Blast markers are an attempt to show in a simple and playable manner
that the psychological effect of fire is e$ery bit as important, if not more
important, than the actual number of casualties caused. Blast markers
represent a whole range of personal disasters occurring to the units in a
formation1 things being damaged, s!uads being scattered, breaking or
fleeing, and so on. They are a $ital part of 'pic so don,t o$erlook their
importance. The rules for Blast markers reflect the fact that most troops
will tend to grind to a halt and seek co$er when they come under e$en
!uite a small amount of fire >that,s why a single sniper can slow down
many times his own number of enemy troops?, but will only withdraw
when a combination of casualties and sustained enemy pressure con$inces
them that their position is untenable and they should withdraw >which is
why a single sniper will rarely dri$e the enemy off?.

Actions
After setting up their forces, the /rk player >-att? and the +mperial
Guard player >Bill? both roll a dice and add their strategy rating. The
+mperial Guard player rolls a @, to which he adds his strategy rating of
9 for a total of A. The /rk player rolls a B on the dice, plus his strategy
rating of B, gi$ing him a total of @. The +mperial Guard player hence
wins the strategy phase and may choose whether to go first or second. )e
chooses to go first.
The action phase now begins and the +mperial Guard player nominates
the formation with which he will attempt his first action.
)e picks a "teel Legion -echanised +nfantry %ompany out on the left
flank and declares that they are going to attempt a double action. The
chosen formation are members of the +mperial Guard, and therefore ha$e
an initiati$e rating of 9C. The player rolls the dice and scores a 5 D the
action is successful and the formation makes its chosen action >in this
case, mo$ing twice up the flank. They then ha$e the option to shoot but
can,t see any enemy so the formation,s action is at an end?.
The +mperial Guard player then decides he is going to try to retain the
initiati$e.
)e nominates a "teel Legion "uper )ea$y Tank %ompany on the other
side of the battlefield and declares that they are also going to attempt a
double action. The player rolls a dice and scores a 9 D the action fails,
since the formation has an +nitiati$e of 9, and suffers (: to its dice roll
for retaining the initiati$e. The formation recei$es a Blast marker and
must take a hold action instead of taking the double action.

-.C.? Transport 8ehicles
-any formations include transport $ehicles that can be used to carry other units that belong to the same formation. The number and type of units that can
be carried will be listed on the transport $ehicle,s datasheet. Transport $ehicles may only carry units from their own formation. Transport $ehicles can pick up
and carry units as part of the transport $ehicle,s mo$e. The $ehicle simply mo$es into base contact with the unit to be picked up, and then carries on with its
mo$e as normal. 3ote that the transported unit is not allowed to mo$e themsel$es during the mo$e when they are picked up.
Transported units may disembark at the end of any mo$e after the mo$e in which is it was picked up. This happens after any o$erwatch shots >see :.:6? but
before the mo$ing formation shoots or assaults. #isembarking units may be placed within Ecms of the transport $ehicle. +f the formation has engage orders
then they may be placed in base contact with an enemy unit. /therwise they may not be placed within an enemy unit,s 4one of control. 3ote that units do not
ha$e to disembark, and may remain in their transport if they prefer. .nits may not be picked up and disembark as part of the same mo$e, though a
formation making multiple mo$es as part of a march or double action could pick up units in one mo$e and drop them off as part of a subse!uent mo$e.
.nits may embark or disembark as part of a counter(charge mo$e >see :.:9.5?, unless the transport $ehicle carrying them is already in base contact with
two enemy units D in which case they must stay on board >they are trapped insideF?.
.nits being transported may not shoot unless the transport $ehicle,s datasheet specifically says otherwise. Transported units are counted towards the number
of units in the formation for all rules purposes >ie, when working out the number of units in$ol$ed in an assault or if the formation is broken by Blast
markers, etc?. +f the transport unit is destroyed, then any transported units may make their normal armour sa$e /0 make a @C co$er sa$e. "ee 9.9.@ if a

Terrain (onventions
+t is possible to ha$e all kinds of arguments about whether terrain
partially or fully blocks the line of fire to a target. Because of this, you
should discuss the terrain on your gaming table with your opponent before
a game starts and make sure you both agree on how it will work with
regard to this and any of the other terrain rules. )owe$er, the (: to hit
modifier should be generously applied, and if in any doubt it should be
counted rather than ignored.

'hooting (onventions
The following principles apply to shooting1
*easuring +anges2 =ou must decide with your opponent how you
will measure the range between two models during a game. The method
used by the author >and the default you should use if you can,t agree to
an alternati$e? is that a weapon is in range if any bit of the attacking
weapon is within range of any part of the target model >or at least one
of the models on a target stand?.
)ines of 6ire2 +n 'pic, the terrain and the models are assumed to be
the same scale, so if you want to check a difficult line of sight between
two units, all you need to do is bend o$er and get a ,model,s eye $iew, to
see if they are in each others line of fire.
PreGmeasuring2 =ou must decide with your opponent if you are
allowed to pre(measure distances during a game of 'pic, or if you must
declare charges or shooting attacks before measuring. For e&ample, you
must decide if you can measure to make sure a unit is within range of
the enemy before deciding who it will shoot at, etc. 'ach method has its
own distinct ad$antages, which boil down to pre(measuring being more
precise and tactical, and not allowing pre(measuring being more
characterful and e&citing. +f you cannot agree on which method to use
then use the author,s method, which is to allow pre(measuring.

