Datasheet-related Stratagems
SLAYERS OF SHADOWS1CP
House Mortan – Battle Tactic Stratagem
Used to fighting in the dark, House Mortan Nobles close their eyes and let their ancestors’ whispers guide their aim.
Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when a HOUSE MORTAN model from your army is selected to shoot, or in the Fight phase, when a HOUSE MORTAN model from your army is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, each time that model makes an attack, you can ignore any or all hit roll, Ballistic Skill and Weapon Skill modifiers.
CONTROLLED AGGRESSION1CP
House Krast – Battle Tactic Stratagem
When the Knights of House Krast enter close-quarters combat, they do so certain in the knowledge that their attack speed and aggression protocols are optimal.
Use this Stratagem at the start of the Fight phase. Select up to 2 HOUSE KRAST ARMIGER-CLASS models from your army, or one other HOUSE KRAST unit from your army. Until the end of the phase:
- Add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of the selected models.
- Each time the selected models make a melee attack, improve the Armour penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.
SATURATION BOMBARDMENT1CP/2CP
House Vulker – Battle Tactic Stratagem
The saturation bombardments of House Vulker are infamous, their Nobles elevating their guns and letting fly on pre-cogitated trajectories. The enemy are caught in a firestorm as the Omnissiah’s wrath rains down upon them.
Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when a HOUSE VULKER model from your army is selected to shoot. Until the end of the phase, each time that model makes a ranged attack, on an unmodified hit roll of 6, one additional hit is scored. If that unit is an ARMIGER-CLASS model, this Stratagem costs 1CP; otherwise, this Stratagem costs 2CP.
CALCULATED TARGETING2-4CP
Imperial Knights (Mechanicus) – Battle Tactic Stratagem
With an icy and calculating menace, this knightly lord establishes the end of the Omnissiah’s foes in violent displays of unremitting firepower.
Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when a QUESTOR MECHANICUS model from your army is selected to shoot. Until the end of the phase, each time that model makes a ranged attack, on an unmodified wound roll of 6, that attack inflicts a number of mortal wounds on the target equal to the Damage characteristic of that attack, and the attack sequence ends. If that model is an ARMIGER-CLASS model, this Stratagem costs 2CP; if that model is a QUESTORIS-CLASS model, this Stratagem costs 3CP; otherwise, it costs 4CP.
FULL TILT1CP
Imperial Knights – Battle Tactic Stratagem
With the enemy before them, their Knights machine spirit snarling, and the rush of battle coursing through their veins, the Noble pilot pours power into their motive actuators and thunder forwards.
Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase, when an IMPERIAL KNIGHTS VEHICLE model from your army Advances. Do not make an Advance roll. Instead, until the end of the phase, add 6" to the Move characteristic of this model (if this model is an ARMIGER-CLASS model, add 9" instead).
THUNDERSTOMP1CP
Imperial Knights – Battle Tactic Stratagem
The Knight brings its foot crashing down with the force of an industrial piledriver. Few can survive such a blow.
Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase when an IMPERIAL KNIGHTS TITANIC model from your army is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, each time that model makes a melee attack with its titanic feet:
- Subtract 1 from that attack’s hit roll.
- If that attack successfully hits the target, unless the target of that attack is a VEHICLE, MONSTER or a CHARACTER unit, the target suffers 2 mortal wounds and the attack sequence ends.
LINEBREAKER1CP
Imperial Knights (Imperialis) – Battle Tactic Stratagem
Aggressively pushing through the swirl of melee with piles of dead in its wake, nothing can stop the Knights bloody advance.
Use the Stratagem in your Fight phase, when a QUESTOR IMPERIALIS VEHICLE model from your army makes a consolidation move. Until the end of the phase, when making that consolidation move, that model:
- Can move up to 6" instead of up to 3" (this is cumulative with the Vow of Honour Questor Allegiance Oath, meaning that such a model would move up to 7" when it consolidates this phase).
- Can move in any direction, provided it ends that consolidation move either within Engagement Range of an enemy model, or it ends that move at least 3" closer to your opponent’s battlefield edge.
MARTIAL PROWESS1CP/2CP
Imperial Knights – Battle Tactic Stratagem
The households place great emphasis on a Knights skill in combat, and they spend countless hours learning how to angle their Knights armour to deflect all but the most powerful blows.
Use this Stratagem in the fight phase when an IMPERIAL KNIGHTS VEHICLE unit from your army is selected as the target of an attack. Until the end of the phase, each time an attack is allocated to that model, add 1 to any armour saving throw taken against that attack. If that model is an ARMIGER-CLASS model, this Stratagem costs 1CP; otherwise, it costs 2CP.
