Codex: Space Marines Special Rules

The special rules detailed on this page apply to most Space Marine units. Special rules exclusive to units and characters are detailed on their pages. A host of special rules are also included in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook. And They Shall Know No Fear Space Marines automatically past tests to regroup, and can take such tests even if the squad has been reduced to less than half strength by casulties, though all other criteria apply. Usually troops that regroup cannot move normally and always count as moving whether they do or not, but these restrictions to do not apply to models subject to And They Shall Know No Fear. If Space Marines are caught by a sweeping advance, they are not destroyed and will instead continue to fight normally. If this happens, then the unit is subject to the No Retreat! rule in the round of close combat and might therefore suffer additional casulties. Servitors do not benefit from this special rule if there is no Techmarine or Space Marine independent character leading the unit. Combat Squads 10-man units with this special rule have the option of breaking down into two 5-man units, called Combat Squads. The decision to split the unit into combat squads, as well as which models go into each combat squad, must be made BEFORE the unit is deployed (therefore units arriving from reserves must combat-squad BEFORE arrival this is a change from the existing rules). Both combat squads can be deployed in separate locations. If you decide to split a unit into combat squads, then each squad is treated as a separate unit for all game purposes from that point on. If an ability is purchased for a unit as part of a Chapter Tactic (such as Scouts, for Shadow of the Emperor), then it applies for the entire unit, even if split into combat squads; as it is purchased before deployment. Combat Tactics Any Space Marine unit can choose to automatically fail any morale tests they are required to take, subsequently benefiting from And They Shall Know No Fear. Furthermore, any Space Marine unit equipped with a Boltgun, Bolt Pistol or Storm Bolter (including the Boltgun in combi-weapons) may benefit from one of the following abilities, selected at the beginning of each game turn: - May count as having remained stationary for the purposes of firing one of the above weapons. - May re-roll any failed to-hit roll if they remain stationary when firing one of the above weapons (note: this DOES NOT work under the Relentless special rule, but DOES work under the Slow and Purposeful special rule). Furthermore, this does not work in tandem with the ability of being able to count-as stationary, as described above. These abilities do not work on a turn when the unit has just regrouped. If a Chapter Tactic is taken by a Captain, then ALL models with Combat Tactics (except a Legion of the Damned Squad) instead benefit from a Chapter Tactic (see overleaf); replacing the Combat Tactics special rule (for all units, minus Legion of the Damned). Whereas if a Chapter Master is taken, all models benefit from both the Chapter Tactic and Combat Tactics.

Chapter Tactics
Chapter Tactics may REPLACE Combat Tactics if selected by a Captain, whilst Chapter Tactics may be taken IN ADDITION to Combat Tactics if selected by a Chapter Master. An army can only benefit from a single Chapter Tactic; if there would be two (for example, if two Unique Characters are taken), then one must be selected, of the owning players choice. The Chapter Tactics are as follows, providing the following benefits: Astartes Embodied
Any Sergeant of any type in the army may use the Chapter Master/Captains Leadership (of 10). This army adds +1 to the roll to determine which player gets First Turn.

Punish the Weak

3 non-vehicle units gain Bionics, benefiting every model in the unit. Additional nonvehicle units may select Bionics for 25pts perunit.

3 non-vehicle units gain the Scouts special rule. Additional non-vehicle units may select the Scouts special rule for 20pts per-unit.

Fires of Battle
3 non-vehicle units may elect (at the beginning of the owning players turn, each turn) to operate as Slow and Purposeful when using Boltguns, Storm Bolters and Bolt Pistols (including the Boltgun in combi-weapons), this does not affect models not firing the above weapons, who would still have to follow the same movement constraints. Therefore, Heavy Weapons must still remain stationairy to be fired. Additional non-vehicle units may select this ability for 20pts per-unit. All Template (not blast!) Weapons count as twin-linked. This includes the Avenger psychic power.