'hooting
A "pace -arine #e$astator #etachment in 0hinos has Kust made an
ad$ance action >to get within range of the enemy?. All units ha$e made
their mo$e, and now are permitted to shoot. They decide to shoot at an
/rk warband nearby. The "pace -arine player measures the range
>which is within the #e$astators, range and line of fire? and places a
Blast marker.
There are four #e$astator units in the formation, each with two missile
launchers, making for a total of eight shooting attacks. All the units in
the target formation are infantry, so the #e$astators elect to shoot using
their A $alue, which is A EC.
The player controlling the #e$astators then rolls eight dice, scoring :, 9,
9, 5, 5, E, @ and @ D making for a total of B hits.
The nearest units in the enemy formation are all /rk Boy4 stands, three
of whom suffer a hit.
The /rk player then attempts to make sa$es for these three units, rolling
one dice for each. The /rk player fails to roll any @s, meaning that all
three units are destroyed.
A further three Blast markers are placed on the warband, taking the
total number of Blast markers up to four D not enough to break the
warband >since it has more than four units remaining?.

-.F.E 3arrages
-any artillery pieces, rocket launchers and some other weapons fire a barrage of shots causing mass destruction on the enemy. When these guns or launchers
are grouped together in an attack they always fire a single barrage at the same target. /n their datasheets, these weapons ha$e no to hit rolls D instead they
ha$e a number of barrage points >Bs?. The main difference between a barrage and a normal attack is that the barrage co$ers a substantial area and so
may hit se$eral units.
To fire a barrage, first take a Barrage template >see :.6.:? and place it on the table where you want the barrage to land. 'ach weapon contributing to the
barrage must be within range and ha$e a line of fire to at least one unit under the template. Weapons that are not in range or do not ha$e a line of fire to
an enemy unit that falls under the template may not fire at all this turn. =ou are allowed to place templates o$er your own units, or units from se$eral enemy
formations if you wish but all units under the templates D friend and foe alike D are attacked. Any formation that is attacked recei$es a Blast marker for
Gcoming under fire, >see :.H.5?. 3e&t, refer to the data sheet to work out the total number of Barrage points. The whole formation fires at once, so the
number of Barrage points for each weapon that is in range and has a line of fire is added together. When you ha$e worked out the total number of barrage
points refer to the barrage table below. 3ote that a formation may only fire one barrage per turn D a single formation may not fire separate barrages at
different targets.
The Barrage table lists the hit roll re!uired to hit each unit under the Barrage template. 0oll to hit all units >friend or foe? under the template with the
appropriate to hit $alues. +n order to speed dice rolling we recommend rolling to hit all units of e&actly the same type together, and then remo$ing any
casualties from those closest to the enemy first.

EJtra 3arrage Templates2 Large barrages may recei$e e&tra Barrage templates. The Barrage table will tell you if a barrage recei$es any e&tra
Barrage templates. lace any e&tra templates so that they touch the first template that was placed, and so that no templates o$erlap. All units under the
templates are attacked with the barrage,s to hit $alues. 3ote that once the first template has been placed, the attacker may choose where to place the
additional templates, as long as they are touching the first template, and no line of fire, placement or range restrictions apply >see below?.
EJtra 3last *arkers2 0eally large artillery barrages are $ery effecti$e at suppressing enemy troops as well as killing them. To represent this, a large
barrage may inflict one, two or three e&tra Blast markers, as shown on the barrage table. The Blast markers are placed in addition to any Blast markers
placed on a formation for it coming under fire or for any casualties that it suffered. +f se$eral formations are being attacked then each recei$es the appropriate
number of e&tra Blast markers.
0sing 3arrage Templates2 #eciding which enemy units ha$e been caught underneath a circular Barrage template is another one of the things that can
cause endless arguments during a game. The method we use >and the default you should use unless you ha$e a different con$ention that you prefer? is that a
unit is affected if any part of the model falls under the template, or at least one model on a stand. +n addition, templates must be placed in such a way as to
get as many enemy units from the target formation under them as possible within the restrictions for lines of fire and range. This stops players Gsniping, at
important units with artillery.

to put one of his "teel Legion -echani4ed +nfantry %ompanies onto
o$erwatch. )e passes the Action test and the unit goes onto o$erwatch.
3earby, an /rk formation chooses a sustained fire action and shoots at
a nearby Titan. The /rk formation doesn,t mo$e, so can,t trigger the
formation on o$erwatch to fire. Their o$erwatch goes onL
Later in the same turn, another /rk formation chooses a double action
and mo$es across in front of the +mperial Guard on o$erwatch. At the
end of their first mo$e, the /rks are within line of fire of the +mperial
Guard detachment, but the player decides not to shoot at them since their
second mo$e will take them closer to another unit with which he can shoot
them anyway. The o$erwatch is not triggered and still goes onL
A new turn begins and the /rk player wins the "trategy phase, enabling
him to go first. The first thing the /rk player does is begin an engage
action with a 2ult of "peed, which begins tearing towards the +mperial
Guard. At the end of their mo$e, they are $ery close to the +mperial
Guard formation, but before the assault is resol$ed, the +mperial Guard
player announces that he is going to trigger the formation,s o$erwatch and
shoot at the 2ult of "peed. The shooting is resol$ed normally, and in all
likelihood will pro$ide a massi$e aid to the +mperial Guard in the
coming assault.
After the effects of the shooting ha$e been resol$ed, the assault is resol$ed

