 VICIOUS CONFLICT IN THE SHADOW WARS
A SHADOW WAR: ARMAGEDDON EXPANSION

This is the Age of Darkness. The long period civil war in the Imperium where brother fought against brother and the Galaxy burned. Whilst Horus
marched toward Terra worlds were shattered and the works of the Great Crusade were put to ruin. During this time, specialist cadres of fighters were
sent out from all of the Legions; despatched by their Primarchs to hunt down and eliminate any who would stand against the Emperor or oppose the
Warmaster; to source supplies for their Legion and to sow discord behind enemy lines.

This Shadow War was a bloody and desperate affair with death more certain than survival. Each of the kill teams dispatched knew their chances of
returning home were slim and yet, driven by honourous duty or murderous glee - they stepped into the cauldron of war. Each victory for the Imperium
delayed the Warmaster's march on the Sol system a little longer; every defeat of the Emperor's lackeys one less defender upon the Palace's walls.

NARRATIVE AND SETTING
The Shadow Wars were fought across the length and breadth of the
galaxy, from the ghost stars to the galactic core, forgotten outposts to
ancient Terra itself. The possibilities for where to set your games and
campaigns are near-limitless. You may choose to simply play a game with
your Legion's rules and the terrain you have at hand, but with very little
effort, you can turn a series of random games and missions into a
campaign to battle over salvage in the titan graveyards of Beta-Garmon,
attempt to flee the surface of Isstvan V or infiltrate the death world of
Khymerax to recover a cursed relic.
You don't need to write a complex story for a campaign. The standard
Shadow Wars Campaigns section of Shadow Wars: Armageddon is more
than adequate, but taking time to flesh out the setting for your campaign
can be highly rewarding add a lot of flavour to your games. For example,
if you have access to a Zone Mortalis board such as that available from
Forge World, you could set the entire campaign inside a crippled battle
cruiser, re-naming 'Promethium Caches' to something more appropriate
such as 'Emergency Supplies' or 'Plasma Fuel Rods', as your kill teams
desperately try to reactivate the vessel or its escape pods. Having an idea
of where battles will be fought can help direct you when recruiting a kill
team. A Raven Guard sniper team are a deadly opponent upon many
battlefields, but in the bowels of a space vessel, a mob of Night Lords
armed for close-quarters are definitely going to have an advantage. It may
be that you will be playing against many opponents in a multi-player
event across many different gaming tables. In which case, taking a
balanced kill team is going to ensure they can hold their own in any
situation.
 CREATING A SHADOW WARS KILL TEAM
CREATING A KILL TEAM
Unless otherwise noted here, use the standard rules on page 70 of the
Shadow War: Armageddon rulebook for choosing and recruiting
your kill team.
CHOOSING A KILL TEAM
You have 1,200 points to spend on recruiting and arming your kill team,
within the following guidelines:
Minimum of Three Fighters: A kill team must have at least three
models.
Maximum Number of Fighters: A kill team can have up to 10 models.
Leader: Your kill team must have one leader. Not more. Not less!
Troopers: You can include as many troopers as you can afford.
New Recruits: No more than half of the kill team can be made up of
new recruits.
Specialists: A kill team may take up to two specialists.
SHADOW WAR CAMPAIGNS
Unless otherwise noted here, use the standard rules on page 98 of the
Shadow War: Armageddon rulebook for playing campaigns. The
rules for hazardous environments described later in this expansion
may be used in addition to, or instead of the subplot table.
RECRUITING AND RE-ARMING IN A CAMPAIGN
The standard 100 points available for kill teams to recruit and re-arm in
a campaign may not enough to add new members to your kill team, or to
purchase certain high value items of wargear & equipment. Even
expending a Prometheum Cache will not meet the cost of the highest
value items. Supplementary income sources such as the Scavenger skill or
mission-specific bonuses, where applicable must be used in these cases.
Alternatively, you can gamble on the power of some of these mighty
weapons and take them in your starting team. Don’t leave yourself short-
handed, however!
PROMOTIONS
Rather than just tracking completed missions for recruits, in Age of
Darkness: The Shadow Wars, this is done for all fighters. Certain
equipment options and upgrades may only become accessible for
experienced fighters. In the case of New Recruits, once receiving their
third Mission Completed mark, they are promoted to full fighters as
normal, but their Mission Completed progress is then reset to zero, to be
tracked anew.
DEATH OF A LEADER
If your leader has been slain, follow the normal rules for replacing them
with another member of your kill team. If the fighter who is to become
the new leader possesses any weapons or equipment not normally
available to a leader of their kill team (such as special or heavy weapons),
they must either be transferred to a specialist with capacity to carry them,
or discarded and removed from the team roster.
VETERAN WARGEAR
Only the mightiest warriors; those who have proven themselves time and
again in battle may have the honour of bearing the most advanced, exotic
or rare items of wargear available to their organisations.
A fighter must have completed at least three Mission Completed marks
on the roster and have received at least one Advance before they may take
any veteran weapons or equipment. The leader of a kill team may carry
up to two such items. Specialists and Troopers may only possess one, if
any are available to them. New Recruits may never possess veteran
wargear. Veteran wargear may never be transferred to another fighter and
is always lost if its owner dies or leaves the kill team.
GIANT KILLERS
There are occasions when a newly formed kill team may encounter foes
more experienced and better equipped than themselves. Undertaking
such a dangerous mission should be rewarded, and to win against the
odds may bring great renown.
It is important that both players enjoy their games of Age of Darkness:
The Shadow Wars. Being mercilessly crushed by a more powerful
opponent is not a good experience, and most players would agree that
bringing such destruction down upon a weaker foe brings little
enjoyment or honour. Therefore, it is suggested that players calculate
their team ratings, and use the following table to modify their games to
favour the giant killer:
Team Rating: Calculate your kill teams rating by adding up each fighters
cost, their equipment and any skills and/or characteristic increases they
may have received. Each skill is considered to be worth 25 points, and
each characteristic increase, 15 points:
Fighter Rating = Fighter cost + Equipment cost
+ Skills (25pts) + Statistic increases (15pts)
The team rating includes all fighters that are part of the team, including
those who may not be taking part in a mission for any reason, including
due to rolls on the serious injury or subplot tables.
Giant Killer Benefits: Compare opposing team ratings with your
opponent before deployment and calculate the difference. The team with
the lower score gains the benefits shown in the table below (the benefits
are not cumulative!):
Rating Difference Giant Killer Benefit
000-199 Nothing
200-399 Select an additional fighter for an advance after
the mission and claim 1 additional
Prometheum Cache if you win.
400-599 One Special Operative joins your team for this
mission at no cost. Further, select an additional
fighter for an advance after the mission and
claim 1 additional Prometheum Cache whether
you win or lose.
600-799 Two Special Operatives join your team for this
mission at no cost. Further, select an additional
fighter for an advance after the mission and
claim D3 additional Prometheum Cache
whether you win or lose.
800+ Three Special Operatives join your team for
this mission at no cost. Further, select two
additional fighters for an advance after the
mission and claim D3 additional Prometheum
Cache whether you win or lose.

recon armour has their cost reduced by

instead of 225 points if they were
recruited in recon armour). A model

LEGIONES ASTARTES SPECIAL OPERATIVES
LEGIONES ASTARTES APOTHECARY
M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Apothecary 4” 4 4 4 4 1 4 2 8

A Legion Apothecary bears a sacred burden - to care for the fallen and ensure the Legion's future. For those wounded on the battlefield the apothecary
will provide aid, and for those beyond help, a merciful bolt round to end their suffering. The highest duty an Apothecary holds is to recover the gene-
seed from these fallen warriors, to ensure future generations of Space Marines may be created.

Wargear: A Legiones Astartes Apothecary is equipped with a bolt pistol, chainsword, frag & krak grenades and power armour. The Legiones Astartes
Apothecary may also:
Exchange their chainsword for an augury scanner, volkite charger or a combi-weapon of any variety.

Field Medic: Fighters within 3” of a friendly Apothecary subtract 2 from their recovery phase Injury roles to a minimum of 1 (including injuries
caused by toxic weapons or toxic rounds). In addition, if the Apothecary has not gone out of action at the end of the battle, you can choose to re-roll
any Serious Injury rolls.

LEGIONES ASTARTES SEEKER

M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Seeker 4” 4 4 4 4 1 4 1 8

The Seekers are a specialised force of Space Marines, tasked with the targeting and elimination of key elements of enemy formations. Seekers are
typically exceptionally well trained and equipped, with a range of special issue ammunition and targeting equipment, to ensure they are capable of
answering any threat. Some Legions do not favour the methods of the Seeker, but their effectiveness is undeniable.

Wargear: A Legiones Astartes Seeker is equipped with a bolter with a red-dot sight and kraken, scorpius and tempest rounds in addition to standard
bolt rounds, a bolt pistol, frag & krak grenades and power armour. The Legiones Astartes Seeker may also:
Exchange their bolter with a red-dot sight and kraken, scorpius and tempest rounds for a combi-weapon with the same upgrades.

Marksman: The Legiones Astartes Seeker can re-roll To Hit rolls when making shooting attacks.

Crack Shot: When rolling for an injury caused by a shooting attack, the Legiones Astartes Seeker can re-roll the dice. Note that this only applies for
the shooting attack. Injury rolls made during the recover phase follow all of the normal rules instead.

LEGIONES ASTARTES TERMINATOR

M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Terminator 4” 4 4 4 4 1 4 2 8

Veteran warriors in their own rights, a Terminator is equipped with the most fearsome personal armour available within the Imperium. Many varieties
of this suit were being tested across the Legions, including some developed within particular Legions in isolation. Whatever form they take, a
Terminator represents an apex threat on the battlefield, and are rightly feared and respected in equal measure.

Wargear: A Legiones Astartes Terminator is equipped with a power sword, combi-bolter and Indomitus pattern terminator armour. The Legiones
Astartes Terminator may also:
Exchange their power sword for a power axe, power maul, power fist or single lightning claw.
Exchange their combi-bolter for a volkite charger or a combi-weapon of any variety.
Exchange both their power sword and combi-bolter for a pair of lightning claws.
Exchange their Indomitus pattern terminator armour for either Cataphractii or Tartaros pattern terminator armour.

Killer Reputation: Legiones Astartes Terminators cause fear.

Bounty: If a Legiones Astartes Terminator is down or out of action at the end of a mission, the enemy kill team secures an additional promethium
cache.

Ever the inventor, striving to achieve perfection in his artifice, Ferrus Manus was continually

never be able to refine the Gorgon pattern of Terminator armour to its full potential, but it
nevertheless remains in service amongst some of the Iron Hands survivors. The advanced conversion
fields built into the armour convert incoming kinetic and electromagnetic energy into blinding flashes
of light, which are capable of incapacitating an unwary foe.
Wargear: A Gorgon Terminator has a power axe, combi-bolter and gorgon pattern terminator
armour. The Gorgon Terminator may also:
Exchange their power axe for a power fist or single lightning claw.
Exchange their combi-bolter for a combi-weapon of any variety.

Encased in a customised cataphractii terminator suit capable of restraining them, a Red Butcher does
not enter battle, they are unleashed. The Nails that are implanted in so many of the Legion gradually
reduce a Legionary to only feel sensation from butchery. A Red Butcher has reached the end of that
path, no longer capable of anything but mindless slaughter and brutal savagery.
Wargear: A Red Butcher is equipped with a power axe, combi-bolter and cataphractii pattern
terminator armour. The Red Butcher may also:
Exchange their combi-bolter for a second power axe.
Exchange one power axe for a power fist.
Exchange both their combi-bolter and power axe for a pair of lightning claws.
Killer Reputation: The Red Butcher causes fear.
Ravening Madman: In close combat, neither the Red Butcher, nor opponents of a Red Butcher gain
bonuses to their combat score from fumbles made by either side. The Red Butchers wild attacks are
simply too unpredictably dangerous.
A Red Butcher cannot carry loot, free captives, or otherwise interact with an object, other than to
cut it to pieces. They can also never hide.
Unstoppable Charge: The Red Butcher does not suffer the -1 combat score modifier for charging an
enemy behind an obstacle, nor does he suffer any movement penalty for moving through difficult or
dangerous ground when charging. Impassable terrain remains impassable.
Noisy: The Red Butcher is simply incapable of stealth and subterfuge. At the end of every movement

power armour. In addition, the Headhunter may also:
Exchange their combi-bolter with mono-sight and banestrike bolts for a combi-weapon of any
variety with a mono-sight and banestrike bolts for its bolter component.
Infiltrate: Once both kill teams have been set up, but before a mission begins, the Headhunter may
make two free run moves. He may not do anything during these moves except run, and may not
move within 8” of an enemy.
Precision Shot: The player controlling the Headhunter may choose any model as a target within
range and line of sight with a shooting attack. It does not have to be the nearest model.
Misdirection: After both sides have deployed, you may choose an enemy model. Roll the
scatter dice and reposition the model 2D6" away in that direction. This can move the
model outside its normal deployment zone. If this would place the model on another
level, move it up or down with no further effect. If the model would be moved off the
board or into impassable terrain, the model's controlling player may redeploy the model
anywhere in their deployment zone.
Booby Trapped: After deployment, secretly mark down terrain feature (such as a wood,
or building) that does not begin the game with enemy models deployed on or within it.
At the end of an enemy movement phase where one or more of their fighters has moved
on or through this piece of terrain, reveal that it was booby trapped. The booby traps
inflict a single strength 5 hit causing 1 damage and with a -2 save modifier on each enemy
model within this terrain. Once set off, the booby trap has no further effect. Booby Traps
may not if the Alpha Legion are the Attacker in the Raid or Rescue missions.
Deception: After both sides have deployed, you may redeploy D3 members of your kill
team up to 8" away from their original positions. This may move a fighter outside of their
deployment zone.