Exemplar: Raven Guard

Hammer of Terra

Assault of the Astartes

3 non-vehicle units gain the Furious Charge special rule. Additional non-vehicle units may select the Furious Charge special rule for 20pts per-unit. All Space Marines (including the Sergeant) in a Tactical Squad receive a close combat weapon, on top of their existing equipment, for no additional cost.

Exemplar: Carcharodons
Armoured Assault
Predators (of any variant) may be taken as a Fast Attack choice and Land Raiders (Phobos, Crusader or Redeemer patterns) may instead be selected as a Dedicated Transport by any unit that may (otherwise) select a Rhino as a dedicated transport, following the rules and points costs described in the Land Raiders respective entries. Each turn, a single vehicle in the Heavy Support slot may re-roll any failed to-hit roll , selected at the beginning of that shooting phase. Additionally, all vehicles selected from the Heavy Support slot gain the Repair special rule (see page 37).

Exemplar: Blood Ravens

Orbital Invasion
3 units count as having all weapons as Twinlinked on the turn they arrive from a via Drop Pod Assault (i.e. In a Drop Pod).

Psychic Powers
Avenger:
Avenger is a Psychic Shooting Attack with the following profile: Range: Template Strength: * AP: 3 Assault 1.

*The Strength value of Avenger is D6 + the Librarians remaining number of wounds.

Force Dome:
Cast at the beginning of the movement phase, and lasting until the owning players subsequent turn, all ranged attacks against a friendly model within 6 of the Librarian count as AP -. This does not affect psychic powers.

Gate of Infinity:
Cast in the owning players movement phase, Gate of Infinity allows the Librarian and any unit he leads to Deep Strike anywhere on the board, if they Deep Strike somewhere on the board within direct line of sight of their original position then they scatter D6 inches, rather than the usual 2D6. The unit may not use locator beacons with Gate of Infinity. If a 1 or double-1 is rolled on the scatter dice, then a single model in the unit takes an automatic wound, with no saves allowed.

Machine Curse:
Machine Curse is a psychic shooting attack requiring to-hit as usual with a 12 range. Any hit vehicle suffers an automatic glancing hit. If the psychic test was passed on a double, this instead inflicts an automatic penetrating hit. These hits count as AP1 and automatically inflict a Crew Shaken result, on top of any other damage result from the glancing/penetrating hit. This has no effect on non-vehicle units.

Might of the Ancients:

Cast in the owning players assault phase and lasting for the duration of that turn, Might of the Ancients doubles the Librarians strength.

Null Zone:
Any successful enemy invulnerable save passed within 18 must be re -rolled.

Smite:
Smite is a Psychic Shooting Attack with the following profile: Range: 24 Strength: 4 AP: 6 Assault 7.

Vortex of Doom:
Vortex of Doom is a Psychic Shooting Attack with the following profile: Range: 12 Strength: * AP: 1 Assault 1, Large blast. Any model under the blast template suffers a wound on a D6 roll of 2+, suffering Instant Death on a roll of 6 with no saves allowed. Vehicles suffer a penetrating hit on a 4+, counting as AP1 on a roll of 6. If the Librarian suffers a perils of the warp attack, centre the blast template over the librarian; this will not scatter.

Wrath of the Emperor:

Wrath of the Emperor may be cast in the assault phase. When cast, place a large blast marker centred on the Librarian. All enemy models under the blast marker take a single Strength 3, AP2 hit and are at -1 initiative for the duration of the assault phase (to a minimum of 1).

*Blessing of the Omnissiah:

If a Techmarine is in base contact with a damaged vehicle in the Shooting Phase, he can attempt to repair any Immobilised or Weapon Destroyed result instead of firing a weapon. Roll a D6, adding +1 if equipped with a Servo-harness and for each Servitor equipped with a Servo-arm in his unit. If the result is 5 or more then either a weapon destroyed or immobilised result (of the owning players choice) will be repaired/removed. If a weapon destroyed result is repaired, that weapon may be fired in the subsequent shooting phase. A Techmarine cannot repair a vehicle if he is pinned, has gone to ground or is falling back. Furthermore, he counts as in basecontact if embarked in a vehicle and can therefore attempt to repair a vehicle he is embarked in.

