Abilities

Emplacement Platform:Friendly ASTRA MILITARUM INFANTRY models can be set up or end any type of move on top of the platform section of this FORTIFICATION.
Reinforced Cover:Each time a ranged attack is allocated to a model, if that model is not fully visible to every model in the attacking unit because of this FORTIFICATION, that model has the Benefit of Cover against that attack.
Defence Line:While an ASTRA MILITARUM INFANTRY model has the Benefit of Cover as a result of this terrain feature (see above), that model has a 4+ invulnerable save.
Fortification:While an enemy unit is only within Engagement Range of one or more FORTIFICATIONS from your army:
  • That unit can still be selected as the target of ranged attacks, but each time such an attack is made, unless it is made with a Pistol, subtract 1 from the Hit roll.
  • Models in that unit do not need to take Desperate Escape tests due to Falling Back while Battle-shocked, except for those that will move over enemy models when doing so.

Stratagems

NameDescription
1CP RAPID INGRESS
Detachment: Core
WHEN: End of your opponent’s Movement phase.

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

EFFECT: Your unit can arrive on the battlefield as if it were the Reinforcements step of your Movement phase, and if every model in that unit has the Deep Strike ability, you can set that unit up as described in the Deep Strike ability (even though it is not your Movement phase).

RESTRICTIONS: You cannot use this Stratagem to enable a unit to arrive on the battlefield during a battle round it would not normally be able to do so in.
1CP INSANE BRAVERY
Detachment: Core
WHEN: Battle-shock step of your Command phase, just before you take a Battle-shock test for a unit from your army.

TARGET: That unit from your army.

EFFECT: Your unit automatically passes that Battle-shock test.

RESTRICTIONS: You cannot use this Stratagem more than once per battle.
1CP COMMAND RE-ROLL
Detachment: Core
WHEN: Any phase, just after you make an Advance roll, a Charge roll, a Desperate Escape test or a Hazardous test for a unit from your army, or a Hit roll, a Wound roll, a Damage roll or a saving throw for a model in that unit, or a roll to determine the number of attacks made with a weapon equipped by a model in that unit. If you are using fast dice rolling, this Stratagem can still be used after rolling multiple rolls or saving throws at once.

TARGET: That unit or model from your army.

EFFECT: You re-roll that roll, test or saving throw. If you are using fast dice rolling, select one of those rolls or saving throws to re-roll.
1CP SUPPRESS AND OVERWHELM
Detachment: Brood Brother Auxilia
WHEN: Your Shooting phase, just after an Astra Militarum unit from your army has shot.

TARGET: That ASTRA MILITARUM unit.

EFFECT: Select one enemy unit hit by one or more of those attacks. Until the end of the turn, that enemy unit cannot be targeted with the Fire Overwatch Stratagem and each time a GENESTEALER CULTS unit from your army selects that enemy unit as a target of a charge, you can re-roll the Charge roll.
1CP SYMBIOTIC DESTRUCTION
Detachment: Brood Brother Auxilia
WHEN: Your Shooting phase.

TARGET: One Astra Militarum and one GENESTEALER CULTS unit from your army that have not been selected to shoot this phase.

EFFECT: Select one enemy unit that is visible to both of those selected units and within range of at least one ranged weapon from each of those units. Until the end of the phase, models in those units can only make attacks that target that enemy unit (and only if it is an eligible target). When doing so, each time such a model makes an attack, re-roll a Wound roll of 1.
1CP A DARK NETWORK
Detachment: Brood Brother Auxilia
WHEN: Reinforcements step of your opponent’s Movement phase, just after an enemy unit is set up on the battlefield from Reserves.

TARGET: One Astra Militarum or GENESTEALER CULTS unit from your army (excluding Monsters and Vehicles) within 12" of that enemy unit.

EFFECT: Your unit can make a Normal move of up to 6".
2CP ACCEPTABLE LOSSES
Detachment: Brood Brother Auxilia
WHEN: Your Shooting phase.

TARGET: One Astra Militarum unit from your army.

EFFECT: Select one enemy unit within Engagement Range of one or more GENESTEALER CULTS units from your army. Until the end of the phase, your unit can make ranged attacks that target that enemy unit. If it does, after it has resolved those attacks, roll one D6 for each of those GENESTEALER CULTS units: on a 5+, the unit being rolled for suffers D3+1 mortal wounds.