THE SHATTERED LEGIONS
A Shattered Legions kill team represents members of several Legions fighting as a single organisation, through either disaster or design. A force of this
type is held together more by the force of a single will, creating a dominating presence to band around. Without this presence, it is likely this banding
of Legions will fracture, unless a new leader rises to the fore.
The most well known groups of Shattered Legions are those formed in the aftermath of the Isstvan V dropsite massacre from the pitiful remains of the
Legions brought to ruin there. Less infamous are those warriors from across the galaxy brought together either through lesser betrayals, plots, defeats or
scheming.
SHATTERED LEGIONS KILL TEAMS
A Shattered Legions kill team is recruited and played using the normal
rules for a Legiones Astartes kill team with the following modifications:
Shattered Legions: The kill team is made up of fighters from at least two
different Legions, but no more than three. When a fighter is recruited,
declare which is their parent Legion. When the team is first formed, at
least 30% (rounded up) of the fighters in the team must come from the
same Legion as the leader.
Legion Special Rules1: A Legion special rule which directly affects their
fighters is always used by members of a Shattered Legion kill team
originating from that Legion. Rules which affect the behaviour of the
entire kill team are only used by the dominant Legion.
DOMINANCE
The Legion from which the kill team leader originates is known as the
Dominant Legion. Fighters not from the Dominant Legion reduce
their Leadership characteristic by -1. It is possible for the Dominant
Legion to change over time through casualties and challenges for
leadership.
Maintaining Dominance: After each battle in which the Shattered
Legions kill team lost the mission, between the Promote and Resupply
steps of the Rewards of Battle, note the number of surviving fighters in
the kill team from each different Legion. If there are fewer fighters
from the Dominant Legion than there are of any other of the Legions
present in the Kill Team, there is a chance that the current leader may
be challenged.
Choose a fighter from amongst the Legion represented in the kill team
with the greatest number of fighters. If two Legions have the same
number, choose a fighter from either Legion. This fighter will
challenge the current leader for control of the kill team. Roll a D6 on
the following table:
D6 Result
1-4 The two fighters settle their dispute in the practice
cages. No armour is worn, and both fighters may
wield a single combat blade only. The first fighter to
go down or out of action loses.
Do not roll for serious injuries, unless one of the
fighters was a World Eater with the Butchers Nails
(Treat captured as Full Recovery and ignore the
‘Hatred’ component of Painful Recovery).
5-6 The challenger remains loyal to the existing
leaderand brings his followers into line. The existing
Leader takes a leadership test. If it is passed, mark
on the challenging fighter's roster 'Sworn to
<name>'. This particular challenger will never
question this leaders' right to command again.
Unique Wargear2: Equipment unique to specific Legions may only be
taken by members of that Legion who would normally be able to take
that particular item of wargear
Veteran Wargear: Shattered Legions fighters may only take veteran
wargear from the Legiones Astartes Weapon and Equipment list and not
that available to specific Legions.
Dwindling supplies: Without the support infrastructure of a Legion to
ensure they are well-equipped, supplies can become scarce and
ammunition precious. Add +1 to the ammo roll for all weapons in a
Shattered Legions kill team.
If the challenger was defeated, the existing leader maintains their
control for now. If the existing team leader is defeated in the challenge,
roll again on the following table:
D6 Result
1 The former leader leaves kill team, never to be seen
again, taking all their equipment with them.
2-6 The former leader steps aside and will never
question the new fighters right to command. Mark
on the former leader's roster 'Sworn to <name>’.
The Dominant Legion becomes that of the new
leader. The former leader retains their wargear, but
their role becomes 'Trooper' and they may no
longer purchase items unavailable to a trooper.
Their leadership is permanently reduced by -1, and
the new leaders increased by +1. The new leader’s
role becomes ‘Leader’. If the new leader was a
specialist, any special or heavy weapons must be
transferred to another specialist with the capacity to
carry them, or be discarded.
After the challenge for leadership of the team is resolved, the team may
continue to resupply as normal.
Shattered Legions rules examples:
1
An Iron Warrior fighter would benefit from their Legion rule granting +1 to
hit for firing within 6" of a friendly fighter, regardless of which Legion that
fighter is from, but a Salamander in the same kill team would not get that +1 to
hit, even if they were firing at a model near an Iron Warrior.
A Shattered Legions kill team consisting of Ultramarines and Imperial Fists
would only suffer from the Imperial Fists Legion rule preventing the team from
voluntarily bottling out if the dominant Legion was Imperial Fists.
2
An Iron Hands specialist may be equipped with a Graviton gun, but a
Salamanders specialist may not, even if part of a kill team led by an Iron Hand.

The different characters of the factions mean that they each have

expecting to be outnumbered or outclassed, the Solar Auxilia favour an
active defence drawing the enemy into enfilading fire, while the
Legiones Astartes are highly skilled at both ranged and close combat.

SOLAR AUXILIA SPECIAL OPERATIVES
TWO AUXILIA MEDICAE ORDERLIES
M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Orderly 4” 3 4 3 3 2 3 2 8

The primary role of a Solar Auxilia medicae orderly is to ensure their regiment remains in a fit state to fight; a galaxy’s worth of alien diseases and
toxins which are harmless to the Legiones Astartes could stop a human-lead compliance in its tracks. Orderlies also accompany forces in the field, to
manage battlefield injuries and keep the force operational, or to administer a final mercy to those too wounded to continue.

Wargear: An Auxilia Medicae Orderly is equipped with a laspistol, and void armour. The Auxilia Medicae Orderly may also:
Exchange their laspistol for a needle pistol.

Field Medic: Fighters within 3” of a friendly Medicae Orderly subtract 2 from their recovery phase Injury roles to a minimum of 1 (including injuries
caused by toxic weapons or toxic rounds). In addition, if at least one Medicae Orderly has not gone out of action at the end of the battle, you can
choose to re-roll any Serious Injury rolls.

AUXILIA OGRYN CHARONITE

M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Ogryn Charonite 6” 4 3 5 5 3 2 3 6

An Ogryn Charonite has been biochemically and cybernetically enhanced to become a living weapon. Utterly lethal and a threat to even Legiones
Astartes and similarly formidable foes, Ogryn Charonites are highly valued as shock troops, but the frenzied behaviour their enhancements and combat
drugs induce require remote control systems to manage them on the battlefield.

Wargear: An Auxilia Ogryn Charonite is equipped with two charonite claws and void armour.

Fear: An Ogryn Charonite causes Fear.

Dead-man’s switch: If an Ogryn Charonite fails a break test and the kill team leader is not down or out of action, they may choose to activate the
switch. If they do, the failed break test is ignored and the Ogryn Charonite does not flee.

Mind Slave: An Ogryn Charonite cannot hide, nor may they pick up loot. The Ogryn Charonite cannot benefit from the Solar Auxilia kill team
special rules.

Brutal Fighters: An Ogryn Charonite must make use their follow up move to engage an enemy model if possible. Otherwise they must use it to move
closer to the closest enemy. They may not use a follow up move to get behind cover or move away from all enemies.

Bounty: If an Auxilia Charonite Ogryn is down or out of action at the end of a mission, the enemy kill team secures an additional promethium
cache.

ENGINSEER ADEPT
M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Enginseer Adept 4” 3 3 3 3 1 3 1 8

Accompanying the Solar Auxilia on specific missions where their technical prowess is of most value, an enginseer adept can also bring an exotic array of
potent weaponry to the field. Their skill at maintaining a kill teams wargear is priceless for those normally isolated from the supply chain for extended
periods of time.

Wargear: A Tech-Priest Enginseer has a laspistol, power axe, servo-arm, melta bombs, augury scanner and power armour. They may also take any one
of the following:
Exchange their augury scanner for a volkite charger or graviton gun.

Soothe Machine Spirit: You can choose to re-roll any failed Ammo rolls for friendly fighters within 6" of a Tech-Priest Enginseer.

Cult Mechanicus: The Enginseer Adept fights alongside the Solar Aucilia, but is not a part of their organisation and therefore does inherit or
contribute to any effects from the Solar Auxilia special rule.
RAPIER CARRIER
M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Auxiliary 4” - - - 7 2 - - -

The Solar Auxilia do not field any significant man-portable heavy weapons systems. Instead, they make extensive use of support equipment such as
the tracked rapier carriers. These versatile platforms can mount a wide array of battlefield ordnance, but the most common variant features a quad
multi-laser. A team able to requisition a rapier carrier even temporarily will enhance its firepower exponentially.

Wargear: The Rapier Carrier is equipped with a quad-linked multi-laser and armour plating, which gives it a 3+ save.

Crewed Artillery: The Rapier Carrier must be crewed by a Support Auxiliary (specialist) from the Solar Auxilia Kill Team. The Support Auxiliary
assigned to the Rapier must begin the game mounted on the carrier and may not choose to dismount during the game unless the Rapier’s armament
runs out of ammunition, the carrier is destroyed, they are charged or they fails a break test. If the crewman is killed, another Support Auxiliary from
the team may crew the Rapier. Whilst mounted on the Rapier Carrier, a Support Auxiliary cannot benefit from the Solar Auxilia kill team special
rules, nor any Shooting skills they may possess.

Weapon System: If the Support Auxilia crewing the Rapier Carrier has been mounted on it since the beginning of their turn, they may
fire the mounted weapon system. The quad multi-lasers are linked together to fire in sequence. Roll all four weapons’ sustained fire dice at once to
calculate the total quantity of shots available this turn. Rather than rolling one dice at a time, roll four at once (or part thereof if there is a
remainder), and make any ammo rolls after each group of dice. If a test is failed, no further groups may be rolled.

Motorised Carriage: When crewed, the Rapier Carrier may move up to 4” in the movement phase, but may not make run or charge moves. The
Rapier’s crew may fire its armament even after moving, but suffers -1 to hit while doing so and may not go on overwatch. The carrier may not climb
ladders or stairs, but may be traverse levels vertically using lifts or ramps. Penalties for moving through difficult or very difficult ground affect the
Rapier as normal.

Shooting at the Rapier: Enemy fighters may choose to target the Rapier Carrier itself, or a mounted Support Auxilia. The crewman counts as being in
cover (-2 to hit) unless being fired at from the rear 90 degree arc. If a shot targeted at the crewman misses, roll a further D6. On a 6, it hits the
carriage instead. The crewman is pinned by enemy fire as normal, but the Rapier ignores pinning when hit. When the Rapier Carrier loses its last
wound it is destroyed. Roll a D6. On a 4+ it explodes and all models within D6" take a Str 4 hit with no save modifier. Do not roll for injury as
though it were a fighter.

Bounty: If the Rapier Carrier is destroyed at the end of a mission, the enemy kill team secures an additional promethium cache.