*Bolster Defences:
For each unit with the Bolster Defences special rule, a single defence feature can be bolstered, selected during deployment. Nominate one ruin, barricade, wall, building, trench, gun pit, emplacement or sandbags terrain feature in your deployment area; this terrain/defence features cover save is increased by 1 for the duration of the game. A defence/terrain feature can be bolstered multiple times to a maximum of a 3+ cover save. For example, a normal ruin when bolstered would provide a 3+ cover save, rather than the usual 4+.

*Mindlock:
At the start of the owning players turn, each Servitor unit in the army must test for Mindlock. Roll a D6, if the result is a 4+ then the Servitors may function normally for the rest of the turn. If the result is a 1, 2 or 3 then the unit may not move shoot or assault that turn, although they will fight normally in close combat if already engaged. This rule has no effect providing a Techmarine or Master of the Forge is still in the unit.

Special Ammunition only applies to Bolt Weapons (Boltguns, Bolt Pistols, Storm Bolters; including the Bolter built-into combi-weapons) and therefore affects no other weapons. If a model is equipped with Special Ammunition, they gain all four ammunition types (Dragonfire, Hellfire, Kraken, and Vengeance), otherwise, individual types of special ammunition may be purchased such as by Deathwatch Kill Teams or Individual Characters with the model(s) gaining that specific type of special ammunition. Hellfire rounds have a specific profile for when used with Heavy Bolters, as shown above and are the only type of special ammunition compatible with Heavy Bolters. Models equipped with special ammunition are able to select which Special Ammunition type to use in each [separate] shooting phase (or may use the weapons standard profile). The entire unit (excluding Independent Characters) must use the same ammunition type in each shooting phase. Therefore a Sternguard Veteran Squad may use Dragonfire Bolts in one shooting phase and Vengeance Rounds in the next, for example.

*Weapons marked by a single asterisk have multiple fire modes; the fire mode must be chosen each time it is fired. **Progressive Fire: The Heavy Bolter adds +1 to its rate of fire for every 12 less than its maximum range its fired at: therefore if fired at 24 it counts as a Heavy 4 weapon. ***Manstopper: The Shotgun may re-roll any failed to-wound roll if fired at 6 or less. ****Sniper: When targeting non-vehicle models, a Sniper-weapons strength is its base strength + the to-hit roll. Therefore, on a to-hit roll of 4, the Sniper Rifle would strike at Strength 7. This can still rend and cause instant death.

Armoury and Wargear

Adamantine Cuirass
A model equipped with an Adamantine Cuirass does not suffer instant death if wounded by a weapon whose strength is at least twice the characters toughness; taking a single wound instead.

Combi-weapon
A model equipped with a combi-weapon (either a Combi-plasma gun OR Combi-meltagun OR Combiflamer) can choose to fire the bolter or the secondary weapon, each with their usual profile (see page 53). The Bolter can be fired any number of times, but the secondary weapon can only be fired once per battle (a combi-plasma gun can rapid fire). You cannot fire both weapons in the same turn.

Anti-ward
An Anti-ward confers a 3+ invulnerable save to the user.

Armaplas Plating
Any ranged weapon with the Gets Hot! or Melta special rule, or a flame/heat based template (not blast!) weapon - such as Flamers, Heavy Flamers,

Digital Weapons
A model equipped with Digital Weapons may re-roll a single to-wound roll in each assault phase.

Flamestorm Cannons, Hellfire Cannons, Hand Flamers, Scorchas, Burnas, Incinerators, Inferno Cannons, Dragons Breath Flamers etc. - is at -1
Strength against a model equipped with Armaplas Plating

Frag Grenades
See the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.

Hellfire Housing
A model equipped with Hellfire Housing gains +1 attack. Furthermore, once per-game the Hellfire Housing can be activated to confer the ranged profile of a Flamer. Note: the +1 attack is permanent, the Flamer is a single-use weapon.

