SUPREME CREATION1CP

Creations of Bile – Requisition Stratagem

This warrior was already a dark champion of Chaos. Now, he is both more and less – monstrously powerful but yoked utterly to Fabius Bile’s will.

Use this Stratagem before the battle. Select one CREATIONS OF BILE CHARACTER model from your army that is not FABIUS BILE. You can give that model one of the abilities from those listed below. You can only use this Stratagem once.

Prime Test Subject

Whilst Bile has unlocked a portion of the mysterious bio-alchemy used in the creation of the warriors of the Adeptus Custodes, only the strongest test subjects survive the rampant cell transformations.

Add 1 to the Strength and Toughness characteristics of this model.

The Master’s Hound

With enhanced sensory and aggressive instincts, this practically mindless creature is used by Bile to hunt down those he wishes to conduct further research upon.

Add 1 to Advance and charge rolls for this model.
Each time this model fights, if it made a charge move, was charged or performed a Heroic Intervention, then until that fight is resolved, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of this model.

Ravenous Biology

Through a quirk of chemistry, this creation's cells repair at a tremendous rate, but require constant fuelling. This can only be achieved by devouring the flesh of their foes to satiate their physiology.

Each time this model would lose a wound, roll one D6; on a 6, that wound is not lost.
At the end of the Fight phase, this model regains D3 lost wounds if any enemy models were destroyed within Engagement Range of them during this phase.

PRESCIENCE2CP

Scourged – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

Tzeentch has gifted the Scourged with a measure of foresight, allowing them to read the enemy’s signals and know exactly where they will strike.

Use this Stratagem after your opponent sets up a unit that is arriving on the battlefield as reinforcements. Pick one SCOURGED INFANTRY unit from your army that is within 12" of that enemy unit. Your unit can immediately shoot at that enemy unit as if it were your Shooting phase.

TAKEN ALIVE1CP

Creations of Bile – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

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

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase when a model from an enemy unit is destroyed as the result of an attack made with a melee weapon by a model from a CREATIONS OF BILE INFANTRY unit from your army. For the rest of the battle, when taking a Morale test for that enemy model’s unit, each model in that unit that was destroyed that turn is treated as two models for the purposes of taking that Morale test. Each enemy unit can only be selected for this Stratagem once.

RENASCENT INFILTRATION1CP

Alpha Legion – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

Disappear and reappear for the final strike.

Use this Stratagem at the end of your Movement phase. Select one ALPHA LEGION INFANTRY unit from your army that is more than 3" away from any enemy models (you cannot select a unit that arrived as reinforcements this turn). Remove that unit from the battlefield. At the end of your next Movement phase, set up that unit on the battlefield again, anywhere that is more than 9" away from any enemy models. Any models that cannot be set up in this way are destroyed. If the battle ends before that unit is set back up, it is destroyed.

CONCEAL2CP

Alpha Legion – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

These clandestine warriors will disappear at a moment’s notice.

Use this Stratagem at the start of your opponent’s Shooting phase. Select one ALPHA LEGION INFANTRY unit from your army. Until the end of that phase, enemy models can only target that unit if it is the closest visible target.

CANNON FODDER2CP

Iron Warriors – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

Clog up their guns with the flesh and bones of the weak.

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 CHAOS CULTISTS unit wholly within 6" of that unit. Until the end of that phase, enemy models cannot target that IRON WARRIORS INFANTRY unit if the selected IRON WARRIORS CHAOS CULTISTS unit is a closer visible target.

FORWARD OPERATIVES1CP

Alpha Legion – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

The Alpha Legion are as illusive as a shadow.

Use this Stratagem during deployment, when you set up an ALPHA LEGION INFANTRY unit from your army. At the start of the first battle round but before the first turn begins, you can move that unit up to 9". It cannot end this move within 9" of any enemy models. If both players have units that can move before the first turn begins, the player who is taking the first turn moves their units first. Each unit can only be selected for this Stratagem once per battle.

APOPLECTIC FRENZY1CP

World Eaters – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

Howling in rage, World Eaters surge towards the foe.

Use this Stratagem during deployment, when you set up a WORLD EATERS INFANTRY unit from your army. At the start of the first battle round but before the first turn begins, you can move that unit up to 9". It cannot end this move within 9" of any enemy models. If both players have units that can move before the first turn begins, the player who is taking the first turn moves their units first.

MONSTROUS VISAGES1CP

Creations of Bile – Strategic Ploy 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 at the start of any phase. Select one CREATIONS OF BILE INFANTRY unit from your army (excluding CHAOS CULTISTS). Until the end of the turn, that unit has the following ability: ‘Monstrous Visages (Aura): While an enemy model is within 6" of this unit, each time that model makes an attack, subtract 1 from the hit roll.’