TECH-PRIEST AUXILIA SPECIAL RULES
The following special rules apply to the
Tech-priest Auxilia kill team:
Techno-Arcana
Select one of the following Techno-Arcana
for the kill team when it is first recruited
and record it on their roster sheet:
Macrotek: The Magos Auxilia and Adepts
may purchase a servo-arm from the Hand-
to-Hand Equipment List. Failed ammo rolls
for friendly models within 6” of the Magos
or an Adept may be re-rolled.
Lachrimallus: The Magos Auxilia and
Adepts will recover with a flesh wound on a
roll of a 1 or a 2 in the recovery phase. Any
Tech-thralls within 6” of the Magos Auxilia
or an Adept will recover with a flesh wound
on a roll of 1 2 or 3.
Reductor: All models in the Tech-priest
auxilia kill team may attempt to recover
from pinning without a friendly fighter being
within 2”. Additionally, models in the team
count terrain as one level of difficulty less
than normal. For example, when moving
through difficult ground it is counted as
open ground. Impassable ground is still
impassable however.
Cybernetica: The range of the Mono-tasked
Team is increased to 12".
Even the lowliest tech adept has knowledge of and access to technologies and enhancements far
beyond the common mortals of the Imperium.
Wargear: An Adept has a combat blade and power armour. In addition, an Adept can be armed with
items chosen from the Tech-priest Auxilia Hand-to-Hand Weapons, Pistols, Special Weapons,
Grenades and Miscellaneous Equipment lists.

with items chosen from the Tech-priest Auxilia Hand-to-Hand Weapons, Basic Weapons,
Ammunition, Grenades, Armour and Miscellaneous Equipment lists.
Feel No Pain: If a fighter with Feel No Pain goes down, they will recover with a flesh wound on the
roll of a 1 or a 2 in the recovery phase.
SERVO-AUTOMATA Specialist Cost to recruit: 70 points
M WS BS S T W I A Ld
4” 3 3 4 5 1 1 1 6
Lower even than a thrall, Servitude is often the punishment for serious crimes. Lobotomised and
mutilated for a specific task, a servo-automata will fulfil their role until destroyed or their biological
components eventually fail.
Wargear: A Servo-automata has a combat blade and flak armour. In addition, a Servo-automata can
be armed with items chosen from the Tech-priest Auxilia Hand-to-Hand Weapons, Special Weapons,
Heavy Weapons and Armour Equipment lists.
Mono-tasked: Tech thralls and Servo-automata get +1 to hit when firing at the same
target as a Magos Auxilia or Adept that is within 6" of them. Servo-automata Servo-
automata greater than 6" away from a Magos Auxilia or Adept at the end of their
movement phase may only perform one of two functions that turn:
• Fire at the nearest visible enemy fighter within 18” regardless of intervening cover.
• Charge an enemy fighter within the Servo-automata’s charge range.
Servitude: Tech thralls and Servo-automata do not gain Mission Complete marks and can
never gain skills of their own from any source.
Fleshspare: Instead of subtracting 1 from the Weapons Skill and Ballistic Skill of Tech
thralls and Servo-automata when they receive a flesh wound, instead subtract 1 from their
Movement and Strength. If a fighter with Movement or Strength 1 suffers a flesh wound
then they critically damaged and are taken out of action.

TECH-PRIEST AUXILIA SPECIAL OPERATIVES
THALLAX
M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Thallax 6” 3 4 5 5 3 2 2 8

Shock troops of the Ordo Reductor, Thallax are hulking cybernetic monstrosities who exhibit a shocking level of enhancement of the original
biological host. Only the most vital organs and nervous system remain, encased within the Lorica Thallax. The bearer is in such agony through this
procedure that all pain and emotion must be surgically removed. Thallaxi still retain some independent thought however, so are far superior to thralls
and other servo=automata.

Wargear: A Thallax is equipped with a lightning gun, jet pack and lorica thallax.

Fear: A Thallax causes Fear.

Iron Will: The fighter can re-roll any failed Leadership tests – break tests, fear tests and so on. If the fighter’s Leadership is being used for a bottle test
then you can re-roll it if it is failed.

Nerves of Steel: The fighter can always test to recover early from pinning, even if there is no friendly fighter within 2".

Sturdy Frame: A fighter with this rule is only pinned by weapons with strength of 4 or higher.

Djinn Sight: The Thallax reduces the penalty applied for shooting at an enemy in cover by -2. So unless additional bonuses apply, both partial and full
cover will be ignored. Additionally, when playing in a mission using Sentries, where the Thallax is in the defending team, it counts its initiative as 5
for the purposes of spotting raiders.

Sacrilege: If a Thallax is out of action at the end of a mission, the tech-priest auxilia team may only exchange a Prometheum Cache for 50 points after
the battle.

URSORAX
M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Ursorax 8” 4 3 5 5 3 2 2 8

One of many variations of Thallax, the Ursorax are unusual in that they were not developed by the Ordo Reductor. Explorator Magos Enabrin Falkan
modified the Thallax template using his own designs to create heavy close assault thralls, capable of crossing a battlefield rapidly. As with the Thallax,
Ursorax exhibit independent thought and tactical expertise, making them a deadly proposition to engage.

Wargear: An Ursorax is equipped with a two lighning claws, volkite incinerator, frag and krak grenades, jump pack and lorica thallax.

Fear: An Ursorax causes Fear.

Iron Will: The fighter can re-roll any failed Leadership tests – break tests, fear tests and so on. If the fighter’s Leadership is being used for a bottle test
then you can re-roll it if it is failed.

Nerves of Steel: The fighter can always test to recover early from pinning, even if there is no friendly fighter within 2".

Sturdy Frame: A fighter with this rule is only pinned by weapons with strength of 4 or higher.

Sacrilege: If a Ursorax is out of action at the end of a mission, the tech-priest auxilia team may only exchange a Prometheum Cache for 50 points after
the battle.
MYRMIDON SECUTOR
M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Myrmidon 4” 4 5 4 5 2 2 2 9

Themselves ordained priests of the Mechanicum, Myrmidons have dedicated themselves solely to the art of destruction. They modify and enhance
themselves for this purpose alone, leaving little in the way or organic components intact. Myrmidons seek out war, drawn to new challenges and
enemies to test themselves against.

Wargear: A Myrmidon Secutor has two maxima bolters, power axe, frag and krak grenades, infra-goggles, power armour and refractor field. They
may also take any one of the following:
Exchange one or both of their maxima bolters for any combination of volkite charger, graviton gun, irad-cleanser or phased plasma fusil.

Fear: A Myrmidon Secutor causes Fear.

Iron Will: The fighter can re-roll any failed Leadership tests – break tests, fear tests and so on. If the fighter’s Leadership is being used for a bottle test
then you can re-roll it if it is failed.

Nerves of Steel: The fighter can always test to recover early from pinning, even if there is no friendly fighter within 2".

Sturdy Frame: A fighter with this rule is only pinned by weapons with strength of 4 or higher.

Fusillade Attack: A fighter with this rule may fire two weapons in the shooting phase, but they must both be targeted at the same model, or initial
model in the case of a weapon with sustained fire.

Lumbering Advance: A fighter with this rule cannot run, nor can they make a follow-up move after close combat.

Bounty: If a Myrmidon Secutor is down or out of action at the end of a mission, the enemy kill team secures an additional D3 promethium caches.

SCYLLAX GUARDIAN-AUTOMATA
M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Scyllax 5” 3 4 4 5 2 3 2 7

Crossing the line of battle and servo-automata, a Scyllax is an advanced personal defence guardian-automata with elements of both biological and
technological intelligences contained within. They tread the line of techno-blasphemy carefully, causing some elements of the Mechanicum to reject
their use. Typically found only amongst the retinues of high-ranking magos, they may be seconded to their lesser Adepts either as a reward, or to
ensure a vital task is completed satisfactorily.

Wargear: A Scyllax guardian-automata has a scyllax bolter, mechadendrite combat array, rad furnace and carapace armour. They may also take any one
of the following:
Exchange their scyllax bolter for an enhanced combat array, rotor cannon, flamer or volkite charger.

Fear: A Scyllax Guardian-automata causes Fear.

Guardian-Servitor Protocols: If the Scyllax guardia-automata is within 12” of a Magos-auxilia or Adept, it is immune to Fear and automatically passes
any break tests it would be required to take. If it is further than 12” away from the Magos-auxilia or another Adept and is not already involved in a
close combat, then it must take a leadership test at the start of the Tech-priest Auxilia movement phase. If the test is failed the Scyllax may take no
action except to make shooting attacks this turn.

Sturdy Frame: A fighter with this rule is only pinned by weapons with strength of 4 or higher.

Nerves of Steel: The fighter can always test to recover early from pinning, even if there is no friendly fighter within 2”.

Sacrilege: If a Scyllax is out of action at the end of a mission, the tech-priest auxilia team may only exchange a Prometheum Cache for 50 points after
the battle.

SISTERS OF SILENCE SILENT JUDGE
M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Silent Judge 5” 4 4 3 3 2 4 2 9

A Silent Judge is both investigator and interrogator. In the interrogation chamber, they are capable of sifting through their subject’s lies for the truth
within, achieved using all manner of exotic tools if required. Equally suited to the battlefield, they sense psychic phenomena and are dedicated to
bringing swift justice to the foes of the Imperium.

Wargear: A Sisters of Silence Silent Judge is equipped with a two bionic eyes, bolt pistol, needle pistol, power sword, frag, krak & psyk-out grenades,
spectra-vestements, a refractor field and vratine armour. The Sisters of Silence Silent Judge may also choose any of the following:
Exchange their power sword for a power fist.
Exchange their bolt pistol for a hand flamer.

Hatred: A Silent Judge hates psykers and daemons.

Instruments of Torment: Unless outnumbered, the Silent Judge uses the toxic round Injury Table (see page 68 of the Shadow War: Armageddon
rulebook) when fighting in hand to hand combat. If an enemy fighter wounded this way becomes captured due to a roll on the Serious Injury table,
the Sisters of Silence Intercession Cadre immediately recieve an additional Prometheum Cache. The enemy team may then attempt to rescue or pay
a ransom the fighter as normal.

M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Pursuer 5” 4 4 3 3 1 4 1 8

Pursuers and their charges are often deployed in dense environments such as sprawling streets and alleyways, where they can track and flush out their
quarry, as well as scout for other hidden dangers. The sight and hearing of a cyber-jackal is accessible to the Pursuer, who is able to prioritise threats
and direct their comrades.

Wargear: A Sister of Silence Pursuer is equipped with a bolt pistol, combat blade, frag, krak & psyk-out grenades and vratine armour. Her Cyber-
jackal has a built-in flamer.
LEGIO CUSTODES CUSTODIAN
M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Custodian 5” 5 5 5 5 2 5 2 9

Superior even to the Legiones Astartes, with greater physical and mental capabilities, a Custodian is second only to the greatest champions of the
Imperium of Man. Where the Astartes operate in great numbers to prosecute war, the Custodes learn to fight singular battles against a greater number
of foes. A single Custodian is capable of defeating vast swathes of foes in a blur of gold and light, cutting down assassins, champions and traitors alike.

Wargear: A Legio Custodes Custodian is equipped with a guardian spear with integral guardian bolter, plasma & krak grenades, a refractor field
and custodian armour.

Loner: The Custodian does not possess the Sisters of Silence Intercession Cadre special rules.

Intervention: Custodians are not deployed at the start of the game. At the end of each Sisters of Silence Intercession Cadre turn, roll a D6 and add the
number of fighters in the Cadre that are currently down or out of action. On the roll of a 7+, all Custodians are immediately deployed anywhere on the
board, at least 8” from enemy fighters. If there is more than one Custodian accompanying the Sisters of Silence Intercession Cadre kill team, place one
Custodian first, then all others within 4” of this Custodian, whilst still at least 8” from any enemy fighters.

Superlative Opponent: A Custodian gains +1 Initiative when fighting close combat against an opponent with a lower weapon skill than theirs. They
may also make a 3” follow-up move.

Preternatural Skill: A Custodian knows all the ‘Combat’ skills, but may only implement one at a time. Before fighting in hand to hand combat each
turn, the Custodian may select which skill to use. They may choose the same or a different one in each round of combat, including against each
opponent in a multiple combat.

Inviolable Psyche: Custodians automatically pass any Fear or Break tests they would be required to take. They may always attempt to escape
pinning and do not require another fighter from their Kill Team to be within 2” to do so.

Killer Reputation: A Legio Custodes Custodian causes fear.

Bounty: If a Legio Custodes Custodian is down or out of action at the end of a mission, the enemy kill team secures an additional D3 promethium
caches.

The skill tables are used to determine what skills your fighters gain as
they advance. Your fighters are restricted to specific skill tables

The different characters of the factions mean that they each have
contrasting areas of strength and weakness. For example, usually

different skills that reflect their different roles to those of troopers in a

The Imperialis Militia are one of the most gargantuan and diverse
organisations in the history of mankind. Countless worlds raise
regiments in support of the Great Crusade and in their own defense,
each bringing with them their unique cultures and histories. As such,
the provenances you select for your team will influence the types of
skills available to your team.