of fire less than 5Ecms long to a unit in the "pace -arine Tactical formation, and so is able to claim the crossfire bonus when shooting on the /rks.
The Land 0aiders, lascannon are ineffecti$e against the /rk infantry, but their hea$y bolters inflict three hits. The (: sa$e modifier means that it is
impossible for the /rks to make their armour sa$e so three units are remo$ed as casualties.
Fi$e Blast markers are inflicted on the /rks1 one for coming under fire, two for the first casualty caused by the hea$y bolter fire, and two more for the

Assaults
The rules for assaults that follow are a crucial part of the 'pic rules,
and so it,s important to understand what they represent. .nlike most
wargames, where assaults only really co$er hand(to(hand combat, in 'pic
an assault co$ers e$erything that happens when a formation is ordered to
assault an enemy formation. To put this another way, if you think of an
assault as co$ering e$erything that happens in a typical 5(@ turn game of
Warhammer 56,666, then you won,t go too far wrongF
This means that while hand(to(hand combat >called close combat in 'pic?
can be a part of what happens in an assault, it is by no means
e$erything that happens. =ou will find it !uite common for assaults to be
resol$ed without any units making it into close combat at all, Kust as
games of Warhammer 56,666 can be resol$ed without any close combat
taking place.
/ne final point that needs to be made here is that an assault only occurs
if a formation takes an engage action. This means it is possible for
enemy formations to end up $ery close to each other >less than :Ecms?
without ha$ing to fight an assault. This reflects your troops, natural
inclination to get under co$er when they are close to the enemy unless they
are ordered to attack.

Assault Weapons and 'mall Arms
-any unit datasheets include weapons that are noted as being either
assault weapons or small arms.
The term assault weapons co$ers all of the di$erse close combat weapons
of the 5:st -illennium, including chainswords, power weapons and /rk
choppas. The effect of these weapons is included in a unit,s %lose
%ombat $alue and so they can only be used during an assault. For
e&ample, Assault -arines with chainswords ha$e the effect of these
weapons included in their %lose %ombat $alue of BC.
The term Gsmall arms, co$ers a di44ying array of short(range weapons
used by units in the 5:st -illennium. '&amples include lasguns, bolters
and /rk shootas. The effect of these weapons is included in a unit,s
Firefight $alue and can only be used during an assault. For e&ample,
Tactical -arines with boltguns ha$e the effect of these weapons included
in their Firefight $alue of 5C.
An assault is the only time that units get to use their Gsmall arms, such
as bolters or lasguns, although these weapons ha$e a nominal range of
:Ecm on the unit datasheets. This represents the limited amounts of
ammo carried for such weapons, and also that in combat most soldiers
will keep their heads down and only shoot when the situation is really
desperateF 3either of these problems generally apply to hea$y weapons
teams, which is why these weapons get to shoot all of the time.

-.-9.-/ Intermingled 6ormations
/ccasionally an attacker will wish to attack a position where units from
two enemy formations are intermingled together. When a player declares
the target for a charging formation he can choose, if he wishes, to include
any enemy formations that are intermingled with the target formation as
being part of the target of the charge. Two formations are intermingled
if they ha$e any units within Ecm of each other. +f there are two or
more formations within Ecm of the target formation, then the attacker
can choose to include one or more of them as the target, he does not
though ha$e to include any of them.
For the purposes of the assault, the intermingled formation is treated as
being a single formation. All of the intermingled formations are allowed
to make counter charges, and hits may be allocated to all of the
formations in$ol$ed. /nce casualties ha$e been worked out, a 9#@ roll is
used to resol$e the assault. Add together all of the Blast markers on the
intermingled formations when working out the result of the assault. +f
the defender loses then each formation is broken and must withdraw. +f
the defender wins then each formation recei$es a number of Blast
markers e!ual to the number of casualties it suffered in the combat >ie,
if one defending formation lost two units and then another one, then the
first would get two Blast markers and the other would recei$e one Blast
marker?.

+ules <uestions
Tabletop wargaming is an imprecise science and can often generate rules
!uestions. The sheer number of $ariables thrown up by the rules, army
lists and $aried tabletop terrain pretty much guarantees that at some
point during any game you and your opponent will ha$e a discussion
about how e&actly to deal with a situation that has occurred, or you will
find that you play the game using slightly different methods or
con$entions.
.sually, you will be able to o$ercome these differences by simply chatting
about them with your opponent, but occasionally you will find that you
each feel a rule or situation should be interpreted in a diametrically
opposed way. "uch a situation can lead to a $ery heated debate that might
spoil your enKoyment of the game, and because of this, when these
situations occur try not to argue about the rules, and instead simply smile
and say ;/kay, let,s play it your wayF< Trust me, you,ll find that this
method of play is much more rela&ing and fun than bickering about
rules, and you may find that you actually prefer your opponent,s method
to your own. +t,s also the mature approach, which + think is rather
appropriate for a game like 'pic, which when all is said and done is
designed for e&perienced wargamers rather than e&perienced rules lawyers.

