Detachment Rule
Adaptive Defence
These Space Marines are experts in fighting from rapidly prepared defensive positions. They are able to maximise the potential of almost any terrain to serve as an ad-hoc strongpoint, rapidly assessing optimal firing lines and punishing the foe’s every attempt to advance and dislodge them.
Each time an ADEPTUS ASTARTES model from your army makes an attack, if that model’s unit is within a terrain feature, re-roll a Hit roll of 1 and re-roll a Wound roll of 1.
ADEPTUS ASTARTES units from your army gain the ENTRENCHED keyword while all of the following are true:

- That unit is within a terrain feature.
- That unit was not set up on the battlefield this turn.
- No model in that unit has moved more than 3" this turn.
