3 The enemies of the Emperor fear

many things.

They fear discovery, defeat,

despair and death.

Yet there is one thing they fear

above all others.

They fear the wrath of the Space

Marines!

(5)

4 They shall be my finest

warriors, these men who

give of themselves to me.

Like clay I shall mould them,

and in the furnace

of war forge them.

They will be of iron will and

steely muscle.

In great armour shall I clad

them and with the

(6)

5 mightiest guns will they be

armed.

They will be untouched by

plague or disease, no

sickness will blight them.

They will have tactics,

strategies and machines so

that no foe can best them in

battle.

They are my bulwark against

the Terror. They

are the Defenders of

Humanity.

They are my Space Marines

AND THEY SHALL KNOW NO FEAR.

6 -Space Marine Special Rules-_________________________________________

(8)

7

A unit that contains at least one model with this special rule automatically passes tests to Regroup. The unit cannot move, but may shoot (or Run) and declare charges normally in the turn in which it Regroups, in addition to the 3" Regroup move. Additionally, a unit that contains at least one model with this special rule is immune to Fear.

Bolter Drill

If a model with this special rule shoots with a boltgun, storm bolter, bolt pistol or the boltgun portion of a combi-weapon, and they did not move in the preceding Movement phase, they may fire that weapon twice. Both rounds of shooting must target the same unit. When determining whether the unit is in Rapid Fire range, measure each round of shooting separately to determine which models are within range. Relentless models and models that otherwise count as stationary even after moving must still refrain from moving to benefit from this special rule.

Combat Squads

A unit with this special rule that consists of ten models may choose to break down into two 5 man combat squads. The controlling player must decide which units are splitting into combat squads immediately before deployment. A unit split into combat squads, therefore, is now two separate units for all game purposes including calculating the total number of units in the army. Then proceed with deployment as normal. Note that two combat squads split from the same unit can embark on the same transport vehicle, providing its transport capacity allows.

Once the player has decided whether or not to split a unit into combat squads, it must remain that way for the entire battle. It cannot split up or join back together later on in the battle, nor can the player use a redeployment to split up a unit or join it back together.

Combat Tactics

A non-Fearless Space Marine unit with this special rule can choose to, after passing any Morale check it is called upon to take, instead treat the result as a failure. If a unit is caught by a Sweeping Advance as a result of utilizing this special rule, they are not destroyed, but remain locked in combat instead. If a unit without Combat Tactics is joined by a model that has it, the entire unit gains the rule for as long as the character is attached.

Drop Pod Assault

At the beginning of the controlling player’s first turn, all Drop Pods (including Deathstorm Drop Pods) that have purchased this special rule will enter play automatically, as if they had successfully come in from reserve. Only half the Drop Pods in the army (including Deathstorm Drop Pods) may purchase this special rule.

Terminator armor have the Bulky, Deep Strike and Relentless special rules and may not make Sweeping Advances.

Victory often rests on the correct weaponry being in the right place and at the right time. Even the most destructive weapons of war are worthless if absent

from the battle.

-Artor Amhrad, Chapter Master of the Astral Knights (deceased).

Banners:

Company Standard

All friendly units with a model within 12” of the company standard may reroll all failed morale and pinning tests. In addition, a unit which contains a company standard counts as scoring one additional wound in assault for the purposes of combat resolution.

Chapter Banner

All friendly units with a model within 12”of the chapter banner may reroll all failed morale and pinning tests. In addition, a unit which contains a chapter banner counts as scoring one additional wound in assault for the purposes of combat resolution. Finally, all models that are a part of a squad containing a chapter banner gain +1 Attack.

Wargear:

Adamantine Mantle

A model armed with an adamantine mantle counts as having a Toughness value of 6 for the purpose of inflicting Instant Death.

Auspex

Enemy infiltrators cannot set up within 12” of a model with an auspex. Similarly, enemy scouts cannot use their pre-game move to approach to within 12” of one. When his unit shoots, a model armed with an auspex may forgo his shooting. If he does, any one enemy unit within 12” reduces their Cover save by 1 until the end of the phase against shooting attacks from his unit.

Bionics

A model equipped with bionics gains the Feel No Pain special rule at the listed amount (6+ if unspecified.)

