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.

TANK DESTROYERS1CP

COGITATED FATES1CP

Cogs of Vashtorr – Battle Tactic Stratagem

Vashtorr is a being unfettered by linear time and possessed of infinite patience and inventiveness.

Your opponent cannot use any rules to re-roll a Morale test.

GLITCHCURSE1CP

Cogs of Vashtorr – Epic Deed Stratagem

When the warp provides, a price must always be paid...

DARK PACT1CP

Word Bearers – Epic Deed Stratagem

With gruesome offerings and ritualised promises, the Word Bearers seek the protection of their infernal masters.

Use this Stratagem in any phase, when a WORD BEARERS INFANTRY CHARACTER model from your army is destroyed. Instead of using any other rules that are triggered when that model is destroyed, you can choose for that model to make a dark pact. If you do so, mark that model’s position then remove that model from the battlefield. At the end of the phase, roll one D6: on a 4+, set that model back up on the battlefield as close as possible to the position you marked and not within Engagement Range of any enemy units, with D3 wounds remaining.

Chaos Space Marines – Requisition Stratagem

Each Warlord Trait in your army must be unique (if randomly generated, re-roll duplicate results), and you cannot use this Stratagem to give a model two Warlord Traits. 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).

GIFTS OF CHAOS1CP

Chaos Space Marines – Requisition Stratagem

The Chaos Gods will reward those who prove themselves worthy.

Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army, if your WARLORD has the TRAITORIS ASTARTES keyword. Select one TRAITORIS ASTARTES CHARACTER model from your army and give it one Relic of Chaos (this must be a Relic it can have). Each Relic in your army must be unique. You can use this Stratagem to give a MARK OF CHAOS CHARACTER model a second Relic, provided one of its Relics replaces a weapon; otherwise, you cannot use this Stratagem to give a model two Relics. If you use this Stratagem to give a CHARACTER model a second Relic, none of that model’s Relics can be a daemon weapon. You cannot use this Stratagem to give a model three Relics. 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).

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

SUBLIME INFILTRATION1CP

Chaos Space Marines – Alpha Legion – Boarding Actions – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

More illusive than shadows, the Alpha Legion are amongst the keenest infiltrators in the galaxy.

Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase, when an ALPHA LEGION unit from your army is set up within an Entry Zone. That unit can make a Normal Move of up to 6".

CRUSADERS OF DARKNESS1CP

Chaos Space Marines – Black Legion – Boarding Actions – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

Marching relentlessly onward, the Black Legion sweep aside those enemies who dare contest their martial prizes.

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when a BLACK LEGION CORE or BLACK LEGION CHARACTER unit from your army is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack that targets an enemy unit within range of an objective marker, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.

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.

VENGEFUL SKIES3CP

Black Legion – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

The Black Legion’s warships darken the battlefields skies, their lance batteries carving paths of ruin with deadly stabs of spite.

Use this Stratagem in your Command phase, if any BLACK LEGION CHARACTER models from your army are on the battlefield. Select one point on the battlefield and place a marker on that point. At the start of your next Command phase, place another marker on the battlefield within 12" of the centre of that marker, and draw a straight line between the centre of each of these markers. Roll one D6 for each unit that line would pass over or through, adding 1 if the unit being rolled for contains 11 or more models and subtracting 1 if the unit being rolled for is a CHARACTER unit. On a 3+, that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds. The markers are then removed. 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.

Night Lords – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

The sons of Nostramo strike from the dark, outmanoeuvring the foe in the murk of war before surging forward like bloodhungry spectres.

Use this Stratagem in the Reinforcements step of your Movement phase. Select one NIGHT LORDS INFANTRY or NIGHT LORDS BIKER unit from your army that is either in Strategic Reserves or is a Reinforcements unit that has not yet been set up on the battlefield. That unit can now be set up as if the battle round was one higher than it currently is, regardless of any mission rules. If that unit has the DAEMONKIN keyword, this Stratagem costs 2CP; otherwise, it costs 1CP.
