Selection Rules
Battle-hardened (1): For the purposes of whether or not attacks of a Strength twice this model’s Toughness
value inflict Instant Death, this model’s Toughness is increased by X, where X is the value in brackets after the
name of this special rule. If, for any reason, this special rule does not provide a value, then consider the value of
X to be 1. This special rule does not alter the scores needed by To Wound rolls or any other Test or Check.
(Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness Rulebook p233)
Brutal (3): When a model is allocated a Wound inflicted by a weapon with this special rule, it does not suffer
only one Wound but instead a number of Wounds equal to the number in brackets associated with the specific
varient of this special rule, with all of the Wounds inflicted using the same AP and special rules as that of the
initial Wound. Roll to save against each Wound inflicted separately, but note that Wounds do not spill over to
other models and are lost. This special rule has no effect on models that do not hae a Toughness value. (Both
Astartes Army Books p117)
Bulky (2): Bulky models count as a number of models equal to the value X in brackets after the rule’s name for
the purposes of Transport Capacity and whether a given unit outnumbers another in combat.

For example, a unit comprised of five odels all of which have the Bulky (3) special rule, would count as 15
models when attempting to Embark on a Transport Vehicle or when deciding if they outnumber an enemy unit.
(Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness Rulebook p236)
Chosen Warriors: A model with this special rule may issue and accept Challenges as if it had the Character
type. Note that this does not allow a model with this special rule to use any other special rules associated with
the Character type. (Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness Rulebook p236)
Dreadnought Talon: When deployed onto the battlefield (either at the start of the battle or when arriving from
Reserves), all models with this special rule in a unit must be placed within unit coherency, but afterwards
operate independently and are not treated as a unit. (Both Astartes Army Books p118)
Dreadnought Unit-type: • Successful Wounds scored by attacks with the Poisoned or Fleshbane special rules
must be re-rolled against models of the Dreadnought Unit Type.
• All Dreadnought models have the Fearless special rule.
• A model with the Dreadnought Unit Type may fire all weapons they are equipped with in each Shooting Attack
they make, including as part of a Reaction.
• A model of the Dreadnought type may fire Heavy and Ordnance weapons and counts as Stationary even if it
moved in the preceding Movement phase, and may declare Charges as normal regardless of any Shooting
Attacks made in the same turn.
• No model that is not also of the Dreadnought Unit Type may join a unit that includes a Dreadnought model.
(Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness Rulebook p195)
Expanded Army Lists: Some events/group choose not to allow official rules in "Legacies of The Age of
Darkness" download pdf (which are not playtest). This option is included to make it easier for users for those
events/groups. ()
Fearless: Units with one or more models with the Fearless special rule automatically pass Pinning tests.
Regroup tests and Morale checks.In addition, models with the Fearless special rule ignore the effects of the Fear
special rule.

However, units containing one or more models with the Fearless special rule cannot use any Reactions that
grant a Cover Save, Armour Save or Invulnerable Save, and cannot choose to fail a Morale check due to the
Our Weapons Are Useless special rule (see page 188). If a unit has become Pinned and then gains the Fearless
special rule,all the effects of being Pinned are immediately cancelled. (Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of
Darkness Rulebook p238)
Firing Protocols (2): When making a Shooting Attack, a model with this special rule may attack with a number
of different weapons equal to the value of this special rule. This rule does not allow a single weapon to be
attacked with more than once, and only applies if the model is equipped with more than one weapon. For
example, as part of a single Shooting Attack, a model with the Firing Protocols (2) special rule may attack with
up to two different weapons. (Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness Rulebook p239)
Fleshbane: If a model has this special rule, or is attacking with a Melee weapon that has this special rule, they
always Wound on a 2+ in close combat.
Similarly, if a model makes a Shooting Attack with a weapon that has this special rule, they always Wound on a
2+.
In either case, this special rule has no effect against Vehicles or Buildings. (Warhammer: The Horus Heresy -
Age of Darkness Rulebook p238)
Fury of the Legion: If a model with this special rule has not moved or Run during the Movement phase of its
controlling player’s turn then that model may add one to the number of shots fired when making a Shooting
Attack with a bolter (this does not include combi-bolters, bolt pistols or other bolt weapons). (Both Astartes Army
Books p119)
Gets Hot: When firing a weapon that Gets Hot. roll To Hit as normal. For each unmodified To Hit roll of 1, the
firing model immediately suffers a single Wound with an AP value equal to that of the weapon that was used to
attack (Armour Saves, Invulnerable Saves and Feel No Pain rolls can be taken, but not Cover Saves or
Shrouded rolls) - this Wound cannot be allocated to any other model in the unit. A Vehicle instead rolls a D6 for
each roll of a 1 To Hit. If this roll results in a 1 or 2, the Vehicle suffers a Glancing Hit.

