Liber

Obscurus V1.7
RULES FOR THE FORGOTTEN AND ABANDONED OF HH2.0
 FOREWORD
Heya gang, thanks for downloading these mad scribblings of a salty HH 1.0 nerd.
In the following pages I’ve begun to fill the massive blanks that GW have left us with the
dropping of the new system.

Outside of Liber Mechancium and ‘Liber Imperialis’ we’ve not been given much in the way of
any solid news on when we may be getting rules for many of our beloved armies and Age of
Darkness Army Themes.

In the following pages you’ll find the basic rules for Blackshields and their Wrought by War
selections, the entire Milita & Cult army list that I’ve attempted to ‘port’ across to 2.0 with
massaging of rules and weapon profiles and lastly both the Shattered Legions and (my
favourite) the Army of Dark Compliance.

Obviously as GW rules come out these will become superseded and lost to the annals of time,
but who cares as long as it gets us all rolling dice and sinking some beers!
Until then please enjoy using your older, non-Astartes collections in the awesome new sand
box that is HH 2.0.

I’ll be slowly moving through Solar Auxilia, Daemons of the Ruinstorm and Talons of the
Emperor over the coming weeks in attempt to get everyone on board.

Anyway, any and all feedback is more than welcomed and encouraged, if there is anything
broken or egregious, please let me know!!
Happy gaming and Custodes suck!!
Cheers,
Nick

FEEDBACK
So I can keep all suggestions and issues in a decently neat order and act upon them in good
time, if you crazy kids who are making use of this document as well as the Liber Obscurus
Balance Pass document could put any issues in the below google form, that would help myself
and this project immensly!

 LEGIONES ASTARTES

BLACKSHIELDS
The term 'Blackshield' came to be used during the
period of the Horus Heresy known as the Age of
Darkness to cover a wide range of Space Marine
outcasts, marauders and those Legiones Astartes of
uncertain allegiances or origin.
Mystery and suspicion attached themselves to such
warriors regardless of their true loyalties or
intentions, and while some did deliberately scour
their old heraldry from their armour or replace it
with some false device or heraldry of their own, their
name of Blackshield was often a literal description
for armour over-masked or simply scorched black.
Though never existing in numbers so great as the
Legions from which they had no doubt sprang - far
from it- each faction and band, from the dozen
survivors of a deadly betrayal by their own kind who
cast aside the past, to the cohort of rapidly
indoctrinated initiates thrust into battle for a cause
they barely understood in power armour empty of
livery, had their own place in the tapestry of galaxy-
wide destruction that was the
Horus Heresy.

LEGIONES ASTARTES (BLACKSHIELDS)

All models with this special rule are subject to the following provisions:

WROUGHT BY WAR
All infantry and cavalry models with this special rule may select one of the 4 following
Wrought by War rules on the following page, at the point of writing the army list. Only 1 of
the options may be taken per army.

WARGEAR OF THE OUTER DARK THE FORGOTTEN AND THE LOST

Models with this special rule gain access to unique A Warlord with this special rule may select a
Wargear options (see Armoury of the Blackshields Warlord Trait from the Blackshields Warlord
options). Trait list.

01
Wrought by War:
Models with the Legiones Astartes (Blackshields) special rule gain one the following special rules decided while creating your army list
(one selection for the entire army). If any of the below options are taken the army not use a Rite of War, nor may it contain any of the
following units: Legion Praetor, Legion Cataphractii Praetor, Legion Tartaros Praetor, Legion Command Squad, Legion Cataphractii
Command Sqaud, Legion Tartaros Command Squad, Legion Tactical Squad, Legion Drop Pod, Legion Drednought Drop Pod, Legion
Deathstorm Drop Pod.

Death Seekers
These Blackshields are motivated by an all-consuming drive to offer up their own lives upon the altars of war. Psychologically unstable,
either as a result of what they have witnessed or endured or through brutally enforced and accelerated psycho-indoctrination, death
has become the center of their being, either as a blessed release, sought-for atonement or programmed obsession, but they will not
meet death vainly and without taking as many of the foe with them as they can. Through sheer force of will or other more malign
influence, such as prohibited gene-seed experimentation, they are able to shrug off otherwise debilitating injury as they abandon
themselves to the anarchy of battle.

Inured to Pain: All Infantry and Cavalry models gain the Feel No Pain (6+) special rule. Note this does not stack with the Feel No Pain
given by Narthecium, but will with add to the Feel no Pain given from Heart of the Legion. They also take no negative modifiers when
called upon to take a pinning or morale test during the shooting phase, but may not make any Reactions during the shooting phase.

Orphans of War
Having seen betrayal, atrocity and unthinkable carnage at the behest of distant and uncaring masters, these warriors are hardened
veterans who have survived against all odds and now trust only in the man next to them in the line of battle. For brothers they will
fight and die and strive to see another dawn, but for great cause or Primarch, and the lies and whispers of lords and potentates alike,
they have nothing but scorn.

Non-Character models with this special rule: When within 6" of another unit of at least five\ friendly models with the Legiones
Astartes (Blackshields) special rule, the unit gains +1 Leadership (to a maximum of 10), and can re-roll all failed To Hit rolls of a 1 during
the Shooting phase and Assault phase. They may not however benefit from the Leadership value of other models, and if they fail a
Morale check in the Assault phase, D3 models from the unit are removed as casualties in addition to any other effects. (Example, there
is a unit of 3 models within 6” of a unit with 6 models. Only the unit of 3 models would get the benefit in this instance).
Character/Independent Character models with this special rule: Gain the Preferred Enemy (Character/Independent Character)
special rule.
No Gods, No Masters: Blackshield Detachments with this special rule cannot include Chaplain Consuls, Agents of the Imperium or
Agents of the Warmaster, and cannot ally with any Space Marine Legion Detachment which does so (or contains a Primarch). Any
model with the Legiones Astartes (Blackshields) rule may not make any reactions during the Assault Phase.