Accompanying the Imperialis Militia on specific missions where their technical prowess is of most value, an enginseer adept can also bring an exotic
array of potent weaponry to the field. Their skill at maintaining a kill teams wargear is priceless for those normally isolated from the supply chain for
extended periods of time.

Wargear: A Tech-Priest Enginseer has a laspistol, power axe, servo-arm, melta bombs, augury scanner and power armour. They may also take any one
of the following:
Exchange their augury scanner for a volkite charger or graviton gun.

Soothe Machine Spirit: You can choose to re-roll any failed Ammo rolls for friendly fighters within 6" of a Tech-Priest Enginseer.

from the kill teams provenances.

The primary role of an Imperialis Auxilia Medicae Orderly is to ensure their regiment remains in a fit state to fight; a galaxy’s worth of alien diseases
and toxins which are harmless to the Legiones Astartes could stop a human-lead compliance in its tracks. Orderlies also accompany forces in the field,
to manage battlefield injuries and keep the force operational, or to administer a final mercy to those too wounded to continue.

Wargear: An Imperialis Auxilia Medicae Orderly is equipped with a laspistol, and flak armour.

Field Medic: Fighters within 3” of a friendly Medicae Orderly subtract 2 from their recovery phase Injury roles to a minimum of 1 (including injuries
caused by toxic weapons or toxic rounds). In addition, if at least one Medicae Orderly has not gone out of action at the end of the battle, you can
choose to re-roll any Serious Injury rolls.

Ogryn Brute 6” 4 2 5 5 3 2 3 6

The Ogryn Brute describes a multitude of possible local variations of vat-forged or bio-servo constructs in addition to the more common abhumans
known as Ogryns. An Ogryn is a slow-witted, but powerful variant of the standard human form, sometimes found on high-gravity worlds, or perhaps
engineered before Old Night. They make excellent manual labourers as well as hardy, if unimaginative warriors.

Wargear: An Ogryn Brute is equipped with a combat blade, frag grenades and flak armour. The Ogryn Brute may also:
Exchange their flak armour for carapace armour.
Take one of: a power maul, ripper gun, lascutter, combat shield or boarding shield.

Fear: An Ogryn Brute causes Fear.

Prodigious Power: Generate a Muscle skill (pg 106 of the Shadow War: Armageddon rule book) for an Ogryn Brute when you muster your kill team.

Bounty: If an Auxilia Ogryn Brute is down or out of action at the end of a mission, the enemy kill team secures an additional promethium cache.
ROGUE PSYKER (KILL TEAMS WITH CULT HORDE OR TAINTED FLESH ONLY)
M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Rogue Psyker 4” 2 2 2 3 2 3 1 8

Miltia forces in the service of the Warmaster frequently became corrupted by the powers of the warp. Some became host to powerful individuals
capable of wielding these powers to great effect on the battlefield. The dangers posed by uncontrolled psykers, recklessly channeling such destructive
energy is one few survivors life to tell of.

Wargear: A Rogue Psyker is equipped with a Tainted Weapon. (They do not have an additional combat blade)

Psyker: Generate a single psychic power from any one discipline for a Rogue Psyker when you muster your kill team. The Rogue Psyker does not
know the associated cantrip.

Possessed: If the Rogue Psyker loses their last wound to Perils of the Warp, do not roll on the injury table. Instead, replace the Rogue Psyker model
with a Lesser Daemon. This model is not under control of either player, and instead the Daemon makes the following actions in both player turns.
The Daemon cannot run, but moves directly towards the nearest fighter of either side, charging if possible.

Outsider: The Rogue Psyker does inherit any effects from the kill team’s provenances.

MUTANT SPAWN (KILL TEAMS WITH CULT HORDE OR TAINTED FLESH ONLY)
M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Mutant Spawn 2D6” 3 0 5 5 3 2 D6+1 10

Many militia forces aligned with the Traitor forces began to exhibit mutation and corruption amongst their masses. The most extreme of these would
become little more than bestial monstrosities of tentacles, teeth and claws. Worse still, were those cults that through ritual and pacts invited such
abominations upon the ‘worthy’ amongst them.

Wargear: A Mutant Spawn has no equipment.

Fear: A Mutant Spawn causes Fear.

Twisted Mutant: Some of the mutant spawn’s characteristics are randomly generated each turn. At the beginning of the movement phase, roll 2D6” to
determine how far it is able to do move that turn. It cannot run and does not double this value when charging. Additionally, if the Mutant Spawn is
engaged in hand to hand combat roll D6+1 to determine how many attacks it is able to make this turn.

Blind Aggression: If after rolling for a Mutant Spawn’s random movement, it has sufficient movement to reach an enemy fighter, it must charge and
engage them in hand-to-hand combat. If more than one fighter can be reached, you may choose which to charge. A Mutant Spawn must use its
follow-up moves to engage an enemy model if possible. Otherwise they must use it to move closer to the nearest enemy they are aware of. They may
not use a follow-up move to get behind cover or move away from all enemies.

Immune to Pain: A Mutant Spawn is not pinned except by High Impact weapons, and suffers a flesh wound on a roll of a 1 or 2 on the injury chart.

Noisy: A Mutant Spawn is simply incapable of stealth and subterfuge. At the end of every movement phase, in missions such as The Raid, they must
test to see if the alarm is raised. Roll 2D6 and add the distance moved (including 0" if they remained stationary). If the result is 10 or more then the
alarm is sounded.

Bounty: If a Mutant Spawn is down or out of action at the end of a mission, the enemy kill team secures an additional promethium cache.

Outsider: The Mutant Spawn does inherit any effects from the kill team’s provenances.
 PROVENANCES OF WAR
When the Imperialis Militia kill team is first recruited, you may select up to two Provenances of War to represent how their history has shaped the
fighters hailing from their world. Note that this may increase the points of each fighter in the team, and modifier their statistics. For example, in a kill
team that are ‘Warrior Elite’ and ‘Alchem-jackers’, all fighters will cost an additional +10 points in total to recruit, and the entire team may be further
‘upgraded’ with Frenzon Injectors. This upgrade will mean all fighters cost another +10 points to recruit, for a total of +20 points. When selecting the
teams skill table, ‘Alchem-jackers’ prevents the use of the Clandestine table.
WARRIOR ELITE…………………………………….. No additional cost
• Fighters with this provenance have +1 Leadership.
• The kill team may be assigned any skill table, unless restricted from
doing so by another provenance.
GENE-CRAFTED………………………………… +10 points per fighter
• Fighters with this provenance have +1 Strength and +1 Initiative.
• Gene-crafted fighters cannot benefit from a Medicae Ordelies ‘Field
Medic’ special rule.
• The kill team may be assigned any skill table, unless restricted from
doing so by another provenance.
CYBER-AUGMETICS………………………………. +5 points per fighter
• Fighters with this provenance may re-roll failed Initiative tests.
• Fighters with this provenance subtract -1” from their Run and
Consolidate moves.
• Bionics may be purchased for a member of the kill team who suffers a
'Painful Recovery' result on the injury table. Fitting bionics costs
100pts. Roll a dice to determine which bionics were required. A roll of
1-2 is an eye, 3-4 is an arm and 5-6 is a leg. The fighter may return to
fight in the next mission instead of spending it recovering.
• This Provenance may not be combined with Gene-Crafted.
• The kill team may be assigned any skill table, unless restricted from
doing so by another provenance.
ALCHEM-JACKERS…………………………………… No additional cost
• Fighters with this provenance may re-roll failed Break tests.
• The entire kill team may be upgraded to have Frenzon Injectors for
+10 points per fighter.
• A kill team with the Alchem-jackers provenance may not be assigned
the Clandestine skill table.
Frenzon Injectors
At the start of their turn, a fighter may either self-administer a dose
of frenzon, or the team leader may trigger a dose to be administered
in any friendly fighter they can draw line of sight to, within 18”.
The second and each subsequent time a frenzon dose is administered
to a particular fighter, they must roll a D6. On a 1, they take a
wound, but do not become pinned.
A fighter under the influence of frenzon will immediately recover
their nerve if broken and gains the Frenzy special rule for the rest of
the turn. If already Frenzied (for example, due to a prior serious
injury), they gain Hatred in addition to this. The fighter cannot
attempt to regain control whilst under the influence of Frenzon. The
effects of the drug last until the beginning of the fighters next turn.
SURVIVORS OF THE DARK AGE ……………… +15 points per fighter
• The save provided by any type of armour worn by a fighter in this
team is improved by +1. The armour retains its name and any rules
associated with the armour still apply.
• The entire kill team may be upgraded to have access to Advanced
Weapons at the costs shown below.
• This provenance may not be combined with Cult Horde or Tainted
Flesh.
• The kill team may be assigned any skill table, unless restricted from
doing so by another provenance.
Advanced Weapons
The following weapons have their strength & ammo roll increased by
+1 (note that this makes the ammo roll worse) at an increased cost per
weapon shown in brackets:
- Laspistols (20 points)
- Las-locks (30 points)
- Lascarbines (30 points),
- Lasrifles (30 points)
- Rotor cannon (85 points)
FERAL WARRIORS…………………………………. +5 points per fighter
• Fighters with this provenance have +1 Weapon Skill.
• Ogryn Brute special operatives also gain +1 Attack.
• The entire kill team may purchase +1 Attack for its fighters at a cost of
+10 points per fighter. Ogryn Brute special operatives always have
this upgrade for no additional cost.
• The kill team must be assigned the Corpus skill table.
ABHUMAN HELOTS …………………………………. No additional cost
• Fighters with this provenance have +1 Toughness.
• Fighters with this provenance are at -1 to their Initiative or Movement.
All fighters in the team have the same characteristic reduced.
• The entire kill team may be fitted with Discipline Collars for
+5 points per fighter.
• The kill team may be assigned any skill table, unless restricted from
doing so by another provenance.
Discipline Collars
A kill team fitted with Discipline Collars may re-roll failed break
and bottle tests as long as the leader is not out of action. If a re-
rolled bottle test is failed, a randomly selected fighter on the team
(not including the leader) immediately goes Out of Action.

different skills that reflect their different roles to those of troopers in a
kill team. New recruits, meanwhile, are still too green to pick up
anything but the basics they need to fight alongside the other members
of their kill team. New recruits cannot gain skills.

The different characters of the factions mean that they each have
contrasting areas of strength and weakness. For example, usually
expecting to be outnumbered or outclassed, the Solar Auxilia favour an
active defence drawing the enemy into enfilading fire, while the
Legiones Astartes are highly skilled at both ranged and close combat.
Similarly, a fighter’s role counts for a great deal in terms of what skills
they are able to learn. Kill team leaders and specialists have access to
When a fighter gains a skill, pick a skill type that is available to them,
roll two dice and consult the relevant table. You can choose one of the
skills that correspond to the numbers rolled – your fighter gains that
skill. If you roll the same number, re-roll one dice until you get another
number. A fighter cannot gain the same skill twice – if the only skills
you roll are skills they already have, re-roll the dice.

