Shadow War: Heresy

An Unofficial Shadow Wars: Armageddon Supplement set in 31st Millennium

1.2
Welcome to Shadow War: Heresy! The purpose of Shadow War: Heresy (or SW:H) is to
allow games of Shadow Wars: Armageddon to be played during the height of the Horus
Heresy.

GENERAL NOTES

When playing SW:H, please use the Shadow Wars: Armageddon ruleset as the as this
supplement was designed around it. However, all Wargear from SW:A should be
replaced by the Wargear page in this supplement. In addition, there are several other
rules added to the game to generate and replicate the same Horus Heresy feel
represented by game played in the Age of Darkness.

In addition, Shadow War: Heresy is a standalone game and is not balanced to armed
from the 41st millennium.

Rule of Cool: If at any point, you and your opponent come across a snag in the rules,
formulate and agree upon a solution that would most appropriately make sense within
the current state of the game. Remember, battles during the Horus Heresy are all about
the cinematics and storytelling, EVEN IF PLAYING IN AN EVENT! Rule of cool should
always take precedence.

For the Love of The Game: The Battles in the Age of Darkness (Warhammer 30k),
have a reputation of being a game based upon fun with the intent of recreating the
thematic and exciting battles of the Horus Heresy. There is an unspoken code of
honesty and fair play that is strongly rooted within the community worldwide. This
unofficial code also applies to Shadow War: Heresy: be honest when rolling for psychic
powers, skills, and other effects that affect your roster. Keep in mind that, while there is
an overwhelming sense of joy to be had when you win, the story created around each
encounter and Kill Team should be basis of the Shadow War: Heresy experience.
NEW RULES
Battlefield Roles
Battlefield Roles are a new element to the ruleset. During Kill Team recruitment, a
player may purchase a Battlefield Role for Legion Sergeants, Tactical Marines, or
Tactical Support Marines. When a Legion Tactical Marine is promoted after surviving 3
games he may upgrade into a Battlefield Role without paying the Battlefield Role cost,
but must adhere to the gear requirements of that Battlefield Role. If the player wants to
hold off on taking a role for the Tactical Marine he may do so until a later time.
Regardless of the choice when a Tactical Marine is promoted it is changed from a
Recruit to a Trooper.

Upgrading and Promoting into a Battlefield Role

When a Tactical Marine is promoted and takes a Battlefield Role, he must sell
back all equipment that is not available to his new role. He may also sell back
any other equipment he has unless it is a wargear requirement for that Role. The
refunded points must be used to finish adhering to Battlefield Role gear
requirements. There is a limit of 3 specialists per kill team.

If a Legion Tactical Support decides to take on a Battlefield Role in a re-arm

phase, he must sell back all equipment that is not available to his new role and
any legal equipment unless it is a gear requirement. He must use his refunded
points to finish adhering to Battlefield Role gear requirements as well as the cost
of taking on the new role.

If a Legion Sergeant decides to take on a Battlefield Role, he gains all the

benefits of the new role in addition to any upgrades he could take before at no
additional cost; the Battlefield Role is free. A Legion Sergeant who takes on a
Battlefield Role must still adhere to the roles requirements as usual.

In certain situations, it may be impossible for a model who trades in his former
wargear to adhere to the new Battlefield Role gear requirements. If this is the
case, you may trade in Promethium for Wargear points at a ratio of 1 Promethium
Cache to 100 wargear points. Once all Battlefield Role Requirements have been
made, any excess points may be spent as he sees fit or given to a friendly model
in the kill team. In addition, a model may only ever have one Battlefield Role and
once purchased may never change it.
Standard Game Size
The standard game size in Shadow War: Heresy is 1500 pts.

