Liber Imperatus Militia Stuff

LIBER IMPERATUS:
Imperialis Militia
ARMIES OF DARK COMPLIANCE
In the years leading up to the Horus Heresy, hundreds of worlds had been secretly preparing for the onset of civil war and immediately declared for the
Warmaster. Despite the efforts of Horus’ agents, there were still hundreds more planets whose allegiance remained uncertain or steadfast in their loyalty to the
Emperor. Taken as a whole these worlds and systems comprised a considerable proportion of the Imperium’s military and material power, meaning their
capitulation was crucial to the longevity of the Traitor war machine on the Long March towards Terra. The campaigns to control these worlds became known
as Dark Compliances – a malevolent parody of the Great Crusade’s mission of liberation and enlightenment.
Even at the height of their strength, there had only been so many Legiones Astartes in the galaxy. Inevitably, the bulk of their number were deployed to the
most crucial and fiercely contested theatres of the war. As such, the occupation of worlds which had capitulated to Dark Compliance largely fell to armies of
mortal soldiers who served under the direct command of Traitor Legiones Astartes. Rarely did these officers place any value on life – save perhaps that of their
Astartes – and no cost was too high if it furthered the Warmaster’s goals. It was a glimpse of Horus’ ultimate vision for the Imperium, where mortals existed as
little more than fodder to be expended at the uncaring whims of their transhuman overlords.
As the Horus Heresy ground on, it was the Shattered Legions, Blackshields and other ad-hoc forces who most often clashed with the armies of Dark
Compliance that typically served as garrisons for important targets within Traitor-held systems. Further armies were, in turn, raised for the purpose of
pursuing these evasive guerrillas when greater numbers of Traitor Astartes could not be committed. Whether presenting ostensibly easy targets to lure in
vengeful Loyalists or pinning them down through sheer weight of numbers – quantity, as ever, proved to be its own kind of quality.
Armies of Dark Compliance are not selected in the usual fashion; instead of choosing models from a single Army List as is normally permitted, they
are constructed from units from several sources, and have their own Effects and Limitations that must be abided by. Armies constructed in this
fashion must be a Primary Detachment, using the Crusade Force Organisation Chart - a Primary Detachment selected in this fashion is then
referred to as an Army of Dark Compliance Detachment.
Effects
● An Army of Dark Compliance Detachment is chosen using units drawn from both the Legiones Astartes Army List and the Imperialis Militia
Army List.
● All units selected in a Detachment as part of an Army of Dark Compliance are treated as being of the same Faction for the purposes of all Core and
Special Rules, including but not limited to Wargear, Transports, Special Rules, and so on.
● An Army of Dark Compliance Detachment may not select any Legiones Astartes Rites of War, though an Imperialis Militia Force Commander
may select Provenances of War as normal.
● Any unit with the Militia Unit Sub-Type but without the Independent Character Special Rule may be given the Expendable Special Rule. Any unit
with the Expendable Special Rule loses the Line Unit Sub-Type if they had it.
● All models with the Legiones Astartes (X) Special Rule gain The Warmaster’s Due Special Rule.
The Warmaster’s Due