Artificer Armour
Artificer Armour confers a 2+ armour save.

Auspex
If an enemy unit makes a Scout or Infiltration move to within 24 and line of sight to a unit including a model with an Auspex, then that unit may take a fire upon/take a free shot at the enemy unit, out of sequence to the games usual turn sequence, but otherwise following the usual rules for shooting. This shooting is done at BS3 however.

Iron Halo
An Iron Halo confers a 4+ invulnerable save.

Jump Pack
Models with Jump Packs become the Jump Infantry unit type, may enter play via Deep Strike and gain the Angels of Death Special rule (see the Assault Marines entry on page 40).

Bionics
A model with Bionics gains the Feel No Pain special rule, operating on a 5+, rather than the usual 4+.

Krak Grenades
See the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.

Chapter Relic
A Chapter Relic may be activated once per-game (this may be in your opponents turn). When activated, all friendly Space Marine models within 12 gain the Counter-Attack special rule.

Locator Beacon
Any unit arriving via Deep Strike within 6 of a Locator Beacon does not scatter, whilst models Deep Striking due to Jump Packs scatter D6, rather than 2D6. This does not affect the Gate of Infinity Psychic Power.

Combat Shield
A Combat Shield confers a 5+ invulnerable save in close combat and does not count as a weapon for the purposes of determining additional attacks.

Meltabombs
See the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.

57

Master-Craft Weapons
If a weapon is Master Crafted, the bearer may re-roll one failed to-hit roll per turn when using the weapon. Any number of weapons may be mastercrafted for their listed cost. Grenades may not be master-crafted.

Servo Harness
A Servo Harness gives the model a plasma cutter (fired in the Shooting Phase as a twin-linked plasma pistol, but conferring no bonus in close combat) and a flamer. In the shooting phase, either both Servoharness weapons may be fired, or one servo-harness weapon and any other weapon. The Servo Harness also incorporates an additional Servo-arm, therefore providing 2 Servo Arm attacks per assault phase.

Orbital Strike Beacon

Once per game an Orbital Strike Beacon may be activated, treated as a normal ranged weapon. An Orbital Strike Beacon does not need to roll to hit, but always scatters the full 2D6, without a reduction for ballistic skill. If a hit is rolled with the scatter dice, it scatters in the direction indicated by the small arrow on the hit symbol.

Signum
If a unit includes a model with a Signum, instead of firing his own weapon(s), a model with a Signum may allow a single other model in that unit may fire as if BS5.

Power Armour
Power Armour confers a 3+ armour save.

Space Marine Bike

Models with a Space Marine Bike become the Bikes unit type as described in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook. Furthermore, Space Marine Bikes are fitted with a twin-linked Bolter and confer +1 Toughness.

Psychic Hood
Declare that you will use the psychic hood after an enemy model within 24 of a model with a psychic hood passes a psychic test (only one Librarian may activate a psychic hood for each enemy psychic test). Each player then rolls a D6 and adds their models leadership value to the score. If the Space Marine players score is higher, then the enemy psychic power is nullified and does not take effect that turn. If the opposing models score is equal-to or higher, then the psychic power is cast as normal. The psychic hood can be used once each time an enemy model uses a psychic power within range.

Storm Shield
A model with a Storm Shield gains a 3+ invulnerable save in close combat and a 5+ invulnerable save against any ranged attacks. However, a model with a Storm Shield cannot gain the +1 attack bonus for being armed with two close combat weapons.

Terminator Armour
Models in Terminator Armour gain a 2+ armour save, a 5+ invulnerable save and the Relentless and Deep Strike special rules. However, models in Terminator Armour may not perform a sweeping advance and count as two models for the purpose of transport capacity. Furthermore, models in Terminator Armour cannot embark Rhinos or Razorbacks.

Rosarius
A Rosarius confers a 4+ invulnerable save.

