The sons of Dorn maintain strict fire discipline, standing shoulder to shoulder as they unleash devastating volleys of bolt rounds into the foe.

Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when you choose an IMPERIAL FISTS CORE or IMPERIAL FISTS CHARACTER unit from your army to shoot with.

MASTERFUL DUELLISTS1CP/2CP

Strike Force Rhalion – Boarding Actions – Battle Tactic Stratagem

Those warriors schooled in combat by Lieutenant Leodas demonstrate a particular duellists skill at close quarters. Their flair and fury swiftly see their enemies’ defences laid bare.

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when a STRIKE FORCE RHALION unit from your army is selected as the target of an attack. Until the end of the phase, each time an attack is made against that unit, an unmodified hit roll of 1-3 for that attack fails, irrespective of any abilities that the weapon or the model making the attack may have. If that unit has the TERMINATOR keyword, this Stratagem costs 2CP; otherwise, it costs 1CP.

LINE UNBREAKABLE1CP

Dark Angels – Battle Tactic Stratagem

Many foes have charged the Dark Angels’ lines, only to be met by an unbreakable wall of ceramite.

Use this Stratagem at the start of the Fight phase. Select one DARK ANGELS INFANTRY unit from your army. Until the end of the phase, that unit can only be selected as a target for melee attacks if the attacking model is within Engagement Range of it (note that this means that enemy models that are not within Engagement Range but are within 1/2" of a model from their own unit that is itself within 1/2" of this DARK ANGELS INFANTRY unit cannot target it with melee attacks this phase).

THE SHIELD UNWAVERING2CP

Imperial Fists – Battle Tactic Stratagem

Once the Imperial Fists have captured a site of strategic importance, they dig in and hold their position no matter what the enemy hurls at them.

Use this Stratagem at the end of your Morale phase. Select one IMPERIAL FISTS INFANTRY unit from your army that is within 3" of any objective markers. Until the start of your next turn, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of models in that unit, and when resolving an attack made against that unit, add 1 to the saving throw (excluding invulnerable saves).

THE CRUCIBLE OF BATTLE1CP

Salamanders – Battle Tactic Stratagem

Only where the battle is fiercest and the enemy can be faced eye to eye can the Salamanders truly be tested.

Use this Stratagem in the Shooting or Fight phase, when a SALAMANDERS CORE or SALAMANDERS CHARACTER unit from your army is chosen to shoot or fight with. Until the end of that phase, when resolving an attack made by a model in that unit, add 1 to the wound roll.

STRENGTH OF THE PRIMARCH1CP

Salamanders – Battle Tactic Stratagem

STAND YOUR GROUND1CP

Salamanders – Battle Tactic Stratagem

Such is their famed endurance that the Salamanders are able to stand firm amidst storms of small-arms fire and lesser blows.

Use this Stratagem in any phase, when a SALAMANDERS INFANTRY unit from your army that is not a SERVITOR and did not Advance in this phase or your previous Movement phase is chosen as the target for an attack. Until the end of that phase, when resolving an attack made with a weapon that has a Damage characteristic of 1 against a model in that unit, add 1 to the saving throw. This does not affect invulnerable saving throws.

AGGRESSIVE ONSLAUGHT1CP

Flesh Tearers – Battle Tactic Stratagem

With a zealous cry, the Black Templars press forward towards victory.

Use this Stratagem at the start of the Fight phase. Select one BLACK TEMPLARS CORE or BLACK TEMPLARS CHARACTER unit from your army, then select one of the following:

If that unit is not within Engagement Range of an enemy unit, make a Normal Move of up to 3" with that unit. It must end this move either closer to the closest enemy unit or closer to the closest objective marker. That unit cannot use this move to embark within a TRANSPORT model.
If that unit is within Engagement Range of any enemy units, make a pile-in move with that unit.

CRUSADER’S WRATH2CP

Black Templars – Battle Tactic Stratagem

At a critical point in the battle, the Black Templar host channels its fervour into their strikes, breaking the back of the enemy force in a hatred-fuelled flurry of blows.

