Rules:
Oath of Moment If your Army Faction is Adeptus Astartes, at the start of your Command phase, select one unit from your opponent’s army.
Until the start of your next Command phase, that enemy unit is your Oath of Moment target. Each time a model with
this ability makes an attack that targets your Oath of Moment target:
% You can reroll the Hit roll
% If your army does not include one or more units with the Black Templars, Blood Angels, Dark Angels, Deathwatch or Space
Wolves keywords, add 1 to the Wound roll as well.
Leader While a Bodyguard unit contains a Leader, it is known as an Attached unit and, with the exception of rules that are triggered
when units are destroyed (pg 12), it is treated as a single unit for all rules purposes. Each time an attack targets an Attached
unit, until the attacking unit has resolved all of its attacks, you must use the Toughness characteristic of the Bodyguard models
in that unit, even if a Leader in that unit has a different Toughness characteristic. Each time an attack successfully wounds an
Attached unit, that attack cannot be allocated to a Character model in that unit, even if that Character model has lost one or
more wounds or has already had attacks allocated to it this phase. As soon as the last Bodyguard model in an Attached unit
has been destroyed, any attacks made against that unit that have yet to be allocated can then be allocated to Character
models in that unit.
Each time the last model in a Bodyguard unit is destroyed, each CHARACTER unit that is part of that Attached unit becomes
a separate unit, with its original Starting Strength. If this happens as the result of an attack, they become separate units after
the attacking unit has resolved all of its attacks.
Each time the last model in a CHARACTER unit that is attached to a Bodyguard unit is destroyed and there is not another
CHARACTER unit attached, that Attached unit’s Bodyguard unit becomes a separate unit, with its original Starting Strength. If
this happens as the result of an attack, they become separate units after the attacking unit has resolved all of its attacks.
Each time a unit that is part of an Attached unit is destroyed, it does not have the keywords of any other units that make up
that Attached unit (unless it has those keywords on its own datasheet) for the purposes of any rules that would be triggered
when that unit is destroyed.
Pistol Weapons with [PISTOL] in their profile are known as Pistols. If a unit contains any models equipped with Pistols, that unit is
eligible to shoot in its controlling player’s Shooting phase even while it is within Engagement Range of one or more enemy
units. When such a unit is selected to shoot, it can only resolve attacks using its Pistols and can only target one of the enemy
units it is within Engagement Range of. In such circumstances, a Pistol can target an enemy unit even if other friendly units
are within Engagement Range of the same enemy unit.
If a model is equipped with one or more Pistols, unless it is a MONSTER or VEHICLE model, it can either shoot with its Pistols
or with all of its other ranged weapons. Declare whether such a model will shoot with its Pistols or its other ranged weapons
before selecting targets.
Twin-linked Weapons with [TWIN-LINKED] in their profile are known as Twin-linked weapons. Each time an attack is made with such a
weapon, you can re-roll that attack’s Wound roll.
Feel No Pain 5+ Some models have 'Feel No Pain x+' listed in their abilities. Each time a model with this ability suffers damage and so would
lose a wound (including wounds lost due to mortal wounds), roll one D6: if the result is greater than or equal to the number
denoted by 'x: that wound is ignored and is not lost. If a model has more than one Feel No Pain ability, you can only use one
of those abilities each time that model suffers damage and so would lose a wound.
Infiltrators During deployment, if every model in a unit has this ability, then when you set it up, it can be set up anywhere on the battlefield
that is more than 9" horizontally away from the enemy deployment zone and all enemy models.
Lone Operative Unless part of an Attached unit, this unit can only be selected as the target of a ranged attack if the attacking model is within
12".
Stealth If every model in a unit has this ability, then each time a ranged attack is made against it, subtract 1 from that attack’s Hit roll.
Anti- Weapons with [ANTI-KEYWORD X+] in their profile are known as Anti weapons. Each time an attack is made with such a
weapon against a target with the keyword after the word ‘Anti-’, an unmodified Wound roll of ‘x+’ scores a Critical Wound.
Devastating Wounds Weapons with [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] in their profile are known as Devastating Wounds weapons. Each time an attack is
made with such a weapon, if that attack scores a Critical Wound, no saving throw of any kind can be made against that attack
(including invulnerable saving throws). Such attacks are only allocated to models after all other attacks made by the attacking
unit have been allocated and resolved. After that attack is allocated and after any modifiers are applied, it inflicts a number of
mortal wounds on the target equal to the Damage characteristic of that attack, instead of inflicting damage normally.
Rapid Fire Weapons with [RAPID FIRE X] in their profile are known as Rapid Fire weapons. Each time such a weapon targets a unit
within half that weapon’s range, the Attacks characteristic of that weapon is increased by the amount denoted by ‘x’.