The Traitor Astartes who led Dark Compliances cared little for the mortal soldiery under their command, callously expending their lives in pursuit of the
Warmaster’s goals.
If a model with this Special Rule would receive a Cover Save due to Intervening Models and the intervening unit has any models with the Militia Unit
Sub-Type as part of the same Detachment, they may elect to receive a +1 bonus to their Cover Save, to a maximum of 4+. After all Saves and Damage
Mitigation Rolls are taken, if the bonus is claimed, then the Intervening unit immediately suffers D3+1 Wounds with no Saves of any kind or Damage
Mitigation Rolls allowed. These Wounds must be assigned to models with the Militia Unit Sub-Type first. Wounds inflicted this way are distributed
as if the enemy unit which the Cover Save had been claimed against had made a Shooting Attack against the Militia unit. When determining the unit
with the Militia Unit Sub-Type which will take these wounds, it should be the closest applicable unit to the firing unit which has the Shooting Attack
pass through it.
The bonus to Cover Saves provided by this Special Rule cannot be claimed against any weapon that does not roll To-Hit.
A model with this Special Rule may not join a unit containing any models with the Expendable Special Rule. In addition, models with the Expendable
Special Rule may not join a unit containing any models with this Special Rule.
Limitations
● An Army of Dark Compliance Detachment may only be selected in a Primary Detachment in an army using the Crusade Force Organisation
Chart.
● All units selected as part of an Army of Dark Compliance Detachment must have the same variant of the Legiones Astartes (X) Special Rule, and
the army cannot include an Allied Detachment from that same Faction. An Army of Dark Compliance otherwise counts as the Imperialis Militia
Sub-Faction of the Imperial Army Faction for the purposes of the Allies Matrix.
● An Army of Dark Compliance must have the Traitor Allegiance.
● An Army of Dark Compliance Detachment may not select a Primarch.
● A model with the Legiones Astartes (X) Special Rule must be selected as the army’s Warlord.
● An Army of Dark Compliance Detachment may never have more units with the Legiones Astartes (X) Special Rule than units with the Militia or
Third-Line Unit Sub-Types.
● Models with the Legiones Hereticus (X) Special Rule cannot be selected in an Army of Dark Compliance Detachment.

ADDITIONAL PROVENANCES OF WAR
The following list comprises additional Provenances of War that may be used by any Detachment that includes at least one model with the Muster
of Worlds Special Rule.
PROVENANCE OF WAR: ACOLYTES OF THE SAVIOUR EMPEROR

As reality itself was torn asunder and the lie of Imperial Truth was laid bare, many desperate souls clung to the belief that the Emperor was their divine
saviour. Preachers rallied newfound converts as soldiers prayed in their trenches and many would pay the martyr’s price before the end.
● This Provenance of War may only be selected by an army with the Loyalist Allegiance.
● All eligible units and models in a Detachment with this Provenance of War are immune to the effects of the Fear Special Rule, and gain the
Crusader and Hatred (Corrupted, Daemon) Special Rules.
● All Compulsory Troops Choices selected in a Detachment using this Provenance of War must have a Demagogue or Mounted Demagogue
assigned to them before the game begins. If multiple units are selected as part of the Strength in Numbers Special Rule, each separate unit must
have its own Demagogue or Mounted Demagogue assigned before the game begins.
● Imperialis Militia Discipline Master Cadres may not be chosen in a Detachment using this Provenance of War.
● Detachments with this Provenance of War are classed as having an Alliance level of one lever lower than normal by Detachments with any variant
of the Legiones Astartes Faction.
● This Provenance of War may not be chosen in conjunction with the Mark of the Aeldari Provenance of War.
PROVENANCE OF WAR: KNIGHT WORLD

Though the Knight suits found on some worlds were the primary fighting forces sequestered by the Great Crusade, they were often accompanied by their own
Household guards and troops. These troops were often well trained and conditioned by the feudal society of their world to obey all commands from their
steel-clad masters.
● If this Provenance of War is selected for the Primary Detachment of an Army, that army must include at least one unit with the Knight Sub-type,
either as part of a Questoris Household Detachment, Questoris Crusader Host Detachment, or a Lord of War Detachment. If this model is taken
in a Lord of War Detachment, it may select a Household Rank as if it were part of a Questoris Household or Questoris Crusader Host
Detachment.
● All models with the Milita Sub-type in a Detachment with this Provenance of War gain a bonus of +1 to their to-Hit rolls when making a Shooting
Attack in the Controlling Player’s Shooting Phase when they target an enemy unit that has been shot at earlier in the same Shooting phase by a
model with the Knight Sub-type.
● Detachments with this Provenance may take a single Armiger Helverin Talon or Armiger Warglaive Talon as a Heavy Support choice, however, if
selected in this manner, that unit loses the Armiger Talon Special Rule.
● Detachments with the Knight World Provenance of War treat units with the Armiger Unit Type or Knight Sub-type as though they were Sworn
Brothers on the Allies Matrix, and vice versa.
● For the purposes of unlocking Lords of War options when using an Aegis Militant Force Organisation Chart, a Detachment using this Provenance
of War allows a single model with the Knight Unit Sub-type to be selected as a Lord of War choice, as though this Detachment had the
Mechanicum Faction.
● This Provenance of War may not be chosen in conjunction with the Kinfolk Helots, Abhuman Muster, Ogryn Conscripts, or Ratling Enclave
Provenances of War.
PROVENANCE OF WAR: MARK OF THE AELDARI