Outlanders
These Space Marines have seen the depths to which both sides in Mankind's civil war will sinknto in order to destroy the other, and
they have washed their hands of either side and are now pursuing their own goals, having turned towards the path of the marauder and
void corsair to determine their fate. For some who have previously served in the nomad predation fleets and the flotillas of the Rogue
Traders at the forefront of the Great Crusade's darkest frontiers, this may be merely a reversion to a path well-travelled in the past,
although with themselves as master, while others will have been forced into exile by the wroth of enemy and one-time ally alike.

Void Reavers: Before the game begins, up to half of the detachment's infantry and cavalry units without Dedicated Transports may be
given the Deep Strike special rule and enter play via Reserve or Deep Strike Assault. However, a Deepstrike Assault becomes disordered
on the roll of a 1 or 2. They may not, however, make any reactions in the Movement Phase.
Unsanctioned Weaponry: Any model with this special rule in the detachment with access to a combibolter as an upgrade or option
may instead take a xenos deathlock for +8 points or may exchange a combibolter they already possess for a xenos deathlock for +3
points. Any character model that does not already do so in the detachment has access to rad grenades as an option for +10 points each.
The Shadow of Oblivion: Make a note of how many units of infantry and cavalry with the Legiones Astartes (Blackshields) rule are in
your army at the start of the game, also make this total known to your opponent. Once half of these units have been either destroyed or
are Falling Back, this special rule takes effect. At the beginning of every subsequent Game Turn, their controlling player must make a
Leadership test for each unit with this special rule remaining. If it fails, the unit is removed from play and counts as destroyed.

Chymeriae
As the Age of Darkness progressed so there came into being Legiones Astartes who simply should not have existed. Some were the by-
blows of failed rapid implantation and psycho-indoctrination programs, others the product of prohibited experimentation on gene-
seed stock or the influence of malign forces from beyond. Most often the cause for such 'Chymeriae' creation was to create a
breakthrough that would see their faction, Loyalist or Traitor, gain a decisive edge in the war; a goal which for some any taboo or
stricture was worth breaking. All, be they Primarch or master apothecary, who attempted this soon learned the folly of their error. Such
warriors were at best invariably unstable or unpredictable when compared to those Legiones Astartes brought into being by
conventional means, while others succumbed to irreparable madness or cancerous mutation as terrifying xto behold as it was
ultimately fatal.
Chymeriae Attributes: At the start of the game before set-up, the model's owning player must declare which one of the following
combination of bonuses and penalties applies to all infantry and cavalry units in the affected detachment with this special rule:
- Option 1: +1 Strength, +1 Toughness,-1 Initiative, -1 Movement, -1” to Charge and Run Distances, may not make Sweeping Advances.
No units with this rule may make reactions during the movement phase.
- Option 2: +1WS, +1 BS, -2 Ld. No units with this rule may make reactions during the shooting phase.
- Option 3: The unit gains the Fear (1), Fleet (2) and Rage (1) special rules, -1 BS, must always make Sweeping Advances if able to. No
units with this rule may make reactions during the Assault Phase.
Shunned and Distrusted: A Legiones Astartes (Blackshields) Primary Detachment with this special rule may not have an Allied
Detachment.

Blackshield Warlord Traits
A Warlord with the Legiones Astartes (Blackshields) Faction may select a Warlord Trait from among those listed
below instead of selecting one of the Core Warlord Traits

wrought by this petty god-king. most of these forces simply ceased to exist, every iota of
use wrung out of them, on a few occasions these few
survivors would plague the living like vengeful spectres.
This Warlord and any unit he has joined gains the
Preferred Enemy (Legiones Astartes (X)) special rule.
The Warlord and any unit he joins has both the Fear (1)
(Does not stack with any other iterations of the Fear (x)
The Warlord and any unit he has joined may ignore any rule) as well as the Night Vision special rules.
Reaction limitations imposed due to any specific
Wrought by War Special Rules.
The Warlord and any unit he has joined may ignore any
Predation Fleet-Master Reaction limitations imposed due to any specific
Wrought by War Special Rules.
Many of the Blackshield forces littered across the
nascent Imperium managed to only survive off the
scraps of larger forces after battles had been won and
lost. With the Civil War raging to full effect, even these
smaller forces would readily pounce on larger, wounded
enemy forces to plunder their whatever war material
they could.

The Warlord and any unit he joins may reroll charge

distances and re-roll all to-hit and to-wound rolls
during the Assault Phase against any unit that numbers
less than what his unit does (Bulky (X) counting for that
many models etc).

The Warlord and any unit he has joined may ignore any
Reaction limitations imposed due to any specific
Wrought by War Special Rules.

03
 THE ARMOURY OF THE BLACKSHIELDS
The following comprises a list of new options and Wargear available only to Detachments with the Legiones Astartes
(Blackshields) factions and exemplifies the ad-hoc nature of their wargear.

Pariah Power Armour

Some Blackshield forces were observed to modify their power armour in a manner not prescribed by any doctrine of the Legiones
Astartes. By stripping back reactor casings, re-routing power couplings and foregoing components such as gauntlets, motive
stabilisers, vambraces, pauldrons or helm, the wearer is afforded a combination of power and dexterity not provided by standard
patterns, albeit at the expense of some protection against heavy weapons fire.
Any unit or character with the Legiones Astartes (Blackshield) special rule that has the Infantry Unit Type with a 3+ save and that
does not have the Heavy, or Unique sub type may exchange their standard Power Armour for Pariah power armour.

