Chapter Rules
Special Rules
Although originally derived from the Ultramarines, the Angels of Twilight owe their very existence to the
Blood Angels, from whom their Gene seed was largely replaced after an accident on Mars caused it to
become contaminated, just prior to the Assault on Earth. Because of this, the Chapter derived as much of its
doctrine from that of the teachings of Sangunius, and is in some ways more closely aligned to the Blood
Angels than the Ultramarines.
The Angels of Twilight are a non-Codex Chapter. Much like the Black Templars, they subscribe to the preSecond Found methods of tactics and organization. The Twilight Legion prefers to attack targets with
subtlety, rather than with vast Crusades, and because their skills are so much in demand, they are spread
very thinly indeed. To facilitate this, the Chapter is broken down to functional units at the Company level,
and the limits to the number of squad choices that may be fielded reflect this restriction.
Company Level Doctrine
The Chapter always operates in regimented units. Much as other Chapters replace a Sergeant with a Veteran
Sergeant, the Angels of Twilight replace Battle brothers with Character models; there are no independent
models fielded in the army.
This includes Terminators, who rather than comprising the First Company, as in most Chapters are
actually allocated to each company, to be used as the commander sees fit. Likewise, one Tactical Squad will
always be fielded, no matter what other units are committed to the fight.
If a Veteran Squad (not Terminator Squad) is fielded, you may opt to place them into a Groundspeeder
squadron at the normal cost for the vehicles. This squadron may be up to five vehicles in size, as required.
Vehicles and Techmarines
Because of the Company Level Doctrine, the Angels of Twilight are at a bit of a disadvantage when it
comes to vehicular support. Bikes and Speeders are uncommon, at best, as the Chapter focuses on
maintaining the Machine Spirits of its Armored Fighting Vehicles. Therefore, Jump Packs tend to be used
more often than APCs; Razorbacks are more common than Rhinos, etc.
The Chapters dependence on self reliance means that the number of Techmarines tends to be higher when
the Angels of Twilight are in the field, and having one Techmarine per Vehicle (or Squadron) is not
uncommon.

Track Damage Table
The Grav Motor is damaged. The Skyshark must move at slow speed for the rest of the
game.
The engine looses power is a display of pyrotechnics. The vehicle crashes to the
ground, as per the Grav-Attack rules.
Hull Damage Table
The driver is killed. Unless the position is taken over by the gunner, the vehicle will
move out of control until it has a collision, drives off the board, or the game ends.
A large explosion tears through the crew compartment. Any models on board are killed
on a D6 roll of 4+.
The engine explodes. All models on board are killed, and the vehicle immediately
plummets to the ground. Any model hit by the Skyshark will suffer D6 hits equivalent
to ram attacks.
The fuel tank ignites and the vehicle bursts into flames. All models on board are killed,
and the flaming wreck moves out of control as it sinks to the ground. Any model within
3 of the point where it stops will be hit as if by a heavy flamer.
The ammunition explodes. Those on board are killed as the vehicle is torn apart, and
any model within 3 of the point where it blows are hit by D10 S-5 hits with a -1 save.
Weapon Damage Table
The Whirlwind multi-launcher is damaged, and may only fire indirectly on a roll of 4+
(check each turn).
The multi-launcher goes haywire, and fires a barrage at a random target. Roll a scatter
die to determine the direction of the barrage. Place the 3 Blast Marker on the first
model (friend or foe) within range and work out the rest of the effects as normal. The
multi-launcher will not fire in the next turn.
The gunner is killed; the multi-launcher must be manned by another crewman to fire.
The turret is blown off. All models in the Skyshark are killed, and debris flies in a
2D6 in a radius. Any models hit by it take D4 S-3 hits with a -1 save modifier.

Terminator Armor
Rare
45 pointsImperium only
This is powered armor augmented by an exo-skeletal lifting frame, and provides a modified save 3+ on
2D6. The wearer may carry a single heavy weapon without penalty. All of the suits are linked, and feed all
tactical data to every other suit on the field, and allow its wearer to utilize the LOS of other models in the
squad. It is completely sealed against all environmental effects (gas, bacteria, flamers, etc.). Because it is so
bulky, the wearer cannot throw grenades; if it is deactivated, its wearer is effectively helpless, and may not
move or fire. Terminator armor comes equipped with a targeter and Power Glove as standard.
