Detachment Rule

Hallowed Ground

Purging corrupted nodes of Warp energy, the Grey Knights establish an ever-expanding area of hallowed ground within which their psychic powers and indomitable resolve are greatly enhanced.

Certain areas of the battlefield are within your army’s Hallowed Ground, as follows:
  • Your deployment zone is always within your army’s Hallowed Ground.
  • The area of the battlefield within 6" of one or more Purifier Squad units from your army is within your army’s Hallowed Ground.
  • At the start of any phase, if you control at least half of the objective markers within No Man’s Land, until the end of that phase, No Man’s Land is within your army’s Hallowed Ground.
  • At the start of any phase, if you control at least half of the objective markers within your opponent’s deployment zone, until the end of that phase, your opponent’s deployment zone is within your army’s Hallowed Ground.
Each time a model in a GREY KNIGHTS unit from your army makes a ranged attack that targets a visible target or makes a melee attack, re-roll a Hit roll of 1. If that unit is a PURIFIER SQUAD and/or is wholly within your army’s Hallowed Ground, you can re-roll the Hit roll instead.