NOBLE SACRIFICE1-3CP
Imperial Knights – Epic Deed Stratagem
Sensing their end drawing close, the pilot overloads their Knight's plasma core to take the enemy with them.
Use this Stratagem when an IMPERIAL KNIGHTS VEHICLE model from your army is destroyed. Do not roll to see if that model explodes: it does so automatically (if that model is a DOMINUS-CLASS model, roll one D6: on a 4+, the range of the explosion is 3D6"). If that model is an ARMIGER-CLASS model, this Stratagem costs 1CP; if that model is a QUESTORIS-CLASS model, this Stratagem costs 2CP; otherwise, it costs 3CP. You can only use this Stratagem once.
VALIANT LAST STAND1CP/2CP
Imperial Knights (Imperialis) – Epic Deed Stratagem
Badly wounded, their Knights generator on the verge of overload, still the Noble fights on, drawing upon their reserves of chivalric heroism to sell their life as dearly as they can.
Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when a QUESTOR IMPERIALIS model from your army that has not already been selected to fight this phase is destroyed (but did not explode). Do not remove that model from play - it can fight after the attacking model’s unit has finished making attacks. When resolving these attacks, assume the model has 1 wound remaining when determining which characteristics to use. After resolving the destroyed model’s attacks, it is then removed. If that model is an ARMIGER-CLASS model, this Stratagem costs 1CP; otherwise, it costs 2CP.
MACHINE SPIRIT RESURGENT1CP/2CP
Imperial Knights (Mechanicus) – Epic Deed Stratagem
Through the broadcasting of auto-sequenced data-hymnals, the pilot reinvigorates their Knights machine spirit, stoking its predatory ire and directing it at the foe.
Use this Stratagem in your Command phase. Select one QUESTOR MECHANICUS model from your army. Until the start of your next Command phase, that model is considered to have its full wounds remaining for the purposes of determining what characteristics on its profile to use. If that model is an ARMIGER-CLASS model, this Stratagem costs 1CP; otherwise, it costs 2CP.
CRUSHED1CP
Imperial Knights – Epic Deed Stratagem
The servo-articulated digits of the Knights fist close around the victim with piston pressure and begin to squeeze...
Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase when an attack made with Freedom’s Hand or a thunderstrike gauntlet (or a Relic that replaces such a weapon) by an IMPERIAL KNIGHTS model from your army is allocated to an enemy model. Before any saving throw is taken against that attack, both players roll off (if the Strength characteristic of this IMPERIAL KNIGHTS is greater than that of the model the attack has been allocated to, add 1 to your result). If you win the roll off, invulnerable saving throws cannot be taken against that attack; otherwise the Damage characteristic of that attack is 0.
BENEVOLENCE OF THE MACHINE GOD1CP
Imperial Knights (Mechanicus) – Epic Deed Stratagem
As the forces of the enemy rain destruction down upon the Knight, its Noble pilot offers up a binharic prayer to the Omnissiah for protection.
Use this Stratagem in any phase, when a QUESTOR MECHANICUS model from your army would lose a wound as the result of a mortal wound. Until the end of the phase, each time that model would lose a wound as the result of a mortal wound, roll one D6: on a 5+, that wound is not lost.
TROPHY CLAIM1CP
Imperial Knights – Epic Deed Stratagem
The worthiest of foes is the mightiest! Only against such enemies can you test your true mettle, and once such a foe is laid low the Knights emitters blare its triumph, announcing the glory and the honour brought to its House.
Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase when an IMPERIAL KNIGHTS model from your army destroys an enemy TITANIC unit with a melee attack.
- Until the end of the battle, add 1 to this model’s Attacks characteristic.
- If every unit from your army has the IMPERIAL KNIGHTS keyword (excluding units with the AGENT OF THE IMPERIUM or UNALIGNED keywords), you gain 1 Honour point.
- Until the end of the battle, when you are determining which Chivalric abilities are active for IMPERIAL KNIGHTS models in your army, this model always counts as if your army was Virtuous. This may mean that different Chivalric abilities are active for different models in your army.
OUR DARKEST HOUR1CP/2CP
House Taranis – Epic Deed Stratagem
Almost annihilated once before, the same tenacity that saved them then still runs in the Nobles’ blood and the veins of their Knights.
Use this Stratagem in any phase, when a HOUSE TARANIS CHARACTER model from your army is destroyed, but does not explode. Place a marker on the battlefield in the centre of where the destroyed model’s base was. You can choose to roll one D6 at the end of the phase instead of using any rules (other than Explodes, which must be rolled for first) that are triggered when that model is destroyed. If you do, then on a 4+, set that model back up on the battlefield as close as possible to the marker you placed and within 6" of that marker, and not within Engagement Range of any enemy models, with 3 wounds remaining. If it is not possible to set up the model, it is destroyed. This Stratagem can only be used once per battle. If that model is an ARMIGER-CLASS model, this Stratagem costs 1CP; otherwise, it costs 2CP.
