1 CP

The belligerence of the Adeptus Astartes combined with their post-human 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.

When:

Fight phase, just after an enemy unit has selected its targets.

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

Select the Devastator Doctrine, Tactical Doctrine or Assault Doctrine. Until the start of your next Command phase, that Combat Doctrine is active for that unit instead of any other Combat Doctrine that is active for your army, even if you have already selected that Combat Doctrine this battle.

Squad Tactics
