Datasheet-related Stratagems

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.

OCULAR NETWORKING1CP

Vanguard Spearhead – Battle Tactic Stratagem

When fighting as part of Vanguard Spearhead, Space Marines utilise the sophisticated ocular systems of their Phobos armour to greater efficacy. Sharing combat data across inter-squad networks, they identify weaknesses in even the most resilient foe, deficiencies which precise attacks can take advantage of.

Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase or the Fight phase, when a VANGUARD SPEARHEAD unit from your army is selected to shoot or fight. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack that targets a MONSTER or VEHICLE unit, on an unmodified wound roll of 6, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 2 (this is cumulative with the bonus gained from the Combat Doctrines ability).

Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes a melee attack, add 1 to that attack’s wound roll. If that unit contains 5 or fewer models, this Stratagem costs 1CP; otherwise, it costs 2CP.

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when an EMPEROR’S SPEARS INFANTRY unit from your army is selected to fight. Select one enemy unit within Engagement Range of that unit and one or more other friendly EMPEROR’S SPEARS INFANTRY units.

Space Wolves – Battle Tactic Stratagem

Learned in arcane biomechanics and chirurgery, Wolf Priests apply their rough surgery, shamanistic rites and medicinal balms to drag warriors back from the gates of Morkai’s realm of death.

Use this Stratagem at the end of your Movement phase. Select one SPACE WOLVES INFANTRY, SPACE WOLVES BIKER or SPACE WOLVES CAVALRY model from your army within 3" of a friendly SPACE WOLVES WOLF PRIEST to be healed. That model regains up to D3 lost wounds. Each model can only be healed once per turn.

CAST OUT THY BLACKENED SOUL2CP

Exorcists – Battle Tactic Stratagem

CLAIM RUNES1CP

When faced with overwhelming numbers, the Silver Templars employ a system of rune-marking their chosen targets on their autosenses, allowing for pinpoint and hyper-efficient slaughter.

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when a SILVER TEMPLARS PRIMARIS unit from your army is selected to fight. 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.

AGGRESSIVE ONSLAUGHT1CP

FURIOUS MOMENTUM1CP

Use this Stratagem after nominating a model drawn from an Imperial Fists successor Chapter to be your WARLORD.

There are few more meaningful tokens of brotherhood among the sons of Russ than the gifting of a war trophy - heavy with glory and steeped in tales of honour -from one warrior to another.

Use this Stratagem after nominating a model drawn from a Space Wolves successor Chapter to be your WARLORD. You can give one Relic of the Fang to a CHARACTER model from your army that is drawn from a Space Wolves successor Chapter instead of giving them a Special-issue Wargear Relic or a Chapter Relic from Codex: Space Marines.

You can generate one additional Warlord Trait for them; this must be from the Space Wolves Warlord Traits table. Each Warlord Trait in your army must be unique (if randomly generated, re-roll duplicate results) and that model has access to each Saga associated with their Warlord Traits. You can only use this Stratagem once.

ORISON CULT1CP/2CP

Exorcists – Requisition Stratagem

The Chapter houses a series of cults, each a proud sub-sect with traditions and associations concerning the role of a battle-brother on the battlefield.

Once per battle, in your Command phase, you can select that combat doctrine to be active for that unit instead of any other combat doctrine until the start of your next Command phase.

HONOURED BY THE ARX ANGELICUM1CP

ANGEL EXEMPLAR1CP

Blood Angels – Requisition Stratagem

The noble lords of the Blood Angels are mighty warriors indeed, but even within this exalted brotherhood, some heroic individuals stand out amongst their peers.

Use this Stratagem after nominating a BLOOD ANGELS CHARACTER model that is not a named character to be your WARLORD. You can generate one additional Warlord Trait for them. If this model is from the Blood Angels or one of their successor Chapters (other than the Flesh Tearers), this must be from the Blood Angels Warlord Traits table. If this model is from the Flesh Tearers Chapter, this must be from the Flesh Tearers Warlord Traits table instead. Each Warlord Trait in your army must be unique (if randomly generated, re-roll duplicate results). You can only use this Stratagem once.