+mperial Titans are protected by $oid shield generators. The number of $oid shields each Titan has is noted on the Titan,s datasheet.
'ach $oid shield will automatically stop one point of damage and then go down. #o not make armour sa$es for damage stopped by $oid shields, nor allocate Blast markers. /nce all of the shields ha$e been knocked down,
the Titan may be damaged normally and you may make sa$ing throws against any hits that are scored. )its from close combat ignore $oid shields but units using their firefight $alues must first knock down any shields
before they can damage the Titan.
Poid shields that ha$e been knocked down can be repaired. 'ach Titan can repair one downed $oid shield in the end phase of each turn. +n addition, if a Titan regroups it can use the dice roll to either repair the $oid
shield or remo$e Blast markers >eg, if you rolled a 9 you could repair 9 shields, remo$e 9 Blast markers or repair : shield and remo$e : Blast marker?.

'ldar Farseers are able to partially unra$el the threads of time, allowing them to foresee e$ents that may affect his army, and act to counter them. To represent this, any 'ldar formation that includes a unit with Farsight
may ignore the (: Action test penalty when they try to retain the initiati$e.
+n addition, once per turn the 'ldar player may attempt to retain the initiati$e twice in a row >i.e. the 'ldar player can retain the initiati$e and take another action after ha$ing successfully retained the initiati$e once
already?. Any 'ldar formation may be chosen, including those that do not include a unit with Farsight, but at least one unit with Farsight must still be in play and on the battlefield. The formation must still pass an
initiati$e test in order to carry out the action, and will suffer the (: modifier for retaining the initiati$e unless it includes a unit with Farsight. /nce the action has been taken the initiati$e returns to the opposing player.

The 'ldar are a dying race, and any loss is deeply mourned. Because of this they ha$e de$eloped tactics that, when combined with their highly ad$anced technology, allows them to attack the enemy and then !uickly retire in
order to a$oid any return fire. This special ability is reflected by the following special rules, which apply to all formations in an 'ldar army.
'ldar formations that take ad$ance or double actions may choose to shoot either before or after each mo$e. )owe$er, they may still only shoot once during the action. For e&ample, an 'ldar formation taking an ad$ance
action could shoot and then mo$e or mo$e and then shoot, while a formation taking a double action could shoot and mo$e twice, mo$e twice and then shoot, or mo$e then shoot and then mo$e again.
+n addition 'ldar formations that wins an assault are allowed to mo$e any distance up to their speed $alue when they consolidate, rather than being limited to a mo$e of Ecms as would normally be the case.

The 'ldar are a technologically sophisticated race that make use of a number of de$ices that ha$e capabilities far in ad$ance of anything used by the other races in the gala&y. These technological ad$antages are
represented in 'pic by the following special rules1
@olofield2 'ldar Titans are protected by a )olofield that is proKected from special wing(like structures on the Titan,s carapace. These fracture the image of the Titan making it appear as a swirling cloud of coloured
motes to the naked eye, while at the same time disrupting any targeting de$ices attempting to lock onto the Titan. The o$erall result is to make the Titan a $ery hard target to hitF )olofields pro$ide Titans with a special
BC sa$ing throw that can be taken instead of the Titan,s normal sa$ing throw. This sa$e may always be taken, e$en against hits in an assault or against Titan 2iller or -acro(weapons attacks. -ake a single sa$ing
against weapons with the Titan 2iller ability, rather than a separate sa$e for each point of damage. +f a $ehicle with a )olofield also has 0einforced Armour, then it is allowed to re(roll its sa$ing throw unless hit by
Lance, -acro(weapon or Titan 2iller attacks, but the re(roll must be made using the units armour sa$e rather than the )olofield sa$e. 3o Blast markers are placed for hits that are sa$ed by a )olofield.
)ance2 A Lance uses a highly concentrated beam of laser energy to destroy hea$ily armoured targets. A unit with 0einforced Armour that is hit by a Lance weapon is not allowed to re(roll its sa$ing throw.
Webwa Portal2 Webway portals are used by the 'ldar to safely tra$el through the Warp. 'ach Webway ortal included in the army allows the 'ldar player to pick up to three other formations, and keep them back
on the %raftworld. Any formation,s that are kept on the %raftworld may enter play $ia the Webway ortal, by taking an action that allows them to make a mo$e, and then measuring their first mo$e from the position that
a Webway ortal occupies on the tabletop. 3ote that the formation may appear through any Webway ortal, not Kust the one that was Gused, to allow the formation to be kept off(board. 3o more than one formation may
tra$el through each Webway ortal each turn.
+n the 'pic Tournament Game 0ules formations in reser$e with multiple deployment options must ha$e a designated deployment method during setup >e.g. Webway ortal, air transport or teleport?.

