, as invisible claws seem to root them to the spot. In truth, their minds are assailed by the entities, who circle impatiently for the soul feast the Ashen Axe will deliver.