Gets Hot and Weapons that do not Roll To Hit

Weapons that do not roll To Hit (such as Blast weapons) must roll a D6 for each shot immediately before firing.
On a 2+, the shot is resolved as normal. For each roll of a 1, the weapon Gets Hot; that shot is not fired and the
firing model immediately suffers a single Wound with an AP value equal to that of the weapon that was used to
attack (Armour Saves, Invulnerable Saves and Feel No Pain rolls can be taken, but not Cover Saves or
Shrouded rolls) – this Wound cannot be allocated to any other model in the unit. A Vehicle instead rolls a D6 for
each roll of a 1 to Hit. If this roll results in a 1 or 2, the Vehicle suffers a Glancing Hit.

Gets Hot and Re-rolls

If a model has the ability to re-roll its rolls To Hit (including because of BS 6+ or the Twin-linked special rule), a
Wound is only suffered if the To Hit re-roll is a 1; it may also re-roll Gets Hot results of 1 for weapons that do not
roll To Hit. (Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness Rulebook p239)
Grenades: Grenades are represented in battle as Wargear items with a specific effect rather than as weapons.
Using grenades does not count as a Shooting Attack and their effects are entirely covered by the rules
presented here. Note that grenade launchers do not use these rules and are Shooting Weapons governed by
the standard Shooting rules. (Both Astartes Army Books p142)
Heart of the Legion: When a unit that includes at least one model with this special rule has at least half of its
models within 6" of an Objective then all models in the unit gain the Feel No Pain (6+) and Stubborn special
rules. If any model in the unit already has a variant of the Feel No Pain special rule then instead increase the
value in brackets of one of those rules by +1 while the unit has at least half of its models within 6" of an
Objective (for example, a model that already had Feel No Pain (5+) could choose to increase this to Feel No
Pain (4+) while it fulfils the conditions of this special rule). (Both Astartes Army Books p119)
Heavy Sub-type: • A unit that includes only models with the Heavy subtype may re-roll failed Armour Saves
against Template and Blast weapons.
• A unit that includes any models with the Heavy subtype may not Run and when making a Movement during a
Reaction based on its Initiative Characteristic, reduces the distance moved by -1. (Warhammer: The Horus
Heresy - Age of Darkness Rulebook p197)
Ignores Cover: Cover Saves and Damage Mitigation rolls granted by the Shrouded special rule cannot be taken
against Wounds or Hull Point damage caused by weapons with the Ignores Cover special rule. This includes
Cover Saves granted by Reactions and other special rules as well as Cover Saves conferred by terrain.
(Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness Rulebook p242)
Independent Character: Independent Characters can join other units. They cannot, however, join units that
contain Vehicles, Dreadnoughts, Automata or any model with the Monstrous sub-type (unless the Independent
Character also has that Unit Type or sub-type). They can join other Independent Characters though to form a
powerful multicharacter unit.

Joining and Leaving a Unit

An Independent Character can begin the game already with a unit, either by being deployed in unit coherency
with it or, if the unit is in Reserve, by you informing your opponent which unit it has joined.