DISPERSAL PROTOCOLS2CP

Vanguard Spearhead – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

Vanguard squads are trained to rapidly disengage from their foe, moving to new positions before attacking once more.

BUTCHERED QUARRY1CP

White Scars – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

Many attempt to flee from the White Scars’ wrath like prey put to flight. Yet the huntsmen of Chogoris are not so easily evaded.

Use this Stratagem when an enemy unit Falls Back within 1" of any WHITE SCARS INFANTRY or WHITE SCARS BIKER units from your army, before it moves. Select one of those WHITE SCARS units that is not within 1" of any other enemy units; each model in the selected unit can make one attack with a melee weapon against that enemy unit as if they were within 1" of it. After these attacks are made, if that enemy unit is not destroyed, it can then make its Fall Back move; after it has moved, each model in the selected unit can move up to 3", so long as they end this move closer to that enemy unit and not within 1" of any enemy units.

GUERILLA TACTICS1CP

Adeptus Astartes – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

At the opportune moment, Space Marine infiltration units slip away from battle, only to relocate and strike the foe again.

Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase, when a PHOBOS unit from your army that is more than 6" from any enemy models is selected to move. If the mission you are playing is using the Strategic Reserves rule, place that unit into Strategic Reserves. That unit cannot arrive from Strategic Reserves in the same turn it is placed into Strategic Reserves.

STEADY ADVANCE2CP

Adeptus Astartes – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

A measured advance allows Space Marines to unleash a steady stream of fire.

Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase, when an ADEPTUS ASTARTES INFANTRY unit from your army makes a Normal Move. Until the end of the turn, that unit is considered to have Remained Stationary.

UNCOMPROMISING FIRE2CP

Adeptus Astartes – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

Switching weapons to full auto, the Space Marines unleash a short-lived but inescapable hail of fire.

Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase. Select one ADEPTUS ASTARTES INFANTRY unit from your army that is performing an action. That unit can shoot this phase without that action failing.

PAIN IS A LESSON1CP

Imperial Fists – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

To the Imperial Fists, pain is but another didactic tool, a reminder of what their forebears endured without complaint and which they, too, must weather unwavering.

Use this Stratagem in any phase, when an IMPERIAL FISTS unit from your army that is not a VEHICLE or SERVITOR is chosen as the target of an enemy attack. Until the end of that phase, when a model in that unit would lose a wound, roll one D6; on a 6 that wound is not lost.

CLOSE-RANGE BOLTER FIRE2CP

Imperial Fists – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

The ability to hose your foe in bolter fire while battling toe to toe has proven vital across countless trenches and battlements.

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. Until the end of that phase, bolt weapons models in that unit are equipped with have the Pistol type instead of their normal type (e.g. a Rapid Fire 2 bolt weapon becomes Pistol 2).

SQUAD DOCTRINES1CP

Ultramarines – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

Each squad within an Ultramarines strike force at war is ready to switch to a new combat doctrine at a moment’s notice.

Use this Stratagem at the start of your Movement phase. Select one ULTRAMARINES INFANTRY or ULTRAMARINES BIKER unit from your army, then select either the Devastator, Tactical or Assault Doctrine. Until the start of your next Movement phase, that unit gains the bonus of that combat doctrine instead of the active combat doctrine.

TELEPORTARIUM1CP

Deathwatch – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

Utilising the arcane secrets of teleportation technology, the Deathwatch burst from nowhere to attack.

Use this Stratagem during deployment. Select one DEATHWATCH INFANTRY, DEATHWATCH DREADNOUGHT or DEATHWATCH BIKER unit from your army. All models in that unit gain the Teleport Strike ability. 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).

ADAPTIVE STRATEGY1CP

Space Marines – Ultramarines – Boarding Actions – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

The tenets of the Codex Astartes allow for unorthodox use of combat tactics and the employment of divergent strategic doctrines if doing so will lead to victory.

