If your Army Faction is IMPERIAL KNIGHTS, at the end of the Read Mission Objectives step, you must determine your army’s Oath for the coming battle. An Oath consists of two parts – one Deed and one Quality. There are three options for each part, shown below.
To determine your army’s Deed, you can either select one Deed or you can randomly select one Deed by rolling a D6 and consulting the relevant table below. The selected Deed will describe what needs to be achieved in order to complete that Deed.
To determine your army’s Quality, you can either select one Quality or you can randomly select one Quality by rolling a D6 and consulting the relevant table below. Until the end of the battle, the ability described in the Quality selected applies to all models in your army with this ability.
The first time your selected Deed is completed your Oath is fulfilled and, until the end of the battle, your army becomes Honoured and you gain 2CP, or 3CP if you randomly selected your Deed and/or Quality (CP gained in this way are an exemption to the Core Rules that limit the maximum number of CP you can gain per battle round to 1).

Each time a model with this ability makes a Normal, Advance or Fall Back move, it can move through models (excluding TITANIC models) and sections of terrain features that are 4" or less in height. When doing so:
■ It can move within Engagement Range of enemy models, but cannot end that move within Engagement Range of them.
■ It can also move through sections of terrain features that are more than 4" in height, but if it does, after it has moved, roll one D6: on a 1, that model is Battle-shocked.
While a model is affected by this ability, you can re‑roll Charge rolls made for that model and each time that model makes a melee attack, you can re‑roll the Hit roll.
Each time this unit Consolidates, models in it can move an additional 3" provided your unit can end that move within Engagement Range of one or more enemy units.
Core Abilities
Some models have ‘Deadly Demise x’ listed in their abilities. When such a model is destroyed, roll one D6 before removing it from play (if such a model is a TRANSPORT, roll before any embarked models disembark). On a 6, each unit within 6" of that model suffers a number of mortal wounds denoted by ‘x’ (if this is a random number, roll separately for each unit within 6").
