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.

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).

CLAIM RUNES1CP

Silver Templars – Battle Tactic Stratagem

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

If that unit has the Troops Battlefield Role, until the end of that phase, when resolving an attack made by that unit, you can re-roll a hit roll.

DEED WORTHY OF A SAGA2CP

Space Wolves – Epic Deed Stratagem

Legendary deeds in the midst of battle are an intoxicating mead. Those of the hero’s retinue are inspired to greater feats of daring and valour, proving themselves worthy of their champion.

Use this Stratagem in any phase, when a SPACE WOLVES CHARACTER model (excluding VEHICLE models) from your army that does not have a Warlord Trait meets the requirements for a Deed. At the end of the phase, until the end of the battle, that model gains the Saga ability associated with that Deed.

Adeptus Astartes – Epic Deed Stratagem

Fuelled by battlefield adrenaline, the Chaplain recites his litanies with even greater fervour, inspiring the warriors around him.

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.

The most accomplished officers amongst the Imperial Fists’ ranks are true paragons of battle, masters of the Codex Astartes’ tenets and unfaltering heroes to the last.

Use this Stratagem after nominating an IMPERIAL FISTS CHARACTER model that is not a named character to be your WARLORD. You can generate one additional Warlord Trait for them; this must be from the Imperial Fists Warlord Traits table. All of the Warlord Traits your army includes must be different (if randomly generated, re-roll duplicate results). You can only use this Stratagem once per battle.

EXEMPLAR OF THE PROMETHEAN CREED1CP

Salamanders – Requisition Stratagem

The greatest heroes of Nocturne are embodiments of Vulkan’s tenets and living monuments to his nobility.

Use this Stratagem after nominating a SALAMANDERS model that is not a named character to be your WARLORD. You can generate one additional Warlord Trait for them; this must be from the Salamanders Warlord Traits table. Each Warlord Trait in your army must be unique (if randomly generated, re-roll duplicate results). You can only use this Stratagem once per battle.

TRUST OF PROMETHEUS1CP

Salamanders – Requisition Stratagem

The respect of the Salamanders is not easily earned, but the trust so forged is sealed by the giving of powerful artefacts.

Use this Stratagem after nominating a model drawn from a Salamanders successor Chapter to be your WARLORD. You can give one Relic of Nocturne to a CHARACTER model from your army that is drawn from a Salamanders successor Chapter instead of giving them a Special-issue Wargear Relic or a Chapter Relic from Codex: Space Marines. If you do, replace the SALAMANDERS keyword in all instances on that Relic (if any) with that model’s <CHAPTER> keyword. You can only use this Stratagem once per battle.

MASTER OF THE TRIFOLD PATH1CP

Raven Guard – Requisition Stratagem

The most accomplished leaders of the Raven Guard are masters of every strategic doctrine laid down by Corvus Corax.

Use this Stratagem after nominating a RAVEN GUARD CHARACTER model that is not a named character to be your Warlord. You can generate one additional Warlord Trait for them; this must be from the Raven Guard Warlord Traits table.

HEIR OF SIGISMUND1CP

Black Templars – Requisition Stratagem

The leaders of the Black Templars must seek to emulate the example set by Sigismund himself, exhibiting strategic excellence worthy of the sons of Dorn. Such warriors command the greatest hosts, and leave a legacy of successful crusades behind them.

Use this Stratagem after nominating a BLACK TEMPLARS CHARACTER model that is not a named character to be your WARLORD. Generate one additional Warlord Trait for them; this must be from the Black Templars Warlord Traits table. Each Warlord Trait in your army must be unique (if randomly generated, re-roll duplicate results). You can only use this Stratagem once.

A TROPHY BESTOWED1CP

Space Wolves – Requisition Stratagem

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. If you do, replace the Space Wolves keyword in all instances on that Relic (if any) with that model’s successor Chapter keyword. You can only use this Stratagem once.

WARRIOR OF LEGEND1CP

Space Wolves – Requisition Stratagem

The greatest champions of Fenris have hunted near-mythical monsters, bested dark champions and waded through seas of blood - throughout all, howling with joy in the face of death.

Use this Stratagem after nominating a SPACE WOLVES CHARACTER model that is not a named character to be your WARLORD. 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.

Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army, if every unit in your army has the ADEPTUS ASTARTES keyword (excluding AGENT OF THE IMPERIUM and UNALIGNED units). Select one EXORCISTS CORE or EXORCISTS CHARACTER unit from your army, then select one combat doctrine. 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. If that unit contains 5 or fewer models, this Stratagem costs 1CP; otherwise, it costs 2CP.

HONOURED BY MACRAGGE1CP

Space Marines – Requisition Stratagem

It is not unheard of for the revered relics of the Ultramarines to be bestowed for a time upon a worthy successor Chapter as a mark of honour and respect.

Use this Stratagem after nominating a model drawn from an Ultramarines successor Chapter to be your WARLORD. You can give one Relic of Macragge to a CHARACTER model from your army that is drawn from an Ultramarines successor Chapter instead of giving them a Special-issue Wargear Relic or a Chapter Relic from Codex: Space Marines. If you do, replace the ULTRAMARINES keyword in all instances on that Relic (if any) with that model’s <CHAPTER> keyword. You can only use this Stratagem once per battle.

