Armour of Antoninus

10 pts

Originally worn by a storied Captain of the Ultramarines’ First Company, this artificer armour is bestowed by the Chapter Master himself upon a worthy wearer.

ADEPTUS ASTARTES* model only. The bearer has a Save characteristic of 2+ and the Feel No Pain 5+ ability.

Oath of Macragge

15 pts

Amongst the most solemn and binding oaths an Ultramarine can swear, it is a rare honour to enter battle with these words affixed to their armour.

ADEPTUS ASTARTES* model only. Add 1 to the Attacks and Strength characteristics of the bearer’s melee weapons. While the bearer is under the effects of the Assault Doctrine, add 2 to the Attacks and Strength characteristics of the bearer’s melee weapons instead.

Student of the Codex

20 pts

This prodigal officer has focused upon one aspect of the Codex Astartes and means to master its every aspect before moving on to the next.

ADEPTUS ASTARTES* model only. At the start of your Command phase, if the bearer is on the battlefield, it can use this Enhancement. If it does, until the start of your next Command phase, the Tactical Doctrine is active for this unit (instead of any other Combat Doctrine you select to be active for your army, and even if there is no Combat Doctrine active for your army).

Veteran of Behemoth

25 pts

Having battled the Tyranid swarms since their first galactic invasion, this veteran officer knows well the benefit of efficient and overwhelming firepower.

ADEPTUS ASTARTES* model only. While the bearer is leading a unit, ranged weapons equipped by models in that unit have the [SUSTAINED HITS 1] ability. In addition, while the bearer’s unit is under the effects of the Devastator Doctrine, you can re-roll Advance rolls made for that unit.