STAUNCH ALLIES2CP
House Hawkshroud – Epic Deed Stratagem
So ingrained is House Hawkshroud’s reputation for loyalty that they won’t hesitate to come to an ally’s aid, storming in to join the fray.
Use this Stratagem in the Heroic Interventions step of your opponent’s Charge phase, before making any other Heroic Interventions (if any). Select one HOUSE HAWKSHROUD model from your army and one enemy unit that is within 12" horizontally and 5" vertically of it that made a charge move during this phase. Your model is eligible to perform a Heroic Intervention and when this model makes a Heroic Intervention move this phase, so long as it ends that move within Engagement Range of the enemy unit you selected, it can move up to 6+D6". All other rules for Heroic Interventions still apply. If your model successfully performs a Heroic Intervention, then in the subsequent Fight phase, it can fight first that phase.
DRAGON SLAYER2CP
House Griffith – Epic Deed Stratagem
The Nobles of House Griffith have a long and proud history of ruthlessly hunting down and expertly slaying the most monstrous of foes.
Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when a HOUSE GRIFFITH model from your army is selected to shoot, or in the Fight phase, when a HOUSE GRIFFITH model from your army is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, each time that model makes an attack, if the target of that attack contains any VEHICLE or MONSTER models, add 1 to that attack’s wound roll.
GLORY IN HONOUR1CP
House Terryn – Epic Deed Stratagem
Drawing upon the heroism that is their birthright and inspired by the spirits of the Noble ancients within their Throne Mechanicum, the pilot unleashes their full fury upon the foe.
Use this Stratagem in the fight phase when a HOUSE TERRYN model from your army is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase:
- Add 1 to that model’s Attacks characteristic.
- Each time that model makes a melee attack, re-roll a hit roll of 1.
ORDER OF COMPANIONS1CP
House Raven – Requisition Stratagem
The Order of Companions use little in the way of visible markings to denote their elite status, but instead maintain constant noospheric communication to aid each other in battle. The first warning most enemies receive that such warriors are coordinating their demise is when a volley of fire tears through their ranks.
Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army, if your WARLORD has the HOUSE RAVEN keyword. Select one HOUSE RAVEN QUESTORIS-CLASS model from your army. That model gains the following ability:
Order of Companions: Each time this model is selected to shoot or fight, you can re-roll one hit roll, one wound roll or one damage roll when resolving that model’s attacks.
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).
Order of Companions: Each time this model is selected to shoot or fight, you can re-roll one hit roll, one wound roll or one damage roll when resolving that model’s attacks.
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).
HEIRLOOMS OF THE HOUSEHOLD1CP
Imperial Knights – Requisition Stratagem
The catacombs beneath many knightly strongholds delve deep, and are replete with ancient technological wonders.
Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army, if your WARLORD has the IMPERIAL KNIGHTS keyword. Select one IMPERIAL KNIGHTS model from your army. That model can have one Heirloom Relic, even if they are not a CHARACTER model (this must be a Relic they could have). Each Relic in your army must be unique, and you cannot use this Stratagem to give a model two 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).
KNIGHT BARON1CP
Imperial Knights – Requisition Stratagem
It is a truly glorious day for the Imperium when the Barons of the noble households take to the battlefield, for these storied heroes bring wisdom and strength in equal measure.
Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army, if your WARLORD has the IMPERIAL KNIGHTS keyword. Select one IMPERIAL KNIGHTS model from your army (excluding named characters). That model gains the CHARACTER keyword and you must determine one Warlord Trait for it (this must be a Warlord Trait it can have); that model is only regarded as your Warlord for the purposes of that Warlord Trait. 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).
REVERED PARAGON1CP
Imperial Knights – Requisition Stratagem
Either through countless martial triumphs or by one truly heroic act, this Knight champion has distinguished themselves above and beyond their peers and is a true paragon of their house.
Use this Stratagem after nominating an IMPERIAL KNIGHTS CHARACTER model to be your WARLORD. You can generate one additional Warlord Trait for them. Each Warlord Trait in your army must be unique (if randomly generated, re-roll duplicate results). You can only use this Stratagem once and you cannot use this Stratagem if your WARLORD is a named character.
EXACTING CHARGE1CP/2CP
Imperial Knights – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
During every thunderous step of their charge, the Nobles of this household are utterly focused. When their strike hits home, it is with piercing precision.