Scout Armour
Scout Armour confers a 4+ armour save. Only models in Scout armour may embark Land Speeder Storms.

Servo Arm
A Servo arm grants the model a single extra close combat attack, made separately at Initiative 1, Strength 8 and ignoring armour saves. Only one attack may be made by a servo-arm per assaultphase. Servitors equipped with a Servo Arm also confer a bonus to the Blessing of the Omnissiah rule.

Tower Shield
A model with a Tower Shield may choose to move as if in difficult terrain, in which case they gain a 2+ armour save against ranged attacks. However, a model with a Tower Shield cannot gain the +1 attack bonus for being armed with two close combat weapons and may not run in the shooting phase. Only an Infantry-type model may use a Tower Shield.

58

Vehicle Armoury
Dozer Blade
Vehicles equipped with a Dozer Blade may re-roll a failed difficult terrain test.

Hunter-killer Missile
A Hunter-killer missile is a Krak missile with unlimited range that can be used once per-game. They are fired at BS4 and are treated as an additional weapon. Furthermore, Hunter-killer Missiles always strike a vehicles side-armour, no matter the direction it is fired from.

Extra Armour
Vehicles equipped with extra armour count crew stunned results on the vehicle damage table as a crew shaken result instead.

Frag Assault Launcher

Any Walker with a Frag Assault Launcher counts as having Assault and Defensive Grenades. Furthermore, any unit that initiates an assault on the turn they disembark from a vehicle equipped with Frag Assault Launchers also counts as having Frag Grenades.

Searchlight
Searchlights are used where the night-fighting rule is in effect. If a vehicle has a searchlight it must still use the night-fighting rules to pick a target but, having acquired the target, will illuminate it with the searchlight. For the rest of the owning players shooting phase, any other unit that fires at the illuminated unit does not use the night fighting special rule. However, a vehicle that uses a searchlight can be targeted during the following enemy turn as if the night fighting rules were not in effect.

Siege Shield
A Vehicle with a Siege Shield automatically passes any difficult terrain tests. Furthermore, any hits against that vehicles front armour suffer a -1 modifier when rolling for armour penetration.

Smoke Launchers
See the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.

Designers Reasoning
Here I will try and somewhat explain my reasoning (or attempts at) behind my design of the Codex and the changes made in cases that I feel may warrant a comment on why changes were made. Nonetheless, feedback, questions and comments are always welcome. Combat Tactics
Combat Tactics has been changed with one main aim in mind; to make a standard, Bolter-armed Space Marine more valuable and a Tactical Marine more deserving of his cost. Combat Tactics serves to exemplify the abilities of Space Marines and the tactical flexibility promoted in the Codex Astartes and Tactical Squads themselves. A flexible, but (hopefully) not too powerful addition, the changes to Chapter Tactics should hopefully reflect the above intentions and detract from a special-weapon-delivery ethos to some squad designs.

Chapter Tactics
Chapter Tactics has been included as a way of allowing the player to customise their army and reflect their Chapter, without requiring Special Characters, whilst also serving to make Chapter Masters and Captains more viable choices. A method of set Chapter Tactics was chosen instead of Traits (as used in a previous Space Marine Codex) as I felt traits could be too abusive, with people simply selecting the most powerful. You may note that there are no-to-few restrictions within Chapter Tactics and the Codex as a whole (such as not allowing White Scars to take Dreadnoughts); one of my key design ethos (as may be shown in my other works) is to give the player the means to customise their army, but not force it upon them; principally through a wide and viable army list, supported by special rules (such as Chapter Tactics and Company Masters) that can give the army a nudge in the right direction and provide the means to customise, but not force it upon them or restrict them.