Pariah power armour confers a 3+ armour save, +1 Movement, the Path Finder Special rule and the Light and Skirmish unit sub-types.
If a unit or model wearing Pariah armour is shot at by any weapon with a Strength of 6 or higher, those attacks from said weapon
gain the Breaching (5+) Special Rule against the models wearing Pariah power armour.

Pariah Bolter
Though it grieves those inducted into the mysteries of the machine, some Blackshields have learned to strip the iconic bolter of its
casing and any extraneous fittings in order to make it easier to handle during the fury of a charge or the tumult of a Zone Mortalis
engagement.
Any unit or character with the Legiones Astartes (Blackshield) special rule that has a bolter may exchange it for a Pariah Bolter.

Weapon Str AP Range Type

Pariah Bolter 4 5 16” Assault 2, Wall of Mass Reactive Bolts

Wall of Mass Reactive Bolts: If the model firing this weapon also the Light unit sub-type and has decided to run during the
movement phase, it may fire this weapon at its full ballistic skill in the shooting phase.

If a charge is made in the same player turn that a model from the unit that fired with this weapon, the Charge will count as
disordered (note that if the unit ran, it still cannot charge).

Pariah Flamer
These weapons, produced from battle-damaged and field-repaired units, have been modified by their bearers to remove safety cut-
offs, allowing a greater volume of fuel to be fired, albeit at risk and with less regularity of pressure than standard issue Imperial
flamers. Such protocols are not approved by the battle doctrines of the Legiones Astartes and are in contravention of the laws of the
Cult Mechanicus.
Any unit or character with the Legiones Astartes (Blackshield) special rule that may take a flamer may swap it for a Pariah Flamer.

Weapon Str AP Range Type

Pariah Flamer 3 5 Template Assault 1, Overpressure

Overpressue: A weapon with the Overpressure special rule may be fired at Str 4 and with the Torrent and Gets Hot special rules. The
Overpressure special rule may not be used to fire Overwatch.

Xenos Deathlock
There exist many terrifyingly powerful xenos technology weapons encountered during the Great Crusade, which, though incredibly
effective, have been declared prohibited by Mechanicum and Emperor alike for their detrimental effects on the body and mind of a
human wielder. The desperation of certain Blackshield forces, however, has overcome such concerns. Those weapons sought out by
certain groups of Blackshields are prized for the trauma they inflict upon the foe-enemies not torn apart by their horrifying effect are
assailed by a storm of soul-wrenching alien horror. Such weapons have been encountered in a range of classes, such as the extinction
carbines of the Khrave or the psycho-mobius claw-guns of the Kala Sistrum being the most commonly sought after amongst
Blackshield forces.

Weapon Str AP Range Type

Xenos Deathlock 5 5 18” Assault 2, Deathlock, Lethal Exposure

Deathlock: A unit that has suffered one or more wounds from a weapon with the Deathlock special rule must take a Leadership test
at the end of the Shooting phase before any Pinning tests or Morale checks are taken. The test has a negative modifier equal to the
number of wounds the target unit suffered with the Deathlock effect that tum. If the unit is Stubborn or Fearless, the test is still
taken but without the negative modifiers for casualties caused. If the test is failed, the unit immediately suffers D6 extra wounds
which may be saved normally.

Lethal Exposure: If a unit fires one or more weapons with this special rule in the Shooting phase, roll 2D6. If the roll result is less
than the number of deathlock shots fired by the unit in that phase, the unit suffers a wound with no armour saves (Invulnerable and
Feel No Pain saves may be taken though) on a model selected by its owning player. Do not roll for Lethal Exposure in the case of
Overwatch fire.

 THE IMPERALIS

MILITA & CULTS

Across the entire Imperium, it falls to the Imperialis
Militia to secure and to hold those worlds brought to
Compliance by the Expeditionary fleets of the Great
Crusade. Part of the vast, sprawling body of the
Imperium’s military and its support structure,
known collectively as the ‘Excertus Imperialis’, they
form what is in effect the lowest and most common
run of the wider Imperial Army, or the ‘Imperialis
Auxilia’ as it is more precisely known. Once a world
is declared Compliant and under the full control of
an appointed and independent Imperial
Commander, part of that Commander’s principal
duty is the raising of an Imperialis Militia to protect
their domain and sustain their control. It is the duty
of this militia to act in no small part as
the enforcers of the Imperial Truth if needed, and its
protectors should the Iterators and cadres of
administrators of all stripes who are left behind to
oversee the long transition to full concordance
become threatened or meet resistance. When the
Crusade hosts depart, such worlds stand alone once
more. Should rebellion ignite, the world’s own
militia must crush it. Should xenos raiders or
outcasts attack from without, the world’s own
militia must hold until help arrives. The Imperialis
Militia are therefore the first, and in many cases, the
only bulwark against recidivism and disorder, and its
forces, whether they are raised as conscripts from a
hive’s teeming masses, the yeomanry of a feudal
order or tribal levies, stand guard as watchmen
against the return of the horrors of Old Night.

THE IMPERIALIST MILITIA AND CULTS

The rules listed in the following pages cover everything needed to field
the myriad forces of mortal troops across the Imperium at large.

THE PANOPLY OF THE MASSES

Models with this special rule gain access to unique
Wargear options (see Armoury of the Militia &
Cults options).

OF DEMAGOGUES AND SAINTS

A Warlord with this special rule may select a
Warlord Trait from the Milita & Cults Warlord
Trait list.