Use this Stratagem in your Charge phase, when an IMPERIAL KNIGHTS VEHICLE model from your army finishes a charge move. Select one enemy unit within Engagement Range of your model and roll four D6s (if this model is TITANIC, roll six D6s instead). For each dice result that equals or exceeds that enemy unit’s Toughness characteristic, it suffers 1 mortal wound; for each unmodified roll of a 6, that enemy unit instead suffers 2 mortal wounds. If this model is an ARMIGER-CLASS model, this Stratagem costs 1CP; otherwise, it costs 2CP.
STORMSTRIDERS1CP
Imperial Knights (Imperialis) – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
Nothing can halt the ever moving Knights of this household, their path punctuated with wrathful strikes.
Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase, when you select one QUESTOR IMPERIALIS TITANIC model from your army to make a Normal Move or Advance. After this model has moved, select one enemy unit it moved across (excluding AIRCRAFT units) and roll one D6. Add 1 to the result if that enemy unit contains between 6-10 models, and add 2 to the result if that enemy unit contains 11 or more models: on a 3-6, that enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds; on a 7+, that unit suffers D6 mortal wounds.
POINT BLANK BARRAGE1CP
Imperial Knights – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
Imperial Knights know too well that, despite the dangers, a point blank barrage can mean the difference between victory and defeat.
Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when an IMPERIAL KNIGHTS model from your army is selected to shoot. Until the end of the phase:
- That model can make attacks with Blast weapons against units within Engagement Range of it.
- Each time this model makes an attack with a Blast weapon against a unit within Engagement Range of it, on an unmodified hit roll of 1, this model suffers 1 mortal wound after all of its attacks have been resolved.
BIO-SCRYER COGITATOR ARRAY1CP/2CP
House Cadmus – Wargear Stratagem
Some Knights of Cadmus use cogitator arrays within their cockpits, salvaged from Gryphonne IV, that allows them to track their prey.
Use this Stratagem at the end of the Reinforcements step of your opponent’s Movement phase. Select one HOUSE CADMUS model from your army that is not within Engagement Range of any enemy units. That unit can shoot as if it were your Shooting phase, but its models can only target a single eligible enemy unit that was set up as Reinforcements this turn and that is within 12" of them when doing so. If that model is an ARMIGER-CLASS model, this Stratagem costs 1CP; otherwise, it costs 2CP.
CHAINSWEEP1CP
Imperial Knights – Wargear Stratagem
With a snarl, the Noble swings their Knights chainsword in a howling arc that rips through the enemy ranks and sends sundered foes tumbling through the blood-misted air.
Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase when an IMPERIAL KNIGHTS model from your army that is equipped with a reaper chainsword or reaper chain-cleaver (or a Relic that replaces such a weapon) is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, each time that model makes an attack, you can never re-roll that attacks hit roll, but if that attack is made using the Sweep profile of a reaper chainsword or reaper chain-cleaver (or a Relic that replaces such a weapon), make 1 additional hit roll.
ROTATE ION SHIELDS1CP/2CP
Imperial Knights – Wargear Stratagem
Veteran Knight pilots can swiftly angle their ion shields to better defect incoming fire.
Use this Stratagem in your opponent’s Shooting phase, when an IMPERIAL KNIGHTS VEHICLE model from your army is selected as the target of a ranged attack. Until the end of the phase, that model has a 4+ invulnerable save against ranged attacks. If that model is an ARMIGER-CLASS model, this Stratagem costs 1CP; otherwise, it costs 2CP.
HURLED WRECKAGE1CP
Imperial Knights – Wargear Stratagem
Spying another brutish silhouette, the Noble unerringly hurls the remains of their Knights victim towards it.
Use this Stratagem at the end of the Fight phase. Select one IMPERIAL KNIGHTS model from your army equipped with Freedom’s Hand or a thunderstrike gauntlet (or a Relic that replaces such a weapon). If a VEHICLE or MONSTER model was destroyed within Engagement Range of the selected IMPERIAL KNIGHTS model during that phase, you can now select one enemy unit within 9" of and visible to that IMPERIAL KNIGHTS model that is not within engagement range of any friendly units. Roll one D6, subtracting 1 from the result if the enemy unit you selected is a CHARACTER with a Wounds characteristic of 9 or less: on a 3-5, that enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds; on a 6, that enemy unit suffers 3 mortal wounds.
Exalted Court
Master of Justice
The Master of Justice is the executor of the High Monarchs military might, and their superior skill on the battlefield is unquestionable. In addition to their role as chief military advisor, they are typically styled the Executioner of the Household, an unmerciful station that punishes wrongdoing both in the courtrooms and on the battlefield, and ensures that the household’s entire efforts remain focused on winning the war.