Use this Stratagem in your Command phase, if the Assault doctrine is active for your army. Until the start of your next Command phase, each time a BLACK TEMPLARS model from your army makes an attack with a Pistol or Melee weapon, on an unmodified wound roll of 6, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.

If, when it was selected to fight, that unit was within Engagement Range of an enemy unit containing more models than itself, then until the end of the phase, each time a model in that SILVER TEMPLARS unit makes an attack:

Add 1 to the Strength characteristic of that attack.
Improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.

CAST OUT THY BLACKENED SOUL2CP

Exorcists – Battle Tactic Stratagem

Daemonic possession gives each battle-brother of the Exorcists a personal revelation about the nature of daemonkind, and with this knowledge they banish their foe.

NO CLEMENCY1CP/2CP

Space Marines – Iron Hands – Boarding Actions – Battle Tactic Stratagem

A VIGIL UNMATCHED1CP

Iron Hands – Requisition Stratagem

It is not a difficult sum for a warrior of the Iron Hands to cogitate, that his commanding officers’ lives are worth more to the Imperium than his own.

Use this Stratagem at the start of the Shooting phase. Select one IRON HANDS INFANTRY unit from your army. Until the end of the phase, when a friendly IRON HANDS CHARACTER model (excluding VEHICLE models) within 3" of that unit would lose any wounds as a result of an attack made against that model, that unit can attempt to intercept that attack. Roll one D6 before any rolls to ignore wounds (e.g. The Flesh is Weak, Adamantine Mantle etc.) are made; on a 2+ that model does not lose those wounds and that unit suffers 1 mortal wound for each of those wounds. Only one attempt can be made to intercept each attack.

TOKEN OF BROTHERHOOD1CP

Raven Guard – Requisition Stratagem

Pomp and ceremony are of little worth to Corax’s gene-sons, who instead favour tangible acts of faith and comradeship.

Use this Stratagem after nominating a model drawn from a Raven Guard successor Chapter to be your Warlord.

HERO OF THE CHAPTER1CP

Adeptus Astartes – Requisition Stratagem

Every Space Marine is a champion in their own right, a posthuman demigod who stands between Mankind and the darkness.

Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army, if your WARLORD has the ADEPTUS ASTARTES keyword.

Chapter Command

Chapter Master

Chapter Masters are some of the greatest military minds in the galaxy. There are few elements of strategy and tactics they have not studied and mastered, and they have tested their skills against innumerable enemies. They are magnificent leaders able to inspire their warriors to acts of legendary valour. There is no task to which they will set their battle-brothers that they have not completed themselves, and when they lead from the front, they wield their blades with incomparable ability, slaughtering more of the foe than any of their warriors.

ABILITIES
A CHAPTER MASTER model gains the following ability:

'Chapter Master: In your Command phase, select one friendly CORE or CHARACTER unit within 6" of this model. Until the start of your next Command phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, you can re-roll the hit roll'.

A CHAPTER MASTER is excluded from the Company Command rule. This means a Detachment can include both one CHAPTER MASTER unit and one other CAPTAIN unit.

RELICS AND WARLORD TRAITS
You can give a CHAPTER MASTER model the Angel Artifice Relic, instead of giving them a Chapter Relic. In addition, you can give them the Master of the Codex Warlord Trait instead of giving them another Warlord Trait.

Master of the Codex (Warlord Trait)

Chapter Masters have spent centuries studying the hallowed pages of the Codex Astartes, poring over its wisdom and analysing its teachings in detail. Many commit its content to memory word for word, ready to draw upon what they have learned even when battle is raging at its fiercest.

At the start of your Command phase, if this WARLORD is on the battlefield, roll one D6: on a 4+, you gain 1 Command point.

Angel Artifice (Relic)

The surface of this exquisite battle plate is woven with a super-dense alloy, the exact nature of which has been lost to history. Whatever its origin, it absorbs and refracts incoming energy, rendering the wearer all but invulnerable. Such a priceless relic is bestowed upon only the greatest heroes of the Adeptus Astartes.

The bearer has a Save characteristic of 2+.
Add 1 to the bearer's Wounds and Toughness characteristics.

Captain with Master-crafted Heavy Bolt Rifle