MILITA & CULTS ADVANCED REACTION

This Advanced Reaction is available only to units made up entirely of models with the chosen from the Militia & Cults army
list and with the Provenance special rule. Unlike Core Reactions, Advanced Reactions are activated in unique and specific
circumstances, as noted in their descriptions, and can often have game changing effects. Advanced Reactions use up points of
a Reactive player’s Reaction Allotment as normal and obey all other restrictions placed upon Reactions, unless it is specifically
noted otherwise in their description.

Send in the next wave! - This Advanced Reaction may only be made once per battle during the enemy Shooting phase.
When any unit consisting wholly of Infantry with the Provenance special rule is selected as the target of an enemy shooting
attack, once the enemy has resolved its attack, if there are no models remaining in the unit, then an exact duplicate of the
entire unit, including any attached Medicaes or Discipline masters is immediately placed into the controlling players ongoing
reserves and may enter the battlefield in the usual way. The controlling players unit that was removed to allow this reaction
does not count as destroyed for the purposes of VP of any kind.

09
MILITA & CULTS WARLORD TRAITS
A Warlord with the Provenance special rule may select a Warlord Trait from among those listed
below instead of selecting one of the Core Warlord Traits:

Ruthless Tyrant
The commander is a dark-hearted tyrant; either from a line whose bloody rule has persisted for generations or who has risen to their
position through iron-fisted ruthlessness and ambition. The commander might be hated, but they are always obeyed.
The Warlord has +1 Leadership (to a maximum of 9), he also has the 'Instil Order' special rule (see Discipline Master Cadre) except he
must "Instil Order" in all units within 6" of him even if he isn't part of the unit. All units wholly within 9" of him have the Stubborn
special rule. While the warlord is alive the army may make an additional reaction in the Assault phase.
Merchant Princeling
Having ascended to high noble rank, the commander regards the Imperialis Militia as an extension of their household’s glory and has
expended personal wealth on the most favoured warriors under their command.
One squad of the owning player’s choice with the Infantry type counts all of their ranged weapons as having an AP of 1 better than
normal for their type (AP 6 becoming AP 5, etc). While the warlord is alive this army may make an extra reaction in the shooting phase.

Beloved of the People

Whether earned through personal example or through inheriting a forebear’s legacy, the commander’s name is beloved by all their
subjects. Should they fall, they will be avenged.
Should the Warlord ever be removed as a casualty, all of their owning player’s Troops units from the army’s Primary Detachment with
the Infantry type gain the Hatred special rule for the remainder of the game. Also once the Warlord has been used as a casualty, the
army may make up to 3 reactions in the Movement phase, but they may only be advance. This army can never make use of the "Send in
the next wave" Advanced Reaction.

THE ARMOURY OF THE MILITA & CULTS

This is strictly covering miscellaneous weapons and equipment used by the Militia & Cults army list that does not appear in either
Liber Astartes or Hereticus or aren’t directly listed in their unit entries (mainly as I just can’t be buggered right now, will make a pass at
a later date.).

HQ
The leaders of the
Imperialis Militias range
from planetary commanders
and their staff to tribal
chiefs, depending\on the
nature of the militia’s home
world. On many planets, the
ruling elite has been
implanted by the
Administration of Terra
during the Great Crusade,
and so it is far from unusual
for a comparatively
primitive militia to be
commanded by a leader
born of a Terran noble
house or some other core
world, clad in gaudy finery
and carrying the most
wondrous of personal
weaponry. In other cases,
native battle-kings or hive
gang overlords are allowed
to retain authority and
elevated to formal military
rank upon bending knee to
the Imperium, and so lead
entire armies of their own
peoples in the defence of
their home worlds.
When the Horus Heresy
sundered the worlds of the
Imperium, it transpired that
countless Imperial
Commanders and their
houses had secretly sworn
their allegiance to the
Warmaster, while others
had been judged by his
agents as too enthralled to
the Emperor of Mankind to
be turned. In many
instances, the former were
given the task of destroying
the latter as proof of their
loyalty to Horus, the fruits
of the arch-Traitor’s
patronage only granted once
this grim duty was
discharged.

gain the Curropted and Preferred Enemy (Loyalists) special rules, and also gain the option to exchange their close
combat weapon for a tainted weapon for +5 points.