Through manipulation, desperate circumstances, or outright enslavement, several human populations believed that the Aeldari were their allies – or at the
very least, a source of esoteric curios. It was the mission of the Great Crusade to liberate or destroy those in thrall to any division of the Aeldari, but in the
chaos of the Horus Heresy some alliances were rekindled - and new ones forged.
● Imperialis Militia Infantry Squads, Imperialis Militia Grenadier Squads, and Imperialis Militia Command Cadres in a Detachment with this
Provenance of War may exchange their Lasguns for Lasblasters for free.
● Imperialis Militia Grenadier Squads and Imperialis Militia Command Cadres in a Detachment with this Provenance of War may exchange their
Lasguns for Shuriken Catapults at a cost of +20 points per unit.
● Imperialis Militia Grenadier Squads and Imperialis Militia Command Cadres in a Detachment with this Provenance of War may exchange their
Laspistols for Shuriken Pistols at a cost of +10 points per unit.
● A Force Commander in a Detachment with this Provenance of War may exchange a Laspistol for a Shuriken Pistol for free, or a Fusion Pistol for
+10 points.
● Any model in a Detachment using this Provenance of War which is equipped with or has purchased Frag Grenades may exchange them for Plasma
Grenades at no additional points cost.
● Detachments with this Provenance of War are classed as Sworn Brothers with Aeldari Detachments of any Sub-faction. If this Provenance of War
is selected for an Allied Detachment, then the Imperialis Militia Detachment is counted as having the Xenos Allegiance even though they are not
normally permitted to select it, and may be selected as part of an army with a Primary Detachment composed of any Aeldari Sub-Faction.
● Detachments with this Provenance of War are classed as having an Alliance level of By The Emperor’s/Warmaster’s Command by Detachments
with any variant of the Legiones Astartes, Imperial Army, Agents of the Emperor, or Agents of the Warmaster Factions or Sub-factions, with the
sole exception of the Trader-Militant Sub-Faction, which is classed as having an Alliance level of Sworn Brothers.
● This Provenance of War may not be chosen in conjunction with the Debased Rabble, Tainted Flesh, or Acolytes of the Saviour Emperor
Provenances of War.
196
PROVENANCE OF WAR: MINING COLONY
Many militia regiments were raised from mining colonies, either worlds with valuable resources or systems with vast asteroid fields. Filled with rugged types,
many of the former miners repurposed their tools into weapons of war, being more familiar with the devices.
● All eligible units and models in a Detachment using this Provenance of War do not suffer the usual -1 penalty to their Ballistic Skill or Leadership
Characteristics inflicted by Night Fighting.
● Imperialis Militia Grenadier Squads in a Detachment with this Provenance of War may take a Militia Hades Breaching Drill or a Goliath Heavy
Vehicle (which must have been upgraded to have an Auxiliary Crew Bay) as a Dedicated Transport.
● Imperialis Militia Command Cadres in a Detachment with this Provenance of War may take a Militia Hades Breaching Drill or a Goliath Heavy
Vehicle as a Dedicated Transport.
● Any unit composed entirely of models with the Infantry Unit Type, and which do not also have the Monstrous or Mechanised Sub-type in a
Detachment using this Provenance of War may select up to two of the following options, in any combination (the same option may be selected
more than once):
● Heavy Rock Saw for +5 points per weapon.
● Heavy Rock Drill for +10 points per weapon.
● Heavy Rock Cutter for +15 points per weapon.
● Any unit composed entirely of models with the Infantry Unit Type in a Detachment using this Provenance of War may exchange a Heavy Stubber
with one of the following options:
● Seismic Cannon for +10 points per weapon.
● Mining Laser for +15 points per weapon.
● Any unit composed entirely of models with the Infantry Unit Type (including models with the Mechanised Sub-type) in a Detachment using this
Provenance of War may exchange a Lascannon with one of the following options:
● Heavy Seismic Cannon for no additional points cost.
● Heavy Mining Laser for no additional points cost.
PROVENANCE OF WAR: RATLING ENCLAVE