The #ark 'ldar are piratical raiders from the depths of the #ark %ity and the treacherous e&panses of space. #ue to their limited population, losses simply cannot be sustained at length. Because of this they ha$e
de$eloped tactics that when combined with their highly ad$anced technology allows them to attack the enemy and then !uickly retire in order to a$oid any return fire. This ability is reflected by the following special rules,
which apply to all formations in a #ark 'ldar army1
#ark 'ldar formations that take ad$ance or double actions may choose to shoot either before or after each mo$e. )owe$er, they may still only shoot once during the action. For e&ample, a #ark 'ldar formation taking an
ad$ance action could shoot and then mo$e or mo$e and then shoot, while a formation taking a double action could shoot and mo$e twice, mo$e twice and then shoot, or mo$e then shoot and then mo$e again.
+n addition, a #ark 'ldar formation that wins an assault is allowed to mo$e up to their full mo$ement when they consolidate, rather than being limited to a mo$e of Ecms as would normally be the case.
'PE(IA) +0)E
?.-:.9 6leet of 6oot
With eons in which to practice pirating techni!ues upon the mon(keigh of the gala&y, the #ark 2in ha$e honed the skill of s!uee4ing e$ery bit of ad$antage from a lightning style attack. To represent this, #ark 'ldar
formations do not incur the typical penalties that other races would after taking a -arch action. #ark 'ldar formations that ha$e marched may lend support in assaults, help claim a crossfire bonus, and e$en fire flak
shots.
'PE(IA) +0)E
?.-:.: &ark Eldar Technolog
Webwa Portals2 These smallish portals are used by the #ark 'ldar as much as the 'ldar. Allowing safe tra$el through the Warp, each Webway portal included in the army allows the #ark 'ldar player to keep up
to three formations back in %ommorragh. Any of these reser$e formations may enter play $ia a Webway portal by taking an action that allows them to mo$e, then measuring its first mo$e from the portal on the tabletop.
3o more than one formation may tra$el through a single portal each turn. Wraithgate use is limited to formations made up e&clusi$ely of infantry, light $ehicles, and armored $ehicles with the walker ability >The feared
2ashnarak is the e&ception to the rule?.
'hadowfields2 #ark 'ldar war engines are shrouded in light absorbing energy fields which ser$e as a powerful defence against the massed guns of their cornered prey. 'ach shadowfield will absorb one successful hit
before going downR no blast markers are caused for this hit >this includes firefight but not close combat?. A war engine with at least one shadowfield remaining automatically regains an additional field at the end of the rally
phase of each turn. +f the shadowfields are completely knocked out, they will not return for the remainder of the game. The war engine can ne$er ha$e more shadowfields than originally allotted. +n addition an acti$e
"hadowfield always counts as being in co$er >apply (: co$er modifier?. This has no effect on their engagements, howe$er, either in close combat or firefight.

?.-?.- Necron Technolog
Necron2 3ecron technology allows many of its units to repair themsel$es at an accelerated rate. This is reflected as the 3ecron ability in a unit,s datasheet.
.nits with the 3ecron ability that ha$e been destroyed can regenerate. Formations can return one pre$iously destroyed 3ecron unit in the end phase of each turn either on or off the board. +n addition, if a formation
regroups on board it can use the dice rolls to either return units with the 3ecron ability to play or to remo$e blast markers or both >e.g., if you rolled a G9, you could return 9 units to play, remo$e 9 blast markers, or
return : unit and remo$e : blast marker?. Formations off board are restricted to using their regroup function to remo$e blast markers only.
Portals2 3ecron ortals are the primary means by which the 3ecron forces are transported across the gala&y. Any formation that is in the reser$es, either because it has not entered play or has left the board for any
reason, may enter play $ia a portal as part of any acti$ation that allows mo$ement. -easure their mo$ement using the portal as the starting point. Additionally, formations may lea$e the board by entering a portal, taking
them into the reser$es. 3ote that once in the reser$es they can either re(enter play immediately $ia another portal, pro$ided they ha$e mo$ement, or remain in the reser$es.
3ecron ortals can only be used by Armoured Pehicles with the walker ability, +nfantry, or Light Pehicles. 'ach portal can be used only once per turn for either entering or e&iting the battlefield, not for both. Thus a
Formation may enter one portal with part of their mo$ement, and e&it from a second, unused portal, continuing their mo$ement from that portal.
+f, at the end of the mo$ement, a unit is out of formation it is destroyed >see core rule :.J.5?. '&ample1 if you mo$ed a formation of four units through one portal and out another and two units were unable to make the
full mo$ement >i.e. get through the second portal?, the 3ecron player would ha$e to choose which units were to be destroyed, the two that mo$ed through the portal or the two that didn,t.
)iving *etal2 .nits made of li$ing metal recei$e a 0einforced Armor sa$ing throw against normal weapons, lance weapons, and e$en macro(weapons. +n addition, their sa$e is not reduced by sniper abilities. Any
Titan 2iller attacks are automatically reduced to Titan 2iller >:? when resol$ing hits against Li$ing -etal units, and Li$ing -etal units are permitted a single armor sa$e. "ee the chart below.

