Datasheet-related Stratagems

ENDURANCE OF AEONS1CP/2CP
Thousand Sons – Boarding Actions – Battle Tactic Stratagem

The unnatural resilience of the Thousand Sons is magnified to a terrifying degree in the confines of ship-to-ship combat.

Use this Stratagem in any phase, when a RUBRIC MARINES or TERMINATOR 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 wound 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.
MIRROR-MIND1CP
Thousand Sons – Boarding Actions – Epic Deed Stratagem

Dangerously suffused with the power of the warp, some Thousand Sons sorcerers can duplicate their consciousness. With one portion, they weave fell magicks, while with the other they continue to manipulate the material realm.

Use this Stratagem in your Psychic phase. Select one THOUSAND SONS PSYKER unit from your army. Until the end of the phase, that unit can manifest psychic powers without any actions it is performing failing (excluding psychic actions).
PAX DIABOLUS1CP
Thousand Sons – Boarding Actions – Epic Deed Stratagem

Insinuated into this magister’s sorcery is a daemonic bargain forged with a warp entity. With a promise to feed it the souls of his victims, the sorcerer is briefly wreathed in the daemons’ aegis.

Use this Stratagem in your Psychic phase, when a THOUSAND SONS PSYKER unit from your army successfully manifests a psychic power. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, the next time a saving throw is failed for an attack made against that unit, reduce the Damage characteristic of that attack to 0.
GREAT SORCERER1CP
Thousand Sons – Epic Deed Stratagem

Those not driven mad by their worship of Tzeentch gain the power to harness the energies of the warp like few others.

Use this Stratagem in your Psychic phase. Select one THOUSAND SONS PSYKER model from your army. That unit can attempt to manifest one additional psychic power this turn.
WARPED REGENERATION1CP
Thousand Sons – Epic Deed Stratagem

The sorceries of the Thousand Sons can alter reality itself, rendering whole that which has been put asunder.

Use this Stratagem in your Psychic phase, after manifesting a psychic power with a THOUSAND SONS unit from your army with an unmodified Psychic test of 9 or more. If that unit contains a model that has lost any wounds, that model is healed and regains up to D3 lost wounds (each model can only be healed once per turn). Otherwise, if any models in that unit have been destroyed, you can return one of those models to the battlefield with all of its wounds remaining, placing it in unit coherency.
UNHOLY SUSURRUS1CP
Thousand Sons – Epic Deed Stratagem

Many lesser warp entities whisper dark secrets to selected individuals that can shift the tide of battle.

Use this Stratagem at the start of your Psychic phase. Select one THOUSAND SONS PSYKER unit from your army. Select one psychic power from the disciplines it has access to. That psychic power replaces one psychic power that unit knows.
PSYCHIC DOMINION1CP
Thousand Sons – Epic Deed Stratagem

To pit oneself against the psychic might of the Thousand Sons is to be trapped, helpless and screaming, within your own mind.

Use this Stratagem in your opponent’s Psychic phase, when a THOUSAND SONS PSYKER unit from your army is selected to attempt to deny a psychic power. So long as that unit is within 6" of another friendly THOUSAND SONS PSYKER unit that could also attempt to deny that psychic power, when taking that Deny the Witch test, roll one additional D6.
MASTERS OF THE IMMATERIUM1CP
Thousand Sons – Epic Deed Stratagem

Though the empyrean is a dangerous weapon to wield, the Thousand Sons know better than most how to take the greatest risks and remain unharmed.

Use this Stratagem in your Psychic phase, when a THOUSAND SONS PSYKER unit from your army would suffer Perils of the Warp. That unit does not suffer Perils of the Warp.
SORCEROUS MIGHT1CP
Thousand Sons – Epic Deed Stratagem

The most powerful Sorcerers of the Thousand Sons are battle-psykers who can, if the need is dire enough, siphon a sliver of their corrupted souls into their force staves to temporarily boost their lethality.

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when a THOUSAND SONS SORCERER or THOUSAND SONS EXALTED SORCERER unit from your army that is equipped with a force stave (excluding Relics) is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, the Damage characteristic of that force stave is changed to D3+1.
SORCEROUS ARCANA1CP
Thousand Sons – Requisition Stratagem

The halls of Tizca are replete with sorcerous esoterica, gathered by Magnus and his gene-sons over thousands of years.

Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army, if your WARLORD has the THOUSAND SONS keyword. Select one THOUSAND SONS CHARACTER model in your army and give them one Sorcerous Arcana Relic (this must be a Relic they can 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).
BLESSED TRANSMUTATIONS2CP
Warpmeld Pact – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

When the energy of Tzeentchian magicks flow so strongly, not only can Tzaangor once slain be restored to life, but more can be created from pure warp power.

Use this Stratagem in your Command phase. Select one WARPMELD PACT PSYKER model from your army. For each friendly TZAANGOR unit within 6" of that model:
  • If that unit has the BRAY keyword, return up to D3+1 destroyed models to that unit with their full wounds remaining.
  • Otherwise, return up to 1 destroyed model to that unit with its full wounds remaining.
TWISTED MIRAGE2CP
Warpmeld Pact – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

The sorcerers and magick-wielders of the Warpmeld Pacts are wreathed in psychic energy They may well appear to be in one place to their foes, but things are not always as they seem.

Use this Stratagem in your opponent’s Charge phase, when a WARPMELD PACT PSYKER CHARACTER unit from your army is selected as a target of a charge. If that unit is not within Engagement Range of any enemy units, it can make a Normal Move of up to 6". Until the end of the phase, that unit cannot fire Overwatch or Set to Defend. Your opponent can then select new targets for that charge.
WEBWAY INFILTRATION2CP/3CP
Thousand Sons – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

By breaking into and traversing the winding paths of the webway, the Thousand Sons are able to outflank their foes.

Use this Stratagem during deployment. If you spend 2CP, you can set up one THOUSAND SONS INFANTRY unit from your army in the webway instead of setting it up on the battlefield. If you spend 3CP, you can set up two THOUSAND SONS INFANTRY units from your army in the webway instead of setting them up on the battlefield. If you do, then for each of those units, in the Reinforcements step of one of your Movement phases you can set them up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models. You can only use this Stratagem once.
AETHERIC SATURATION1CP
Thousand Sons – Strategic Ploy Stratagem

The Sorcerer absorbs the chaotic energies flowing thickly around a Mutalith Vortex Beast, healing injuries he has sustained.

Use this Stratagem in your Psychic phase, when a PSYKER CHARACTER from your army within 12" of a friendly MUTALITH VORTEX BEAST model is selected to manifest psychic powers. Instead of manifesting one psychic power with that model, it is healed and regains up to D3 lost wounds. Each model can only be healed once per turn.
MALEFIC SCROLL1CP
Thousand Sons – Wargear Stratagem

The Thousand Sons have vast libraries full of ancient texts. The knowledge contained within can enhance the Sorcerers’ power.

Use this Stratagem in your Psychic phase, when a THOUSAND SONS PSYKER unit from your army (excluding MAGNUS THE RED) manifests the Smite psychic power. That manifestation inflicts 3 mortal wounds instead of D3 or D6 (no dice roll is made).

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.

Discipline of Change

D33PSYCHIC POWER
11

TZEENTCH’S FIRESTORM

The psyker conjures a raging storm of pink and blue fire down from the skies, that mutates his foes and leaves capering daemons that claw and bite in its wake.

Witchfire: Tzeentch’s Firestorm has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, select one enemy unit within 18" of and visible to this PSYKER and roll nine D6. For each roll of 6, that enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound. If the result of the Psychic test was an unmodified 9+, that enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound for each roll of 5+ instead.

12

GLAMOUR OF TZEENTCH

The psyker twists and obscures the perceptions of his foes to the point that his allies become all but invisible.

Blessing: Glamour of Tzeentch has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, select one friendly THOUSAND SONS unit within 18" of this PSYKER. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, each time an attack is made against that unit, subtract 1 from that attack’s hit roll.

13

DOOMBOLT

The psyker hurls a bolt of roiling energy that horribly twists its target into abhorrent and mutated new shapes.

Witchfire: Doombolt has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, the closest enemy unit within 18" of and visible to this PSYKER suffers 3 mortal wounds.

21

TEMPORAL MANIPULATION

Fashioning a pocket of dilated time around an injured ally, the psyker accelerates the rate at which their flesh reknits.