12
The following Provenances of War are
facets of a particular force which
represents the nature of the world from
which it originates or the particular
character and background of the
warriors themselves. The presence of a
Force Commander in the army allows
up to two different Provenances to be
selected for the detachment via their
Muster of Worlds special rule. Any
single detachment can never have more
than two Provenances however,
regardless of the number of Force
Commanders present. Each Provenance
has a listed cost shown in its description
which is counted as part of the points
cost of the Force Commander. Unless
noted, the effects of any rules featured
in the Provenance’s description apply to
any and all units in the same
detachment as the Force Commander
with the ‘Provenance’ special rule listed
in their profile.
In addition, certain Provenances may
not be taken in combination or have
other limitations which taking them
imposes on the rest of the army, which
means it’s advisable to choose your
Force Commander and any Provenances
you wish for the detachment before
working out the rest of your army.
Certain Provenances will also allow
access to special equipment options or
unit options which must be paid for
separately on a unit by unit basis.
Gene-crafted.............+90points
The detachment’s troops have been
subjected to deliberate gene-crafting to
improve their physical attributes to
superhuman levels, either by recent
modification or owing to some ancient
manipulation to their planetary stock
during the Dark Age of Technology.
Such manipulations however are seldom
as stable or as predictable as the
Emperor’s handiwork.
All eligible units and models receive +1
to their Strength and Initiative values (to
a maximum of 4, or 6 in the case of an
Ogryn’s Strength). Units and models
with this Provenance may not benefit
from the Feel No Pain (x) special rule
from any source (such as Auxilia
Medicae Orderlies, etc).
Abhuman Helots....................+30 points
Abhumans, often drawn from the helot
labour classes of afflicted worlds,
subcitizens on the cusp of accepted
tolerance levels for mutation and
genetic deviance, are often pressed into
front line fighting by their human
Imperial Commanders in times of
emergency, and suffer this fate even
more readily at the hands of cult
demagogues and petty tyrants in the
Traitors’ service .
All eligible units and models receive an
increase of +1 to their Toughness value
but also lower their Initiative value by -1
(to a minimum of 1).
Option – Discipline Collars: Any unit
with this Provenance may be given
Discipline Collars for +15 points per
unit (see page 66).
Warrior Elite................+40 points
The detachment’s troops are trained to a
high standard and possess discipline
worthy of a regular Imperial Army unit.
All eligible units and models receive +1
to their Leadership value (to a maximum
of 9). Militia Levy squads in an army
with this Provenance gain the Support
Squad special rule.
Alchem-jackers.............+30 points
Whether through a debased cultural
type or simply through the use of
extreme measures to guarantee the
combat worthiness of a penal unit, the
troops and perhaps even the officers of
this army have their resolve ‘assisted’ by
chemical injectors or stim-inhalers in
battle. The inherent insanity of certain
cult forces has much the same effect .
All units with this Provenance do not
suffer negative modifiers to their
Leadership value in the Assault phase
and, in addition, if they fail a Morale
check owing to casualties in the
Shooting phase, they become pinned
instead of Falling Back.
Option – Frenzon: Any unit with this
Provenance can have frenzon dispensers
for +20 points per unit (+30 points for
an Ogryn Brute unit), gaining the Rage
(1) special rule. However, any unit with
these must always make Sweeping
Advances if it is able to.
13
Feral Warriors ........................+30 points
Products of a savage or warlike culture,
feral warriors, whether from the depths
of an underhive or barbaric tribes of
regressive worlds have already been
hardened by a life of violence and had
their skills honed in a constant battle for
survival.
All eligible units and models receive a +1
bonus to their WS (to a maximum of 4)
– Ogryns instead receive +1 Attack. A
detachment with this Provenance
cannot have more units with the Vehicle
type in total than it does those with the
Infantry type.
Option – Blade and Fury: Any unit with
this Provenance, other than Ogryn Brute
squads, gains +1 Attack for +20 points per
squad.
Cyber-augmetics .........+30 points
The detachment hails from a highly
technologically advanced or even void
nomadic culture which habitually
surgically enhances its troops with
augmetic implants, either to improve
combat performance or mitigate
disfigurement or environmental
damage.
All eligible units and models receive an
invulnerable save of 6+ (or may improve
an existing invulnerable save by +1 to a
maximum of 3+). Units and models with
this Provenance however must reduce
their Movement by -1. This Provenance
may not be chosen in conjunction with
the Genecrafted Provenance.
Survivors of the Dark Age….+75 points
The force has its origins on a world
which survived with many of the
wonders of the Dark Age of Technology
intact, and its forces are equipped with
weapons and equipment which are
potent, if idiosyncratic, in origin .
All eligible units and models receive an
increase of +1 to their basic Armour save
(5+ becoming 4+ and so on) to a
maximum of 3+. However, the
detachment’s compulsory Troops
choices must be filled by Grenadier
squads, and in addition Inducted Levy
squads in an army with this Provenance
gain the Support Squad special rule and
this Provenance itself may not be used
in conjunction with the Cult Horde or
Tainted Flesh
Provenances. Option – Advanced
Weapons: The strength of its laspistols,
lascarbines, lasrifles, laslocks and rotor
cannon (still count as auto weapons for
any relevant rules) used by its Grenadier
and Platoon Command Cadre squads
may be increased by +1 for +15 points per
squad. If this option is taken, all such
squads in the army must be so upgraded.
In addition Grenadier and Platoon
Command Cadres with this Provenance
may take either a Rhino or Land Raider
Proteus as their Dedicated Transports
so long as they number 10 models or
less. See the Liber Astartes/Herecticus
for details and points costs.
Efforts should be made to model this
upgrade accordingly with suitably
ornate or enhanced weapons.
Traitor Only – Cult
Horde..................................... +35 points
Driven to debasement and lunacy by
exposure to the Warp-infected
influences of forbidden rites and hellish
lore, some of the indentured armies that
were brought to Calth by the Word
Bearers, and which later served the
Traitors’ cause elsewhere, were
murderous beyond reason, their souls
and lives already forfeit to dark powers.
All eligible units and models with this
Provenance gain the Hatred
(Everything!) and the Stubborn special
rule. However, they must always
attempt to charge an enemy if they are
within 12” at the start of the assault
phase, and may even charge if they have
fired weapons in the Shooting phase
which would make them ineligible to do
so (counting as making a disordered
charge in this case).
Affected models and units with this
Provenance may only make Snap Shots
with their shooting attacks and cannot
make any Reactions in the shooting
phase.
Grenadier squads may not be taken in
an army which uses this Provenance and
this Provenance may not be used in
conjunction with the Survivors of the
Dark Age Provenance.
14
Traitor Only – Tainted
Flesh......................................... +35 points
Stranger and more terrible than the
madmen who followed the banners of
the warp cults were those who carried
the stigmata of the Warp upon their
flesh, forming a parade of horrors
unguessed at by sane minds.
All eligible units and models receive the
Fear (1) special rule and the Feel No Pain
(6+) special rule, and their close combat
attacks gain the Rending (6+) special
rule. However, the detachment’s
compulsory Troops choices must be
filled by Inducted Levy squads, and it
may not have more Infantry units,
excepting HQ choices of other types,
than it has Inducted Levy squads in
total. For example, if it has three
Inducted Levy squads, it can have a
maximum of three additional Infantry
squads of other kinds.
The only HQ choices the detachment
can take are the Force Commander and
Rogue Psyker entries.
Special Option – Mutant Spawn:
Detachments with this Provenance have
access to a unique Heavy Support
choice, the Mutant Spawn (see page 93).
Restriction: This Provenance cannot be
taken in conjunction with the Survivors
of the Dark Age, Gene-crafted or
Alchem-jacker Provenances.

