Legacy of the Angel

Enhancements

Prescient Flash

20 pts

A flash of foresight and clarity sings through this warrior’s blood and guides his steps into battle.

  • ADEPTUS ASTARTES* model only. Models in the bearer’s unit have the Scouts 6" ability.

Troubling Visions

15 pts

In the long run, these strange and intrusive visions of bloodshed bode terribly ill for this champion of the Blood Angels. In this instance, though, they bring him closer than ever to the glory of his gene‑sire.

  • ADEPTUS ASTARTES* model only. Once per battle, in your Command phase, the bearer can use this Enhancement. When it does, until the start of your next Command phase, all Angelic Legacy abilities (see Legacy of the Angel Detachment Rule) are active for the bearer’s unit, instead of only two of them.

Blazing Icon

20 pts

What was before merely a decorative blood drop pendant now shines with a seemingly miraculous light as bright as any star. The foe are forced to avert their gaze from its wrathful magnificence.

  • ADEPTUS ASTARTES INFANTRY* model only. Enemy units cannot use the Fire Overwatch Stratagem to shoot at the bearer’s unit.

Ordained Sacrifice

25 pts

Knowing only too well the desperate and vital nature of the battle before him, this scion of Sanguinius echoes his Primarch’s resolute determination to fight on even beyond what seems the doors of certain death.

  • ADEPTUS ASTARTES* model only. The first time the bearer is destroyed, roll one D6 at the end of the phase: on a 2+, set the bearer back up on the battlefield as close as possible to where it was destroyed and not within Engagement Range of one or more enemy units, with 3 wounds remaining.

Your Turn

Instant of Grace

1 CP
Command

In this most desperate moment of need, a lone battle‑brother rises to the challenge as a true inheritor of the Angel’s legacy. 

When:

Your Command phase.

Target:

One ADEPTUS ASTARTES INFANTRY unit from your army.

Effect:

Select one non‑CHARACTER model in your unit. Until the start of your next Command phase, your model has the CHARACTER keyword.

  • Designer’s Note*: While in effect, your model’s unit is therefore a CHARACTER unit, meaning it can interact with the Legacy of the Angel Detachment rule, in addition to other rules that interact with CHARACTER units.

One ADEPTUS ASTARTES CHARACTER unit from your army that was selected as the target of one or more of the attacking unit’s attacks.