Use this Stratagem in your Command phase. Select one ULTRAMARINES unit from your army that is on the battlefield. Until the start of your next Command phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, the Devastator Doctrine, Tactical Doctrine and Assault Doctrine are all considered to be active for that attack.

COUNTER CHARGE1CP

Space Marines – Space Wolves – Boarding Actions – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

The inter-pack dynamism of the Space Wolves ensures a fluid coordination of support that sees the Chapter’s battle-brothers launch themselves at the enemy’s throats from unexpected quarters.

Use this Stratagem in your opponent’s Charge phase. Select one SPACE WOLVES unit from your army. Until the end of the phase, that unit is eligible to perform a Heroic Intervention if it is within 6" horizontally of an enemy unit, and when performing a Heroic Intervention with that unit, you can move each model in that unit up to 6". All other rules for Heroic Interventions still apply.

INFILTRATING ADVANCE1CP

Space Marines – Raven Guard – Boarding Actions – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

At the opportune moment, Raven Guard infiltration units slip away from battle, only to relocate and strike the foe again from a different angle.

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

INFILTRATORS1CP

Raven Guard – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

The Raven Guard are masters of infiltration, slipping unseen across the battlefield before striking from the shadows to annihilate their foes with gun and blade.

Use this Stratagem at the start of the first battle round, before the first turn begins. Select one RAVEN GUARD INFANTRY unit from your army that is on the battlefield. That unit can move as if it were your Movement phase. The unit must end that move more than 9" away from any enemy models. If both players have units that can do this, the player who is taking the first turn moves their units first. Each unit can only be selected for this Stratagem once per battle.

STRANGLEHOLD2CP

Raven Guard – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

By the time the enemy engages the Raven Guard, their rear lines are already in the talon-grip of the Chapter’s covert vanguard, choking them off from vital battlefield support.

Use this Stratagem at the start of the first battle round, before the first turn begins, if your army includes any RAVEN GUARD SCOUT or RAVEN GUARD PHOBOS units. Until the end of that battle round, you can roll one D6 each time your opponent spends Command Points to use a Stratagem; on a 5+ your opponent must spend 1 additional Command Point, or else that Stratagem has no effect and cannot be used again this phase (the Command Points spent so far are lost). You can only use this Stratagem once per battle.

SAVAGE DESTRUCTION1CP

Space Marines – Flesh Tearers – Boarding Actions – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

Enemy fighters scramble to escape the Flesh Tearers’ ferocity.

Use this Stratagem in the Morale phase, when a Morale test is failed for an enemy unit that is within Engagement Range of any FLESH TEARERS units from your army. Until the end of the turn, subtract 2 from Combat Attrition tests taken for that enemy unit.

BROTHERHOOD OF VETERANS1CP

Space Marines – Deathwatch – Boarding Actions – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

The battle-brothers of the Deathwatch hail from many different Space Marine brotherhoods, resulting in the combination of many doctrines and tactics to use against the xenos threat.

Use this Stratagem in your Command phase. Select one DEATHWATCH unit from your army, then select one Chapter Tactic or Successor Tactic. Until the end of the turn, models in that unit have that Chapter Tactic or Successor Tactic instead of the Xenos Hunters Chapter Tactic.

BESTIAL NATURE1CP

Space Wolves – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

Every son of Russ feels the instinctive feral impulses flood through them in battle, a howling and vicious urge to hunt.

Use this Stratagem in your Command phase if a combat doctrine is active for your army. Select one SPACE WOLVES INFANTRY, SPACE WOLVES CAVALRY or SPACE WOLVES BIKER unit from your army. Until the start of your next Command phase, that unit gains the bonus of the Assault Doctrine instead of the active combat doctrine.

STRIKE FROM THE SHADOWS1CP

Raven Guard – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

The deadliest strike comes always from the least expected quarter. So taught Corax.