Platoon Standard
A unit which contains a model with a Platoon Standard has all the benefits of a Vexilla. In addition, any friendly unit
from the Imperialis Militia army with models within 24" of the Cohort Vexilla may ignore casualties when taking
Morale checks.

Vexilla
A unit that includes at least one model with a Legion vexilla adds +1 to the Wounds score used to determine if they win

Discipline Collars
Not all of the soldiers of the Imperialis Militia served willingly. In some cases, entire armies that had resisted
Compliance until their world was broken by force were indentured to the Excertus Imperialis and shipped to the front
lines of the Great Crusade in punishment and to quell future rebellion. In others, warriors from sub-tribal or
terminally regressive cultures were indentured who were little more than animals to whom reason and order were
alien concepts were brought into the fold, and only the harshest and most immediate methods were effective in
bringing discipline to the ranks. In such cases, the tool of last resort for the commanders set over them was the
widespread use of discipline collars; shackles which would reward disobedience, cowardice and rebellion with
paralysis, agony or death, as the crime warranted.
A unit equipped with discipline collars gains the Stubborn special rule. However, should it fail a Morale check on a roll
of double 6, it is removed from play as if destroyed. Any attached models such as Discipline Masters, Auxilia Medicae

provide or maintain their
own basic equipment,
heavier weapons are
usually kept in secure
stockpiles accessible only
by senior officers. These
stores are only opened in
times of crisis or general
mobilisation, and issued
to troops specially trained
in their use; the risk that
the weapons will be turned
against a world’s leaders
thereby minimised.
The tactics used by the �re

A Gorgon is a huge, heavily
armoured transport vehicle
used to carry a large
number of assault troops
towards an enemy’s front
lines, before disgorging
them directly into enemy
positions. It is a relatively
primitive design, of
uncertain origins adopted
for auxiliary troops during
the early Great Crusade,
and lacks either the
flexibility of those designs
favoured by the Space
Marine Legions or the
environmental resilience
of the Dracosan utilised
by the elite Solar Auxilia.
Its virtues, however, lie in
its sheer scale and rugged
durability to enemy �re, the
latter thanks largely to the
Gorgon’s heavily armoured
prow, designed to protect
it as it rumbles across
noman’s
land, carrying forty
men inside through hostile
fire and barrages.
the Gorgon is only
deployed by the strategos
of the Great Crusade for
carefully selected missions
of assault where the
otherwise survivability of
militia troops would be
negligible. Such missions
commonly include first

Once at its target location, Performing a Subterranean Assault

macrofortifications, Embarked within) anywhere on the battlefield that is at least 1" from any enemy model, battlefield edge or piece of
scattering Impassable Terrain and then scatter that model (see the Scatter rules on page 152 of the Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness
rulebook). If the model’s final position is within 1" of an enemy model, any battlefield edge or a piece of Impassable
Terrain, the controlling player’s opponent may move that model to any position within 18" that is more than 1" from
any enemy model, battlefield edge or piece of Impassable Terrain. If there is no suitable position within 18" then the
model may be repositioned anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 1" from any enemy model, battlefield edge or
piece of Impassable Terrain.

Once this first unit has been deployed, roll a dice. On the roll of a ‘1’ the Subterranean Assault is Disordered, and the
opposing player may deploy each remaining unit in the Subterranean Assault anywhere within 12" of the first unit
without scattering, though no model may be within 1" of an enemy model or within Impassable Terrain. If the roll is a
‘2’ or higher, the controlling player deploys each other unit anywhere within 12" of the first, though no model may be
within 1" of an enemy model or within Impassable Terrain. Any models Embarked on a model with the Transport Sub-
type must remain Embarked and may not Disembark as part of a Subterranean Assault (but may Disembark normally
during the following Movement phase).

Once all units are deployed, any enemy units with one or more models within 6" of any unit deployed as part of the
Subterranean Assault suffer D6+3 Str 6, AP 4 Hits (Wounds caused by these Hits do not cause Morale checks or Pinning
tests). Once all Hits are resolved, any enemy units that are neither Pinned or Falling Back and are within line of sight
may choose to make the Interceptor Reaction (see page 309 of the Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness rulebook) targeting
any one of the units deployed as part of the Subterranean Assault. Note that no Reaction other than Interceptor may be
made against the deployment of a unit as part of a Subterranean Assault.

Once all units from the Subterranean Assault have been deployed and any Interceptor Reactions have been resolved,
the turn proceeds as normal. Units that have been deployed as part of a Subterranean Assault may Move, Run or Shoot
as normal. However, only units deployed aboard a model with the Transport Sub-type with the Assault Vehicle special
rule may declare and resolve a Charge and Assault as normal. Other units deployed as part of a Subterranean Assault
may not declare or resolve a Charge on the same turn as they are deployed.

The most common transport vehicles are those dedicated to carrying the infantry that form the core of Mankind’s
armies. Such bulk transports lack the specialised equipment to accommodate more unique warriors.

