Detachment Rule
Focused Response
The battle-brothers of the Shield Chapters commit their boarding strikes with a measured and meticulous application of force. They storm one section after the next while maintaining heightened awareness of lurking threats, and readying themselves to launch devastating counterattacks.
- Each time an ADEPTUS ASTARTES model from your army makes an attack while firing Overwatch, an unmodified Hit roll of 5+ is required to score a hit, instead of an unmodified 6.
- Each time an enemy unit makes an attack that targets an ADEPTUS ASTARTES unit from your army that is Set To Defend, subtract 1 from the Hit roll.