Sustained Hits Weapons with [SUSTAINED HITS X] in their profile are known as Sustained Hits weapons. Each time an attack is made with
such a weapon, if a Critical Hit is rolled, that attack scores a number of additional hits on the target as denoted by ‘x’
Extra Attacks Weapons with [EXTRA ATTACKS] in their profile are known as Extra Attacks weapons. Each time the bearer of one or more
Extra Attacks weapons fights, it makes attacks with each of the Extra Attacks melee weapons it is equipped with and it makes
attacks with one of the melee weapons it is equipped with that does not have the [EXTRA ATTACKS] ability (if any). The
number of attacks made with an Extra Attacks weapon cannot be modified by other rules, unless that weapon’s name is
explicitly specified in that rule.
Assault Weapons with [ASSAULT] in their profile are known as Assault weapons. If a unit that Advanced this turn contains any models
equipped with Assault weapons, it is still eligible to shoot in this turn’s Shooting phase. When such a unit is selected to shoot,
you can only resolve attacks using Assault weapons its models are equipped with.
Heavy Weapons with [HEAVY] in their profile are known as Heavy weapons. Each time an attack is made with such a weapon, if the
attacking model’s unit Remained Stationary this turn, add 1 to that attack’s Hit roll.
Blast Weapons with [BLAST] in their profile are known as Blast weapons, and they make a random number of attacks. Each time
you determine how many attacks are made with a Blast weapon, add 1 to the result for every five models that were in the
target unit when you selected it as the target (rounding down). Blast weapons can never be used to make attacks against a
unit that is within Engagement Range of one or more units from the attacking model’s army (including its own unit).
Deep Strike During the Declare Battle Formations step, if every model in a unit has this ability, you can set it up in Reserves instead of
setting it up on the battlefield. If you do, in the Reinforcements step of one of your Movement phases you can set up this unit
anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" horizontally away from all enemy models.
If a unit with the Deep Strike ability arrives from Strategic Reserves, the controlling player can choose for that unit to be set up
either using the rules for Strategic Reserves or using the Deep Strike ability.
Hazardous Weapons with [HAZARDOUS] in their profile are known as Hazardous weapons. Each time a unit is selected to shoot or fight,
after that unit has resolved all of its attacks, for each Hazardous weapon that targets were selected for when resolving those
attacks, that unit must take one Hazardous test. To do so, roll one D6: on a 1, that test is failed. For each failed test you must
resolve the following sequence (resolve each failed test one at a time):
% If possible, select one model in that unit that has lost one or more wounds and is equipped with one or more Hazardous
weapons.
% Otherwise, if possible, select one model in that unit (excluding CHARACTER models) equipped with one or more Hazardous
weapons.
% Otherwise, select one CHARACTER model in that unit equipped with one or more Hazardous weapons.
If a model was selected, that unit suffers 3 mortal wounds and when allocating those mortal wounds, they must be allocated to
the selected model.
If a unit from a player’s army is selected as the target of the Fire Overwatch Stratagem in their opponent’s Charge phase, any
mortal wounds inflicted by Hazardous tests are allocated after the charging unit has ended its Charge move.
Feel No Pain Some models have 'Feel No Pain x+' listed in their abilities. Each time a model with this ability suffers damage and so would
lose a wound (including wounds lost due to mortal wounds), roll one D6: if the result is greater than or equal to the number
denoted by 'x: that wound is ignored and is not lost. If a model has more than one Feel No Pain ability, you can only use one
of those abilities each time that model suffers damage and so would lose a wound.
Scouts 6" Some units have ‘Scouts x"’ listed in their abilities. If every model in a unit has this ability, then at the start of the first battle
round, before the first turn begins, it can make a Normal move of up to x", with the exception that, while making that move, the
distance moved by each model in that unit can be greater than that model's Move characteristic, as long as it is not greater
than x".
DEDICATED TRANSPORT models can make use of any Scouts x" ability listed in their abilities, or a Scouts x" ability that a
unit that starts the battle embarked within that DEDICATED TRANSPORT model has (provided only models with this ability
are embarked within that Dedicated Transport model), regardless of how that embarked unit gained this ability (e.g. listed in
their abilities, conferred by an Enhancement or by an attached Character, etc.).
A unit that moves using this ability must end that move more than 9" horizontally away from all enemy models. If both players
have units that can do this, the player who is taking the first turn moves their units first.
Precision Weapons with [PRECISION] in their profile are known as Precision weapons. Each time an attack made with such a weapon
successfully wounds an Attached unit, if a Character model in that unit is visible to the attacking model, the attacking model’s
player can choose to have that attack allocated to that Character model instead of following the normal attack sequence.
Deadly Demise D3 Some models have 'Deadly Demise x' listed in their abilities. When such a model is destroyed, roll one D6 before removing it
from play (if such a model is a TRANSPORT, roll before any embarked models disembark). On a 6, each unit within 6" of that
model suffers a number of mortal wounds denoted by 'x' (if this is a random number, roll separately for each unit within 6").