- QUESTOR IMPERIALIS CHARACTER only.
- When you select this upgrade, select one Questor Imperialis Martial Tradition that no model in your army has (you cannot select Glorified History) - this model gains that Martial Tradition in addition to any others it has.
- Noble Exemplar ability: Once per battle, when you use an Imperial Knights Strategic Ploy Stratagem, if the model you select to use that Strategic Ploy is under the effects of this models Bondsman ability, then that Stratagem costs 0 Command points.
- Crusade Duty: If this model is in your Crusade force, at the end of the battle, if you won, roll one D6: on a 4+, you gain 1 additional Requisition point.
High Monarch
The High Monarch is the Noble who exemplifies the honour of their house and uphold the Code Chivalric. They’re in charge, they’re expert warriors, and they inspire great loyalty in their aspiring Nobles.
QUESTOR IMPERIALIS CHARACTER only.- If this model is included in your army, it must be your WARLORD. If more than one model in your army has a rule to this effect, then one of those models must be your army’s WARLORD.
- Each time your army gains an Honour point, roll one D6: on a 5+, you gain 1 additional Honour point.
- Noble Exemplar ability: Each time this model uses its Bondsman ability, it also applies to every friendly ARMIGER-CLASS model within 6" of this model.
- Crusade Duty: While this model is in your Crusade Force, each time you use the Exalted Court Requisition, it costs 1 fewer Requisition points to use.
Monarchsward
To be Monarchsward is a great honour and burden, given not just to a superlative warrior, but to one whose loyalty is more firm than adamantine. In battle, the Monarchsward matches their charge stride for stride, always angling their Knights, and their ion shields, to best protect their charge. And, as they protect their liege, so too does a Monarchsward’s bondsmen act to protect them. At battles end, it is their duty to stand sentinel over those comrades who fell in battle, protecting their wounded forms while a rescue and recovery can be mounted.
- QUESTOR IMPERIALIS CHARACTER only.
- While another friendly CHARACTER model is within 3" of this unit, enemy models cannot target that CHARACTER model with ranged attacks unless it is the closest eligible target to the attacking model.
- Noble Exemplar ability: While an ARMIGER-CLASS model is under the effects of this model’s Bondsman ability, at the start of the Fight phase, if that ARMIGER-CLASS model is within Engagement Range of any enemy units, it can fight first that phase.
- Crusade Duty: If this model is part of your Crusade force, and if it was not destroyed during the battle, then at the end of the battle you can ignore one failed Out of Action test taken for one model from your Crusade force - that test is treated as having been passed instead.
Gatekeeper
The Gatekeeper is tasked with the solemn duty of protection. To them falls the sacred honour of defending the strongholds of the household, a tradition that stretches back to the Long Night.
QUESTOR IMPERIALIS CHARACTER only.- While this model is wholly within your deployment zone, each time an attack is made against this model, 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.
- Noble Exemplar ability: While an ARMIGER-CLASS model is under the effects of this model’s Bondsman ability, while that ARMIGER-CLASS model is in range of an objective marker, add 1 to that model’s Toughness characteristic.
- Crusade Duty: If this unit is part of your Crusade force and you are the Defender, then you start the battle with 1 additional Command point.
Herald
A Herald’s duties are plentiful, but mercifully streamlined upon the battlefield. The Herald ensures the fanfare - trumpet-blasts blared through his vox-grilles - as befits each Knight who enters the battlefield. It is the Heralds role to issue first warning of enemy attacks, and the ion shields of the entire household pivot upon his alerts. Finally, from a central position, they also relay vox orders and lays down supporting firepower.
QUESTOR IMPERIALIS CHARACTER only.- Each time a friendly model uses a Bondsman ability, if they are within 9" of this Herald, they can select one ARMIGER-CLASS model that is within 9" of this Herald for that Bondsman ability to apply to.
- Noble Exemplar ability: While an ARMIGER-CLASS model is under the effects of this model’s Bondsman ability, that ARMIGER-CLASS model has a 4+ invulnerable save.
- Crusade Duty: While this model is in your Crusade Force, each time you use the Specialist Reinforcements or the Warlord Trait Requisition, it costs 1 fewer Requisition points to use.
Princeps
The Princeps is in charge of the entire household, juggling the needs of both logic and honour. Even the most stubborn and prideful Knight will submit to the will of the Princeps.
QUESTOR MECHANICUS CHARACTER model only.- If this model is included in your army, it must be your WARLORD. If more than one model in your army has a rule to this effect, then one of those models must be your army’s WARLORD.