Use this Stratagem during the Declare Reserves and Transports step of your mission. Select one RAVEN GUARD INFANTRY unit from your army. You can set up that unit in ambush instead of setting it up on the battlefield. If you do, at the end of one of your Movement phases you can set up that unit anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models.

RED RAMPAGE1CP

Space Marines – Blood Angels – Boarding Actions – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

In times of great desperation, fury and ferocity can be a warriors strongest allies.

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when a BLOOD ANGELS unit from your army is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes a melee attack, on an unmodified hit roll of 6, that attack scores one additional hit.

STEADY ADVANCE1CP

Space Marines – Boarding Actions – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

A measured advance allows Space Marines to unleash a steady stream of accurate fire on the move.

Use this Stratagem when an ADEPTUS ASTARTES unit from your army completes the Set Overwatch action. While that unit Sets Overwatch, it also Holds Steady.

KEEN SENSES1CP

Space Wolves – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

The heightened senses of the Space Wolves allow them to sniff out prey wherever, or however, it is hidden.

Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase. Select one SPACE WOLVES INFANTRY, SPACE WOLVES BIKER or SPACE WOLVES CAVALRY unit from your army. Until the end of the turn, you can ignore any or all hit roll, Ballistic skill and Weapon skill modifiers, and each time you make a charge roll for that unit, you can ignore any or all modifiers to that charge roll.

A DEADLY PRIZE1CP

Raven Guard – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

If critical objectives look close to falling into enemy hands, the Raven Guard will often plant explosives to deny their capture.

Use this Stratagem at the end of your turn. Select one objective marker that is within 3" of any RAVEN GUARD INFANTRY units from your army and not within 3" of any enemy units. The next time an enemy unit ends a move within 3" of that objective marker, roll one D6; on a 2-4, that enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds; on a 5+ it suffers 3 mortal wounds. You cannot use this Stratagem on the same objective marker more than once per battle.

BATTLEFIELD TELEPORTATION1CP

Kill Team Strike Force – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

Site-to-site battlefield teleportation is a rare capability indeed, used only by the Deathwatch in extreme situations.

Use this Stratagem at the start of your Movement phase. Select one STRIKE FORCE KILL TEAM or STRIKE FORCE CHARACTER unit from your army. Remove that unit from the battlefield. In the Reinforcements step of your next Movement phase, you can set this unit back up on the battlefield, anywhere that is more than 9" from any enemy models. If the battle ends and this unit is not on the battlefield, it is destroyed.

HEROES ALL1CP

Strike Force Rhalion – Boarding Actions – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

There can be no hangers-on when battling such odds. Every warrior must step forward and be counted as a champion of the Emperor and Sanguinius.

Use this Stratagem in the Heroic Interventions step of your opponent’s Charge phase. Select one STRIKE FORCE RHALION unit from your army. Until the end of the phase, that unit is eligible to perform Heroic Interventions as if it were a CHARACTER.

SELF-RELIANT1CP

Strike Force Rhalion – Boarding Actions – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

Knowing that they would be fighting alone and against trying odds aboard the Herald of Misery, Rhalions warriors brought with them all the equipment and supplies they needed to operate in isolation for many days.

Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase. Select one STRIKE FORCE RHALION unit from your army. Until the end of your next Command phase, that unit can attempt the Secure Site action as if it had the Objective Secured ability.

BLACK VAULT BOLTS1CP

Kill Team Strike Force – Wargear Stratagem

Amongst the rarest forms of special issue ammunition available to the Deathwatch, these bolts are handed out, a few each, to warriors sent on investigative missions, lest they encounter a foe their usual wargear cannot best.

Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when you select a STRIKE FORCE KILL TEAM or STRIKE FORCE CHARACTER unit from your army to shoot. Until the end of the phase:

The Type characteristic of all bolt weapons models in that unit are equipped with is changed to Heavy 1.
Each time a model in that unit makes a ranged attack with a Bolt weapon, on an unmodified wound roll of 6 that attack inflicts 1 mortal wound on the target in addition to any normal damage (a maximum of 6 mortal wounds can be inflicted per phase via this Stratagem).