Blessing: Temporal Manipulation has a warp charge value of 5. If manifested, select one friendly THOUSAND SONS model (excluding VEHICLES) within 12" of this PSYKER. That model is healed and regains up to D3 lost wounds. Each model can only be healed once per turn.

22

WEAVER OF FATES

The skeins of the future are laid bare to the psyker, revealing the fates of battle. Forewarned of imminent danger, his warriors dodge bullets and sword blows with seemingly supernatural reflexes.

Blessing: Weaver of Fates has a warp charge value of 7. If manifested, select one friendly THOUSAND SONS unit within 18" of this PSYKER. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, models in that unit have a 4+ invulnerable save.

23

BALEFUL DEVOLUTION

Transmogrifying energies erupt from the psyker’s eyes, playing across the enemy’s ranks and reducing their proud warriors to mewling beasts.

Witchfire: Baleful Devolution has a warp charge value of 8. If manifested, select one enemy unit within 18" of and visible to this PSYKER that contains 6 or more models. Roll a number of D6 equal to the result of the Psychic test: for each roll of 6, that enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.

31

CACODAEMONIC CURSE

With dark invocations, the psyker summons cackling daemon imps to infest the enemy’s weapons.

Malediction: Cacodaemonic Curse has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, select one enemy unit within 18" of this PSYKER. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, subtract 1 from the Strength characteristic of ranged weapons models in that unit are equipped with.

32

PYRIC FLUX

The psykers makes themselves into a bounteous font of unholy warpflame.

Blessing: Pyric Flux has a warp charge value of 5. If manifested, select one friendly ARCANA ASTARTES unit within 12" of this PSYKER. Until the end of the turn, add 1 to the Strength characteristic of all warpflamers, warpflame pistols and heavy warpflamers (and any Relics that replace one of these weapons) that models in that unit are equipped with.

33

PERPLEX

With perspective-warping illusions the psyker obfuscates his enemies’ vision, rendering their targets fluid and indistinct.

Malediction: Perplex has a warp charge value of 7. If manifested, select one enemy unit within 24" of this PSYKER. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, each time that unit is selected to shoot, units more than 24" away cannot be selected as the target of ranged attacks.

Dark Hereticus Discipline

D6PSYCHIC POWER
1

Infernal Gaze

Unholy power streams from the psyker’s eyes, charring and melting everything caught in its path.

Infernal Gaze has a warp charge value of 5. If manifested, select an enemy unit that is within 18" of the psyker and visible to him and roll 3 dice. The target suffers one mortal wound for each roll of 4+.

2

Death Hex

The Sorcerer places a dire hex upon his enemies. Wards and energised shields flicker and fail, leaving the foe exposed.

Death Hex has a warp charge value of 8. If manifested, select an enemy unit that is within 12" of the psyker and visible to him. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, that unit cannot take invulnerable saves.

3

Gift of Chaos

As the power of the warp surges through the psyker’s victim, bones snap and flesh rips as a new form takes shape.

Gift of Chaos has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, select an enemy unit that is within 6" of the psyker and visible to him and roll a D6. If the result is greater than the target’s Toughness, it suffers D3+3 mortal wounds. If a CHARACTER is destroyed by this power, you can add one Chaos Spawn to your army within 6" of the character and not within Engagement Range of any enemy units before they are removed as a casualty.

4

Prescience

By focusing his warp-sight the psyker can guide the aim of his allies, bringing a swift and merciless death to their foes.

Prescience has a warp charge value of 7. If manifested, select a HERETIC ASTARTES unit within 18" of the psyker. You can add 1 to all hit rolls made for that unit until the start of your next Psychic phase.

5

Diabolic Strength

The unholy energies of Chaos course through the recipient, swelling his frame with the strength to tear a tank in two.

Diabolic Strength has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, select a HERETIC ASTARTES model within 12" of the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, add 2 to that model’s Strength characteristic and 1 to its Attacks characteristic.

6

Warptime

The power of the immaterium bursts from the psyker, warping time and heightening the speed of his allies.

Warptime has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, pick a THOUSAND SONS unit (excluding AIRCRAFT) within 3" of the psyker. That unit can immediately move as if it were its Movement phase. You cannot use Warptime on a unit more than once per Psychic phase.