 WROUGHT BY WAR
When a Blackshields kill team is first recruited, you may select Wrought by War trait to represent how circumstance or design has turned these
Legionaries into something quite different from their original formations.
DEATH SEEKERS
• A Death Seeker recovers with a flesh wound on a roll of 1 or 2 in the
recovery phase.
• Death Seekers may re-roll failed tests to escape pinning.
• A fighter who is a Death Seeker may not hide.
• A Death Seeker must pass a Leadership test if they wish to end the
movement phase further away from an enemy they are aware of. If
this test is failed, they must move D6” towards the nearest enemy
fighter instead.
ORPHANS OF WAR
• As long as at least half (50%) of the Orphans of War Kill Team are
not down or out of action, the following rules apply:
- All fighters have +1 Leadership.
- Any fighter may re-roll all to hit rolls of a 1 when shooting,
and all attack rolls of a 1 in close combat.
• An Orphan of War fighter that loses a round of close combat and
survives, they must take a break test with a leadership penalty equal to
the number of hits they recieved.
OUTLANDERS
• If all enemy fighters taking part in the game are down or out of action.
when it ends, the Outlanders Kill Team gain an additional
prometheum cache, regardless of whether they won or lost the mission.
• Xenos Deathloks (60 points) and rad grenades (35 points) are available
to the leader of an Outlanders Kill Team.
• Outlanders Kill Teams take bottle tests when a quarter (25%) of their
number are down or out of action.
CHYMERIAE
• Choose one of the following permanent attributes for your kill team:
- Option 1: Fighters have +1 Strength, +1 Toughness, -1 Initiative,
reduce their run and charge moves by 1” and may not make follow-
up moves.
- Option 2: Fighters have +1 Weapon Skill, +1 Ballistic Skill and
-2 Leadership.
- Option 3: Fighters cause Fear, gain +2 to their combat score
when charging instead of +1, add +1” to their run moves and have
-2 Ballistic Skill. They must use their follow-up move to engage
an enemy model if possible and must use it to move closer to the
nearest enemy they are aware of. They may not use a follow-up
moves to get behind cover or to move away from all enemies.
• A Chymeriae Kill Team is assumed to represent a stable, if non-
standard modification of the Legiones Astartes template. Alternatively,
you may wish to field an unstable, perhaps volatile geneseed mutation.
In which case, mark the team as ‘Unstable Chymeriae’ on their roster
sheet. Before deploying kill teams in each game, roll a D3 to determine
which Chymeriae option is in effect.

savage world on which their bloodyhanded Primarch was once cast, it
was Angron himself who revived the use of the Caedere among his
Legion’s ranks. Brutal and difficult to master, the weapons of the Caedere
remain largely the preserve of the Rampagers-World Eaters who have
responded best to the addition of the cranial berserker implants which are
the hallmark of the Legion and its champions.

PLASMA PISTOL
Plasma weapons fire torrents of bright glowing plasma-matter in a
superheated, energised state. When a plasmalast strikes its target there is a
tremendous release of energy and the target blows apart in an almighty
explosion. Though bulky by the standards of most handguns, plasma
pistols are still light enough to be wielded in one hand, and their
destructive capacity more than makes up for the danger they present to
their wielder if fired at maximum capacity.

Do not use the rules for plasma pistols from the Shadow War:
Armageddon rule book. instead, the following rules apply:

Firing on low energy:

Range To Hit Save Ammo

Short Long Short Long Str. Dam. Mod Roll

Firing on maximum power:

Range To Hit Save Ammo

Short Long Short Long Str. Dam. Mod Roll
0-6” 6-12” +1 - 7 1 -3 7+

Energy Levels: You can choose to shoot the plasma pistol on a low
energy setting or maximum power. The profiles for the settings are
different. A plasma pistol fired on maximum power is unreliable and
may explode (see page 48 of the Shadow Wars: Armageddon rulebook).
If you shoot the weapon on maximum power then you cannot shoot
again or use the pistol in close combat until it has recharged. It takes the
firer's entire following turn for the weapon to recharge itself. These
restrictions do not apply on the low energy setting.

XENOS DEATHLOCK
There are many terrible and powerful technologies in the galaxy, wisely

the various blackshield forces at large in the galaxy have begun to take up

Deathlock: If a fighter hit by a Xenos Deathlock goes out of action, all

enemy fighters within 6” and having line of sight to that model must
take a break test at the end of the shooting phase. Each wound inflicted
upon that model by all xenos deathlocks fired at them adds -1 to the
leadership modifier for this roll. Rather than taking multiple leadership
tests if several models are taken out of action, instead add up all
wounding hits and combine them into one modifier.

For example: Two fighters are taken out of action by a volley of deathlock
fire. One took two wounds, the other just one. A fighter witnessing both kills
within 6” of them would take a break test with a -3 leadership modifier.

Lethal Exposure: A xenos deathlock may explode (see page 48 of the

and explodes on the roll of any double rather than just double 1.

CONVERSION BEAM PROJECTOR Sustained Fire: 2 dice

The Conversion beam projector or 'C-beamer' projects a high-intensity
energy beam which causes matter in the target to be converted into
energy. This is a highly destructive process, completely disregarding the
effectiveness of armour as it is itself converted to explosive light. If the
weapon has any disadvantage, it is that the beam requires time to build
up, meaning agile targets may escape its attention.
LASCANNON
The lascannon fires a concentrated stream of laser energy that can punch
through a battle-tank. Fighters hit by such a weapon stand little chance
of survival.

never be fired after moving, regardless of any other special rules or skills.

Beam Dispersion: The conversion beam spreads out, affecting a broader

area the further it impacts from the weapon. When firing at short range,
the conversion beamer uses the small blast marker. When firing at long
range, it uses the large blast marker.

Matter Conversion: A targets mass determines the destructive power of

MULTI-MELTA
The weapon is essentially a more powereful version of the standard
meltgun. It works by means of sub-molecular agitation, literally cooking,
and eventually vaporising, the target and can melt through even the
heaviest armour.
The multi-melta makes no noise when fired, but the superheating of the
air produces a distinctive hiss which becomes a roaring blast when a
living target is hit and its body moisture vaporises explosively.
PLASMA CANNON
The heavy plasma gun, or plasma cannon fires energy shells of
superheated energised matter. When a plasma shell strikes its target, this
energy is released creating an almighty explosion. Plasma weapons are
extremely effective and very dangerous, however they can also be highly
unstable. The user can mitigate this by firing the weapon on a lower
power setting, albeit at a slightly reduced effectiveness.

MULTI-LASER
A highly reliable weapon capable of being mounted on a range of
platforms. Most commonly as a secondary weapon on vehicles, but also
as a main armament on scout walkers and even in a linked-system on
rapier carriers. The multi-laser fires a fully-automatic volley as opposed to
the collimated beam of a lascannon.
Energy Levels: You can choose to shoot the plasma cannon on a low
energy setting or maximum power. The profiles for the settings are
different. A plasma cannon fired on maximum power is unreliable and
may explode (see page 48 of the Shadow Wars: Armageddon rulebook).
If you shoot the weapon on maximum power then you cannot shoot
again until it has recharged. It takes the firer's entire following turn for
the weapon to recharge itself. This restriction does not apply on the low

Using Shroud Bombs: A smoke grenade or shroud bomb releases a

TEMPEST SHELL
An exotic grenade type, the tempest shell is only manufactured to be fired

devices. A highly effective weapon against technologically advanced foes.

Temporal Instability: Instead of rolling to wound normally, fighters
inside the blast area when the bomb detonates must take an initiative
test. If the test is passed, move the model to any position on the edge of
the template so that they are no longer beneath it. They become pinned
as normal. If the test is failed, the model takes D3 wounds and the model
is left under the template. Models inside the stasis field may not move
and must take a further initiative test at the beginning of the next
shooting phase of the side that threw the bomb, if the template is still in
play.
Shooting attacks may not be fired into, out of or through the template.
The field is considered to be 2” in height.
Dangerous Relics:, Yimira class stasis bombs handled carelessly may
explode (see page 48 of the Shadow Wars: Armageddon rulebook).
Additionally, instead of removing the template after resolving damage,

variations of power armour are often highly embellished with ciphers
of strength and durability, while some of wildly differing designs are
far older than the present age and owe their origins to the forgotten
zenith of human technological might.
Armour Save: A fighter wearing artificer armour receives a 2+ armour
save.
BOARDING SHIELD
Boarding shields are large, bulkier versions of the combat shield. These
were favoured by Breaching teams for protection in the confined close
quarter fighting of starship boarding actions and siege attacks.
Ablative Armour: A Boarding shield accords its user +1 to their
armour save (eg a 3+ armour save becomes 2+) against shooting attacks
originating from their front 90 degree arc, which may increase the users
save to beyond 2+ (a roll of a 1 is always a failure). Hits from weapons
with a blast template are considered to originate from the centre of the
marker.
Bulwark: The bearer cannot be pinned by shooting attacks originating
from their front 90 degree arc, except from high-impact weapons. Hits
from weapons with a blast template are considered to originate from the
centre of the marker. Friendly models may also treat the shield bearer as
cover if fired upon. Additionally, if the shield-bearer is charged, turn
them to face their attacker. They count as being behind an obstacle for
the purposes of calculating combat score modifiers.
Cumbersome: The user may never claim the additional attack for being
armed with two weapons in hand-to-hand combat, nor wield a hand-to-
hand combat weapon that is two-handed. A model equipped with a
boarding shield may not carry a heavy weapon nor any item in the same
hand as the shield, where this is applicable (such as the Gunfighter skill).
Lastly, a fighter bearing a boarding shield may not hide.
CARAPACE ARMOUR
See page 67 of the Shadow War: Armageddon rulebook.
COMBAT SHIELD
A combat shield is a wrist-mounted shield or buckler containing a
small field generator which enables it to withstand great amounts of
damage. Although not as powerful as the prototype Legiones Astartes
storm shields beginning to enter service at the time of the Heresy, the
ability to wield a small firearm whilst also using the combat shield made
them invaluable to close assault troops.
Invulnerable Save: A combat shield provides the bearer with a 6+
invulnerable save from shooting attacks and a 5+ Invulnerable save in
hand-to-hand combat.
Buckler: A fighter using a combat shield may parry.
Vambrace-mount: A pistol may be wielded in the same hand as the
combat shield and so the user may count as being armed with two
weapons in hand-to-hand combat. A model equipped a combat shield
may not however, carry any other weapon in that hand, and may not use
hand-to-hand combat weapons that are two-handed, nor any basic,
special or heavy weapons.
CUSTODIAN ARMOUR
A Custodian’s panoply of war is crafted from the same rare auramite alloy
as that of the armour of the Emperor himself. Each suit is unique to the
wearer and incorporates an array of proximity sensors, further enhanced
with the addition of a refractor field.
Armour Save: A fighter wearing custodian armour receives a 2+ armour
save.
Sensoria: A fighter wearing custodian armour will spot hidden enemies
within twice their initiative distance. The wearer also count terrain as
one level of difficulty less than normal. For example, when moving
through difficult ground it is counted as open ground. Impassable
ground is still impassable however.
FLAK ARMOUR
See page 67 of the Shadow War: Armageddon rulebook.
HARDENED ARMOUR
For particulary harzardous environments such as hard vacuum or
particularly toxic atmospheres, some suits of power armour may be
further reinforced to provide better protection to vulnerable seals and
vents.
Void Hardened: The fighter ignores the additional effects for being hit
but not wounded when using the Cold Void environmental effect.
Reinforced Seals: A fighter equipped with hardened armour may re-roll
failed armour saves against weapons which use blast markers and
templates.
Cumbersome: The run and follow-up moves for a fighter equipped with
hardened armour are reduced by 1" (eg a model that would run 8"
instead runs 7"). This is cumulative with any other effects.
LORICA THALLAX
Developed along the same lines as power armour, the Lorica Thallax
requires more than mere dermal-socket integration with its wearer. A
warrior encased in a Lorica Thallax is permanently surgically bonded to
the device, with only vital organs and nervous tissue remaining. An on-
board reactor powers mechanical limbs and integrated weapons systems.
Armour Save: A fighter enclosed in Lorica Thallax receives a 4+ armour
save.
Feel No Pain: A fighter enclosed in Lorica Thallax will recover with a
flesh wound on the roll of a 1 or a 2 in the recovey phase.
Excised Instincts: The fighter may not may Follow Up moves.
PARIAH POWER ARMOUR
Valuing speed over protection, some Blackshields have chosen to strip
back their power armour. By removing the pauldrons, vambraces and
other non-essential components, additional power may be redireceted to
the fibre-bundle muscles in the armours legs.
Armour Save: A fighter wearing pariah power armour receives a 3+
armour save.
Enhanced Motive Power: A fighter wearing pariah power armour gains
+1” movement. In addition, they may fire pistol, basic and special
weapons even after running, but with a -1 to hit modifier.
Stripped Back: A fighter equipped with pariah power armour must
re-roll successful armour saves against weapons which use blast markers
and templates. Wounds caused by a hit of strength 6 or have additional
-1 save modifier against a fighter wearing pariah power armour.
POWER ARMOUR
See page 67 of the Shadow War: Armageddon rulebook.
RECON ARMOUR
Recon armour is formed of light plates of specially modified carapace
armour. Less cumbersome than standard carapace armour, while still
offering the same level of protection, recon armour is ideal for the subtle
infiltration work often carried out by Legiones Astartes Recon marines.
Armour Save: A fighter wearing recon armour receives a 4+ armour save.
Scout: A Space Marine wearing recon armour gains +1” movement. They
may also make a single run move after both sides have been set up, but.
before the mission begins. This extra move is not cumulative with the
Stealth Skill: Infiltration. A model wearing recon armour may not carry a
heavy weapon or use shields of any kind.
STORM SHIELD
Still in experimental stages during the Horus Heresy, few examples of
storm shields were in service, and those that were often functioned on
one of several principles, from advanced materials to uniquely potent
field generators embedded within.
A fighter wielding a storm shield may never claim the additional attack
for being armed with two weapons in the hand-to-hand phase. The user
may not carry a heavy weapon and may not carry any other item in the
same hand as the shield, where this is applicable (such as the Gunfighter
skill).
Invulnerable Save: A fighter bearing a storm shield receives a 3+
invulnerable save in close combat and from their front 90° arc against
shooting attacks.
TERMINATOR ARMOUR
Terminator armour features a powerful support exoskeleton and internal
energy supply, but pays for its unparalleled protection with bulk. A
number of different patterns and unique designs of terminator armour
exist throught the Legions.
Armour Save: A fighter wearing terminator armour receives a 3+ armour
save. However, they take their armour saves with two dice, adding the
scores together.
Unwavering: A fighter wearing terminator armour may not hide.
Indomitus Pattern Terminator Armour
Most commonly found amongst the Imperial Fists, this pattern of
armour is nevertheless widespread throughout the Legions and valued for
it’s balance between mobility and protection.
Invulnerable Save: A fighter wearing terminator armour receives a 5+
invulnerable save.
Unshakeable: A fighter wearing Indomutus pattern terminator cannot be
pinned by shooting attacks, unless they are from high-impact weapons.
They cannot however go on overwatch, and may not make a follow-up
move after close combat.
Cataphractii Pattern Terminator Armour
This pattern of terminator armour features additional armour plating and
field generators, enhancing it’s protection further still. This comes at a
cost of mobility, as the suits generators cannot sustain a high rate of
movement. Even the superhuman astartes appear cumbersome whilst
wearing these suits.
Invulnerable Save: A fighter wearing cataphractii armour receives a 4+
invulnerable save.
Immutable: A fighter wearing cataphractii armour cannot be pinned
by any shooting attacks of any kind. They have a maximum run move
of 6”, and cannot go on overwatch nor make follow-up moves after close
combat.
Tartaros Pattern Terminator Armour
One of the latest developments of terminator armour, the Tartaros
pattern has many similarities to mark IV pattern maximus power armour,
albeit far more resilient.
Invulnerable Save: A fighter wearing tartaros armour receives a 5+
invulnerable save.
Durable: A fighter wearing tartaros armour may go on overwatch and
are pinned by weapons fire as a fighter wearing non-terminator armour
would.
VOID ARMOUR
Solar Auxilia regiments bear armour offering a staggering degree of
environmental and defensive protection, almost comparable to the power
armour of the Legiones Astartes, albeit without the array of autosenses
and power enhancement such an aegis contains. Void armour enables
human soldiers to operate effectively in the harshest of planetary
conditions and the cold of space.
Armour Save: A fighter wearing void armour receives a 4+ armour
save.
Void Hardened: The fighter ignores the additional effects for bring hit
but not wounded, when using the Cold Void environmental effect.
Reinforced Seals: Some suits of void armour feature additional
reinforcement around vulnerable seals. A fighter equipped with
reinforced void armour may re-roll failed armour saves against weapons
which use blast markers and templates.
VRATINE ARMOUR
The vratine armour or the ‘armour of the oath’, is gifted to a Sister-
aspirant once she has has taken her final oaths of duty and spoken the
final words she will ever utter aloud. Similar in many respects to both
standard power armour and Selenite void-mail, the vratine armour is
crafted to fit its wearer and designed to allow maximum reaction time
and freedom of movement.
Armour Save: A fighter wearing vratine armour receives a 3+ armour
save.
AMMUNITION AND GUNSIGHTS
Alternative sights and ammo are specific to an individual weapon, and should be recorded as such on a kill teams roster sheet. Each weapon may have
up to two sights attached to it, however no two sights may be combined except with a telescopic sight. A fighter may choose not to use a sight at all,
and a weapon which has an alternative ammunition type may still fire its standard ammo, unless stated otherwise. If a fighter can make multiple ranged
attacks in the same turn then it must use the same sights and/or ammunition for all the shots that are made.