Camo Cloak

A model equipped with a camo cloak gains the Stealth special rule.

Cluster Mines

Each Scout Bike squad equipped with cluster mines can booby-trap one piece of area terrain before the game begins. Note that a Scout Bike squad that splits into combat squads is still counted as a single squad for the purposes of cluster mines. At the start of the game, after terrain is placed, the controlling player declares that their Scout Bikers have placed booby-traps and must secretly write down the piece(s) of area terrain that have been booby-trapped in this fashion. Each terrain piece can only be booby-trapped once.

Cluster mines are automatically triggered the first time a unit (friend or foe) moves into the booby-trapped terrain. When triggered, the cluster mines inflict 2D6 hits on the unit once it has finished its move. These are treated as shooting hits and use the following profile:

- 4 - Ignores Cover

If a vehicle triggers the cluster mines, the hits are always resolved against rear armor. Once the effect of the cluster mines has been resolved, they are assumed to have been expended and have no further effect.

Digital Weapons

A model armed with digital weapons can re-roll a single failed roll To-Wound in each Assault phase.

Fire Selector

A weapon equipped with a fire selector allows the firer to choose which type of ammunition will be used each turn.

Before shooting during the controlling player’s Shooting phase, the player may choose to shoot the weapon with its normal profile or with the profile of

(12)

11

any one special ammunition type that they are

equipped with.

Holy Relic

One use only. A model equipped with a holy relic may be reveal it at any time, even during the opponents turn. Until the end of the player turn, that model and all friendly units with a model within 12” of him fight with +1 attack.

Orbital Strike Relay

An orbital strike relay is treated as a ranged weapon that can be used provided the bearer did not move in the preceding Movement phase (though they may later assault if the controlling player chooses.) Each time the orbital strike relay is used, the controlling player must choose which type of strike is called down. Note that the orbital strike always scatters the full 2D6” in the direction shown (if a hit is rolled, the scatter is in the direction of the small arrow on the ‘hit’ symbol.) Rng S AP Type Barrage Bomb Unlimited 6 4 Ordinance D3*, Large Blast Lance Strike Unlimited 10 1 Ordinance 1, Large Blast

*Roll for the number of shots each time a barrage bomb is fired.

Iron Halo

An iron halo confers a 4+ Invulnerable save.

Jump Pack

An Infantry model equipped with a jump pack changes its unit type to Jump Infantry.

Locator Beacon

If a unit wishes to arrive on the battlefield via deep strike and chooses to do so within 6" of a model carrying a locator beacon, then it does not scatter. Note that the locator beacon must already be on the table at the start of the turn for it to be used.

Narthecium

A unit which contains one or more models equipped with a narthecium gains the Feel No Pain special rule.

Purity Seals

A model equipped with purity seals may re-roll any one roll that it is called upon to make in a game. For example, this could be a To-Hit roll, a Leadership

test, a Run roll, a save of any kind or a Characteristic test. If the model is killed before the re-roll can be used, the re- roll is lost.

Rosarius

A Rosarius confers a 4+ Invulnerable save.

Servo-arm

A servo-arm grants a model an additional close combat attack that strikes at Initiative 1, Strength 8 and ignores armor saves.

Servo-harness

A model equipped with a servo-harness counts as being armed with two servo-arms, a flamer and a twin-linked plasma pistol which does not count as an additional close combat weapon. In the Shooting phase, the model may choose to fire both harness mounted guns, or one harness mounted gun and another gun.

Servo-skull

Servo-skulls are treated as counters, rather than units, for all intents and purposes. They are placed on the battlefield after deployment areas have been

determined, but before any forces are deployed. Each Servo-skull can be place anywhere on the battlefield outside the enemy’s deployment zone. Once deployed, Servo-skulls do not move.

Enemy infiltrators cannot set up within 12” of a Servo- skull. Similarly, enemy scouts cannot use their pre-game move to approach to within 12” of one. A friendly unit arriving by Deep Strike rolls one D6 less for scatter if it aims to arrive within 12” of a Servo-skull. Likewise, friendly blast templates placed within 12” of a Servo-skull roll one D6 less for scatter.

Servo-skulls are considered too small and agile to be attacked and cannot be harmed in any way. However, should an enemy unit move to within 6” then the Servo- skull will self-destruct or flee the battlefield – remove it from play.

