Detachment Rule

Sacred Oath

Space Marine Chapters do not lightly commit their precious suits of Terminator armour to battle, nor the storied veterans who wear them. When they go to war, they always do so with a vital duty and a crucial target.

Once per battle, at the start of your Command phase, when you select a target for Oath of Moment, you can use this Detachment rule. If you do, until the start of your next Command phase, each time an ADEPTUS ASTARTES model from your army makes an attack that targets your Oath of Moment target, you can re-roll the Wound roll.

Stratagems

CARVE A PATH

1 CP
Terminator Assault – Strategic Ploy Stratagem · Movement or Charge phase
WHEN: Your Movement phase or your Charge phase.

TARGET: One Terminator Assault Squad unit from your army that has not been selected to move this phase and has not declared a charge this phase.

EFFECT: Until the end of the phase, when making a Normal, Advance or Charge move, your unit can move through a single closed Hatchway as if it was open. When doing so, that Hatchway is opened and cannot be closed for the rest of the battle. This can allow that unit to declare a charge against enemy units that are not visible to it, but to do so those enemy units must be within 1" of that Hatchway and wholly on the opposite side of it from your unit.

RESTRICTIONS: You cannot use this Stratagem more than once per turn.

CLEANSING SWEEP

1 CP
Terminator Assault – Battle Tactic Stratagem · Movement or Charge phase
WHEN: Your opponent's Movement or Charge phase.

TARGET: One Terminator Squad unit from your army that has not fired Overwatch this phase.

EFFECT: Until the end of the phase, each time a model in your unit makes an attack while firing Overwatch, an unmodified Hit roll of 5+ is required to score a hit, instead of an unmodified 6.

FOCUSING SHRINE

1 CP
Terminator Assault – Strategic Ploy Stratagem · Movement phase
WHEN: Your Movement phase, at the start of the Reinforcements step.

TARGET: One Adeptus Astartes Terminator unit from your army that is in Reserves.

EFFECT: Until the end of the phase, when setting up your unit on the battlefield using its Deep Strike ability, you can set it up unit anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 6" horizontally away from all enemy models (measure this distance as you would normally for the Deep Strike ability, ignoring Walls and closed Hatchways).

RESTRICTIONS: Until the end of the turn, your unit is not eligible to declare a charge.

TOWER OF STRENGTH

1 CP
Terminator Assault – Strategic Ploy Stratagem · Any phase
WHEN: Start or end of any phase.

TARGET: One Adeptus Astartes Terminator unit from your army.

EFFECT: Until the end of your next Command phase, add 1 to the Objective Control characteristic of models in your unit.

RESTRICTIONS: Each time you use this Stratagem, you cannot use it again until after your next Command phase.