The 3ecron are an offensi$e army, always on the ad$ance, stopping only to eliminate enemy positions before mo$ing on to har$est others. While subKect to disruption from losses and enemy fire, the mechanical nature of the

"ome units are noted as being able to call in coordinated fire. These units can order up to two other
formations within :Ecm that ha$e not taken an action this turn, and which are not broken, to follow
their own formation when they take an ad$ance, double or sustained fire action.
-ake a single initiati$e roll for all formations, counting a single (: modifier if any ha$e blast markers.
+f the test is failed then the original formation >containing the unit calling for coordinated fire? recei$es a
Blast marker and must take a hold action, but the other formations are unaffected >and may take an
action later in the turn?. +f the test is passed then all formations concerned are allowed to take either an
ad$ance, double or sustained fire action.
There is no obligation for all formations to take the same action, and these actions may be resol$ed in any
order, but they must all fire at the same target formation. The formations don,t ha$e to stay within a
gi$en distance of each other and will complete their actions one after the other. 'ach formations action is
declared and resol$ed >including testing to see if the target formation is broken? before mo$ing on to the
ne&t Tau formation.
3ote that units with this ability confer the %oordinated Fire ability to any formation that they Koin. For
e&ample, a athfinder upgrade purchased to be added to a Fire Warrior %adre, adds the %oordinated
Fire ability to all units in the %adre.

Guided -issiles may be fired without Line of Fire if the target is marked. A Tau formation may not

at a marked formation, all ranged firepower attacks add C: to their to(hit roll. This bonus for shooting
at a marked enemy may not be used when making Anti(Aircraft attacks.
Tau Ket Packs2 Tau Qet acks follow all the rules for Qump acks. Additionally, units with Tau Qet
acks are allowed to make an additional mo$e of :6cm at the end of an ad$ance, double or march
order. The e&tra mo$e is allowed whether or not the unit fires and takes place after any firing. This e&tra
mo$e may be in any direction and follows all the normal mo$ement rules, so unit coherency and 4ones of

Tournament Terrain
The tournament game rules will work on any type of terrain. )owe$er, especially dense or e&tremely sparse terrain will fa$our some armies or troop choices
o$er others. An /rk army with a lot of Boy4 will do well on a table co$ered with lots of terrain, for e&ample, while an /rk army with lots of buggies and
gunwagons will do better on a table with sparse terrain. +n addition, certain terrain features can fa$our one army o$er another. )a$ing a ri$er running the
length of the table will fa$our an army with a lot of skimmers and aircraft. =ou get the idea, +,m sure.
Because of this, we recommend you use the following guidelines when setting up terrain for tournament games. These are not a set of hard and fast rules, but
if they are used will ensure a well(balanced game no matter what army or units are taken.
We recommend the use of terrain features when playing tournament games in preference to modular terrain >see the Appendices for a more detailed
description of the two types of terrain?.
Terrain features can be of pretty much any type, but should be roughly :E(B6cm across. )ills can be up to twice this si4e. "ee below for a note of
how to deal with ri$ers and roads.
#i$ide the table into @6cm >9 foot? s!uare areas. The total number of terrain features placed should be e!ual to twice the number of @6cm s!uare
areas. For e&ample, if you were playing on a :96cm by :A6 cm, you would ha$e si& areas and should place :9 terrain features.
Within the limits abo$e, place between 6(5 features in each @6cm s!uare.
The terrain may include one ri$er. 0i$ers count as a terrain feature for each area that they run through. They need to enter on one table edge and
lea$e from another, and should not be greater in length than the shortest table edge. For e&ample, on a :96cm by :A6cm table, the ri$er should not
be more than :96cm long. There should be a bridge or ford e$ery B6cm along the ri$er.
0oads may be added after all terrain features ha$e been placed. Any number of roads may be used. They need to enter on one table edge and either
e&it from another or end at a terrain feature.

&E'I#N (4N(EPT
A.9.- The O(ounts As +ule
=ou may if you wish decide that certain units in your army Gcount as, something else from the army lists that is of roughly the same si4e and function. This
is especially useful if you are using old models that are no longer in the range and therefore not co$ered in the army lists, or you are using models that are
painted differently. For e&ample, you might ha$e managed to lay your hands on some of the old metal /rk "!uigoth models that we made many years ago
but that are now no longer in the range. 0ather than lea$ing these models languishing on the shelf you could simply decide that they Gcount as, /rk
Battlewagons, which are roughly the same si4e as a "!uigoth and ha$e a similar function. Alternati$ely, you may ha$e decided to use the "teel Legion army
list to represent a different +mperial Guard regiment with a $ery different colour scheme. Again, it would be a great shame not to be able to use your
gorgeously painted army, and the Gcounts as, rule will allow you to do so. )owe$er, if you decide to use the Gcounts as, rule, then there are three $ery
important things to bear in mind1
First of all, before the game starts you must tell your opponent that you ha$e decided to use the Gcounts as, rule, and you must let him know what
counts as what.
"econdly, this rule is here to allow you to use all the models in your collection, not as a method of fine(tuning your army for e$ery game that you
play. Therefore you may not use the Gcounts as, rule for units that are actually co$ered in the army lists. For e&ample, if you ha$e a model of a
Land "peeder, then you must use it as a Land "peeder and pay the points for a Land "peederR you could not use it as a Land "peeder Tornado, or
a redator, or any other unit for that matter. By the same token, a Land "peeder Tornado must be used as a Land "peeder Tornado and can,t
stand in for any other units. This rule is included to pre$ent confusion and keep game play as e$en and balanced as possible. 3ote that you can
paint the unit in any way you like, you Kust can,t count it as a different unit from the list.
Finally, if you decide that any unit in your army Gcounts as, something else, then all of that type of unit in your army must count as the same
thing. For e&ample, if you decided that your old "!uigoth model was a Battlewagon, then all the "!uigoths in your army would ha$e to be
Battlewagons D you couldn,t ha$e one "!uigoth as a Battlewagon, one as a Gunwagon, and so on.