AUSPEX SCAN2CP

Adeptus Astartes – Wargear Stratagem

Nearby motion and radiation signatures are detected by a handheld device, forewarning the bearer of ambushes.

Use this Stratagem at the end of the Reinforcements step of your opponent's Movement phase. Select one ADEPTUS ASTARTES INFANTRY unit 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 their unit when doing so.

SPECIAL-ISSUE LOADOUT2CP

Deathwatch – Wargear Stratagem

Individual shells are loaded when optimised volleys are required.

Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when you select a DEATHWATCH INFANTRY unit from your army to shoot. Until the end of the phase, bolt weapons (excluding bolt sniper rifles) without the Special-issue Ammunition ability that models in that unit are equipped with gain that Special-issue Ammunition ability and their Type characteristic is changed to Heavy 1.

TACTICAL AUGURY1CP

Vanguard Spearhead – Wargear Stratagem

Vanguard Spearheads utilise advanced scanning equipment and orbital augurs to grant them an awareness of the battle-sphere's layout few forces can match. With such tactical advantage, they make pinpoint shots into enemy strongpoints and through dense defence lines, driving the foe out of cover and onto the blades of the Spearhead's encircling executioners.

Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when a VANGUARD SPEARHEAD unit from your army is selected to shoot. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes a ranged attack, the target does not receive the benefits of cover against that attack.


	1CP

BOLTER DRILL

Crimson Fists Stratagem

The Crimson Fists maintain strict fire discipline at all times, standing shoulder to shoulder with their battle-brothers as they unleash devastatingly accurate volleys of bolter fire into the foe.

Use this Stratagem just before a CRIMSON FISTS INFANTRY unit attacks in the Shooting phase. Until the end of the phase, each time you make a hit roll of 6+ for a model from that unit firing a bolt weapon, that model can immediately make another hit roll using the same weapon at the same target (these bonus attacks cannot themselves generate any further attacks). For the purposes of this Stratagem, a bolt weapon is any weapon profile whose name includes the word 'bolt’ (e.g. boltgun, bolt rifle, heavy' bolter, boltstorm gauntlet). Duty’s Burden and Pedro Kantor’s Dorn’s Arrow are also bolt weapons.


	1CP

CHIEF LIBRARIAN

Blood Ravens Stratagem

As masters of the psychic arts, the Chief Librarians of the Blood Ravens can direct the energies of the immaterium with incredible precision and power.

Use this Stratagem before the battle. Select one BLOOD RAVENS LIBRARIAN model from your army. That model gains the CHIEF LIBRARIAN keyword and the following ability: ‘Chief Librarian: This model knows one additional psychic power from their chosen discipline and can attempt to deny one additional psychic power in your opponent’s Psychic phase.’ You can only use this Stratagem once per battle.

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.

Obscuration Discipline

PSYCHIC POWER

SHROUDING

The psyker uses his mastery of the warp to fog the minds of his enemies, clouding their senses so that his allies appear as nothing more than indistinct shadows.

Blessing: Shrouding has a warp charge value of 6.

Until the start of your next Psychic phase, unless that unit is the closest eligible target, enemy models cannot target that unit with ranged attacks.

SOUL SIGHT

The psyker shares his warp-sight with his brethren, causing their eyes to glow with an ethereal light. So empowered, no foe can escape their omniscient gaze; the souls of their targets flare like flaming beacons in the dark.

Blessing: Soul Sight has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, select one friendly <CHAPTER><CHAPTER>BLOOD ANGELSDARK ANGELSDEATHWATCHIMPERIAL FISTSIRON HANDSRAVEN GUARDSALAMANDERSSPACE WOLVESULTRAMARINESWHITE SCARSASTRAL CLAWSBLOOD RAVENSCARCHARODONSCRIMSON FISTSCASTELLANS OF THE RIFTEMPEROR’S SPEARSEXECUTIONERSEXORCISTSFIRE ANGELSFIRE HAWKSFLESH TEARERSHOWLING GRIFFONSLAMENTERSMANTIS WARRIORSMARINES ERRANTMINOTAURSNOVAMARINESRAPTORSRED SCORPIONSSILVER TEMPLARSSONS OF MEDUSASTAR PHANTOMSTIGER CLAWSTOME KEEPERSWOLFSPEAR PHOBOS unit within 18" of this PSYKER. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, each time a model in that unit makes a ranged attack, you can re-roll the hit roll and the target does not receive the benefits of cover against that attack.