Deep Strike
When a model deep strikes on the table place the model where you would like it to land
and roll 2d6 and a scatter die. On the roll of a 2 the model has had an accident as it
attempted to deep strike. It is automatically out of action. On a hit on the scatter die the
model remains where it is. Otherwise move the model the direction the arrow points on
the scatter die a number of inches equal to the 2d6. If this would put the model in
impassible terrain, inside terrain, or on top of a model move the model the shortest
amount required to keep this from happening. Models deep striking in base to base
contact of an enemy model count as charging but do not gain a bonus to the combat
total for charging.

Psychic-Powers
Psychic Powers operate a little differently in Shadow War: Heresy. To cast a Psychic
Power, roll 2d6. If you meet or beat the casting value of the power, the power is
successfully cast. However, if you fail to cast the power you must take a Ld test with a -
1 penalty. If passed, all is well. If failed, the casting model is immediately pinned until
the casting players next game turn as the model suffers a psychic seizure. If a double 6
is rolled, the power is cast and the model is immediately pinned until the players next
game turn with no test as the psychic overload is too much. If this power is used to
move the model then they are pinned after they make this move. If this were part of a
declared charge move it fails, the model is pinned instead.

Mastercrafted
Ranged weapons with the Mastercrafted Special Rule may reroll the first failed Ammo
Check roll they make. Melee weapons with the Mastercrafted Special Rule allow the
wielder to reroll one fumble dice in Hand to Hand.

Description
Banestrike ammo reduces a Bolter or Combi-bolters (Bolter side only) short and long
range by 3" (0-9" and 9-18"). It does not affect the range of a Heavy Bolter. On a roll
to wound of 6 the save modifier is increased from -1 to -3. Bolters, Bolt Pistols, Combi-
Bolters, and Heavy Bolters only.
The model's Flamer, Combi-flamer (flamer side only), and Heavy Flamer may reroll to
wound but are Unreliable.
Kraken Bolt Shells increase a Bolter or Combi-bolters (Bolter side only) short and long
range by 3" (0-15" and 15-30"). In addition, the save modifier is increased from -1 to -
2.
A Heavy Bolter firing Molecular Acid Shells has a save modifier of d6. Roll each
instance you fire the Heavy Bolter but not for each shot generated by the sustained
fire dice. Molecular Acid Rounds always wound on a 3+, unless a better save would
be required.
Scorpius Bolt Shells increase a Bolter or Combi-Bolters (Bolter side only) Strength to
5, save modifier to -3, and are Move or Fire.

Shrapnel Bolts
Tempest Bolt Shells
Heavy Bolters with Shrapnel Bolts cause a Flesh-wound on a result of 1-3 on the
injury table and their save modifier is reduced from -2 to -1. Heavy Bolters only.
Tempest Bolt Shells decrease the range of a Bolter or Combi-bolters (Bolter side only)
short and long range by 3" (0-9" and 9-18") when firing this round. In addition, the
save modifier is decreased from -1 to -. The small blast is used to resolve Tempest
Bolt Shells.

Armour Description
Artificer Armour 2+ armour save.

Boarding Shield A Boarding shield provides a 6+ invulnerable save and a 5+ invulnerable save in close
combat. Enemy models do not gain the +1 benefit in Hand to Hand for charging. If you
charge you inflict an automatic S3 hit on your opponent which resolves before combat.
Cataphractii Terminator 3+ armour save on 2d6. 4+ Invulnerable save. When models in Cataphractii Terminator
Armour Armour run, or charge, their Movement is reduced by one (i.e. they charge or run at 6" on
open ground and 3" through terrain). A model in Cataphractii Terminator Armour may not
automatically hit enemy models who run from a Hand to Hand combat they are involved in.
Models in Cataphractii Terminator Armour cannot be pinned. A model in Cataphractii Pattern
Terminator Armour ignores the Move or Shoot special rule.

Combat Shield A Combat Shield provides a 6+ invulnerable save. In addition, you may parry, even if your
weapon does not allow you to. If your weapon may already parry, you may enact a second
parry on a turn that you were charged.