MACROTENSILE SINEWS1CP

Creations of Bile – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

Injecting auto-stimulants into their enhanced muscles, these warriors leap and bound across the battlefield.

Use this Stratagem at the start of your Movement phase. Select one CREATIONS OF BILE INFANTRY unit (excluding CHAOS CULTISTS) from your army. Until the end of the turn:

That unit is eligible to declare charge with in a turn which they Advanced.

Use this Stratagem at the end of your Movement phase. Select a HERETIC ASTARTES NURGLE INFANTRY or BIKER unit. One model in the unit heals D3 wounds. If there are no wounded models in the unit, a single model in the unit that was slain earlier in the battle is returned to the unit with a single wound remaining.


	1CP

CHAOS FAMILIAR

Chaos Space Marines Stratagem

Though diminutive in stature, many lesser warp entities whisper dark secrets that can shift the tide of battle.

	1CP

	2CP

ENDLESS CACOPHONY

Chaos Space Marines Stratagem

In the clangour of battle the worshippers of Slaanesh hear sweet music, and they compete to be loudest in this deafening chorus.

	1CP

FORWARD OPERATIVES

Alpha Legion Stratagem

	1CP

DARK PACT

Word Bearers Stratagem

The Word Bearers are expert at drawing the twisted minions of the Dark Gods into realspace using profane rituals and gruesome sacrifices.

Use this Stratagem when a WORD BEARERS CHARACTER attempts to summon a unit of DAEMONS to the battlefield using a Daemonic Ritual. You can re-roll any of the dice used in the summoning roll, and your character will not suffer any mortal wounds for rolling doubles or triples.


	1CP

EXCESS OF VIOLENCE

Emperor’s Children 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 just before an EMPEROR’S CHILDREN INFANTRY unit attacks in the Fight phase. Each time a model in your unit slays an enemy model, it can immediately make another hit roll using the same weapon at the same target (these bonus attacks cannot themselves generate any further attacks).


	1CP

IN MIDNIGHT CLAD

Night Lords 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 when a BLACK LEGION INFANTRY or BIKER unit is selected to attack in a Shooting or Fight phase. You can re-roll all hit rolls of 1 for that unit for the rest of the phase. If the unit is a Chaos Space Marine squad, you can re-roll all failed hit rolls for it instead.


	1CP

CHAOS BOON

Chaos Space Marines Stratagem

The path of Chaos can lead a warrior to daemonhood, or it can see him transformed into a gibbering Chaos Spawn.

Use this Stratagem at the end of a Fight phase in which one of your HERETIC ASTARTES CHARACTERS (excluding DAEMON CHARACTERS) slays an enemy CHARACTER, VEHICLE or MONSTER. Roll 2D6 and look up the result below.

2D6	Boon
2	Spawndom: Your character is slain. However, before removing the model as a casualty, you can add a Chaos Spawn to your army. If you do so, set up the Chaos Spawn within 6" of the character and not within Engagement Range of any enemy units before removing them as a casualty.
3	Arcane Occulum: Add 6" to the Range of all of the character’s ranged weapons.
4	Temporal Distortion: Add 3" to the character’s Move characteristic.
5	Strength of the Berzerker: Add 1 to the character’s Strength characteristic.
6	Warp Frenzy: Add 1 to the character’s Attacks characteristic.

10	Crystalline Body: Add 1 to the character’s Toughness characteristic.

Boons last for the rest of the battle. The same boon cannot be received by a model more than once – if this happens, choose a result the model has not yet received (excluding Spawndom and Daemonhood). Chaos Spawn or Daemon Princes created by a boon must have the same Mark of Chaos as the model had (if any), and they do not cost any reinforcement points in a matched play game.


	1CP/3CP

GIFTS OF CHAOS

Chaos Space Marines Stratagem

Though fickle with their gifts, the Chaos Gods will reward those champions who continue to prove themselves worthy.

Use this Stratagem before the battle. Your army can have one extra Artefact of Chaos for 1 CP, or two extra Artefacts of Chaos for 3 CPs. All of the Artefacts of Chaos that you include must be different and be given to different CHAOS SPACE MARINE CHARACTERS. You can only use this Stratagem once per battle.


	1CP

DAEMON SHELL

Chaos Space Marines Stratagem

Crafted on tainted forge worlds and infused with warp energy, daemon shells release a mind-sickening scream as they are launched. If they cannot consume the soul of their target, they will seek out another’s essence.

Use this Stratagem just before a HERETIC ASTARTES CHARACTER attacks with a bolt pistol, boltgun, combi-bolter or the boltgun profile of a combi-weapon. You can only make a single hit roll with the weapon (or boltgun profile) this phase, which you cannot re-roll. If the shot hits, the target suffers D3 mortal wounds; if the shot misses, your character suffers D3 mortal wounds.