Several worlds were home to large populations of Ratling Abhumans who, despite their poor reputation as warriors, nonetheless found themselves pressed into
service on the frontlines, where many unassuming Ratlings garnered a reputation as excellent marksmen.
● All models in a Detachment with this Provenance of War with either the Infantry or Cavalry Unit Types receive an increase of +1 to their Ballistic
Skill and Initiative Characteristics, but also lower their Movement, Weapon Skill, Strength, and Toughness Characteristics by -1 (to a minimum of
1). Models with a Movement of 0 or - are not affected and remain Movement 0 or -. Imperialis Militia Ratling Squads do not have their
Characteristics modified by this Provenance of War.
● A Detachment with this Provenance of War may select Imperialis Militia Ratling Squads as Troops choices.
● Imperialis Militia Force Commanders in a Detachment with this Provenance of War may take a Longlas or Sniper Rifle for +10 points.
● Detachments with this Provenance of War are classed as Distrusted Allies by all Detachments with any variant of the Legiones Astartes Faction, or
the Solar Auxilia Sub-faction.
● This Provenance may not be chosen in conjunction with the Kinfolk Helots, Ogryn Conscripts, or Knight World Provenances of War.
PROVENANCE OF WAR: TRAILBLAZERS

A number of the Imperium’s worlds were over-abundant in vegetation, or held sparse populations who were required to fight conservatively. Militias raised
from these planets were often formed around a core of light infantry; sharpshooters and rangers who were trained to outmanoeuvre superior forces.
● Imperialis Militia Reconnaissance Squads in a Detachment with this Provenance of War lose the Support Squad Special Rule, and gain the Line
Sub-Type.
● Imperialis Militia Reconnaissance Squads in a Detachment with this Provenance of War increase their Ballistic Skill Characteristic by +1 (to a
maximum of 4).
● Any number of models in Imperialis Militia Command Cadres and Imperialis Militia Grenadier Squads in a Detachment with this Provenance of
War may exchange their Lasgun for a Longlas or Sniper Rifle for +10 points per model.
● This Provenance may not be chosen in conjunction with the Debased Rabble or Voidborne Raiders Provenances of War.
PROVENANCE OF WAR: VOIDBORNE RAIDERS

Some militias, either by virtue of having inherited a system-wide reach from their glory days or else driven by the grim necessity of interstellar piracy, became
experts in boarding operations and close quarters combat. In such deadly confines, the ability to survive sudden ambushes and deadly melees was far more
valuable than swift mobility.
● All models with the Infantry Unit Type in a Detachment with this Provenance of War gain the Heavy Sub-type, and lose the Light Sub-type if they
had it.
● Imperialis Militia Force Commanders included in a Detachment with this Provenance of War which have not been upgraded to a Mounted Force
Commander may select a Boarding Shield at no additional points cost.
● Any model with the Infantry Unit Type and the Character Sub-type in a Detachment using this Provenance of War may select a Boarding Shield
for +5 points.
● All models with the Infantry Unit Type in an Imperialis Militia Command Cadre or Imperialis Militia Grenadier Squad in a Detachment using this
Provenance of War may select Boarding Shields for +25 points.
● All models in an Imperialis Militia Infantry Squad in a Detachment using this Provenance of War may take Combat Shields for +20 points.