- Each time your army would lose an Honour point, roll one D6: on a 5+, that Honour point is not lost.
- Noble Exemplar ability: Once per Command phase, when this model uses its Bondsman ability, it can select a QUESTORIS-CLASS model (excluding itself) for that ability to apply to instead of an ARMIGER-CLASS model.
- Crusade Duty: While this model is in your Crusade force, each time you use the Exalted Court Requisition, it costs 1 fewer Requisition points to use.
Forge Master
To the Forge Master falls the defence of the household’s home. Amongst their duties are the protection of the keep’s heirlooms and the entire armies of Sacristans. They command utmost authority in mustering the household to protect their strongholds. Their Knights are expected to endure some of the worst punishment, and is accordingly the one most ministered to by the Sacristans.
QUESTOR MECHANICUS CHARACTER model only.- While this model is wholly within your deployment zone, each time a wound is allocated to it, reduce the Damage characteristic of that attack by 1 (to a minimum of 1). This is not cumulative with any other rules that reduce the Damage characteristic of an attack.
- Noble Exemplar ability: While an ARMIGER-CLASS model is under the effects of this model’s Bondsman ability, each time that ARMIGER-CLASS model makes an attack against a unit that is within your deployment zone, add 1 to that attack’s hit roll and add 1 to that attack’s wound roll.
- Crusade Duty: While this model is in your Crusade force, each time you use the Relic or the Repair and Recuperate Requisition, it costs 1 fewer Requisition points to use.
Master Tactician
Master Tacticians are one of the very best fighters of their household. They can be trusted to cogitate numerous potential battlefield strategies at once, lead armies of Knights in the Princeps’ absence and provide sage wisdom on any course of action decided by a superior.
QUESTOR MECHANICUS CHARACTER model only.- When you select this upgrade, select one Questor Mechanicus Martial Tradition that no model in your army has (you cannot select Fealty to the Cog) - this model gains that Martial Tradition in addition to any others it has.
- Noble Exemplar ability: Once per battle, when you use an Imperial Knights Battle Tactic Stratagem, if the model you select to use that Battle Tactic Stratagem is under the effects of a Bondsman ability, then that Stratagem costs 0 Command points.
- Crusade Duty: If this unit is part of your Crusade force and you are the Attacker, then you start the battle with 1 additional Command point.
Master of Lore
The Master of Lore, the keeper of sacred data, the Cogitator Prime. They are the lord of their household’s traditions, the guardian of its valued principles as well as the adjudicator and judge whenever transgressions against the house or the Code Chivalric occur.
QUESTOR MECHANICUS CHARACTER model only.- If this model is a KNIGHT PRECEPTOR, in your Command phase, it can recount one additional teaching it knows that has not already been recounted by a friendly model that turn.
- If this model is not a KNIGHT PRECEPTOR, it gains the MENTOR keyword and it knows one teaching from the Knightly Teachings and, in your Command phase, if this model is on the battlefield, it can recount one teaching it knows that has not already been recounted by a friendly model this turn. Roll one D6: on a 3+, the recounted teaching is inspiring and takes effect until the start of your next Command phase.
- Noble Exemplar ability: Each time this model uses its Bondsman ability on a model that is already under the effects of a Bondsman ability, the new ability applies to it in addition to the existing one, instead of replacing it.
- Crusade Duty: While this model is in your Crusade Force, each time you use the Arts of War Duty Requisition, it costs 0 Requisition points to use.
Master of Vox
The Master of Vox, sometimes known as a Broadhailer, bears the internal comms equipment that can network together all the fighting detachments of the households Knights as well as broadcast vox hails to distant allies.
QUESTOR MECHANICUS CHARACTER model only.- While this model is on the battlefield, each time you spend a Command point to use a Stratagem you can roll one D6: on a 5+, that Command point is refunded.
- Noble Exemplar ability: Each time this model uses its Bondsman ability, it can select any ARMIGER-CLASS model on the battlefield for that ability.
- Crusade Duty: If this unit is part of your Crusade force and you are using the Strategic Reserves rule, you can halve the Command point cost required to place units into Strategic Reserves (rounding fractions down).
This datasheet has Lords of War Battlefield Role. Full list of Imperial Knights units sharing same Battlefield Role follows:
Lords of War
HEAVY
Heavy weapons are amongst the biggest guns on the battlefield, but they require bracing to fire at full effect and are unwieldy to bring to bear at close quarters.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.
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.