Upon impact, the warhead of a stasis missile generates a relatively stable

SPECIALISED EQUIPMENT
ARCANE LITANIES
Through protracted study on the currents and mysteries of the Æther
comes a better understanding of manipulate the energies drawn from
this Empyreal realm, and ways to safely divest excess power should the
tides of the warp threaten to overwhelm the mind.
Empyreal Studies: Once per game, the bearer may re-roll a failed psychic
test.
AUGURY SCANNER
An augury scanner detects life signs within the proximity of the user. The
device is small, about the size of a pistol, and can be worn on a belt or
attached to a vambrace. A fighter who carries such a device improves his
chances of spotting enemy intruders.
Hidden Enemy: A model carrying an augury scanner will spot hidden
enemies within three times their Initiative value in inches. For example, a
fighter with Initative 4 will spot hidden enemies within 12".
Intruders: In scenarios which involve sentries and intruders (ie Raid and
Rescue), a sentry with an augury scanner multiplies the roll to calculate
the distance in which they spot intruders by three, and adds +1 to the roll
to spot intruders in cover.
BIONICS
Warriors of the Imperium severely wounded in combat may have access
to vat-grown replacements for damaged limbs and organs, but either a
lack of availability, a need for expedience or even by preference they may
find themselves equipped with a bionic replacement instead.
A fighter may never have more than two of any one type of bionics. If
a fighter receives bionics and rolls a type that they already possess two of,
re-roll until a different result is obtained. For the purposes of a fighter's
rating, one/two bionic eye is worth 50/80 points, bionic arm is worth
60/90 points and bionic leg is 80/120points.
Bionic Eye: A fighter equipped with a bionic eye gains +1 on their to hit
rolls with all shooting attacks. If they have a second eye fitted, they also
count as having photo-contacts.
Bionic Arm: A fighter equipped with a bionic arm gains +1 Strength
when fighting in hand to hand combat or throwing grenades. If they have
a second arm fitted, they also receive +1 Initiative when fighting in hand
to hand combat.
Bionic Leg: A fighter with a bionic leg gains +1 to their Attacks in hand
to hand combat. If the fighter wins combat, they may also make a special
kick attack instead of resolving their normal hits. Note that a fighter may
only make one kick attack and must give up all the hits they would
otherwise have inflicted. A kick is resolved at +2 to the fighters Strength
and inflicts D3 damage. If they have a second leg fitted, the fighter gains
+1" to their Run and Charge moves.
BURNING LORE
The books, parchments and twisted runes that hang from or are carved
into the armour of this warrior tell of the dreadful knowledge gained and
pacts made with the neverborn beings of the Warp. Careless, or
unknowing of the ultimate price to pay for such power, the warrior
nevertheless now wields powers beyond the physical world.
Psyker: Upon gaining the Burning Lore, the fighter becomes a psyker
and gains a single psychic power from either the lores of Biomancy or
Telepathy, following all the psychic power rules, including those to gain
further powers through advances. They do not and may not learn the
cantrip associated with their chosen psychic discipline.
BUTCHERS NAILS
Originally used to enhance the combat abilities of gladiatorial slaves,
Butchers nails are cybernetic cortical implants that date back to the Dark
Age of Technology. These implants degrade the emotional centers of the
brain, till the recipient is incapable of feeling anything outside of the joy
of slaughter, ultimately rendering them a nigh-uncontrollable killing
machine.
Lost to the Nails: A fighter fitted with the butchers nails has the frenzy
special rule. When rolling to attempt to regain control, the user suffers -1
to their Leadership value for each turn they have been frenzied. In most
cases this will equal the turn number, unless they previously gained
control for one or more turns.
Each time a fighter fitted with the butchers nails takes an enemy out of
action in close combat, they gain +1 attack for the rest of the game, or
until they lose Frenzy.
A fighter with the Butchers Nails may re-roll head wounds on the serious
injury table, but must accept the second result. The butchers nails may
never be removed from a fighter for any reason.
CAMO GEAR
See page 69 of the Shadow War: Armageddon rulebook.
CAMELEOLINE CLOAK
Most commonly used by stealth specialists, chameleoline can be woven
into fabrics, or even coated onto armour plate. It refracts light around its
surface, making the object it is concealing appear to blend in with the
surrounding environment.
Cameleoline: Ranged weapons suffer -1 to hit when firing at the wearer,
if the they are further than 8” away.
CLIP HARNESS
See page 69 of the Shadow War: Armageddon rulebook.
COGNIS-SIGNUM
Featuring advanced auspex devices cogitator-assisted targeting and
communication arrays, a cognis-signum integrated into a suit of power
armour enables it’s wearer to co-ordinate battlefield assets with lethal
efficiency.
Target-designation: A fighter with a Cognis-signum counts as being
equipped with an augury scanner. Further, instead of firing a weapon
themselves, they may select an enemy fighter within 24" and their line of
sight. Fighters firing at this model gain +1 to hit this turn.
CONDENSORS
Thermally shielded, these modifications are typically seen on recon teams
who seek to reduce the heat emitted from the backpacks of Astartes
power armour.
Thermal Damping: In scenarios which involve sentries and intruders
(ie Raid and Rescue), if all enemy fighters within range of a sentry's
spotting distance are equipped with condensors, subtract -1 from their
roll to spot the intruders.
DEATH MASK
Sanguinius loathed the need for the existence of Destroyers in his Legion,
but nevertheless saw that they were a necessity. All Blood Angels would
eventually rotate through the destroyer companies, so that none of the
Sons Of Baal were free from the stains it left on the soul. Donning masks
and forsaking their identities for the duration of this service, these
warriors became the literal manifestation of Angels of Death turning the
usually benevolent Blood Angels into cold, clinical killers.
Grim Duty: A fighter wearing a death mask may re-roll failed fear and
break tests. Friendly fighters within 6” who are not wearing a death mask
suffer a -1 penalty to their leadership.
DRAKESCALE CLOAK
A trophy taken by the wearer in a hunt against the deadly drakes
inhabiting Nocturne’s volcanos. The skins of such beasts are highly
resistant to the unbearable heat of their volcanic lairs, and impart this
protection to their new bearers.
Born in Fire: The wearer of the cloak has a 6+ Invulnerable save. Heat
based weapons (including but not limited to: flamer, melta, plasma and
volkite weapons) halve their strength when used against the wearer.
FORCE WEAPONS
Force weapons take many forms, but woven into them all is a powerful
device called a Psi-Convector, which focusses the bearers psychic powers
and acts as a conduit between the wielder’s mind and the body of his
opponent.
A force weapon uses the same profile and rules as a power weapon of
same type – ie power sword, power axe or power maul (in the form of a
staff). In addition, the wielder may employ the following psychic power
instead of their own:
Force: The wielder of a force weapon knows the 'Force' psychic power in
addition to any other powers they know. This power is cast at the
beginning of their movement phase. If successfully cast, unsaved wounds
dealt by the force weapon cause a wounded fighter to automatically go
out of action, rather than making an injury roll, regardless of how many
remaining wounds the victim has.
Anathema: If Force is successfully cast, failed to wound rolls against
daemons may be re-rolled.
INFRA-GOGGLES
These take the form of a pair of goggles or visor which allows a fighter to
see the thermal images of enemy fighters in the Underhive. This enables
the wearer to see any foes who are hiding or who are partially concealed
behind cover.
A fighter wearing infra-goggles will spot a hidden enemy at double the
normal distance - ie, his Initiative x2 rather than his Initiative distance in.
inches. In scenarios which involve sentries and intruders (ie Raid and
Rescue) goggles double the distance at which sentries will spot intruders
in partial or complete cover.
JET PACK
Whilst lacking the brute force of a jump pack, the multiple small rocket
motors of a jet pack allow the wearer to make swift bounds across the
battlefield, whilst still maintaining a stable firing platform.
A fighter with a jet pack can fire even if they run in their movement
phase. Additionally, instead of firing in the shooting phase, a fighter with
a jet pack may instead interrupt their movement to fire, and complete
their move after resolving any shots.
A fighter with a jet pack treats all terrain as open ground for the purposes
of movement, but may not interrupt or end their move on impassable
terrain.
JUMP PACK
Some Legionaries are equipped with jump packs to leap across the
battlefield in soaring bounds. Such wargear is cumbersome, resource
intensive and whilst undoubtedly effective, unsuitable for most Kill Team
operations.
A fighter with a jump pack treats all terrain as open ground for the
purposes of movement, but can’t end their move on impassable terrain.
Hammer of Wrath: If a fighter is charged by a model with this special
rule they must take an Initiative test. If the test is passed, they avoid the
blow and are unaffected. If the test is failed, the charging model will gain
+1 to their combat resolution this turn. If a fighter fails this test whilst
within 1" of an edge, they also fall.
LEGION VEXILLA
Each squad within a Legion will have a vexilla displaying iconography
unitque to that unit, for the warriors fighting beneath it to identify their
fellows and rally around. It may take the form of a ragged banner, bloody
trophy rack or gleaming symbol, but all are borne with pride and bring
solidarity to those beneath it.
Squad Vexilla: Only a single Trooper in a kill team may be equipped
with a Legion Vexilla. As long as a fighter bearing a Legion Vexilla is not
down or out of action, the kill team may re-roll failed bottle tests.
Unwavering: A fighter bearing a Legion Vexilla may not hide.
MACHINATOR ARRAY
A more advanced development of the servo-arm in use by the majority of