consequence of this ritual,
however, all Astropaths were

performed and rarity of their

Astropaths serving as part of
the Excertus Imperialis to ever

would sometimes see Militia
commanders directly assign

The Hades Breaching Drill ● Melta Cutters ● Subterranean Assault
was ostensibly a piece of ● Follow-up Attack
civilian mining equipment
militarised for use on the
battlefields of the Great
Crusade. The Hades Drill was
equipped with four large
powercutters which enabled it
to easily bore through the
earth and a set of melta-
cutters to reduce stubborn
rock to liquid slag. While far
from subtle, the speed at
which it could undermine
enemy defences made it
popular among certain
inventive Militia units.
Unlike its larger and more

advanced cousin, the Termite,
Hades Drills were not large
enough to carry troops
directly into battle. Instead
those units assigned to its
deployment would follow
directly behind the drill as it
cleared a path to the surface.
Those foes who were not
caught by the drill itself were
left disorientated by crashing
waves of flying rock and dust,
vulnerable to the troops
emerging from the ground to
overwhelm them.

others spoke to the seemingly

consistent factor in their
creation was the
overabundance of Warp-

their origin, which mercifully

ARMOURY OF THE IMPERIUM
The units that form the various sub-factions in this document have access to a number of new Weapons - these can be found below. These function
in addition to the Weapons found in other Horus Heresy publications, and operate under the broader Rules and Conventions laid out in the
Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness Core Rulebook.
RANGED WEAPONS
Adrathic Weapons
Whilst insanely potent, Adrathic weapons were not widely disseminated across the armies of the Imperium, instead remaining only the
purview of the Legio Custodes and Silent Sisterhood - for their terrible ability to tear asunder the very form of an enemy in an explosive
bloom of power was deemed to dangerous for any but the guardians of the Emperor to possess.
All weapons listed here are counted as ‘Adrathic’ weapons for those rules that affect such weapons.

Thudd Launcher 12 - 60“ 5 5 Heavy 1, Massive Blast (7”), Barrage, Shred, Restricted Trajectory
Auto Weapons
Making use of an innovation used since the dawn of large-scale warfare, auto-weapons used a chemical reaction to propel solid-shot
ammunition at rapid velocities - though more uncommon variations, such as mag-lev impellers, were also occasionally found in the
armouries of the Age of Darkness.
All weapons listed here are counted as ‘Auto’ weapons for those rules that affect such weapons.

Bolt Weapons
The mass-reactive rounds ejected by these weapons were feared by man and xenos both - for the explosive demise they promised to their
targets was often brutal and bloody.
All weapons listed here are counted as ‘Bolt’ weapons for those rules that affect such weapons.

Avenger Bolt Cannon 36“ 6 3 Heavy 7
Gravis Bolt Cannon 48“ 5 4 Heavy 6, Twin-Linked

Conversion Beam Weapons

Usually reserved for the most elite echelons of the Imperial warmachine, these strange devices fire beams of blinding light which power the
further they travel. In the era of the Horus Heresy many of these delicate devices have had to undergo field repair unbefitting of their storied
history, and as such these cast offs find themselves in the hands of lesser member of the conflict.
All weapons listed here are counted as ‘Conversion Beam’ weapons for those rules that affect such weapons. An attack made with a Conversion Beam
Weapon has a number of different profiles, the use of which depends upon how far the chosen target is from the attacking model up to the weapon’s
maximum range. When attacking with one of these weapons measure the distance to the target, place the weapon’s Blast template and scatter as
normal for a blast weapon. Once the final location of the template has been determined, measure to the centre of the Blast marker and consult the
weapon’s chart to determine the effect.

Disintegrator Weapons
Whilst the secrets for reproducing these accursed weapons had long been lost by the dawning of the Great Crusade, some examples of this
foul technology still remained in use during the Horus Heresy.
All weapons listed here are counted as ‘Disintegrator’ weapons for those rules that affect such weapons.

Disintegrator 24“ 5 2 Rapid Fire, Instant Death, Gets Hot
Disintegrator Pistol 12“ 5 2 Pistol 1, Instant Death, Gets Hot
Flame Weapons
Varied were the type of flame weapons the armies of mankind brought to bear upon their enemies, but all invariably left horrifically-charred
corpses in their wake.
All weapons listed here are counted as ‘Flame’ weapons for those rules that affect such weapons.