A.A.- *a Not #arrison
The 'ldar are a highly mobile army, and rarely ha$e enough forces to try
to take and hold ground. Because of this, instead of maintaining a
hea$ily garrisoned front line, they will usually rely on a screen of 0angers
and War Walkers to warn of the approach of any enemy forces.
-eanwhile the bulk of the highly mobile 'ldar army will be held back
in reser$e, where it will be ready to mo$e !uickly to any threatened sector.
This tactic allows the 'ldar to hold large areas of ground with relati$ely
few troops.
To represent these tactics, only 'ldar 0angers and War Walkers are
allowed to garrison obKecti$es in the 'pic tournament game scenario.

The "pace -arines are a highly mobile army. Because of this the points
cost of a detachment usually includes enough transport $ehicles to
transport it and any upgrades that ha$e been taken. The number of
$ehicles will always be the minimum needed to carry the formation, you
can,t take e&tras along to co$er any lossesF The transport $ehicles will be
Land 0aiders if the detachment is Terminators, 0hinos for any other
form of detachment.
3ote that many formations don,t recei$e transports, usually because they
can,t fit into them. #etachments that come with $ehicles will be noted as
ha$ing ;plus transport< in the .nits section of the detachment list below.
White "cars detachments must take the transport $ehicles for a
detachment D you cannot lea$e them behind in order to use the unit as a
garrison. =ou can only choose to ignore this if the detachment is instead
to be deployed from a Thunderhawk gunship.
+n addition you may choose to replace a detachment,s $ehicles with drop
pods. +f you choose to do this, all transported detachments in the army
must deploy from drop pods D you can,t ha$e some in transport $ehicles
and some deploying from drop pods. +f you do choose to use drop pods,
then the affected detachments will enter play in drop pods using the rules
for lanetfall >see section 5.5?. 3ote that you will re!uire at least one

Ten thousand years ago, the +mperium of -an was beset by a
de$astating ci$il war known as the )orus )eresy. "e$eral "pace -arine
Legions rebelled against the ;False 'mperor< under the persuasi$e(yet(
corrupt leadership of Warmaster )orus, a former lieutenant of the
'mperor who fell under %haos, sway. "pace -arine fought brother
"pace -arine, culminating in a final battle at the +mperial alace on
)oly Terra.
Though the forces of the +mperium were $ictorious, the 'mperor of

sustain his life. -eanwhile, the sur$i$ing rebel "pace -arines fled for the
'ye of Terror, a massi$e Warp storm on the northeastern edge of the
gala&y. )ere, warpspace mi&ed with realspace and the #aemons of
%haos could manifest themsel$es.
The traitor "pace -arines took refuge in the 'ye of Terror, launching

"pace -arines became an endless plague upon the +mperium, wreaking
ha$oc in the name of their %haos Gods.
%haos "pace -arines ha$e most of the capabilities of regular "pace

de$oted to their cult, be they 3oise -arines in ser$ice of "laanesh to

on their opponents, from #aemon acks to %haos #efilers. They can be
organi4ed in an infinite number of ways, which is appropriate because
%haos embodies disorder itself. +n the end, %haos "pace -arine armies
are feared opponents that are seen as highly unpredictable by those who

suffer from hatred and are not hated by other Factions.
A formation that has no units from a hated formation within :Ecm of

Formations that purchase the #aemonic act upgrade >see army lists in @.:: and @.:9? are able to summon daemons to the battlefield. +n order to summon
daemons, a player must first purchase a single #aemon ool from which all formations with the #aemonic act upgrade will summon.
#aemons in the #aemon ool are purchased and noted only as being lesser or greater daemons, not by their faction. The summoning formation,s faction
dictates what types of daemons may be summoned >see below?. layers should either write down the contents of their #aemon ool or use tokens to indicate
the number of each lesser and greater daemon they ha$e a$ailable to summon during a game. The %haos player,s opponent is always able to $iew the number
of lesser and greater daemons remaining in the #aemon ool. The #aemon ool is kept off the board and daemons are remo$ed from it as formations
summon daemons onto the board.
At the start of that formation,s action, before the action test dice roll is made, the formation may summon daemonic units from the #aemon ool.
"ummoning allows you to call 9#B summoning points worth of daemonic units to the battlefield >the number of summoning points it costs to summon a
unit will be listed on its data sheet, but as a general rule greater daemons cost A summoning points and all other units cost : summoning point each?.
"ummoning points must be used to summon daemonic units from the #aemon ool and summoned units are brought into play immediately. +f for any
reason any summoning points generated are not used, they are lost and may not be carried o$er into subse!uent turns. =ou may only summon as many
daemons as you ha$e left in your #aemon ool. Left o$er daemonic units may be summoned during a later turn. #aemonic units that are destroyed are
remo$ed from play and are not put back into the #aemon ool. Broken formations or formations that ha$e not bought a #aemonic act may not summon
daemons.
layers may only ha$e one greater daemon of a gi$en faction in the army on the board at one time. For e&ample, if you already ha$e a summoned
Bloodthirster on the board you are not allowed to summon another Bloodthirster until that first greater daemon has been remo$ed from play. "ummoned
units must be set up with their base within Ecm of any non(daemonic unit from their formation, >i.e. you cannot place a Gchain, of summoned units?. They
may not be set up in the Sone of %ontrol of an enemy unit or in impassable terrain. The type of unit that can be summoned depends on the summoning
formation,s faction, as follows1