8
Gorgon Pattern Terminator 3+ armour save on 2d6. 5+ Invulnerable save. A model in Gorgon Pattern Terminator Armour
Armour cannot be pinned except by high impact weapons. Whenever a model in Gorgon Pattern
Terminator Armour makes an armour save any enemy model w/in 6" must make an Initiative
check. If it is failed their WS and BS are -1 until the next turn of whichever players turns it
currently is. A model in Gorgon Pattern Terminator Armour ignores the Move or Shoot
special rule.

from Template weapons.

Grenade Strength Damage Modifier Description
Breacher Charge Demolition. Small blast.
You may choose to use a breacher charge in Hand to Hand. Place a
small blast marker in base to base with the model equipped with the
7 d6 -4 Breacher Charge. If it wins combat leave the marker where it is and
resolve it as a template ranged attack normally would using the
Breacher Charge stats. If the model loses Hand to Hand, before the
model is struck by the enemy, scatter the template d6" and resolve.
Frag Grenade 3 1 - Large Blast.
Krak Grenade 6 d6 -3 Demolition. Unwieldy.
Meltabombs 8 2d6 -5 Demolition.
Phosphex Bombs Small Blast. Poisonous (Phosphex bombs wound any model on a 3+
regardless of toughness). A Phosphex bomb may be thrown at a point
within range. Leave the template after the grenade is thrown to indicate
the radiation zone. Any model entering the area or beginning their turn
Special 1 -3
inside of it suffers a hit as if hit by the grenade. At the start of the
controlling player's turn roll a D6: D6: 1 Cloud remains where it is but
disperses at the end of the player turn. 2-4 Cloud remains where it is. 5-
6 Cloud moves d6" towards the nearest model.
Rad Grenade Small Blast. A Rad Grenade may be thrown at a point within range.
Leave the template after the grenade is thrown to indicate the radiation
d6+d3 1 -3
zone. Any model entering the area or beginning their turn inside of it
suffers a hit as if hit by the grenade. At the start of the controlling

9
 player's turn roll a D6: 1 Zone dissipates. 2-3 Zone remains where it is
but dissipates at the end of the player turn. 4-6 Zone remains where it
is.
Shroud Bombs Small Blast. A Shroud Bomb may be thrown at a point within range. If
the model centers the blast on themselves then don't roll to hit or
scatter. Leave the template after the grenade is thrown to indicate the
cloud. No troops may draw line of sight through, into, or out of a Blind
n/a n/a n/a cloud. Models in Hand to Hand inside a blind cloud may fight but halve
their WS rounding up. At the start of the controlling player's turn roll a
D6: 1 Cloud remains where it is but disperses at the end of the player
turn. 2-4 Cloud remains where it is. 5-6 Cloud scatters d6" away. On a
roll of a hit it moves the direction indicated by the arrow.
Venom Spheres Large Blast. Venom Spheres always wound on a 4+, regardless of
1 1 -1
Toughness.
Yimira Class Small Blast.
Stasis Bomb Determine where the grenade hits as normal. Everything within the area
is trapped within the Stasis Bomb. Models whose bases are only
partially within the area are trapped on a 4+. If they are not trapped,
move these models to the outside edge of the blast template. As long as
the stasis is active, no model inside may activate. In addition, no model
may shoot or charge a model inside the stasis. It is not possible to shoot
Special Special Special
through the stasis area but you can see through it. At the beginning of
the owners turn, roll a die. On the result of a 3+ the stasis continues.
On the roll of a 1 or 2, the stasis dissipates.
Furthermore, for each enemy still trapped in Stasis at the end of the
game, roll a d6. On the roll of a 4+, that model is considered Captured.
Treat this as a roll of a 4+ described under the "Dead...or Worse"
Serious Injury result.