Conflagration Projector Template 6 4 Heavy 1, Torrent (18”), Breaching (6+), Concussive (1)
Flamestorm Cannon Template 6 4 Heavy 1, Torrent (18“)
Gravis Heavy Flamer Template 6 4 Heavy 1, Torrent (8“)
Infernus Firepike Template 6 4 Heavy 1, Torrent (9“)
Toxiferran Flamer Template 4 5 Assault 1, Poisoned (3+), Rending (6+)
Graviton Weapons
Esoteric and shrouded in myth, even by the standards of Imperial weapons, these devices created pockets of gravitational anomalies which
short-circuited machinery and pulped organic matter.
All weapons listed here are counted as ‘Graviton’ weapons for those rules that affect such weapons.

Graviton Annihilator 48“ * 3 Ordnance 1, Large Blast (5”), Gravitic Implosion*, Haywire,
Concussive (2)

Grenade Weapons
Designed to fire small, canister-style cartridges that exploded on impact, these weapons had changed little in thousands of years - though
their munitions had been improved many times over.

Balistus Grenade Launcher
- Frag 18“ 3 6 Assault 1, Blast (3”), Pinning, Shell Shock (1)
- Krak 18“ 6 4 Assault 2, Concussive (1)

- Krak 24“ 6 4 Assault 1
- Psyk-Out 24“ 4 - Assault 1, Blast (3"), Psy-Shock
Guardian Weapons
Whilst the more common variants of Guardian weapons were seen in the hands of most of the Legio Custodes, some rarer variants existed -
and these unusual weapons were largely confined to special formations of even that elite group.
Unlike most weapons, Guardian weapons always have several profiles, one for when making a Shooting Attack with the weapon and one for use in
combat. The Shooting profile must be used when the weapon attacks as part of any Shooting Attack, and the Melee profile must be used when a
model makes attacks with that weapon when resolving an Assault (though any Shooting Attacks made during the Assault phase, such as the
Overwatch Reaction, still use the Shooting profile). The ‘Shooting’ profiles from the Tempest Spear listed here is counted as a ‘Las’ weapon for those
rules that affect such weapons. The Melee profile for the Tempest Spear is counted as a ‘Power’ weapon, but may not be selected by models that are
eligible to select a generic Power Weapon.
Tempest Spear
- Shooting 12“ 8 1 Heavy 1, Lance, Exoshock (6+)
- Melee - +1 2 Melee, Two-Handed, Reaping Blow (1)
Harpoon Weapons
These huge, thorned harpoons were launched at terminal velocity, their powered fields allowing them to punch through almost any target
with horrifying ease.

Impaler Harpoon 12“ 6 3 Heavy 1, Impale
Industrial Gear
Certain pieces of heavy equipment designed for civilian purposes – usually mining and excavation – could be turned against living targets
with little, if any modification.

Storm-Welder 12“ 6 5 Heavy 3, Gets Hot, Rending (5+)
296
Las Weapons
The favoured weapons of many forces within the Excertus Imperialis, Las weapons fired high-powered beams of light at foes. With reliability,
sheer stopping power, and powerful rechargeable energy cells, there was little wonder billions of these weapons rolled out of forges across the
galaxy during the Great Crusade and well into the Horus Heresy.
All weapons listed here are counted as ‘Las’ weapons for those rules that affect such weapons.
Hot-Shot Lasgun 18“ 3 3 Rapid Fire
Hot-Shot Laspistol 9“ 3 3 Pistol 1

Ranger Long-Rifle 48“ 5 4 Heavy 1, Sniper, Rending (5+), Pinning
Melta Weapons
These weapons projected a beam of searing power so immensely hot that armour and flesh trickled and burned like wax in their path.
All weapons listed here are counted as ‘Melta’ weapons for those rules that affect such weapons.