No model with any version of the Bulky (x) special rule may Embark on a model that has this special rule.

Repair
Some vehicles are robust enough or simple enough in their construction that the crew can conduct minor repairs in
the field.

Combat Interdiction
A unit or model with this special rule may be placed into Combat Air Patrol at the start of the battle, before any models
are deployed onto the battlefield. Models assigned to Combat Air Patrol are not deployed onto the battlefield
and remain in Reserves – however, no Reserves rolls are made for these models. Instead, the controlling player gains
access to the Combat Air Patrol Advanced Reaction.

Combat Air Patrol – This Advanced Reaction may be made whenever any enemy model that has the Vehicle
Unit Type and the Flyer Sub-type enters the battlefield from Reserves. The Reactive player may nominate any
one model that has been assigned to Combat Air Patrol. Once the enemy model with the Vehicle Unit Type and
Flyer Sub-type that triggered this Reaction has finished any and all Movement as it is brought into play, the
chosen model assigned to Combat Air Patrol is brought into play from any point on the edge of the battlefield,
moving into play as if it had entered play from Reserves. Once the Combat Air Patrol model has finished its
Movement it may immediately make Shooting Attack targeting the enemy model that triggered this Reaction –
as long as it has finished its Movement with line of sight to that model. Only models with the Vehicle Unit Type
and Flyer Sub-type may make the Combat Air Patrol Reaction

After a model with this special rule (or a unit composed entirely of models with this special rule) has
resolved a Shooting Attack targeting an enemy unit, any weapons that were not used to attack
(either due to being out of line of sight or range of the enemy unit, or because the controlling player
voluntarily opted not to attack with them) may make a number of Secondary Shooting Attacks
using those weapons that did not fire as part of its initial Shooting Attack. Each weapon not fired as
part of the initial Shooting Attack may be fired once, either all of them in a single Secondary
Shooting Attack, each in a separate Secondary Shooting Attack targeting a different enemy unit or
any combination – however, each weapon may only be used to attack once and in no more than one
Secondary Shooting Attack. All Secondary Shooting Attacks obey all the normal rules for range and
line of sight and are with a modifier of -1 on all To Hit rolls.

The Leman Russ battle
tank was only just
beginning to be issued to
Imperialis Militia forces at
the outbreak of the Horus
Heresy, albeit in its most
basic pattern and form
utilising a template that
could be constructed on
most worlds with basic
industrialisation. Here
the unseen hand of the
Warmaster’s agents must
surely have been at work,
as it was in so many other,
similar circumstances.
It appears that militias that
would later declare for
Horus were given priority
in the procurement of
the Leman Russ, while
those which could not
be relied upon to take up
arms against Terra were
starved of access to it.
Nevertheless, Leman Russ
battle tanks were deployed
by Imperialis Militias
on both sides of the
galactic civil war, often in
deliberate concentrations
(this being their optimum
deployment with relatively
unskilled support troops
and inexperienced tank
commanders), their
formidable main weapons
providing vital support to

listed in the Legacies of The Age of Darkness PDF.

Given these will be crewed by mortals as opposed to the super-human Astartes they will all instead replace the Legiones Astartes (x)
special rule with the Mortal Crews special rule.

Mortal Crews:
Any model with the Mortal Crews special rule decreases its Ballistic skill by -1.

The Following units from the GW Legacies PDF are available for use as Lords of War for the Militia & Cults army. I suggest using the
updated entries in the Legends - Liber Obscurus Balance Pass (available in the same folder as this PDF).

-Legion Minotaur Battery 265pts

 AGE OF DARKNESS THEME:
ARMY OF DARK COMPLIANCE
BUILDING AN ARMY OF DARK COMPLIANCE
• The Primary Detachment in an Army of Dark Compliance is chosen using units drawn from both the Liber Astartes/Herecticus
and the Liber Obscurus/Liber Imperialis army lists.
• The Primary Detachment must contain at least one Legion Praetor, Centurion (including Consuls) or Blackshield Reaver Lord
(in any armour configuration), who must be the army's Warlord.
• The army may only belong to the Traitor faction.
• The Army of Dark Compliance may not make use of Legiones Astartes Rites of War.
• Any Legiones Astartes special rules that apply to models in the same detachment as the unit with the Legiones Astartes special
rule do not apply to Militia units.
• Aside from the above stipulation and where specifically noted, all units are treated as drawn from the same army list, so may
use one another's Transport vehicles, benefit from Warlord Traits, etc.
• The Primary Detachment may never have more units chosen from the Liber Astartes/Hereticus list than it has units chosen
from the Liber Imperialis/Obscurus lists.
• The Primary Detachment may not contain a Discipline Master Cadre.

The Warmaster's Due

Though the mortal servants of the Warmaster aspired to reap the benefits of service to his vision of the reforged Imperium,
in reality they were often used as bait to draw Loyalist attacks or as simple cannon fodder.

Any model with the Legiones Astartes special rule that is a part of this Theme may claim a bonus of +I to any cover saves granted
because of weapons fire passing through any Infantry unit from the Imperialis Militia and Cults army list to reach them (the
standard 5+ save allowed for Intervening models becoming a 4+). However, if this bonus is claimed, the Militia unit immediately
suffers D3 wounds per unit firing through them against which this save bonus has been claimed. Wounds inflicted in this way are
distributed as if the enemy unit against which the cover save bonus has been claimed had fired upon the Militia unit, and have no
AP value.

Disposable

The Traitor Legiones Astartes officers who oversaw the Armies of Dark Compliance often factored them into their battle
plans as no more than disposable cannon fodder, whose sole tactical value was to die in the service of the Warmaster.