In order to join a unit, an Independent Character simply has to move so that they are within unit coherency
distance of a friendly unit at the end of their Movement phase. If the Independent Character is within unit
coherency of more than one unit at the end of its Movement phase, the player must declare which unit it is
joining. If an Independent Character does not intend to, or cannot, join a unit, it must, where possible, remain
outside of unit coherency with that unit at the end of the Movement phase. This is to make clear whether they
have joined a unit or not. Note that after an Independent Character joins a unit, that unit can Move no further that
Movement phase.
An Independent Character can leave a unit during the Movement phase by moving out of unit coherency with it.
They cannot join or leave during any other Phase – once shots are fired or Charges are declared.

An Independent Character cannot leave a unit while either they or the unit are in Reserve, locked in combat,
Falling Back or have been Pinned. They cannot join a unit that is in Reserve, locked in combat or Falling Back. If
an Independent Character joins a unit, and all other models in that unit are killed, they again become a unit of
one model at the start of the following Phase. While an Independent Character is part of a unit, they count as
part of the unit for all rules purposes, though they still follow the rules for Characters.

Special Rules
When an Independent Character joins a unit, it might have different special rules from those of the unit. Unless
specified in the rule itself (as in the Stubborn special rule), the unit’s special rules are not conferred upon the
Independent Character, and the Independent Character’s special rules are not conferred upon the unit. Special
rules that are conferred to the unit only apply for as long as the Independent Character is with them.

Independent Characters and Infiltrate

An Independent Character without the Infiltrate special rule cannot join a unit of Infiltrators during deployment,
and vice versa.

Independent Characters and Ongoing Effects

Sometimes, a unit that an Independent Character has joined will be the target of a beneficial or harmful effect,
such as those bestowed by the Blind special rule, for example. If the Independent Character leaves the unit,
both the Independent Character and the unit continue to be affected by the effect, so you’ll need to mark the
Independent Character accordingly.

Conversely, if an Independent Character joins a unit after that unit has been the target of an ongoing effect (or
joins a unit after they themselves have been the target of an ongoing effect), benefits and penalties from that
effect are not shared. (Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness Rulebook p241)
Inexorable: A unit that contains only models with this special rule ignores modifiers to Leadership when making
a Morale check or Pinning test - except those caused by the Fear (X) special rule or the Corrupted and
Anathema Sub-types. If a unit has both the Fearless and Inexorable special rules, it uses the rules for Fearless
instead of Inexorable. (Both Astartes Army Books p121)
Legiones Astartes (Death Guard): Remorseless: A model with this special rule that does not have the Cavalry
Unit Type or Artillery Unit Sub-type ignores any modifiers or restrictions on moving during the movement phase
(Including modifiers imposed by Terrain or Restrictions from rules such Pinning which would normally stop them
from moving) as long as the model does not Run or make use of another alternative form of Movement such as
'Activating a jump pack, Disembarking, or deploying via Deep Strike. Furthermore, as long as the model has not
Run or used another alternative form of Movement in the controlling player's Movement phase, it is counted as
Stationary when making shooting attacks until the start of the Controlling Player's next turn. This special rules
does not affect whether or not a model may make a Charge, and does not allow models with the Vehicle Unit
Type to ignore the effect of an Immobilised result on the Vehicle Damage table (But does allow a model with the
Vehicle Unit Type to move even when under the effect of the Crew Stunned result on the Vehicle Damage table)
(Liber Hereticus – Traitor Legiones Astartes Army Book p232)
Line Sub-type: • A unit that includes at least one model with the Line sub-type counts as both a Scoring and
Denial unit. (Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness Rulebook p196)
Master of the Legion: The Master of the Legion special rule grants the following benefits:
• Rites of War: If a Detachment with the Legiones Astartes Faction includes at least one model with the Master
of the Legion special rule then that Detachment may select a single Rite of War. Rites of War are presented in
the Appendix: Legiones Astartes Rites of War, found on page 96.
• The Few and the Proud: An army may only include a maximum of one model with this special rule per 1,000
points. This counts across all Detachments of an army. Thus, an army that totals at least 1,000 points may
include only a single model with the Master of the Legion special rule, and an army that includes at least 2,000
points may include up to two models with the Master of the Legion special rule, etc.
• Retinue: A model with this special rule may also include a Legion Command Squad, Legion Cataphractii
Command Squad or Legion Tartaros Command Squad as part of the same Force Organisation slot as the model
with the Master of the Legion special rule. The full rules for doing so can be found in the Appendix: Legiones
Astartes Special Rules on page 124. (Both Astartes Army Books p19 and 123)
Pinning: If a non-Vehicle unit suffers one or more unsaved Wounds from a weapon with the Pinning special
rule, it must take a Leadership test once the firing unit has finished its Shooting Attacks for that Phase. This is
called a Pinning test. If the unit fails the Test, it is Pinned. As long as the Test is passed, a unit can be called
upon to take multiple Pinning tests in a single turn, but only once for each unit shooting at them.