MIND RAID

The psyker peers into the mind of the foe, raiding their thoughts for secret codes, battle plans, the location of hidden forces and any other tactical information that might be useful. Such brute psychic interrogation doubtless inflicts severe cerebral trauma on its victim.

Witchfire: Mind Raid has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, select one enemy model within 18" of and visible to this PSYKER.

That model’s unit suffers 1 mortal wound.
If that model is a CHARACTER, roll 3D6: if the result is equal to or greater than that model’s Leadership characteristic, you gain 1 Command point.

HALLUCINATION

The psyker instils terror and panic within his foes by conjuring images out of their memories - from past allies seemingly returned from the dead, to apparitions wrought from nightmares.

Malediction: Hallucination has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, select one enemy unit within 18" of and visible to this PSYKER.

Until the start of your next Psychic phase, subtract 1 from the Leadership characteristic of models in that unit.
Until the start of your next Psychic phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, subtract 1 from that attack’s hit roll.

TENEBROUS CURSE

As the psyker twists his hand, a psychic bolt lances through the minds of his enemies. As they reel from the assault, their own shadows seemingly come to life, pulling their casters to the ground with frenzied determination.

Malediction: Tenebrous Curse has a warp charge value of 7. If manifested, select one enemy unit that cannot FLY and is within 18" of and visible to this PSYKER.

That unit suffers 1 mortal wound.
Until the start of your next Psychic phase, halve that unit’s Move characteristic and subtract 2 from Advance rolls and charge rolls made for it.

TEMPORAL CORRIDOR

The psyker creates an invisible corridor in which the passage of time is altered, allowing his allies to traverse the battlefield with supernatural swiftness.

Blessing: Temporal Corridor has a warp charge value of 5.

That unit cannot shoot or fight this turn.
If that unit is not within Engagement Range of any enemy models, it can either make a Normal Move or it can Advance as if it were your Movement phase (if it Advances, do not make an Advance roll; instead, until the end of the phase, add 6" to the Move characteristic of models in that unit).

Chapter Command

Chief Librarian

At head of each Chapter's Librarius can be found the Chief Librarian. Battle scholars with vast experience and immense psychic power, they are as much invaluable warriors as they are dependable advisors. When mastery of the warp is required, none are better equipped to deal with its turbulent nature. On the battlefield, Chief Librarians direct the energies of the immaterium with unrivalled precision and power.

ABILITIES
A CHIEF LIBRARIAN model gains the following ability: 'Chief Librarian: This model knows one additional psychic power from their chosen discipline and can attempt to deny one additional psychic power in your opponent's Psychic phase'.

RELICS AND WARLORD TRAITS
You can give a CHIEF LIBRARIAN model the Neural Shroud Relic, instead of giving them a Chapter Relic. In addition, you can give them the Psychic Mastery Warlord Trait instead of giving them another Warlord Trait.

Psychic Mastery (Warlord Trait)

This Librarian has reached a level of psychic mastery that allows him to delve deep into the warp, to depths that would cause lesser psykers to be consumed by its ravenous energies.

Add 1 to Psychic tests taken for this WARLORD.

Neural Shroud (Relic)

A neural shroud is a specially modified psychic hood sometimes worn by the most senior members of a Chapter's Librarius. The resonating crystals within its neurokinetic housing have been supercharged with empyric energy. Though wearing such a device demands incredible focus and willpower, it projects an extremely potent anti-psychic field.

Increase the range of the bearer's Psychic Hood ability to 24".