Special Equipment Description
Jump Pack Instead of making a normal move the model equipped with a Jump Pack may make a
move up to 18" away. Roll a scatter die after the model is placed. On an arrow the
model scatters 1d3" in that direction. If declaring a charge a model may move up to
4" after landing to engage in Hand to Hand. If landing in an area higher than the
model started, reduce the distance of the possible jump for every 6" increment up to a
minimum of 12' up and 6" forward.
Medkit (Narthecium) A model equipped with a Medkit in base to base contact with another model may do
one of the following instead of firing a weapon in the shooting phase: Remove a flesh
wound from that model, move it from downed to pinned, restore a wound to a model
up to their starting wounds characteristic on a roll of a 5+. A Kill Team with a model
equipped with a Medkit may reroll major injury results for models that were out of
action at the end of a game.
Servo Arm A model equipped with a Servo Arm receives an additional attack and is not at -1 in
Hand to Hand due to being encumbered. Additionally, before every game they may
"master craft" d3 of the weapons equipped by the Kill Team. This upgrade only lasts
for the duration of that game.
Sonic Shrieker When a model equipped with the Sonic Shrieker charges, the target may not fire
Overwatch.

16
Space Marine Bike A model on a bike may move 16" in the movement phase but may not run, double
their move when making a charge, or climb ladders. Their movement is halved if
moving through terrain.

A Space Marine Bike is equipped with two bolters. Instead of firing a weapon in the
shooting phase a model on a bike may fire both bike mounted bolters at the same
target. If an ammo check is failed with one, both guns are considered to be out of
ammo.

When a model on a Space Marine bike is hit with a shooting attack roll a D3:
1 The rider is hit resolve the hit against the rider. If the rider is downed place them
next to the bike (or not if taken out of action) and then resolve as a "Bike Flip" result
below.
2-3 The hit is resolved against the bike. Consult the chart below.

The bike has a Toughness value of 6. If the bike is wounded roll a D6:

1-2 Shaken: The model may not shoot any of its ranged weapons during their next
turn.
3 Stunned: The model may only move up to 8" in their next movement phase and
may not shoot any of its ranged weapons during their next turn.
4 Bike Flips: The model is taken out of action and the bike lands d6" away in a
random direction. Any model underneath is takes d3 S6 hits with a -2 save modifier.
5 Engine Explodes: The model is taken out of action and the bike comes to a halt.
6 Bike Explodes: The model is taken out of action and the bike explodes doing d3
S8 hits with a -3 save modifier to anyone within 3". If the model equipped with the
space marine bike survives a result of 4-6 they may not use their bike in the following
game. If the team has a model equipped with a servo arm then the model may use
the bike in the following game on the roll of a 2+. This roll is made during post-game.
Suspensor Web A model equipped may move and shoot with a weapon with the "Move or Shoot" rule
but halves (rounded up) both the short and long range if they do so.

BATTLEFIELD EFFECTS
You and your opponent may want to play in a more dangerous environment. If so, roll a D6 and
consult the chart below. During Campaign Play, using Battlefield Effects allows the winner to roll
2d3 and pick the highest when rolling for Promethium Cache points. Battlefield Effects are
always optional unless the mission requires a specific setting or random effect.

BATTLEFIELD EFFECTS (D6):

1 Drowning Swamp - No models may run. Space Marine Bikes cannot move more than
8. Before moving roll a d6. On a 1 the model is pinned. Models with Jump Packs must make
this test when landing as well.

2 Endless Fog - Any units in the open are considered to be in partial cover. Models in
partial cover are considered to be in cover and models in cover are at -3 when shot at.

3 Irradiated Zone - At the beginning of every players turn make a Toughness test for any
model not equipped with Void Hardened Armour (Hardened Void Armour), Void Armour, or
Terminator Armour. If failed that model suffers a wound with no saves allowed.

4 Night Eternal - All , Fear, Terror, and bottle tests are taken at -1 ld. Night Lords and
Raven Guard are unaffected by this rule.

