They are wholly committed to the path of damnation that they have trod for 10,000 standard years, for good or ill. In all likelihood, you’ll be taking these support elements anyway – you’re not actually compromising your list. The gibbering of Vashtorr’s imps replicates itself through the enemy’s command and control networks, a data-daemonic wall of binharic gibberish that fouls the best-laid plans. You can only use this Stratagem once, unless you are playing a Strike Force battle (in which case, you can use this Stratagem twice) or an Onslaught battle (in which case, you can use this Stratagem three times). Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit is destroyed by a melee attack, if that model has not fought this phase, do not remove it from play.

While not the swiftest of troops, they can use a Land Raider to travel across the battlefield to positions in which their weaponry will make the best impact. Models cannot be set up or end a Normal, Advance or Fall Back move within Engagement Range of any enemy models. Sundered and cast out from the Imperium of Man, having turned their backs on the Emperor of Mankind, the Chaos Space Marines of the Traitor Legions know that there can be no peace for them, no forgiveness nor absolution.

Not only does their Terminator armour lend them superior survivability to other Chaos Space Marine units, but their towering size and grisly trophy racks really sets them apart on the battlefield. Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase, when an ALPHA LEGION INFANTRY unit from your army that is more than 6" away from any enemy models is selected to move. Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when an IRON WARRIORS unit from your army is selected to fight. Use this Stratagem in your Command phase, if your army is engaged in either Wanton Destruction or Wanton Massacre. Pending some balance changes they might have what it takes to help CSMs get to the top of the 40k meta.

In addition, if your unit is a SLAANESH unit, until the end of the turn, your unit is eligible to shoot and declare a charge in a turn in which it Advanced. If that NURGLE unit has the MONSTER, VEHICLE, TERMINATOR or BIKER keyword, this Stratagem costs 3CP; otherwise, it costs 2CP. 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’.In this step, you must take a Battle-shock test for each of your units on the battlefield that is Below Half-strength. These guys seemed well poised to wreck the tabletop with a plethora of stacking rules, powerful abilities, and just pain in the butt control of the tabletop.

Until the end of the phase, each time an attack is made against that unit, an unmodified wound roll of 1-3 for that attack fails, irrespective of any abilities that the weapon or the model making the attack may have. The result required is determined by comparing the attack’s Strength (S) characteristic with the target’s Toughness (T) characteristic, as shown below. Until the end of the phase, each time a HERETIC ASTARTES model in that unit makes a melee attack, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1. Until the end of your next turn, each time an ALPHA LEGION model from your army makes an attack against that unit, add 1 to that attack’s hit roll.If that enemy PSYKER unit is within 24" of any TRAITORIS ASTARTES KHORNE units from your army, roll one D6: on a 4+, that psychic power is denied. Nonetheless, those Veteran Astartes given the honour of wearing one of these masterpieces to war are the most formidable foot soldiers in the Imperium. EFFECT: Your unit now declares a charge that targets only that enemy unit, and you resolve that charge as if it were your Charge phase. Until the end of the phase, that unit is eligible to declare a charge in a turn in which it Fell Back.

Whether they’re the Bringers of Despair – Abaddon’s infamous Black Legion bodyguards – or elite veterans hailing from the other Traitor Legions, Chaos Terminators are among the very deadliest of the Heretic Astartes. Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase, when a TRAITORIS ASTARTES INFANTRY unit (excluding CULTISTS units) from your army makes a Normal Move or Advances. If that unit is a VEHICLE unit, it can make attacks with Blast weapons against units within Engagement Range; however, if it does so, each time it makes an attack with a Blast weapon this phase, on an unmodified hit roll of 1 that unit suffers 1 mortal wound after all of its attacks have been resolved. In addition, if your unit is a NURGLE unit, until the end of the phase, your unit can only be selected as the target of a ranged attack if the attacking model is within 12".The Alpha Legion are as illusive as a shadow, their operatives stealing forward to occupy advanced positions or swiftly outmanoeuvre the foes carefully laid fire lanes.