Signum

A model can use a signum in lieu of making a shooting attack of their own. If they do so, one model in their squad counts as having Ballistic Skill 5 for the remainder of the Shooting phase. Declare that the signum is being used before any rolls to hit are made.

Space Marine Bike

Models armed with a Space Marine Bike change their type to Bike as described in the Warhammer 40,000

rulebook. Space Marine bikes are equipped with a twin- linked boltgun.

(13)

12

Teleport Homer

If Terminators wish to teleport onto the battlefield via deep strike and choose to do so within 6" of a model

carrying the homer, then they won't scatter. Note that the teleport homer only works for units that are teleporting, not for units entering play using jump packs, drop pods or other means of transport. Also note that the homer must already be on the table at the start of the turn for it to be used.

Vehicle Upgrades

Ceramite Plating

Melta weapons do not roll an extra D6 armor penetration against vehicles with this upgrade at half range or less.

Cerberus Launcher

If a unit charges on the same turn it disembarks from a vehicle equipped with a Cerberus launcher, any enemy unit they assault count as Initiative 1 when striking in close combat until the end of the phase.

Frag Assault Launcher

Any unit charging into close combat on the same turn as it disembarks from a vehicle armed with frag assault launchers does not suffer the Initiative penalties for charging enemies through cover, but instead fights at their normal Initiative in the ensuing combat.

Ironclad Assault Launchers

A vehicle armed with Ironclad assault launchers counts as being armed with defensive grenades. In addition, the vehicle does not suffer the Initiative penalties for charging enemies through cover, but instead fights at their normal Initiative in the ensuing combat.

Jamming Beacon

Teleport homers, Chaos Icons and similar wargear items that prevent deep strike scatter do not function within 12” of a vehicle equipped with a jamming beacon. In addition, enemies wishing to deep strike onto the board within 6” of a vehicle equipped with a jamming beacon scatter 4D6” rather than 2D6”.

Siege Shield

A vehicle equipped with a siege shield automatically passes Dangerous Terrain tests.

The Avenger – 5 points – Warp Charge 1

This is a witchfire power with the following profile:

Rng S AP Type

Template 5 3 Assault 1

Might of the Ancients – 5 points – Warp Charge 1

This is a blessing that is used at the start of the Librarian’s Assault phase. If successful, the Librarian has Strength 6 and rolls 2D6 for armor penetration for the remainder of that Assault phase.

Quickening – 5 points – Warp Charge 1

This is a blessing and is used at the start of the Librarian’s Assault phase. If successful, the Librarian has the fleet special rule and Initiative 10 for the duration of the assault phase.

Smite – 5 points – Warp Charge 1

This is a witchfire power and may use either of the following profiles each time it is used:

12” 4 5 Assault 1, Large Blast

or 12” 7 2 Assault 1

Emperor’s Fury – 10 points – Warp Charge 1

This is a beam power that is drawn from the librarian’s base to any one point on any table edge. Every unit in its path suffers D3 Strength 6, AP – hits and must take a Pinning test. If the attack would hit a friendly unit or a unit locked in close combat, it will stop before it hits them and the attack will have no further effect along its course.

Might of Heroes – 10 points – Warp Charge 1

This is a blessing and is used at the start of either player’s Assault phase. If successful, the Librarian (or any one other model in the same unit as the Librarian) gains +D3 attacks in that Assault phase.

Veil of Time – 15 points – Warp Charge 1

This is a blessing that is used at the start of the Librarian’s Movement phase. Until the end of the player turn, the Librarian can choose to re-roll any rolls to hit, to wound rolls, Armor saves, Invulnerable saves, Leadership tests or Morale tests. Note that the re-rolled result must be accepted – no re-rolling the re-rolls!

Vortex of Doom – 15 points – Warp Charge 1

This is a witchfire power with the following profile:

12” 10 1 Heavy 1, Blast

If when using this power the Librarian fails his Psychic test, place the Vortex of Doom blast marker on the Librarian – in this case the template will not scatter.

