Detachment Rule
Dutiful Tenacity
Even amongst the Adeptus Astartes, the battle-brothers of the Dark Angels are renowned for their tenacity and resilience on the battlefield. When ordered to war, they are utterly relentless in pursuing their objectives, wading into fields of withering fire and shrugging off blows that would slay mortal warriors outright.
Each time an attack targets an Adeptus Astartes Infantry or Adeptus Astartes Mounted unit from your army, if the Strength characteristic of that attack is greater than the Toughness characteristic of that unit, subtract 1 from the Wound roll.