5 Frozen Plain - Before movement every model must make a toughness test. If failed the
model must reduce its Weapon Skill, Ballistic Skill, and all moves (A normal move, run moves,
jumping moves, charges etc) by -1. Weapons ignore the first result of two ones rolled as a
result of an Unreliable roll.

6 Volcanic Flats - When setting up this table place at least 2d3 portions of lava using
water effects such as rivers or lakes. This represents lava or superheated liquids. Any model
that moves within or begins their turn in the lava takes an automatic S8 hit with a -5 sv
modifier. If a model goes down or is pinned while inside of the lava they are automatically out
of action. Any model w/in 6 of the outer edge of lava is at -1 to their WS and BS.

 MISSIONS
Scorched Earth
Intelligence shows the enemy have placed a strategic supply depot deep in the conflict zone.
Find it and burn it to the ground
Terrain - Determine who is the attacker and the defender. Take turns placing the terrain starting
with the defender. After set up the defender places 3 storage depot pieces of terrain. These may
not be more than 8 from another depot and not w/in 12 from a board edge. The defending
player deploys their entire force anywhere within 8 of the depots. The attacker assigns a 1-4 to
the table edges. Roll

The Mission - The attackers must destroy the three storage depots. Each has a toughness of 6
and has 3 wounds. When the last wound is lost they are considered destroyed. The depots are
filled with vital supplies (fuel, food, ammunition etc) and as such can be wounded by a sustained
source of heat. Flamers and Heavy Flamers wound the depots on a 3+ regardless their
Strength.

Kill Team Deployment - The defenders deploy

Starting the Game - Both players roll a dice to see who goes first.

Ending the Game - If the attackers fail or choose to fail a bottle test and the storage depots
haven't been destroyed then they lose the mission and the defenders win instead.

SPECIAL
Efficient: If the attackers destroyed all of the supply depots within the first two game turns of
the game they receive an additional Promethium Cache.

Give No Ground: If the attackers destroyed none of the depots before the game ended then
the defender receives and additional Promethium Cache.

19
Server Climb
Records have been found placing the location of a cogitator holding vital warfront data. Be the
first to retrieve the data and kill anyone in your way.

Terrain - Set up a stack of terrain at least two levels high in the center of the board. A marker
representing the cogitator is placed on the top. Then players take turns placing terrain.

Kill Team Deployment - Roll to see which team will set up first. The player who wins deploys
his entire team w/in 8 of the board edge of their choice. The other player deploys their entire
team w/in 8 of the opposite board edge.

The Mission - Each team is trying to retrieve the data first. To do this a model must end their
move in base contact with the Cogitator. If they are not pinned, downed, or taken out of action
before their next movement phase then they have retrieved the data.

Starting the Game - Both players roll a dice to determine who goes first.

Ending the Game - The first team to retrieve the data and then escape off of their board edge
or bottle out wins. If one team bottles out before the data has been retrieved then the other team
has won.

SPECIAL
Breach & Clear: If the team escapes off their board edge instead of bottling out then they
receive D3 Caches instead of 1 for winning.

20
Package Retrieval
A drop pod has crashed deep in no mans land. It's occupants have all been killed but still
contained within is an artifact of unparalleled importance that could turn the tide of the war.
Secure the objective and await for extraction.

Terrain - Players take turns placing terrain. Leave a circle in the center of the table 8 in
diameter. Place a drop pod or wreckage marker representing the artifact. The team with the
most models in base to base contact with the drop pod or artifact marker are said to be in
control of it.

Kill Team Deployment - Roll to see who deploys first. The winner deploys their entire team
within 8 of the table edge of their choice. The enemy deploys within 8 of the opposite edge.

The Mission - The team in control of drop pod or artifact at the end of the game wins.

Starting the Game - Both players roll to see who goes first. The winner goes first.

Ending the Game - After five full game turns the extraction vehicles sent by both sides arrive
and the game ends. If one team fails or chooses to fail a bottle test before the five turns is up
then the other team wins.

