Unit Abilities
View Army Rule
At the start of the battle round, you can select one of the Doctrina Imperatives below. Until the end of the battle round, that Doctrina Imperative is active for your army, and all units from your army that have the Doctrina Imperatives ability gain the relevant abilities shown below.
PROTECTOR IMPERATIVE
■ Ranged weapons equipped by models in this unit have the [HEAVY] ability.
■ Improve the Ballistic Skill characteristic of ranged weapons equipped by models in this unit by 1.
■ Each time a melee attack targets this unit, if this unit has the BATTLELINE keyword and/or it is within 6" of one or more friendly ADEPTUS MECHANICUS BATTLELINE units, subtract 1 from the Hit roll.
CONQUEROR IMPERATIVE
■ Ranged weapons equipped by models in this unit have the [ASSAULT] ability.
■ Improve the Weapon Skill characteristic of melee weapons equipped by models in this unit by 1.
■ Each time a model in this unit makes an attack, if this unit has the BATTLELINE keyword and/or it is within 6" of one or more friendly ADEPTUS MECHANICUS BATTLELINE units, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.
While this model is leading a unit, models in that unit have the Feel No Pain 5+ ability. If that unit has the ELECTRO-PRIESTS keyword, models in that unit have the Feel No Pain 4+ ability instead.
At the start of the Fight phase, you can select one enemy VEHICLE unit within Engagement Range of this model’s unit and roll one D6: on a 4+, that enemy unit suffers D6 mortal wounds and, until the end of the phase, the Weapon Skill characteristic of melee weapons equipped by that enemy unit is worsened by 1.
Core Abilities
Some CHARACTER units have ‘Leader’ listed on their datasheets. Such CHARACTER units are known as Leaders, and the units they can lead – known as their Bodyguard units – are listed on their datasheet. During the Declare Battle Formations step, for each Leader in your army, if your army also includes one or more of that Leader’s Bodyguard units, you can select one of those Bodyguard units. That Leader will then attach to that Bodyguard unit for the duration of the battle and is said to be leading that unit. Each Bodyguard unit can only have one Leader attached to it. While a Bodyguard unit contains a Leader, it is known as an Attached unit and, with the exception of rules that are triggered when units are destroyed, it is treated as a single unit for all rules purposes. Each time an attack targets an Attached unit, until the attacking unit has resolved all of its attacks, you must use the Toughness characteristic of the Bodyguard models in that unit, even if a Leader in that unit has a different Toughness characteristic. Each time an attack sucessfully wounds an Attached unit, that attack cannot be allocated to a CHARACTER model in that unit, even if that CHARACTER model has lost one or more wounds or has already had attacks allocated to it this phase. As soon as the last Bodyguard model in an Attached unit has been destroyed, any attacks made against that unit that have yet to be allocated can then be allocated to CHARACTER models in that unit.
Each time the last model in a Bodyguard unit is destroyed, each CHARACTER unit that is part of that Attached unit is no longer part of an Attached unit. It becomes a separate unit, with its original Starting Strength. If this happens as the result of an attack, they become separate units after the attacking unit has resolved all of its attacks.
Each time the last model in a CHARACTER unit that is attached to a Bodyguard unit is destroyed and there is not another CHARACTER unit attached, that Attached unit’s Bodyguard unit is no longer part of an Attached unit. It becomes a separate unit, with its original Starting Strength. If this happens as the result of an attack, they become separate units after the attacking unit has resolved all of its attacks.
Each time a unit that is part of an Attached unit is destroyed, it does not have the keywords of any other units that make up that Attached unit (unless it has those keywords on its own datasheet) for the purposes of any rules that would be triggered when that unit is destroyed.
*Example: If you only destroy the Bodyguard unit that is part of an Attached unit, you have not destroyed a CHARACTER unit. If you only destroy the CHARACTER unit that is part of an Attached unit, or if you destroy the whole Attached unit, you have destroyed one CHARACTER unit.*