users nervous system.
Range Strength Damage Save Mod.
Close Combat 5 1 -2
Cybernetic Integration: The fighter gains +1 Toughness when equipped
with the machinator array. Once equipped however, it may never be
removed, lost or transferred in any way.
Extra Weapon: The fighter can use the machinator array in addition to
any other weapons they use in hand-to-hand combat. When they do so,
they roll an extra Attack dice. However, only one hit in each hand-to-
hand phase can be caused by the machinator array.
Weaponised Tools: The machinator array also includes a hand flamer
and inferno pistol. The bearer may elect to fire one of these weapons in
addition to any other they may be carrying, or fire both of these integral
weapons instead of using one of their own. All such shots must be fired at
the same target, unless the bearer has a skill which would enable them to
do otherwise.
MASTER-CRAFTED WEAPONS
Within the armouries of the legions are a vast array of weapons taken
from a myriad forges, races, and cultures. However, there are some
weapons within these arsenals that stand above their kin. These weapons
are masterpieces of the art of death, forged with the finest materials and
by the hand of artisans. These rarified examples are more balanced, more
beautiful, and more deadly than the more mundane arms commonly
carried by the soldiers of the Great Crusade and latterly the Heresy.
Master-Crafting a Ranged Weapon: When firing the weapon, you may
re-roll a single To Hit roll with the weapon in the shooting phase. If the
weapon is of a kind that may explode (see pg 48 of the SW:A rule book),
you may also re-roll one of the dice when making an ammo roll if you
roll a double 1.
Master-Crafting a Close Combat Weapon: When rolling attack dice in
close combat, you may re-roll a single result before parries are made, but
must accept the second roll. This dice cannot be further re-rolled by a
parry.
MECHANICUM PROTECTIVA
A catch-all term for a wide range of protective fields and shields used and
often developed by a magos to protect themselves on the battlefield.
Invulnerable Save: The Mechanicum Protective gives the bearer a 4+
invulnerable save.
PHOTO-CONTACTS / PHOTO-VISOR
A photo-visor is a special visor that enhances vision in poor light
conditions. It also incorporates a photochromatic layer that protects the
wearer against sudden bright flashes.
Do not use the rules for photo-visors from the Shadow War: Armageddon
rule book. instead, the following rules apply:
Flash: A fighter wearing a photo-visor may re-roll a failed Initiative test
to avoid the effects of a Photon Flash flare.
Smoke: A fighter wearing photo-contacts/a photo-visor is largely
unaffected by smoke such as that produced by a shroud bomb. They may
move freely through it, including running and charging, and suffer no
penalties to their weapon skill if fighting a close combat against an
opponent in smoke. If they wish to shoot into or through the smoke,
they suffer a a -1 to hit penalty when doing so.
RAD FURNACE
The fighters body contains a powerful electro-thermic reactor to drive
their mechanical components and power their weapons. Such reactors are
known for dangerous radiation leaks, which typically pose little harm for
their flesh-sparse frames, but can be quite deadly to those nearby.
Rad Field: A model with a rad furnace reduces the toughness of all
fighters in base contact with them by -1, including members of their own
kill team.
Fighters also with equipped with a rad furnace are not affected by this.
Rad Resistance: Successful rolls to wound rolls caused by toxic or rad-
based weaponry against a fighter with a rad furnace must be re-rolled.
REFRACTOR FIELD
A compact field generator often fashioned as an emblem worn across the
bearers chest. A refractor field projects a protective energy field around
the user, which will attempt to disperse the energy of incoming kinetic
and energy impacts over the fields total area.
Invulnerable Save: A fighter equipped with a refractor field receives a 5+
invulnerable save.
REVENANT ALCHEMISTRY
Using forbidden black alchemistry or dark heretek knowledge, the dead
themselves can be reclaimed into viable tech-thralls. Such beings are
merely a shadow of their former selves, moreso even than they otherwise
would be after conversion to a tech-thrall, but it is hard to deny the
effectiveness of such soldiers.
The fighter has Hatred for all fighters on the opposing kill team. They
may re-roll Injury rolls in the Recovery phase, but may never run greater
than 6".
RITE OF PURE THOUGHT
Invasive cranial surgery has been used to destroy the emotional and
instinctive centers of the brain. The resulting soldier is utterly
unwavering, but even more lumbering and unreactive.
The fighter automatically passes break, fear and terror tests, but may not
make follow-up moves or go on Overwatch.

VOIDSHEEN CLOAK
Typically worn by Oblivion Knights, voidsheen cloaks are made from a
micro-vitreous mesh designed to diffract and absorb energy. Those worn
by higher ranking Sisters also include refractor fields to further reinforce
their defensive properties.

Invulnerable Save: A voidsheen cloak provides its wearer with a 6+

invulnerable save, increasing to 4+ against weapons which use blast
markers or templates.

Enhanced Voidsheen Cloak: An enhanced voidsheen cloak provides its

wearer with an invulnerable save of 4+, increasing to 3+ against weapons
which use blast markers or templates.
COMPANIONS AND FAMILIARS
Across the Imperium are all manner of beasts, automata and more esoteric entities that can be found in the company of notable individuals. From
benign scribe skulls and disturbing cherubim, to dangerous cyber-mastifs and utterly lethal Fenrisian wolves, these beings are almost always bonded to
their master in some way and must remain close to them on the battlefield.

Companions and Familiars are not counted towards the number of models in the kill team for the purposes of mission special rules and bottle tests.
Nor can they benefit from any special rules associated with their master's kill team or fighters that are part of it (for example, an Iron Hands cyber-
familiar does not benefit from reduced save modifers against shooting attacks, and cannot take advantage of an Apothecaries Field Medic special rule).
They are always deployed and/or arrive as reinforcements with their master. If a companion or familiar is out of action at the end of a mission, roll a
D6. On a roll of a 1 they does not survive and are removed from the kill team roster. On a 2-3 they are severely wounded and must miss the next
mission and on a 4-6, they make a full recovery.

Bespoke Artifice: A fighter may only possess one cyber-familiar. Select
one of the following configurations when a cyber-familiar is added to a
fighters equipment. It cannot be changed.
• Gun-drone: Hand flamer and combat blade, or bolt pistol/volkite
serpenta with a red-dot sight.

PSYCHIC POWERS
The powers gifted to those rare individuals by the Immaterium are varied
and powerful, but all come with a risk. To those unable to shield their
souls, they are a light to the predators of the Warp and the use of these
powers can make them a conduit for the entities that reside there. The
Great Crusade sought to control humanity’s development as a psychic
race through the expansion of the Imperial Truth and in the Legions
with the Librarius Project. The Age of Darkness put an end to this;
where the veil is thin, Daemons walk the earth and those with powers
use them openly in the Warmaster’s name; or at the behest of the
Sigilitte.
PSYKERS
Some fighters may have the ‘Psyker’ special rule. Only fighters with this
special rule may have any psychic powers. Having the Psyker special rule
does not mean the fighter automatically knows any powers to begin with.
The rules giving the fighter the ‘Psyker’ special rule will explain which, if
any they have access to.
SELECTING PSYCHIC POWERS
A fighter with the ‘Psyker’ special rule who gains a psychic power will roll
for that power before being deployed in their first mission. These
power(s) are rolled for randomly on a D3 within their selected
discipline/cult before deploying in their first mission and they retain this
same power indefinitely. When a fighter with the psyker rule, with or
without powers is chosen for an advance, a roll of 2 or 12 on the advance
BIOMANCY - PAVONI CULT
Cantrip: The psyker adds +1" to their Run and Follow-up moves.
1-2: Inflict Pain
The physical forms of their enemy may be twisted by the pavoni to
debilitate or kill.
Cast at the beginning of your shooting phase instead of firing a
weapon.
Select an enemy fighter within line of sight and within 24". This
fighter must pass a toughness test or immediately suffer a flesh
wound and becomes pinned.
3-4: Healing Aura
The Pavoni arts allow its adepts to knit flesh and mend bone.
Cast at the beginning of your recovery phase.
The psyker may attempt to use this power on a friendly fighter who
is down and in base contact with them in the recovery phase. If the
psychic test is passed, the model recovers as though they had rolled a
flesh wound on the recovery table. If the test is failed, they may roll
to recover as normal.
5-6: Warp Run
The powers of the Immaterium flow into the Psyker heightening their
speed to supernatural levels.
Cast at the beginning of your movement phase.
The Psyker may triple their movement value for running or charging

table means they may choose to roll for an additional power from within
their discipline/cult list (or their first, if they did not have one to begin
with), instead of taking the normal result. Re-roll if you roll for a power
the fighter already has.
CASTING POWERS AND PERILS OF THE WARP
Each game turn, a figher that is also a psyker may cast a single psychic
power, regardless of how many they know. To cast a psychic power, a
fighter must pass a Leadership test. A fighter who is down may not
attempt to cast a power and a fighter who is pinned adds +2 to the dice
roll. Powers that are used instead of firing a weapon may not be cast after
the fighter has run.
If a double 6 is rolled when attempting to cast a power, the psyker suffers
‘Perils of the Warp’ and takes an immediate wound with no armour save
possible. Additionally, if the psyker uses a cantrip, this stops working for
the remainder of the game.
CANTRIPS
Some psykers will employ a cantrip alongside their standard powers. A
Cantrip is a low-level power which requires time to prepare, but is easily
maintained by the wielder with minimal concentration. These powers
begin the game activated and remain in play for the entire game, unless
stated otherwise, and do not require a psychic test to employ. If a cantrip
stops working, it cannot be cast again until the next mission.
DIVINATION - CORVIDAE CULT
Cantrip: The psyker may re-roll 1's to hit if they did not move in the
movement phase.
1-2: Forewarning
The prophetic powers of the psyker allow him to walk through a hail of
fire as though they could step between raindrops.
Cast at the beginning of your movement phase.
The psyker gains a 4+ invulnerable save against shooting attacks until
the beginning of their next turn.
3-4: Future Sight
The psyker has gleaned a near perfect vision of the near future.
Cast at the beginning of the shooting phase.
The first shot fired by the psyker this turn benefits from +2 to hit.
5-6: Misfortune
The strings of fate are pulled upon by the psyker, spelling doom for their
unfortunate enemies.
Cast at the beginning of your shooting phase.
Select a single enemy model within line of sight and 24". All rolls to
hit of a 6 against that model during this turn, have an additional -2
to the weapons armour save modifier.
TELEKINESIS - RAPTORA CULT
Cantrip: Any time the psyker is hit by a shooting attack, before
rolling to wound, they first take a leadership test, subtracting the
armour save modifier of the attack from their leadership vaue. If the
test is passed, the model suffers no damage.
1-2: Enhanced Kine Shield
The Psyker is able to extend their kine shield over a nearby ally.
Cast at the beginning of the enemy shooting phase.
PYROMANCY - PYRAE CULT
Cantrip: The psyker has the Hammer of Wrath special rule (see
jump pack - note they do not gain a jump pack!).
1-2: Wall of Fire
The Psyker summons a blazing barrier of flame from the depths of the
empyrean to impede their enemies.
Cast at the beginning of your shooting phase instead of firing a
weapon.