RAPID FIRE
Rapid fire weapons are versatile armaments capable of aimed single shots at long range or controlled bursts of fire at close quarters.
When a model shoots a Rapid Fire weapon, double the number of attacks it makes if its target is within half the weapon’s range.

  • Double number of attacks made if target is within half range.
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.
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.
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.

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:

WEAPONRANGETYPESAPD
Close combat weaponMeleeMeleeUser01

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.
Combi-weapons
 • Combi-bolter
 • Combi-flamer
 • Combi-melta
 • Combi-plasma
Death to the False Emperor

The seething hatred that Chaos Space Marines harbour for the Corpse Emperor and his weakling Imperium is a weapon unto itself.

Each time you make a hit roll of 6+ for a model with this ability in the Fight phase, it can, if it was targeting an IMPERIUM unit, immediately make an extra attack against the same unit using the same weapon. These extra attacks cannot themselves generate any further attacks.
Hateful Assault

The Heretic Astartes are corrupted traitors who burn with ten thousand years of hatred and malice.

If this unit makes a charge move, is charged or performs a Heroic Intervention, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of models in this unit until the end of the turn.

The TERMINATOR keyword is used in the following Thousand Sons datasheets:

Malicious Volleys

Even before their fall to Chaos, the doctrines of the Thousand Sons emphasised overwhelming, unrelenting firepower.

Instead of following the normal rules for Rapid Fire weapons, models in this unit shooting Rapid Fire bolt weapons make double the number of attacks if any of the following apply:
  • The shooting model’s target is within half the weapon’s range.
  • The shooting model is INFANTRY and its unit Remained Stationary in your previous Movement phase.
  • The shooting model is a TERMINATOR.
For the purposes of this ability, a Rapid Fire bolt weapon is any bolt weapon with the Rapid Fire type.
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.
Manifesting Psychic Powers
When you select a PSYKER unit to manifest psychic powers, you select one psychic power that unit knows and attempt to manifest it. With the exception of Smite, you cannot attempt to manifest the same psychic power more than once in the same battle round, even with different PSYKER units. The same PSYKER unit cannot attempt to manifest Smite more than once during the same battle round.

To manifest the psychic power, you must first pass a Psychic test. The opposing player can then select one of their PSYKER units that is within 24" of the PSYKER unit attempting to manifest the power and attempt to deny that power before its effects are resolved by passing a Deny the Witch test.

So long as the Psychic test was successful and the psychic power was not denied by a successful Deny the Witch test, the psychic power is successfully manifested and its effects, which will be described in the power itself, are then resolved. If the PSYKER unit can attempt to manifest more than one psychic power in its Psychic phase, you can then attempt to manifest those, one at a time, as described above. The number of psychic powers each PSYKER unit can attempt to manifest in its Psychic phase is listed on its datasheet.

  • Select psychic power.
  • You cannot select the same psychic power more than once per battle round, unless that power is Smite.
  • Attempt to manifest the psychic power by taking a Psychic test.
  • The opponent can attempt to deny the psychic power by taking a Deny the Witch test.
  • If successfully manifested, resolve the psychic power’s effects.
  • Select another psychic power.
Deny the Witch
When a PSYKER unit attempts to deny a psychic power, you must take a Deny the Witch test for that unit by rolling 2D6. If the total is greater than the result of the Psychic test, the Deny the Witch test is passed and the psychic power is denied. Only one attempt can be made to deny a psychic power. If a PSYKER unit can attempt to deny more than one psychic power in a psychic phase, this will be listed on its datasheet.

  • Deny the Witch: Passed if 2D6 exceeds result of the opposing PSYKER’s Psychic test.
  • Only one attempt can be made to deny each psychic power.
Psychic Tests
When a PSYKER unit attempts to manifest a psychic power, you must take a Psychic test for that unit by rolling 2D6. If the total is equal to or greater than that power’s warp charge value, the Psychic test is passed. If you roll a double 1 or a double 6 when taking a Psychic test, that unit immediately suffers Perils of the Warp.