Ironstorm missile pod used in the following datasheets:
Lords of War
Indirect Fire Weapons
An Indirect Fire weapon is one that can target units that are not visible to the bearer (e.g. mortars, smart-missile systems, impaler cannons, etc.). If such a weapon targets a unit that is not visible (i.e. no models in a target unit are visible to the firing unit when you selected it as a target), then each time an attack is made with that weapon against that target this phase, worsen the Ballistic Skill characteristic of that attack by 1 and add 1 to any armour saving throws made against that attack.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.

Lords of War
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.

Code Chivalric
Imperial Knights fight by a stringent set of codes to ensure that in addition to defeating the enemy, honour is always upheld.
If every unit from your army has the IMPERIAL KNIGHTS keyword (excluding units with the AGENT OF THE IMPERIUM or UNALIGNED keywords) and all of those units (excluding FREEBLADES) are from the same noble household, then when you write your army list you must also swear 2 Oaths from those in the following tables, and make a note of them on your army list.
You will start the battle with 1 Honour point. You can gain Honour points during the battle, typically by completing the Pledge of your selected Oaths. You can also lose Honour points during the battle, typically when the Troth of your selected Oaths applies. You can never have less than 0 Honour points, or more than 6. At the start of each battle round, consult the table below to determine your army’s current level of Honour.
Models with this ability will then gain a number of Chivalric abilities depending on which are active for your army, as follows:You will start the battle with 1 Honour point. You can gain Honour points during the battle, typically by completing the Pledge of your selected Oaths. You can also lose Honour points during the battle, typically when the Troth of your selected Oaths applies. You can never have less than 0 Honour points, or more than 6. At the start of each battle round, consult the table below to determine your army’s current level of Honour.
| ||||||||||
- Whilst your army is Dishonoured, the Honoured and Virtuous Chivalric abilities from your selected Oaths are not active.
- Whilst your army is Honoured, the Honoured Chivalric ability from your selected Oaths are active for all IMPERIAL KNIGHTS units in your army, but the Virtuous Chivalric abilities from your selected Oaths are not active.
- Whilst your army is Virtuous, the Honoured and Virtuous Chivalric abilities from your selected Oaths are active for all IMPERIAL KNIGHTS units in your army.
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.
Charging with a Unit
Once you have chosen an eligible unit to declare a charge with, you must select one or more enemy units within 12" of it as the targets of its charge. The target(s) of this charge do not need to be visible to the charging unit. You then make a charge roll for your unit by rolling 2D6. This is the maximum number of inches each model in the charging unit can now be moved if they can make the charge move. To make a charge move, the unit’s charge roll must be sufficient that it is able to end that move in unit coherency and within Engagement Range of every unit that was a target of its charge, without moving within Engagement Range of any enemy units that were not a target of its charge. If this is possible, then the charge is successful and the models in the unit make a charge move so as to fulfil the above conditions. If this is impossible, the charge fails and no models in the charging unit move this phase.- Declare targets of the charge (must be within 12").
- Charge roll = 2D6".
- If insufficient to move charging unit into Engagement Range of all targets, charge fails.
- If charge successful, models make their charge move.
- Cannot make a charge move within Engagement Range of any unit that was not the target of the charge.
Normal Move
When a unit makes a Normal Move, each model in that unit can move a distance in inches equal to or less than the Move (M) characteristic shown on its datasheet, but no model can be moved within Engagement Range of enemy models.- Normal Move: Models move up to M".
- Cannot move within Engagement Range of any enemy models.
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.
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.
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.

The Warlord
While mustering your army, you can nominate one model (except a model with the FORTIFICATION keyword) to be your Warlord. That model gains the WARLORD keyword. If this model is a CHARACTER, you can also assign a Warlord Trait to it. Note, that more than one model in your army can have a Warlord Trait (e.g. by using Stratagems), but they are only considered your Warlord for the purpose of that trait.
Warlord Traits
Warlord Trait is a bonus that your Warlord receives upon being nominated. Such Traits can be found in Codices, Supplements and another Games Workshop publications. Any Warlord can have the Inspiring Leader Warlord Trait. Normally, only one Warlord Trait can be given to the Warlord, but there are ways to bypass this restriction (e.g. by using Stratagems). You can choose a Warlord Trait randomly by rolling a dice, or simply pick one. Note, that named characters usually have predetermined Warlord Traits and receive them after being nominated as Warlord.

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.

When an aspiring Knight has the honour of serving a venerated hero, they will refuse to yield while their appointed task remains unfinished, lest they bring shame on their name and that of their household.
Some IMPERIAL KNIGHTS have a Bondsman ability, which they can use to affect friendly models. A model can only be affected by 1 Bondsman ability at a time though. If an IMPERIAL KNIGHTS model is being affected by a Bondsman ability when it is selected to be affected by another Bondsman ability, the new ability replaces the old one immediately. While an ARMIGER-CLASS model is being affected by a Bondsman ability, if your army is either Honoured or Virtuous, in addition to any other effects, each time an attack is allocated against that model, subtract 1 from the Damage characteristic of that attack (to a minimum of 1).- Can only be affected by 1 Bondsman ability at the same time.