"ummoned units count as part of the formation for all rules purposes as long as they remain on the battlefield. "ummoned units are '&pendable, but they
are otherwise counted as normal units, and are included when working out if a formation outnumbers an opponent in an assault or is broken by Blast
markers, etc. 3ote that #aemons that are killed in an assault do count towards the number of units killed by the enemy when working out modifiers for
assault resolution. +f a formation loses an assault >see :.:9.A? remo$e e&tra hits from the formation before it is broken and all the remaining summoned
units are then remo$ed.
"ummoned units remain on the battlefield until the end phase of the turn in which they are summoned. +n the end of the rally phase, after formations ha$e
attempted to rally, all summoned units in the formation are remo$ed from the board and placed back into the #aemon ool unless the formation has a unit
with #aemonic Focus >see E.::.9?. Greater #aemons that are returned to the #aemon ool keep the same #% they had when they left the battlefield. They
do not heal back to full #%, so when summoned again they will ha$e that same #%. "ummoned units that are destroyed are not put back into the #aemon
ool. 3ote that this may lead to the formation breaking if the number of Blast markers on the formation is greater than the number of units left in play
after the summoned units ha$e been remo$ed. When a formation breaks any summoned units in the formation are lost in the warp and considered destroyed.
They do not go back into the #aemon ool.

'$en on worlds where the +mperial %ult is rigidly adhered to, there are
some who are lured by the power of %haos. "ecret cabals spring up on
hundreds of planets e$en as the +n!uisition ruthlessly purges sects and
hidden organi4ations across the +mperium. Led by an Arch )eretic and
his secret co$en of manipulators, assassins and iconoclasts, the %ult
co$ertly spreads the doctrines of %haos. +mperial citi4ens from e$ery
strata of societyWsoldiers, factory workers, clerks, e$en high(ranking
officialsWall are enticed with the promises of power, $engeance, and a
better world.
The Arch )eretic will lead his followers in secret rites, summoning
hideous daemons to aid them in their insane !uest for domination.
-utants and beasts, the children of %haos, are accepted as brethren and
swell the ranks of the cult. Whole companies of planetary defense force
troops swear allegiance to the %haos Gods or are manipulated to fight
unknowingly for %haos. When the time is right, these insidious groups
rise up in bloody re$olt, attempting to oust the rightful rulers of the
planet and throw their world at the feet of the %haos Gods. -any are
disco$ered and swiftly e&ecuted by the Adeptus Arbites and +n!uisition,
but there are always others willing to trade their soul for alluring
promises of power and immortality.
#uring Abaddon,s Thirteenth Black %rusade, a large uprising of chaos
cultists occurred on the gate world of %adia. A horde of mutants from
the notorious "tigmatus %o$enant numbering almost ten thousand
assaulted positions held by the +mperial Fists "pace -arine chapter.
While the hated ser$ants of the false emperor e$entually dro$e back the
besieging cultists, at the height of the assault on the walls of 2asr
Pasan, a group of se$eral hundred cultists o$erwhelmed the +mperial
Fist,s company commander, %aptain Tialo. The cultists breached the wall

an enemy 4one of control, the beast stops its mo$e. %onsolidation mo$es are also toward the closest formation. From then on, it is the first acti$ation of
subse!uent turns, before the strategy roll or teleport, following the model abo$e. A broken 2ashnarak will remain in place on the board and will not attempt
a mo$e until it rallies.

assault or mo$e may be directed by the #ark 'ldar player. This includes a Wych unit within :Ecm of the 2ashnarak,s Webway portal. +n addition, the

A.-F.- Tiger 'hark #un &rones
Tiger "hark "!uadrons may be gi$en a Gun #rone formation to
transport. Transported Gun #rone formations may be split across
multiple Tiger "harks as an e&ception to the normal aircraft transport
rules. The Tiger "harks cannot land, make an 'ngagement, or embark
units, but can disembark transported Gun #rones after an approach
mo$e. The Gun #rone formation may shoot when it disembarks as
normal >see 5.9.E?, and counts as ha$ing acti$ated for that turn. After
this initial deployment the Gun #rones are a completely independent
formation. Gun #rones being transported by Tiger "harks do not
generate blast markers for being destroyed until after they are
disembarked.