SPECIAL
Package Safe: The winning team receives D3 Promethium Caches instead of 1.

21
Search and Rescue
A team returning from patrol was ambushed just minutes from our base. Get out there and
rescue them. We can't afford to lose any men.

Terrain This mission should be played on a 2x2 square. Place a transport (ie a rhino or a drop
pod) in one corner of the table and place three injured infantry (marines or Solar Auxilia laid face
down) w/in 3 of the transport. Players then take turns
deploying terrain.

Kill Team Deployment - Draw a line from the corners of the

table to the left and right of the corner that the transport is
located. The defenders (ambushers) deploy up to 6 away
from this line and towards the transport. The attackers (rescue
team) deploy within 24 of the table corner opposite the
transport.

The Mission - The survivors of the ambush can be moved by

the attacking player up to 2 in their movement phase. If the
survivors are in base to base with a friendly model (attackers)
they may move 4 in the movement phase so long as that model moves (and stays in base to
base) only up to 4 as well. The survivors may not be assaulted or shot in any way but will begin
to succumb to their injuries. At the beginning of game turn two randomly pick one of the
survivors, that model dies and is removed from the table. If a model with a medikit
(Narthecium) comes into base to base contact with a survivor they do not need to roll to see if
they are removed from the table on the following game turns.

Starting the Game - Both players roll off to see who gets the first turn.

Ending the Game - If a survivor is w/in 4 of one of the two table edges that form the corner the
attackers deployed from they are removed and the attackers score 3 points. If the defender fails
or chooses to fail a bottle test the attacker receives 1 point for every survivor still on the table.
For every survivor that dies and is removed the defenders get 3 points. The side with the most
points wins.

SPECIAL - No Man Left Behind: If no survivors are left on the table and none were rescued by
the attackers the defenders receive an additional Promethium Cache.

22
The Pit
Sensor sweeps have placed an ancient Admech tech cache in the depths of a massive crater.
Recon the area and bring back any relics you find. Be aware the sweeps revealed enemy
patrols enroute as well as something else. Something large...

Terrain - Place rocky or hilly terrain around the board edge to raise the edge at least 6. Players
then take turns placing terrain. From the center of the table scatter (2d6) d6 loot counters.
Place the beast in the center of the table.

Kill Team Deployment - Roll to see who deploys first. The winner deploys their entire team
within 8 of the table edge of their choice. The enemy deploys within 8 of the opposite edge.

The Mission - Loot counters may be picked up by any model that moves over them in the
movement phase. A model can carry any amount of loot counters without affecting their
movement, shooting, or Hand to Hand. Models who go out of action drop their counters.
Replace the model with the counters they were holding. Models may transfer counters to each
other if they are in base to base in the shooting phase but neither of them can shoot. If a model
is taken out of action in Hand to Hand the counter transfers automatically to the enemy.

The Beast - The beast is a monstrous hulk, mechanical or living. Use a model on a 60mm base
to represent the beast (A Tyranid, a close combat contemptor etc). The Beast activates at the
beginning of every player turn and will move towards or charge the closest model within 12. If a
model shoots the Beast it will move towards that model if there are no other models within 12.
The Beast is immune to pinning and checks, causes Terror, and has a 3+ save on 2d6.

The Beast
Monster .
M WS BS S T W I A Ld
The Beast 6 6 1 6 7 4 5 4 10

Starting the Game - Both players roll to see who goes first. The winner goes first.

Ending the Game - If a team fails or chooses to fail a bottle test the game ends. If The Beast is still alive
roll a D6 for every remaining, unclaimed loot counter. On a 4+ the other team claims that counter. If The
Beast is dead they automatically claim any counters left. If a model with a counter is within 8 from a table
edge at the start of their turn remove them from the table edge. Once all the counters are gone the game
ends. The team who claimed the most counters wins. Roll a d6 for each counter the winning team
claimed. On a 6 that team receives an additional promethium cache.