Special Characters
Most of the special characters and their changes should be fairly self-explanatory, often providing another level of character to an army should the player desire it. I dont feel I should need to explain most changes to characters, but Ill note that Pedro Kantor has been adjusted to try and fit a Chapter Master role, rather than a mere Captains level; providing lots of force-multiplication benefits. Furthermore, Lysander has lost a bit of his beat-stick abilities, in order to better influence the army as a whole. Finally, some may balk at the changes made to Vulkan, fearing hes been nerfed. If anything, Vulkan should be more powerful; with Fires of Battle affecting more weapons, as well as his array of equipment and new rules. Furthermore, I felt Twin-linking Melta-weapons to be too powerful; with these already being very powerful, prevalent and often cheap weapons.

Head Quarters
The Chapter Master and Captain have been (hopefully) made more viable through being the key to Chapter Tactics and therefore operating as force-multipliers as well as their usual close combat abilities. Furthermore, there are a greater range of wargear and command squads available to improve their flexibility, whilst Company Masters can reflect the capacities of specific Space Marine companies. Finally, Chaplains are more flexible and efficient, whilst Librarians are as good as theyve always been, but with hopefully all psychic powers being viable choices.

Terminators
Some minor re-working of Terminators has taken place. I felt Storm Shields were too effective for both their cost and ability to stop ranged weapons (considering its just a shield), so these have been slightly toned down. Tactical Terminators have gained special ammunition, again to make them less of a special-weapon delivery unit and increase the potential damage output of the typical Terminator.

60

Stalker Veteran Squad

These guys are to fill the niche of a stealth-orientated veteran squad meaning that Scouts arent the only stealth unit in the Codex requiring a certain level of finesse, but hopefully still hitting hard.

Deathwatch Kill Team

Deathwatch are a popular unit that people often want included in the Codex or as a Codex of their own. Here they operate like Sternguard, but superior in close combat and more specialised in regards to ranged attacks.

Tactical Squads
Often criticised for being of little use other than providing scoring, power-armoured bodies, Tactical Squads are [tactically] more flexible through Combat Tactics and special weapons being available at 5-men. However, theyre still too expensive to encourage Razorspam and somewhat vulnerable in assault.

Scout Squads
BS4/WS4 increases the Scout Squads damage output in shooting and close combat and reflects their natural abilities and levels of experience similar to Imperial Guard veterans. A Targetting Laser is a new piece of wargear to help them contribute to the army, provide some unique abilities and improves the potential of Whirlwinds etc., but remains notably worse than a Markerlight.

Drop Pods
A common complaint of Drop Pod Assault is that it leaves your army split up and predictable. I have aimed to rectify this through Drop Pod Assault, which enables your units to arrive in a more player-controlled manner, also reducing the potential of units being left isolated for periods of the game.

Assault Marines
Assault Marines have been made better at (surprise, surprise) assaulting; through Angels of Death, which is intended to reflect the sheer weight of a Space Marine being propelled into an enemy. Blood Angels may lack this rule, but due to being troops and having more weapons, they act in a role more similar to Tactical Squads.

Land Speeder Tempest and Fireraptor Gunship

Both these units have been mentioned by Forgeworld (with the former being given rules), but have been included in the Codex to fit with the trend of fliers being released in Codices. Fireraptors also provide players a much-demanded use for the Stormraven, whilst remaining dissimilar.

Predators
Predators now come with Sponsons as standard (when was the last time a Predator didnt have sponsons, ingame or in the background?), with points adjustments made as needed and to encourage the pattern Predators, such as the anti-infantry destructor or anti-tank annihilator.

Land Raiders
The ordinary/Phobos Land Raider and Land Raider Redeemer have both been improved to justify their costs in comparison to the Crusader, whilst extra armour has been included as standard, being an almost mandatory upgrade before and reflecting the durability of the Land Raider and their being an investment.

Ranged Weapons
Heavy Bolters, Shotguns and Sniper Rifles have all needed an improvement. Heavy Bolters seem to be rarely be taken due to their own qualities as a weapon, but rather because theyre cheap or the standard weapon; Progressive Fire aims to make them more viable and reflect their sheer rate of fire, but not be overpowered if applied to other Codices. Shotguns and Sniper Rifles are now both better against infantry, as I feel they should be, with both staying true to their key tenets of close range and a good shot respectively.