Melta Cannon 24“ 8 1 Heavy 3, Armourbane (Melta)
Gravis Melta Cannon 24“ 8 1 Heavy 2, Armourbane (Melta), Twin-Linked
Fusion Gun 12“ 8 1 Assault 1, Armourbane (Melta)
Fusion Pistol 8“ 8 1 Pistol 1, Armourbane (Melta)
297
Missile Weapons
Whether firing ‘dumb’ ballistics with rocket motors, or targeted warheads that chased down a target, missile weaponry could be used for
anything from anti-infantry duty to tank hunting - provided the correct munitions were used.
All weapons listed here are counted as ‘Missile’ weapons for those rules that affect such weapons.
*A Manticore Missile Launcher may only fire a single Missile it is equipped with as part of any Shooting Attack it makes.

Vratine Rotary Missile Launcher 48“ 8 2 Heavy 2, Exoshock (6+), Ignores Cover, Twin-Linked, Psy-Shock
Needle Weapons
Ejecting a volley of tiny slivers of toxin-coated shards at incredible velocity, these weapons could lay low enemies with the sheer potent
virulency of their ammunition - though against armoured targets, they often clattered harmlessly as they failed to reach the flesh of their
target.
All weapons listed here are counted as ‘Needle’ weapons for those rules that affect such weapons.

Needle Cavalcade 30“ 2 - Heavy 6, Poisoned (3+), Pinning

Phosphex Weapons
The crawling, emerald flames of these weapons seemed alive, seeking victims to consume by movement alone.

Irad-Cleanser Template 2 5 Assault 1, Fleshbane, Rad-phage
Lucifex 8“ 2 5 Pistol 1, Fleshbane, Rad-phage

Capable of unleashing prodigious quantities of entangling shred-nets, these weapons could immobilise targets in seconds - allowing for those
key to the Emperor’s plans who refused to come quietly to be retrieved with ease…

Heavy Snare Cannon 24“ 7 - Heavy 6, Entangle (2)
Seismic Weapons
Operating on a similar principle to the Transonic weapons hoarded by the Mechanicum, these tools projected a cone of sheer force that
pulverised whatever stood before them - equally at home pounding rock to dust as flesh to paste.

Transonic Weapons
Designed to emit great waves of sonic force, these weapons blasted apart armoured targets with resonant frequencies - whilst those of the
flesh struck by them simply disintegrated into bloody matter and bone.
All weapons listed here are counted as ‘Transonic’ weapons for those rules that affect such weapons.

Transonic Cannon 9“ 4 2 Heavy 1, Blast (3”), Sonic Pulse, Armourbane (Ranged), Pinning,
Ignores Cover
Shuriken Weapons
Rather than the crude ammunition of other races, shuriken weapons fired bladed disks at supersonic velocities to shred their targets.

Shuriken Catapult 18“ 4 5 Assault 2, Breaching (6+)
Shuriken Pistol 12“ 4 5 Pistol 1, Breaching (6+)
299
Volkite Weapons
Ancient beyond measure, Volkite formed part of the Imperial war machine since before it earned the name, and both new and experimental
variants of these ray-weapons found their ways into forces on both sides of the heresy as material and manpower stretched needs thin.
All weapons listed here are counted as ‘Volkite’ weapons for those rules that affect such weapons.
Volkite Caliver 30“ 6 5 Heavy 3, Deflagrate
Volkite Curtall 45“ 8 3 Ordnance 1, Heavy Beam, Deflagrate, Pinning

Exotic and Miscellaneous Weapons of the Imperium

Some weapons found in the Imperial armouries were so unique in form and aspect that they composed a class all of their own.
The Adrastus ‘Disintegrator’ is counted as an ‘Adrathic’ and ‘Disintegrator’ weapon and has two separate profiles. In each Phase where a Shooting
Attack may be made by a model with an Adrastus Bolt Caliver, only one of these profiles may be used to attack with, chosen by the Controlling
Player.