The Disposable special rule may be applied to any Militia unit in the army. Units that take this option never count
as scoring units or denial units, they also lose the Line sub-type if they had it. This option should be declared at the same time.
that Warlord Traits, psychic powers, etc, are selected and if the option is not declared, the rule applies to only Inducted Levy
squads.

Disposable: The opposing player never gains Victory points for specifically
destroying this unit in missions where this is relevant. This includes for
secondary objectives such as First Blood, but this does not affect Victory points
based on the number of total units destroyed in a particular game (such as for
Attrition).

 AGE OF DARKNESS THEME: SHATTERED LEGIONS

BUILDING A SHATIERED LEGIONS ARMY

• A Shattered Legions force is chosen from the Liber Astartes Army list.
• Unlike a conventional Legiones Astartes force, the Primary Detachment in a Shattered Legions army may (and in fact must)
include units with different versions of the Legiones Astartes (x) special rule.
• The Primary Detachment must contain elements of at least two different Legions (ie, units with different versions of the
Legiones Astartes (X) special rule). In order to take any choices from a specific Legion, the force must contain a Praetor or
Centurion (including any Consul and armour types), or suitable HQ Unique Character from the same Legion and each such
character taken must be from a different Legion.
• A Shattered Legion army may never include a Primarch or any models with the Legiones Astartes( Blackshields) special rule.
• While most Shattered Legion armies were Loyalists at the beginning of the Age of Darkness, later, Traitor-aligned forces came
into being as well. Therefore, the army should be declared as belonging to the Traitor or the Loyalist faction and will be subject
to the normal limitations and options.

The Whole is Greater than the Sum

Many Shattered Legion forces came into existence in the aftermath of extreme trauma, the Isstvan V Dropsite Massacre
being the most infamous, but far from the only example of this. The composite parts of the different Legions represented
in their ranks were held together by strong leaders, but should such men fall in battle, the entire force was wont to shatter
once more.

So long as the army's Warlord is alive and, on the table, units from different Legions treat one another as Sworn Brothers (see the
Allies in the Age of Darkness rules). Otherwise, units from different Legions treat one another as Distrusted Allies. In this last
instance, only those units from the same Legion as the Warlord can be scoring units.

The Price of Redemption

For the Shattered Legions, retribution was all. In numerous battles, tactical and strategic goals were rendered secondary to the
imperative to exact revenge from those who had betrayed them.

Units in a Shattered Legion army are never counted as denial units.

Rites of War
A Shattered Legion army may use Rites of War in the normal way, having access to all the general Rites of War. The army may
use a Legion-specific Rite of War if the Warlord has the required version of the Legiones Astartes special rule. In this case, any
effects described in the Rite of War as applying to models with a specific version of the Legiones Astartes (x) special rule are
applied across the army to all units in it with any version of the Legiones Astartes (X) special rule.

Legion-specific Rules
The following Legion-specific special rules are modified as stated when applied to units in a Shattered Legions army.
When using the Ultramarines Strength of Wisdom special rule, the definition of which other units count
as Ultramarines units is extended to all Shattered Legion units in the army.

Legion-specific Reactions
The player has access to the Advanced Reactions for all of the Legiones Astartes (x) units represented in the army. While they
may have access to multiple Advanced Reactions, only 1 may be used per battle.

 Change Log

123/11 v1.7
1.07 Changelog
Apologies for the long delay! Was waiting for Liber Imperium to drop before I took another pass at
Liber Obscurus so we where aware of what may have been coming out.
The idea of this change log is to bring things (for better or worse) more in line with what we've seen
released within the Liber Imperium. Also taken in the feedback kicked into the feedback form, so
thank you very much to all the people that put feedback in and the pats on the back, certainly lifted
the spirits, cheers!

P13-14 Knocked 5-10 points off of most Provenances of War. As well as the upgrades.
P17 Knocked Medicae's down to FnP (6+) (They're really hating on poor old humans this edition).
Changed to single purchase, up to an additional 9. Allowed them to join the brute squad.
P19 Ogryn Brutes 90 points for first 3, 30 points a model, Bulky (4), Short of just porting across the
Charonite squad, hoping 10 pts a model helps bring them a bit closer to what the Charonites set up
P20 Sergeant Weapons Changed to reflect Aux Sarge Weapons, Banner changed to 5
P21 same as above
P22 Same As above, Initial Grenadier Squad made 5 poitns cheaper, all weapon options cheaper
P24 Milita Recon Squad
So we have the Sanctioner Cadre which (factoring in sniper rifles) for 10 points more is beyond better,
have reduced the shittier sniper rifle cost down to 15 points for the recon squd and have cheapened
vox/augury down to the Solar Aux 5s
P26 updated Aurox to follow the Solar Aux aurux, just removed the heavy flamer option (Why is it only
Transport 10?!)
P30 oh god, the poor arvus. I've changed the arvus' stats to reflect the travesty that is what they
released in Liber Imperium. I've kept the weapons on there, reduced their cost and gave them the good
ole jury-rigged weapons rules from yesteryear.
P32. Moved the thunderbolts stats across to what there is in the LI book. Not bothering rewriting
'Combat Interdiction' as its the same as Divisio Aeronautica Air Superiority. #calledit
P33 Reduced price of rapier battery by 5 points base. Changed weapon costings on quad mortar and
laser destroyer
P34 just lazy-copied the weapon options across for the Malcador
P35 Leman Ruses, just changing their point costs up a bit to reflect the cost increase in LI. Gonna say
though, got a lot of this stuff spot on haha
p39 Stormhammer Changed to reflect LI
P40 Baneblade shimmied to reflect Stormhammer