EXEMPLAR OF THE CHAPTER1CP

Ultramarines – Requisition Stratagem

The heroes of the Ultramarines do not rest on their laurels. Rather, they strive all the harder to excel, for they recognise that only through excellence can they and their warriors prevail.

Use this Stratagem after nominating an ULTRAMARINES model that is not a named character to be your WARLORD. You can generate one additional Warlord Trait for them; this must be from the Ultramarines Warlord Traits table. Each Warlord Trait in your army must be unique (if randomly generated, re-roll duplicate results). You can only use this Stratagem once.

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.

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.

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.

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.

STEADY ADVANCE2CP

Adeptus Astartes – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

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

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.

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.

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".

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

THE EMPEROR’S WILL1CP

Black Templars – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

It is the divine command of the God-Emperor that the Black Templars bring ruin to Humanity’s foes. In battle they are never still, surging towards the enemy, bolters blazing.

Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase. Select one BLACK TEMPLARS INFANTRY unit from your army that Advanced this turn. Until the end of the phase:

That unit is still eligible to shoot with, but you can only make attacks using Pistol, Rapid Fire or Assault weapons when you select that unit to shoot with.
Models from that unit do not suffer the penalty incurred to their hit rolls for firing Assault weapons.

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.

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.

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.

NO MERCY, NO ESCAPE1CP

Space Marines – Black Templars – Boarding Actions – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

With glowing blades and revving chainswords, the Black Templars bar their foes’ retreat.

Use this Stratagem in your opponent’s Movement phase, when an enemy INFANTRY or BEAST unit that is within Engagement Range of any BLACK TEMPLARS units from your army is selected to Fall Back. Roll one D6: on a 4+, that enemy unit cannot Fall Back this phase and must Remain Stationary instead.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).


	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.

Litanies of Battle

Litany of Hate (Aura)

The Chaplain fuels his battle brothers with hatred and exhorts them to strike the foe harder and harder, without mercy.

If this litany is inspiring, then while a friendly CORE or CHARACTER unit is within 6" of this PRIEST, each time a model in that unit makes a melee attack, you can re-roll the hit roll.

EXHORTATION OF RAGE

The Chaplain bellows his fury at the enemy, his brothers surging forwards to strike them down.

The Chaplain focuses his mind on the purity of the blood that runs through his veins, bestowed upon him by the Primarch himself.

If this litany is inspiring:

RECITATION OF FOCUS

The Chaplain recites creeds that focus the minds of his brothers to ensure their shots strike true.

CANTICLE OF HATE (AURA)

Bellowing his hatred of the foe, the Chaplain leads his brothers in the wholesale destruction of the enemy.

Add 2 to charge rolls made for that unit. This is not cumulative with any other rule that adds to a unit’s charge roll.
Each time a model in that unit makes a pile in or consolidation move, it can move up to an additional 3". This is not cumulative with any other rule that increases the distance models can pile in or consolidate.

Chapter Command

Master of Sanctity

Masters of Sanctity are the High Chaplains of the Space Marine Chapters. They maintain the spiritual well-being of their brothers, ensuring none falter in their responsibilities. Their mere presence inspires fervent aggression amongst their kin, though they are just as capable of delivering retribution first-hand. With word and deed a Master of Sanctity guides his brothers to glory.

ABILITIES
A MASTER OF SANCTITY model has the following ability:

‘Master of Sanctity: This model knows one additional litany from the Litanies of Battle. In your Command phase, if this model is on the battlefield, it can recite one additional litany it knows that has not already been recited by a friendly model that turn.’

RELICS AND WARLORD TRAITS
You can give a MASTER OF SANCTITY model the Emperor's Judgement Relic, instead of giving them a Chapter Relic. In addition, you can give them the Wise Orator Warlord Trait instead of giving them another Warlord Trait:

Wise Orator [Warlord Trait)

A veteran of the battlefield and of the sermon, this warlord intones his litanies and galvanises his brothers with every word.

Each time this WARLORD recites a litany, add 1 to the roll to see if it is inspiring.
Each time this WARLORD is selected to use the Commanding Oratory Stratagem, that Stratagem costs 1 Command point.

The Emperor's Judgement [Relic)

Legend has it that the golden, skull-faced death mask known as the Emperor's Judgement was crafted in the years following the Horus Heresy, and its crimson, crystal eye lenses are imbued with droplets of his own lifeblood. Regardless of the truth of its origins, several influential Masters of Sanctity have been granted the honour of wearing the Emperor's Judgement in battle. Both heretics and xenos cower in the face of its grim majesty.

Each time an attack is made against the bearer, your opponent cannot re-roll the hit roll, cannot re-roll the wound roll and cannot re-roll the damage roll.
The bearer has the following ability: 'The Emperor's Judgement (Aura): While an enemy unit is within 6" of the bearer, each time a Morale test is taken for that unit, roll one additional D6 and discard the lowest result.’