  • Psychic test: Passed if 2D6 equals or exceeds psychic power’s warp charge.
  • If double 1 or double 6 rolled, PSYKER suffers Perils of the Warp.
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.
Unit Coherency
A unit that has more than one model must be set up and finish any sort of move as a single group, with all models within 2" horizontally and 5" vertically of at least one other model from their unit. While a unit has six or more models, all models must instead be within 2" horizontally and 5" vertically of at least two other models from their unit. This is called unit coherency. If a unit cannot end any kind of move in unit coherency, that move cannot be made. Units are primarily moved in the Movement phase, but they can also be moved in the Charge phase and the Fight phase.

Some rules allow you to add models to a unit during the battle; such models must always be set up in unit coherency with the unit they are being added to. Sometimes there will be insufficient room to set up all the models from a unit, or it will not be possible to set up all the models so that they are in unit coherency. When this is the case, any models that cannot be set up are considered to have been destroyed.

  • Unit coherency: 2" horizontally + 5" vertically.
  • Each model must be in unit coherency with one other model from own unit.
  • While unit has 6+ models, each model must be in unit coherency with 2 other models from own unit.
Perils of the Warp
When a PSYKER unit suffers Perils of the Warp, it suffers D3 mortal wounds. If a PSYKER unit is destroyed by Perils of the Warp while attempting to manifest a psychic power, that power automatically fails to manifest. If a PSYKER unit is destroyed by Perils of the Warp, then just before removing the last model in that unit, every unit within 6" of it immediately suffers D3 mortal wounds.

  • Perils of the Warp: The PSYKER unit manifesting the power suffers D3 mortal wounds.
  • If PSYKER unit is destroyed, the psychic power fails to manifest.
  • If PSYKER unit destroyed, every other unit within 6" suffers D3 mortal wounds.

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.

Overwatch
Certain rules enable units to fire Overwatch at an enemy unit before it can charge. If an enemy unit declares a charge that targets one or more units from your army that have such a rule, each of those units can fire Overwatch before the charge roll is made. A unit cannot fire Overwatch if there are any enemy units within Engagement Range of it. Overwatch is resolved like a normal shooting attack (albeit one resolved in the Charge phase) and uses all the normal rules, except that an unmodified hit roll of 6 is always required for a successful hit roll, irrespective of the firing model’s Ballistic Skill or any hit roll modifiers. In addition, when a model fires Overwatch, it does so at the charging unit. Any rule that states the unit cannot be targeted unless it is the closest target (e.g. Look Out, Sir) does not apply when firing Overwatch.

  • Overwatch: Before charge roll made, all charge targets that can fire Overwatch can do so.
  • Can never fire Overwatch while enemy units are in Engagement Range.
  • When firing Overwatch, shoot with unit, but attacks only hit on unmodified 6s.
Defensible (Set to Defend/Hold Steady)
If every model in an INFANTRY unit is on or in an Area Terrain feature with this trait, then it can either Hold Steady or it can Set to Defend (see below) when an enemy unit declares a charge against it.

If every model in an INFANTRY unit is within 3" of an Obstacle terrain feature with this trait, then it can either Hold Steady or it can Set to Defend (see below) when an enemy unit declares a charge against it if, were you to draw a straight line, 1mm in thickness, between the closest parts of the bases (or hulls) of the two closest models in the two units, that line would pass over or through that terrain feature.

A unit cannot Hold Steady or Set to Defend while it is within Engagement Range of any enemy units.

If a unit Holds Steady, any Overwatch attacks made by that unit this phase will score hits on rolls of 5+. If a unit Sets to Defend, it cannot fire Overwatch this phase, but you add 1 to hit rolls when resolving attacks made with melee weapons by models in that unit until the end of the next Fight phase.

  • INFANTRY units can Hold Steady or Set to Defend (if no enemy within Engagement Range).
  • Hold Steady: Overwatch attacks hit on 5+.
  • Set to Defend: Cannot fire Overwatch but add 1 to hit rolls in next Fight phase.

Combi-flamer used in the following datasheets:


– may take Combi-flamer as an option.
ASSAULT
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.

Combi-plasma used in the following datasheets:

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:

WOUND ROLL
ATTACK’S STRENGTH vs TARGET’S TOUGHNESSD6 ROLL REQUIRED
Is the Strength TWICE (or more) than the Toughness?2+
Is the Strength GREATER than the Toughness?3+
Is the Strength EQUAL to the Toughness?4+
Is the Strength LOWER than the Toughness?5+
Is the Strength HALF (or less) than the Toughness?6+

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.