It cannot be considered a gift, to peer into the Warp and unravel the possibilities of the future that are, that might be, and that must be prevented. Nor can the burden of a weapon, that each of my brothers looks upon with girded

revulsion, be called a gift. No, Master, I do not think my psychic prowess a gift... but a tool. Whether by a quirk of fate, or the will of the Emperor, I possess a weapon the like of which can turn the tide, not just in a battle but in the course of history. To withhold it, to flinch from its use or deny it would not just be counter-productive, it would

be heresy. But if it is a gift, it is a cruel one.

- from the journal of Marneus Calgar, quoting Tigurius, 991.M41.

Only a madman knows no fear.

A warrior knows what fear is, he feels it in his stomach, he understands fear better than any other mortal can. What makes us strong is that we have conquered fear, overcome it not once but many times, over and over again, until the process has become instinctive. but no

matter how many battles you fight and how many victories you win, your fear will never completely leave

you. Learn to live with that fear. Learn to master your fear. But never forget that there are things in this

universe that even you cannot face and live, abominations so terrible that their very appearance will

sear the flesh from your face and shrivel your eyes. Such things cannot be fought, and to confront them would be nothing but a futile waste of life. In those situations remember your vows to serve the Emperor,

and remember also that you serve him best alive and not sacrificed upon the altar of vain glory.

We of the Librarium must be aware of Chaos. Yet we do not ourselves aim to contend with Chaos, unless

compelled to.

-Librarian Franz Grenzstein of the Imperial Fists.

The uniforms of the Imperial Guard are camouflaged in order to protect their wearers by hiding them

from sight.

The principle is that what the enemy cannot see he cannot kill. This is not the way of the Adeptus Astartes. A Space Marine’s armour is bright with heraldry that proclaims his devotion to his Chapter and the beloved Emperor of Mankind. Our principle is that what the enemy can see, he will soon learn to

fear…

Mindlock

If a unit with Servitors in it does not also contain a Master of the Forge or a Techmarine, it must test for mindlock at the start of each friendly turn. To test for mindlock, roll a D6.

If the result is 1, 2 or 3, the servitors have succumbed to mindlock – the unit (and any attached characters) may not move, shoot or assault that turn (though they will fight normally in close combat if engaged.)

Heroic Intervention

If a jump pack equipped Veteran squad arrives from Deep Strike, the player can elect for the squad to perform a Heroic Intervention – before the Deep Strike scatter dice are rolled. If he declares a Heroic Intervention, the Veteran squad cannot shoot (or run) that turn, but can assault, provided they are close enough. This ability cannot be used if an independent character has joined the Veteran squad.

Special Ammunition

Each boltgun and combi-weapon armed model in a Veteran squad may choose from several special ammunition types. Each time a model with special ammunition shoots, the controlling player may choose which type of ammunition is being used or if they will use the normal boltgun profile.

Each special ammunition type uses a specific profile as shown below, replacing the boltgun profile (including boltguns that are part of a combi-weapon) when they are used.

Any model which takes special ammunition is automatically equipped with a fire selector.

Blessing of the Omnisiah

A model with this special rule in base contact with or embarked upon a damaged vehicle may attempt to repair it in the Shooting Phase instead of firing, unless he is Falling Back or has Gone to Ground.

Roll a D6 and add 1 for each servitor with a servo arm in the unit. If the result is a 5 or more, then a Weapon Destroyed or an Immobilized result (owning player’s choice) is repaired. If a weapon destroyed result is repaired, that weapon can be fired in the following Shooting Phase.

If the model using this rule is equipped with a servo-harness, he gains a +1 bonus on this roll.

If the model fails his repair roll, then on the controlling players following turn, and if the model performs no other actions in between, his next repair roll gains a +1 bonus. This bonus increases cumulatively each turn that the model spends doing nothing but attempting to repair the damaged vehicle.

Damage Control

If a vehicle with a transport capacity suffers damage while one or more models with this special rule are embarked, all damage rolls made against it are made with a further -1 penalty on the damage chart.

Bolster Defenses

After deployment, but before Scout redeployments and Infiltrate deployments, the controlling player nominates one ece of terrain in their deployment zone (not one they have purchased as part of their army). The terrain piece's Cover save is increased by one for the duration of the game (to a maximum of 3+). For example, a ruin (4+ Cover save) would instead offer a 3+ cover save. A piece of terrain can only be bolstered once.