A unit that is affected by any of the following conditions does not take Pinning tests, and if called upon to do so is
considered to automatically pass them:
• The unit is locked in combat.
• The unit is already Pinned (the unit remains Pinned, but takes no further Tests).
• The unit is composed entirely of Vehicle models.
• The unit is Embarked on a Transport Vehicle.
• The target unit is affected by the Fearless special rule.

A unit that has become Pinned cannot Move, Run or Charge. It can only fire Snap Shots if it attacks during the
Shooting phase and cannot make Reactions in any Phase. At the end of its following turn, the unit returns to
normal and the unit is free to act as normal from then on. Whilst it is Pinned, a unit is affected normally by enemy
actions (for example, it takes Morale checks as normal). If the unit is forced to move, for example if it has to Fall
Back, it returns to normal immediately. If assaulted, the unit will fight as usual, but because they are not set to
receive the Charge, enemy units do not receive the Initiative penalty for assaulting a unit in Difficult Terrain (sec
page 222), even if the unit is in Difficult Terrain. If a unit becomes Pinned during a Charge, then that Charge
automatically fails. Units that are locked in combat cannot be Pinned and do not take Pinning tests.
(Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness Rulebook p244)
Poisoned (3+): If a model has the Poisoned special rule, or is attacking with a Melee weapon that has the
Poisoned special rule, it always Wounds on a fixed number (generally shown in brackets), unless a lower result
would be required, when attacking in close combat. In addition, if the Strength of the wielder (or the Poisoned
weapon) is higher than the Toughness of the victim, the wielder must re-roll failed rolls To Wound in close
combat.

Similarly, if a model makes a Shooting Attack with a weapon that has the Poisoned special rule, it always
Wounds on a fixed number (generally shown in brackets), unless a lower result would be required. If no number
is shown in brackets, the rule is Poisoned (4+).

Unless otherwise stated, Poisoned weapons are treated as having a Strength of 1. The Poisoned special rule
has no effect against Vehicles. (Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness Rulebook p244)
Preferred Enemy (Independant Characters): This rule is presented as Preferred Enemy (X) where X identifies
a specific type of foe. If the special rule does no specify a type of foe, then everyone is a Preferred Enemy of the
unit. A unit that contains at least one model with this special rule re-rolls failed To Hit and To Wound rolls of 1 if
attacking its Preferred Enemy. This applies both to Shooting Attacks and close combat attacks.

