Detachment Rule

Warp Portals

Conjured warp portals flicker across the battlefield, tearing through the fabric of reality according to arcane designs. They are a means, however perilous and unnatural, for the warband’s most elite warriors to traverse the battlefield in a matter of strides and strike again at new locations.

At the end of your opponent’s turn, you can select a number of Heretic Astartes Terminator, Obliterators and Mutilators units from your army (excluding units that are within Engagement Range of one or more enemy units). The maximum number of units you can select depends on the battle size, as follows:

BATTLE SIZENUMBER OF UNITS
IncursionUp to 1 unit
Strike ForceUp to 2 units
OnslaughtUp to 3 units

Once you have made your selections, remove those units from the battlefield and place them into Strategic Reserves.