Select a friendly model within 2" of the psyker. Both the Psyker and
the chosen model may use the telekinesis cantrip this turn.
3-4: Shatterstorm
The psyker hurls a cloud of razor sharp debris at the enemy.
Cast at the beginning of the shooting phase instead of firing a
weapon.
Place a marker up to 6" across and 1" deep anywhere within 12" of
the psyker. It is placed at ground level, but it affects all levels above it
as the smoke and flames rise upwards. The template may not be
placed over any models or other templates, and may not cross
through obstacles and remains in play until the beginning of the
psykers next turn. Models shooting through the wall of fire do so at
-2 to hit, and if any should choose to move through it, they take a

reduces the wearers initiative by -1.
5-6: Wreathed in Flame
The psyker bursts into ethereal fire, his body and wargear unaffected,
while anything else nearby is incinerated.
Cast at the beginning of your movement phase.
This power remains in effect until the start of your next turn. The
fighter ignores armour save modifiers and halves the strength of
flamer and melta type weapons aimed at them. Additionally, they
gain a 4+ invulnerable save against all other attacks. In close combat,
their opponents are hit at the beginning of each round of combat by
an automatic Str4 -2 save modifier hit and if the pyromancer makes
his save in close combat, the enemy weapon is rendered unusable for
the rest of the game if it is a close combat weapon.
TELEPATHY - ATHANEAN CULT
Cantrip: The psyker causes Fear (and is therefore also immune to
Fear).

The Psyker rips the darkest fears from the hearts of their foes and forces
them to relive them.

Cast at any time during your turn.

All enemy models within 12" of the psyker must immediately take a
Break Test. Models immune to Fear or Break Tests are unaffected.

3-4: Mind War

The Psyker hurls a psychic assault against the mind of the enemy.

Cast at the beginning of your shooting phase instead of firing a

weapon.

Select a single enemy fighter within 24". Both they and the psyker
roll 2d6 and add their. Leadership value. If the psyker wins, the
enemy suffers a single wound with no save modifier possible. If the
roll is a tie or the enemy wins, there is no effect.

5-6: Control Mind

An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded.

Cast at the beginning of the enemy turn.

Select a single enemy fighter within 24". They must pass a

Leadership test with a penalty of -1, increasing to a -2 modifier if the
casters Leadership value is higher than theirs. If the test is passed,
there is no effect. If it is failed, then they are controlled by the
psyker’s controlling player for the rest of the turn. Note that they
may not act in any way which would harm themselves (ie walk of a
ledge or into impassable terrain, etc). Note that if they shoot at a
friendly model, they do so with an additional -1 to hit.

2 - Temporal Flux
The warp tears at reality, or ancient Dark Age weaponry has ravaged
space-time at this site. The universe churns and twists creating dangerous
vortices and pockets of unstable time.
Roll a dice at the beginning of each game turn: On a 1-2 time passes at
it's normal rate. On a 3-4 time slows to a near halt, causing all movement
to be halved and weapons suffer -2 to hit. On a 5-6, time leaps forward
in sudden rushes, doubling all movement and reducing to hit penalties by
cover by -1 (so a -2 penalty to hit to would become -1). All weapons gain
a sustained fire dice, even when choosing to fire a single shot. A heavy
bolter for example would fire using 3 sustained fire dice or 1 dice when
firing a single shot. Blast and template weapons do not gain a sustained
fire dice, but must re-roll successful ammo rolls.
3 - Daemonic Incursion
The veil between the warp and material universe thins at this point, or
the kill teams battle aboard a vessel with failing gellar fields. Entities
swarm near the surface of reality, feeding on the bloodshed in an effort
to break through.
At the end of each turn, roll a dice and add the number of models taken
out of action so far in the game. On the roll of 7+, an incursion occurs.
Starting with the player who's turn it is, take turns placing 2D3 Minor
Daemons (see Appendix 1) anywhere on the board at least 8” away from
any fighter. The Daemons move in both player turns but cannot run,
moving directly towards the nearest fighter of either side, charging if
possible. Do not roll whilst Daemons are on the battlefield.
Unstable: Once 25% of the daemonic incursion are destroyed, the
remainder will take bottle tests as though they were a kill team. If they
fail this test, remove all the chaos daemons from the table immediately.
4 - Lightning Storm
Natural weather or warp-touched bolts of purple agony, or a massive
static charge running through a disabled vessel. Whatever their cause,
the battlefield is lashed by arcing electrical discharges, indiscriminately
burning those unlucky enough to be in their path.
At the beginning of each turn, roll a dice. On a 1, a bolt of electrical
energy burns across the battlefield. Randomly select a model from each
kill team and draw a straight line between them. Any other models
within 1/2" of this line are also struck. Models struck take D6 Strength 6
hits causing 1 damage each.
5 - Pitch Darkness
Perhaps the kill teams battle upon the dark side of a distant world,
through a raging dust storm or in the depths of an enormous cavern.
Regardless here, there is no light.
Visibilty is reduced to 8" unless a fighter is using a photo-visor, infra-red
sight or other night-vision ability. In which case their range is unaffected.
Spotting fighters is difficult however enhanced a fighters vision may be,
and so no model may use the Shooting Skills: Fast Shot or Marksman.
6 - Cold Void
Whatever cold dead rock or shattered vessel the kill teams face each other
upon has no atmosphere.
All fighters will be equipped with sealed suits or armour in order to
survive in this type of environment. Therefore, any model which would
normally have a save of 5+ or worse, counts as having a 4+ save instead.
Whenever a model suffers a hit, but isn't wounded, roll a dice. On a 1,
the model takes an automatic flesh wound as they are briefly exposed to
hard vacuum before their armour self-heals.
8 - High Winds
Colossal storms wrack this world, or perhaps with the power down, the
atmosphere of this vessel vents uncontrollably into space, whilst kill
teams battle for survival.
Walking atop structures is especially hazardous in these conditions. Any
model on a gantry, walkway or the top level of a structure must roll equal
to or underneath their Strength at the beginning of each of their turns. If
they roll higher, the model becomes pinned and may fall if they are
within 1" of an edge.
9 - Treacherous Footing
The toxic efluvia of this world or a sudden flooding of an area of the
facility with some vile substance has left exposed surfaces dangerously
greasy. Moving without caution could easily result in a fall.
Any fighter that runs or charges in their movement phase must take an
Initaitive test after completing their movement. If the test is passed, then
they suffer no ill effect. If the test is failed and the model had run in
the movement phase, they become pinned. If the test is failed and the
model had Charged, they do not gain +1 combat resolution for charging,
and instead suffer a -1 penalty as though fighting an enemy on higher
ground. If a fighter fails this test whilst within 1" of an edge, they may
fall.
10 - Blinding Light
Either on a world orbiting a blue giant sun or on a facility equipped with
colossal floodlights, glaring illumination blinds from one direction.
Randomly determine which board edge is brightly lit. Models whose line
of sight faces this board edge suffer an additional -1 to hit when shooting.
If both players agree, you may roll to see if the light source moves during
the game, perhaps the battlefield is a spinning asteroid, void station or
moving platform on the surface of a planet. If this rule is used, roll a D6
at the beginning of each game turn. On a 1-2, the light source moves
clockwise to the next board edge. On a 3-4 it remains where it is and on
a 5-6 it moves counter-clockwise to the next board edge.
11 - Deadly Flora
This battlefield is overgrown with writhing vines and bloated fungal
blooms, providing ample, if hazardous cover.
Penalties to hit a target in cover are improved by -1 due to thick plant
growth covering the battlefield (so a fighter in partial cover would be at
-2 to hit against shooting instead of -1). However, if a model is not in
close combat and does not move during their turn, they must take an
initiative test at the end of their recovery phase. If the test is passed, they
avoid the advances of the deadly flora here. If the test is failed, they are
set upon and must roll on the injury table immediately.
12 - Tectonic Instability
This entire world or structure is tearing itself apart following some great
cataclysm. To linger here is death.
After deployment and again at the end of the game, roll a dice for each
model on the board. On a 1 they are hit by falling debris or plunge into a
chasm opening beneath their feet. The model takes a Strength 5 hit at -3
Save Modifier causing 1 damage.
 APPENDIX II: SPECIAL MISSIONS
This section features non-standard missions for your games of Age of Darkness: The Shadow Wars. They may be particularly deadly, rewarding, or
include more than two teams fighting at the same time. The winner of a roll-off (6 on the Mission table) may choose to play a special mission instead
of one of those from the Shadow War: Armageddon rulebook. In scenarios with more than two kill teams, use the highest team rating from amongst all
participating teams to calculate any underdog benefits each team may recieve.

RUSH
A vital objective has been uncovered in an unstable area, and word has
reached a number of active kill teams. Whoever gains control of this
area is sure to be richly rewarded or bring much honour to their
faction – whichever is more valuable to them.
In the Rush mission, multiple kill teams converge on the same
objective simultaneously, desperate to beat their rivals to such a
valuable prize.
TERRAIN
Each player takes it in turns to place a piece of terrain, either a
structure or a connecting walkway, until there is no more terrain to
place or the players agree that there is enough. It is suggested that the
terrain is set up within an area of 4' by 4', or slightly smaller, so that
the kill teams start off a reasonable distance apart.
RUSH OBJECTIVE
Once you have set up terrain, the Prometheum Tank counter is placed
at the centre of the battlefield to represent the valuable objective. If
there is impassable terrain at the centre of the board, place the counter
as close to the centre as possible.
KILL TEAM DEPLOYMENT
Each player rolls a dice. The low scorer chooses which battlefield edge
they wish to set up on, and places all of their kill team fighters within
8" of that edge and at least 12" away from the adjoining sides. The
second lowest scorer then deploys in the same way on the table edge to
the left of the kill team already deployed, and so on until all players
have deployed their kill teams.
STARTING THE GAME
The players roll off. The highest scoring player takes the first turn. The
second highest scoring player takes the second turn and so on until all
players are assigned a place in the turn order. In the case of a tie, those
players roll off to determine their order.
ENDING THE GAME
The fighter continues until one kill team has driven off all others and
can claim the objective for themselves.
If a kill team fails a bottle test, or a player volunteers to bottle out they
take no further part in the battle. When there are fighters from only
one kill team remaining on the battlefield, that team wins.

Fighters within 8” of this counter may re-roll failed break, fear and
terror tests and subtract 1 from result of the dice when rolling to
recover from pinning.
DEADLY GROUND
At least one roll must be made on the Environmental Effects table in
this mission. In a campaign, players may agree to one or more specific
environmental effects instead of rolling randomly. In addition, The
Monster Roll rules from the Scavengers mission are also used.
SPECIAL
Due to the value of the objective in this mission, the winning
team receives an additional three promethium caches in
addition to the normal roll (D3+3). The losing teams each
receive one additional cache on top of the normal number for a
total of two.
 APPENDIX IV - FAQ
Q: Is this the most recent version of the Age of Darkness: The
Shadow Wars rules? Where can I find the latest ones?
A: This expansion is a collaborative effort by the admin team and users
of the ‘Crusade & Heresy: The Shadow Wars’ Facebook group. You
can find the latest version of these rules either in the ‘Files’ of the
group, or linked to in the pinned post there.

Q: Where are the rules for ‘x' weapon or piece of equipment?

A: If an item of wargear does not have rules in this document, use the
rules from the Shadow Wars: Armageddon rulebook. Only new
equipment, or those that have modified rules or entries not in the
original Shadow Wars: Armageddon rulebook are listed here.

Q: How do I recruit a Special Operative?

A: There are no additional rules for recruiting special operatives to your
kill team. Use those on page 108 of the Shadow War: Armageddon
rule book.

Q: Why does the Seeker only have Ballistic Skill 4? He’s got BS 5 in
the Legiones Astartes Crusade Army List.
A: In The Shadow Wars, the added detail means we can use wargear to
create the same effect without resorting to stat increases. In this case,
the Seeker has a red dot sight, which has the same effect of increasing
his chance to hit by +1. In addition to this, his other skills further
enhance his prowess as a marksman.

Q: What weapons does the Apothecaries ‘Field Medic’ refer to when

it describes ‘toxic weapons’?
A: The toxic rounds from the Shadow War: Armageddon rulebook has a
special injury table, and other weapons may have unusual effects on
the injury table. This line is intended to show that all injuries, unless
specifically prevented from doing so, the Field Medic rule will affect
an injury roll.

Q: Where isn’t my favourite unique Legion unit a Spec Op fighter?

A: Certain unique Legion units aren’t suitable for the dynamic lifestyle
of a kill team. For example, Tyrant and Fulmentarus Termintors are
most effective in large units on the open battlefield, not skulking
around in corridors on secret missions. Others, such as Emperors
Children Palatine Blades and Night Lords Terror squads are, with
the right skills and equipment, able to be developed from warriors in
your own kill team. Perhaps they will be the future heroes of the
Legion?