If a model with this rule makes an attack against a mixed unit which has one or more models to which their
Preferred Enemy rule pertains, but is not entirely composed of such models, it may still benefit from the effects
of Preferred Enemy for all attacks made against that unit. For example, a model with Preferred Enemy
(Independent Characters) may re-roll failed To Hit and To Wound rolls of 1 against all of the models in a unit
which has been joined by an Independent Character. (Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness
Rulebook p245)
Pride Of The Legion: Effects
• Legion Veteran Squads, Legion Terminator Cataphractii Squads and Legion Terminator Tartaros Squads may
be selected as Troops choices in a Detachment using this Rite of War.
• Any Legion Terminator Cataphractii Squads, Legion Terminator Tartaros Squads and Legion Veteran Squads
taken as Compulsory Troops choices in a Detachment using this Rite of War gain the Line Sub-type.
• Any unit composed entirely of models with either Cataphractii Terminator armour, Tartaros Terminator armour
or any other pattern of Terminator armour and that is normally selected as an Elites choice may be included in a
Detachment using this Rite of War as a Troops choice.
Limitations
• An army whose Primary Detachment is using this Rite of War may not select an Allied Detachment.
• A Detachment using this Rite of War may only select a single Heavy Support choice and a single Fast Attack
choice.
• An Allied Detachment may not use this Rite of War.
• An army using this Rite of War may not select any Fortification choices.
• An army using this Rite of War may not include more non-Infantry units than it does Infantry units. (Both
Astartes Army Books p100)
Psychic Focus: Before making any To Hit rolls with this weapon, the Psyker must make a Psychic check. If the
Check is passed, then the Psyker may attack as normal using the profile shown for this weapon. If the Check is
failed, then the Psyker suffers Perils of the Warp, and if the model is not removed as a casualty then it may
attack as normal but may not use this weapon. (Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness Rulebook
p323)
Reaping Blow (1): If a model is in base contact with more than one enemy model in the Initiative step in which
they fight, they gain a number of Attacks equal to the value of X as noted in the variant of the special rule (if no
value of X is included then count the value of X as 1). (Both Astartes Army Books p124)
Reaping Blow (X): If a model is in base contact with more than one enemy model in the Initiative step in which
they fight, they gain a number of Attacks equal to the value of X as noted in the variant of the special rule (if no
value of X is included then count the value of X as 1). (Both Astartes Army Books p124)
Relentless: Relentless models can shoot with Heavy or Ordnance weapons, counting as Stationary, even if they
moved in the previous Movement phase. They are also allowed to Charge in the same turn they fire Heavy,
Ordnance, or Rapid Fire weapons. (Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness Rulebook p245)
Rending (6+): If a model has the Rending special rule, or is attacking with a Melee weapon that has the
Rending special rule, there is a chance that their close combat attacks will strike a critical blow. For each To
Wound roll equal to or higher than the value listed, the target automatically suffers a Wound, regardless of its
Toughness. The controlling player may choose to resolve these Wounds at AP 2 instead of the weapon’s normal
AP value.
Similarly, if a model makes a Shooting Attack with a weapon that has the Rending special rule, a To Wound roll
of equal to or greater than the listed value wounds automatically, regardless of Toughness, and is resolved at
AP 2.
In either case, against Vehicles each Armour Penetration roll of equal to or greater than the listed value allows a
further D3 to be rolled, with the result added to the total Strength of the attack. These Hits are not resolved at AP
2, but are instead resolved using the weapon’s AP value.
For example, a model with the Rending (5+) special rule that rolls To Wound against a non-Vehicle model will
wound automatically on the roll of a 5+, and the attacking player has the choice of using an AP value of 2
instead of the AP value of their weapon. (Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness Rulebook p246)
Shrouded (6+): When a model with this special rule suffers an unsaved Wound, Glancing Hit or Penetrating Hit,
it can make a special Shrouded roll to ignore it (this is not a Saving Throw and so can be used against attacks
that state that 'no Saves of any kind are allowed'). Shrouded rolls may not be taken against Melee Attacks,
against attacks with the Ignores Cover special rule or for models with the Fearless special rule.
Roll a D6 each time an unsaved Wound, Glancing Hit or Penetrating Hit is suffered by a model with this special
rule. On a result that is equal to or greater than the value in brackets, that unsaved Wound, Glancing Hit or
Penetrating Hit is ignored. On any other result, the Wound, Glancing Hit or Penetrating Hit is applied as normal.
For example, a unit with the special rule Shrouded (6+) would need to score a 6 in order to ignore a Wound,
Glancing Hit or Penetrating Hit inflicted upon it.
If on any unit this rule is presented simply as Shrouded, without a value in brackets, then count it as Shrouded
(6+)
This is a Damage Mitigation roll - any model may make only a single Damage Mitigation roll of any type for any
given Wound, Glancing Hit or Penetrating Hit (see page 174).
(Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness Rulebook p247)
Shrouded in Death: When an enemy unit successfully Charges a unit that includes one or more models with
this special rule, the Charge is always considered to be Disordered. ()
Specialist Weapon: A model fighting with this weapon does not receive +1 Attack for fighting with two weapons
unless it is armed with two or more Melee weapons with the Specialist Weapon rule. The additional weapon
does not have to be the same weapon as the one used to attack, but it must have the Specialist Weapon rule in
order to grant an additional Attack for fighting with two weapons. (Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of
Darkness Rulebook p247)
Stubborn: When a unit that contains at least one model with this special rule takes Morale checks or Pinning
tests, the unit ignore any negative Leadership modifiers. If a unit is both Fearless and Stubborn, the unit uses
the rules for Fearless instead. (Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness Rulebook p248)
Template Weapons: Template weapons are indicated by having the word ‘Template’ for their range instead of a
number. Instead of rolling To Hit, simply place the template so that its narrow end is touching the base of the
firing model, or the end of the firing weapon’s barrel for Vehicle models without bases, and the rest of the
template covers as many models in the target unit as possible, without touching any other friendly models
(including other models from the firing model’s unit). Any models fully or partially under the template are hit.
Against Vehicles, the template must be placed to cover as much of the Vehicle as possible without touching a
friendly model. The position of the firer is used to determine which armour Facing is hit (see page 207). A
Template weapon never hits the model firing it.