- While your army is Honoured or Virtuous, subtract 1 from Damage characteristic of attacks made against an ARMIGER-CLASS model while it is under the effects of a Bondsman ability.
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.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
- Starting number of Command points varies with battle size.
Requisition Points
Requisition points can be used to purchase Requisitions: these can upgrade your Crusade force, or units within them. Each time you spend a Requisition point, reduce your total by 1. Any Requisition points you do not spend are saved and can be used later. As you play more battles, you can accrue additional Requisition points, but a Crusade force can never have more than 5 (any additional Requisition points acquired beyond this are lost). Each time you play a battle, you will gain 1 Requisition point after that battle has been completed, regardless of the result of the battle itself. You should keep track of how many Requisition points you have on your Order of Battle.The Requisitions you can purchase can be found here. Each Requisition will tell you when it can be purchased; they can never be purchased during a battle. Unless stated otherwise, there is no limit on the number of Requisitions you can purchase, the number of times you can purchase each Requisition, nor on the combination of Requisitions you can purchase, so long as you have enough Requisition points. If you do not have enough Requisition points to purchase a Requisition, you cannot purchase it.
- Requisitions cost Requisition points to purchase.
- You can never have more than 5 Requisition points.
- Each battle you play earns you 1 Requisition point (win, lose or draw).

Purchase this Requisition when you add a Crusade card for a unit to your Order of Battle. If there is a Stratagem that could upgrade this unit to give it either a better characteristic profile and/or abilities, you can use that Stratagem to upgrade that unit for free, even if you would not normally have access to such a Stratagem unless your army includes a specific Detachment. Make a note of the upgrades afforded by that Stratagem on the unit’s Crusade card, and add 1 to its Crusade points total for each Command point that the Stratagem would have cost (so +1 Crusade point if the Stratagem would have cost 1 Command point, +2 Crusade points if it would have cost 2 Command points and so on). This upgrade is permanent, and cannot be removed or changed. You cannot use this Requisition to give a CHARACTER a Relic or a Warlord Trait*, and you cannot use Stratagems that upgrade the unit to be part of a Specialist Detachment.
WARLORD TRAIT1RP
Purchase this Requisition when you add a Crusade card for a CHARACTER unit to your Order of Battle, or when a CHARACTER in your Order of Battle gains a rank. You can give that CHARACTER one Warlord Trait (even if they are not your Warlord - in battle, this CHARACTER is only considered your Warlord for the purposes of this trait). This must still be a Warlord Trait it can have; any Warlord can have the Inspiring Leader Warlord Trait (see below). Alternative Warlord Traits can be found in other publications. Make a note of the Warlord Trait on the unit’s Crusade card and add 1 to its Crusade points total (+2 instead if the CHARACTER is TITANIC). This Warlord Trait is permanent to this unit, and cannot be removed or changed. No model can have more than one Warlord Trait and the same Warlord Trait cannot be included more than once by any model in your Order of Battle.*
Inspiring Leader (Warlord Trait, Aura)

Purchase this Requisition when you add a Crusade card for a CHARACTER unit to your Order of Battle, or when a CHARACTER unit in your Order of Battle gains a rank. You can give one CHARACTER model in that unit one Relic (excluding Crusade Relics). This must still be a Relic it can have, and it cannot be a Relic that replaces a weapon this CHARACTER is equipped with if the weapon in question has been upgraded by a Weapon Enhancement or a Crusade Relic (e.g. Artificer Weapon). Make a note of the Relic on the unit’s Crusade card and add 1 to its Crusade points total (+2 instead if the CHARACTER is TITANIC). This upgrade is permanent to this unit, and cannot be removed or changed. No model can have more than one Relic and the same Relic cannot be included more than once by any model in your Order of Battle.*
REPAIR AND RECUPERATE1RP
Purchase this Requisition either before or after a battle. Select one Crusade card from your Order of Battle that has one or more Battle Scars. Select one of that unit’s Battle Scars and remove it from its Crusade card (remember that for each Battle Scar removed, the unit's Crusade points will effectively increase by 1).

Some rules instruct players to roll off. To do so, both players roll one D6, and whoever scores highest wins the roll-off. If there is a tie for the highest roll, make the roll-off again. Neither player is allowed to re-roll or modify any of the D6 when making a roll-off.- Roll-off: Both players roll a D6 – highest wins.
- Roll again if a tie.