as they contact enemies, searing flesh and burning circuits alike.
All weapons listed here are counted as ‘Arc’ weapons for those rules that affect such weapons.
Taser Goad - +2 - Melee, Overload (6+)
Chain Weapons
Infamous for their ability to tear through flesh and the resulting eruption of gore, chain weapons were composed of razor-edged blades given

Power Packs
Power Packs were equipped by ranking Kinfolk for mining and salvage operations. Worn on the back, these devices were not dissimilar to
servo-arms. They mounted pairs of tools that aided the user in their role – whether carving through rock and stone, or driving back attackers.
A model with a Power Pack may make one additional attack in the Shooting Phase or Assault Phase for each incorporated weapon,
using the profiles shown below. A model equipped with a weapon selected as part of a Power Pack with a Melee profile makes a
single additional attack with each, but cannot allocate any additional attacks to those profiles. A Power Pack cannot have more than
two weapons and each weapon may only be selected once.

Circular Stone Saw - 4 5 Melee, Shred
Gem Extractor - 6 3 Melee, Rending (6+)
Kinfolk Arc Welder - 7 2 Melee, Unwieldy
Stone Burner 6“ 7 2 Pistol 1, Armourbane (Melta)
Power Weapons
Energised by powerful disruption fields, these weapons could shear through armour as though it were merely paper - reducing flesh to a
bloodless, smoking ruin with a cleaving blow.
All weapons listed here are counted as ‘Power’ weapons for those rules that affect such weapons. A model that is eligible
to select a Power Weapon and has the Imperialis Miltia Sub-faction may select any of the weapons included in this section as a
Power Weapon selection, instead of any other variant of Power Weapon.
Power Hammer - +3 2 Melee, Two-Handed, Unwieldy
Power Pick - +2 3 Melee, Unwieldy, Breaching (5+)
Although technically operated on the same principle, the following weapons are far rarer and more difficult to master than the more
common weapons, and so may not be selected by a model eligible to claim a generic Power weapon.
A model armed with two of the same weapons marked with a * gains +2 attacks, instead of the normal +1 for having two combat
weapons.
Dreadnought Power Glove - 8 2 Melee, Armourbane (Melee)
Executor Great-Blade - User 3 Melee, Reaping Blow (2), Rending (5+)
Gravis Power Fist - 9 2 Melee, Brutal (2)
Heavy Power Weapon - x2 2 Melee, Titanic Weight, Two-Handed

Servo Weapons
Designed to aid those who undertook manual labour to repair all manner of technology, those grafted with servo arms and their like were
able to carry impossible loads or otherwise undertake feats that none so equipped could hope to manage
A model equipped with a Servo-Arm may make an additional single attack per turn as well as any they would normally be eligible to
make, while a model equipped with a Machinator Array makes two additional attacks per turn. These attacks are made using the
weapon profiles shown below.
Additionally, a Machinator Array incorporates a Flamer and a Meltagun. A model with the Battlesmith (X) Special Rule may add +2
to their Repair roll result if they also have a Machinator Array.

Machinator Array - +1 2 Melee, Unwieldy, Shred, Armourbane (Melee)
Servo-Arm - 8 2 Melee, Unwieldy
Solarite Weapons
Forged from alloys impossible to reproduce outside of the hidden tempest-galleries of Terra, and energised by technologies long kept hidden

rare circumstances.

Tainted Weapons
Perhaps once gleaming examples of the power of the Imperium, these weapons had been corrupted by both the Warp and the twisted souls of
their owners.
A model that is eligible to select a Tainted Weapon may take any of the weapons included in this Profile.

Tainted Blade - User 3 Melee, Rending (6+), Murderous Strike (6+)
Tainted Axe - +1 2 Melee, Unwieldy, Murderous Strike (6+)

Exotic and Miscellaneous Weapons of the Imperium

Some weapons found in the Imperial armouries were so unique in form and aspect that they composed a class all of their own.
A model armed with two of the same weapons marked with a * gains +2 attacks, instead of the normal +1 for having two combat
weapons.
Corposant Stave - +1 4 Melee, Two-Handed, Haywire
