SPECIAL RULES

Acute Senses If a unit contains at least one model with this special rule, and that unit arrives on a random table edge (due to Outflank, or other special rules), then you can re-roll to see which table edge they arrive from. Aid Unlooked For The egion of the !amned always start the game in reserve and always arrive by !eep "trike, even in missions that do not normally use these rules. #ote that the egion of the !amned are renowned to arrive wherever they are most needed, so you can re-roll the deep strike scatter dice if you wish. And They Shall Know No Fear $ unit that contains at least one model with this special rule automatically passes tests to %egroup. The unit can move, shoot (or %un) and declare charges normally in the turn in which it %egroups (in addition to the &' %egroup move). If a unit containing one or more models with this special rule is caught by a "weeping $dvance, they are not destroyed, but remain locked in combat instead. $dditionally, a unit that contains at least one model with this special rule is immune to (ear. Assault Vehicle )assengers disembarking from $ccess )oints on a vehicle with this special rule can charge on the turn they do so, even on a turn that the vehicle was destroyed. attle For!ed "eroes "icarius is accompanied by the finest warriors that the *nd +ompany has to offer.

If a 4eapon !estroyed result is repaired, that weapon can be fired in the following "hooting phase. The Techmarine cannot repair if gone to ground or falling back olster &e#ences Techmarines can increase the effectiveness of cover, reinforcing crumbling walls and welding badly-damaged spars. 0ach Techmarine can bolster a single ruin before the game begins. 4hen you deploy, nominate one ruin in your deployment area for your Techmarine to bolster.

If you include .e5stan then all units in your army lose the +ombat Tactics special rule. Instead, all thunder hammers in your army will count as master-crafted, and all flamers, heavy flamer, meltaguns and multimeltas count as twin-linked.

Co%(at S)uads $ number of ten-man units in the "pace =arines army have the option of breaking down into two five-man units, called combat s,uads. The decision to split the unit into combat s,uads, as well as which models go into each combat s,uad, must be made when the unit is deployed. 9oth combat s,uads can be deployed in separate locations. The one e6ception to this is a unit that arrives by !rop )od. The player can choose to split such a unit into combat s,uads when it disembarks from the !rop )od. If you decide to split a unit into combat s,uads, then each combat s,uad is treated as a separate unit for all game purposes from that point.

SPECIAL RULES
If a unit contains at least one model with this special rule, and that unit is charged, it must immediately take a eadership test. If the test is successful,e very model with the +ounterattack special rule in the unit gets 12 $ttack until the end of the phase. If, when charged, the unit was already locked in combat, the +ounter-attack rule has no effect &ee'strike In order for a unit to be able to !eep "trike, all models in the unit must have the !eep strike special rule and the unit must start the game in reserve. 4hen placing the unit in reserve, you must tell your opponent that it will be arriving by !eep "trike (sometimes called !eep "trike reserve). "ome units that must arrive by !eep "trike. They always begin the game in reserve and always arrive by !eep "trike. 4hen working out how many units can be placed in reserve, units that must be deployed by !eep "trike (along with any models embarked upon them) are ignored. In addition, a unit that must arrive by !eep "trike (such as a !rop )od) must do so. $rriving by !eep "trike %oll for the arrival of all deep striking units as specified in the rules for %eserves and then deploy them as follows (irst, place one model from the unit anywhere on the table, in the position where you would like it to arrive, and roll for scatter to determine the model5s final position. If a vehicle scatters when arriving via !eep "trike, do not change its facing - it must continue to face the same direction as it did before you rolled for scatter. #e6t, the unit5s remaining models are arranged around the first one. =odels must be placed in base contact with the first model in a circle around it. 4hen the first circle is complete, a further concentric circle must be placed with each model touching the circle inside it. 0ach circle must include as many models as will fit. =odels deploying via !eep "trike treat all difficult terrain as dangerous terrain.