Template weapons have the Ignores Cover and Wall of Death special rules. Wounds inflicted by Template
weapons are allocated following the normal rules.

Multiple Templates
If a unit is firing more than one shot with the Template type, resolve each shot, one at a time, as described
above, determining and recording how many Hits are scored by each template. Once the number of Hits from all
templates has been determined, roll To Wound as normal.

Wall of Death
Template weapons can fire Snap Shots at any non-Flyer target. If a Template weapon fires as a Snap Shot, it
automatically inflicts D3 Hits on the target unit, resolved at its normal Strength and AP value, as long as the
target unit either has at least one model within 8" or if the target unit is resolving a Charge against the unit
making the Shooting Attack. If the weapon is also a Hellstorm weapon then it instead inflicts D6 Hits.

Hellstorm Weapons
Hellstorm weapons have the word ‘Hellstorm’ instead of a range on their weapon profile. Hellstorm weapons use
the Hellstorm template (see page 152), but otherwise obey the rules for other Template weapons. (Warhammer:
The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness Rulebook p248)
Twin-linked: When attacking with a weapon that has this special rule, the controlling player may re-roll all failed
To Hit rolls.

Twin-linked Blast Weapons

If the Scatter dice does not roll a Hit, you can choose to re-roll the dice when making a Shooting Attack with a
Twin-linked Blast weapon. If you choose to do so, you must re-roll both the 2D6 and the Scatter dice.

Twin-linked Template Weapons

Twin-linked Template weapons are fired just like a single weapon, but must re-roll failed To Wound rolls and
Armour Penetration rolls. (Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness Rulebook p249)
Two-handed: A model attacking with this weapon never receives +1 Attack for fighting with two Melee weapons
(see page 177). (Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness Rulebook p249)
Unwieldy: A model attacking with this weapon Piles-in and fights at Initiative step 1, unless it has the
Dreadnought Unit Type or Monstrous sub-type. (Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness Rulebook
p249)
Witchblood: Calas Typhon has the Witchsense Psychic Power and Toxin Cloud Psychic Weapon and does not
gain access to any other Disciplines: ()
