If you control an objective marker at the end of your Command phase, and the bearer’s unit (or any HEAVY TRANSPORT it is embarked within) is within range of that objective marker, that objective marker remains under your control until your opponent’s Level of Control over that objective marker is greater than yours at the end of a phase.

Stratagems

eitherPlayer

Machine Wrath

1 CP

CommandMovementShootingChargeFight

In a last act of vengeance, the doomed crew of this burning transport drive into the midst of the enemy. 

When:

Any phase, just after a HEAVY TRANSPORT unit from your army with the Deadly Demise ability is destroyed.

Target:

That HEAVY TRANSPORT unit, if you rolled a 6 for its Deadly Demise ability. You can use this Stratagem on that unit even though it was just destroyed.

Effect:

Your unit can make a Normal or Fall Back move before its Deadly Demise ability is resolved, and before any embarked units perform an Emergency Disembarkation. When making this move, your unit can move through enemy models (excluding MONSTERS and VEHICLES) and can move within Engagement Range of such models, but cannot end that move within Engagement Range of them, and any Desperate Escape test is automatically passed.

Armour of Contempt

1 CP

ShootingFight

The belligerence of the Adeptus Astartes, combined with their transhuman physiology, makes them unyielding foes to face.

When:

Your opponent’s Shooting phase or the Fight phase, just after an enemy unit has selected its targets.

Target:

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

Effect:

Until the attacking unit has finished making its attacks, each time an attack targets your unit, worsen the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.

1 CP

Fight

One ADEPTUS ASTARTES INFANTRY unit from your army that is not within Engagement Range of one or more enemy units, and one friendly HEAVY TRANSPORT it is able to embark within.

The mightiest Space Marine transports are unstoppable on the advance.

When:

Your Movement phase.

Target:

One ADEPTUS ASTARTES TRANSPORT unit from your army that has not been selected to move this phase.

Effect:

Until the end of the phase, each time your unit makes a Normal or Advance move, it can move horizontally through terrain features. In addition, if your unit is a HEAVY TRANSPORT, when making this move, your unit can move through enemy models (excluding MONSTERS and VEHICLES) and can move within Engagement Range of such models, but cannot end that move within Engagement Range of them, and any Desperate Escape test is automatically passed.

Advanced Deployment

When:

Your Movement phase.

Target:

One ADEPTUS ASTARTES TRANSPORT unit from your army that has not been selected to move this phase.

Effect:

Until the end of the phase, units can disembark from your TRANSPORT after it has Advanced. Units that do so count as having made a Normal move this phase, and cannot declare a charge in the same turn (unless your TRANSPORT has the Assault Ramp ability), but can otherwise act normally.

Purgation Doctrine

1 CP

Shooting

Emerging from their transports, Space Marine infantry ruthlessly clear enemy positions.

When:

Your Shooting phase.

Target:

One ADEPTUS ASTARTES unit from your army that has not been selected to shoot this phase.