In the =ovement phase during which they arrive, deep striking units may not move any further, other than to disembark from a deep striking Transport vehicle if they are in one. >nits deep striking into ruins are placed on the ground floor. !eep striking units count nonruined buildings (e6cept for their battlements) as impassable terrain. In that turn5s "hooting phase, these units can fire (or %un) as normal, and obviously count as having moved in the previous =ovement phase. ;ehicles, e6cept for 4alkers, count as having moved at +ruising "peed (even immobile vehicles). This can affect the number of weapons they can fire with their full ballistic "kill. In that turn5s $ssault phase, however, these units cannot charge. This also applies to units that have disembarked from Transports that arrived by !eep "trike that turn. !eep "trike =ishaps !eep striking onto a crowded battlefield may prove dangerous, as one may arrive miles from the intended ob8ective or even materialise inside solid rock< If any of the models in a deep striking unit cannot be deployed, because at least one model would land partially or fully off the table, in impassable terrain, on top of a friendly model, or on top of or within 2'

If a unit has the (eel #o )ain special rule with a number in brackets afterwards - (eel #o )ain (/1), for e6ample - then the number in brackets is the !/ result needed to discount the 4ound. Fleet $ unit composed entirely of models with this special rule can re-roll one or more of the dice when determining %un moves and charge ranges. *i#t o# Prescience If your army contains Tigurius, you can choose to re-roll any reserve rolls - even successful ones.

This $ttack is resolved during the (ight sub-phase at the Initiative 2D step. This does not grant the model an additional )ile In move at the Initiative 2D step. If a model with this special rule charges a Transport vehicle or building, the .ammer of 4rath hit is resolved against the Transport vehicle or building, not the occupants. "eroic Inter,ention ;anguard ;eterans are famed for arriving at a time and place where their onslaught can make the most difference to a battle. If a 8ump pack e,uipped ;anguard ;eteran s,uad arrives from deep strike, the player can elect for the s,uad to perform a .eroic Intervention - before the deep strike scatter dice are rolled. If he declares a .eroic Intervention, the ;anguard ;eteran s,uad cannot shoot (or run) that turn but can assault (provided they are close enough). This ability cannot be used if an independent character has 8oined the ;anguard ;eteran s,uad. "old the LineIf your army includes )edro :antor, your "ternguard ;eteran s,uads are scoring units.

In order to 8oin a unit, an Independent +haracter simply has to move so that he is within the *' unit coherency distance of a friendly unit at the end of their =ovement phase. If the Independent +haracter is within *' of more than one unit at the end of its =ovement phase, the player must declare which unit it is 8oining. If an Independent +haracter does not intend to (or cannot) 8oin a unit, it must (where possible) remain more than *' away from it at the end of the =ovement phase. This is to make clear whether they have 8oined a unit or not #ote that, after an Independent +haracter 8oins a unit, that unit can move no further that =ovement phase. $n Independent +haracter can leave a unit during the =ovement phase by moving out of unit coherency with it. .e cannot 8oin or leave during any other phase - once shots are fired or charges are declared, it is too late to 8oin in or duck out< $n Independent +haracter cannot leave a unit while either he or the unit is locked in combat, falling back or has gone to ground. .e cannot 8oin a unit that is locked in combat or falling back. If an Independent +haracter 8oins a unit, and all other models in that unit are killed, he again becomes a unit of one model at the start of the following phase. 4hile an Independent +haracter is part of a unit, he counts as part of the unit for all rules purposes, though he still follows the rules for characters. ook Out, "ir Independent +haracters pass look Out, "ir rolls on a *1 .eroic =orale $ unit that contains one or more Independent +haracters does not need a double I to %egroup if reduced to below *3E of its starting numbers, but instead tests as if it had at least *3E remaining.

SPECIAL RULES
"ometimes, a unit that an Independent +haracter has 8oined will be the target of a beneficial or harmful effect, such as those bestowed by the 9lind special rule, for e6ample. If the character leaves the unit, both he and the unit continue to be affected by the effect, so you5ll need to mark the character accordingly. +onversely, if a character 8oins a unit after that unit has been the target of an ongoing effect (or 8oins a unit after himself having been the target of an ongoing effect) benefits and penalties from that effect are not shared. Inertial *uidance Syste%s "hould a !rop )od scatter on top of impassable terrain or another model (friend or foe<) then reduce the scatter distance by the minimum re,uired in order to avoid the obstacle. In#iltrate >nits that contain at least one model with this special rule are deployed last, after all other units (friend and foe) have been deployed. ff both sides have Infiltrators, the players roll-off and the winner decides who goes first, then alternate deploying these units. Infiltrators can be set up anywhere on the table that is more than 2* ' from any enemy unit, as long as no deployed enemy unit can draw line of sight to them.
