Faction Rules

When a friendly Thousand Sons Sorcerer causes a friendly unit to restore HP, that healing can return destroyed models. As HP is restored, return destroyed models when the unit has enough HP to support them normally.

When a Thousand Sons rule calls for Channel the Warp, roll 2d12 against the Psyker’s own DC increased by that ability’s listed Channel requirement. You may add 1d6 to the roll. If that d6 rolls a natural 1, the Psyker suffers 1 Direct Damage regardless of whether the Channel succeeds.

Doombolt — Difficulty 8 · Range 18″ Choose one enemy unit. On a successful cast, it suffers 2d8 Psychic Damage. Weaver of Fates — Difficulty 8 · Range 12″ Choose one friendly unit. It gains +1 DC until the Sorcerer’s next activation. A unit cannot benefit from more than one Weaver of Fates. Temporal Surge — Difficulty 9 · Range 12″ Choose one friendly unit. It immediately moves up to half its Move, even if it has already moved this Battle Round. This movement cannot enter Engagement Range. Twist of Fate — Difficulty 9 · Range 12″ Choose one enemy unit. It suffers −1 DC until the Sorcerer’s next activation. A unit cannot be affected by more than one Twist of Fate.

Using an Aeldari Psyker ability replaces the caster’s Attack Action and costs the listed AP. Non-damaging abilities resolve without a test. If an ability damages or negatively affects an enemy, make a Skill Roll against that target’s DC unless the ability states otherwise. Aeldari Psykers cannot Channel the Warp. Each Psyker ability may only be used once per army per Battle Round unless a rule explicitly states otherwise.

1 AP · Range 18" Choose one friendly Aeldari unit. That unit’s next attack before this Psyker’s next activation has Advantage.

2 AP · Range 12" Choose one friendly Aeldari unit. Until this Psyker’s next activation: Increase that unit’s DC by 1. Increase its Minor Threshold by 2. Increase its Major Threshold by 2. Fortune cannot stack with itself.

3 AP · Range 18" Choose one visible enemy unit and make a Skill Roll against its DC. On a success, until this Psyker’s next activation: Friendly Aeldari attacks against that unit have Advantage. Those attacks gain Overwhelm. When a friendly Aeldari attack against that unit scores a Critical Hit, double its normal Damage Dice first, then add one additional matching Damage Die. Doom cannot stack with itself.

4 AP · Range 24" Choose one visible enemy unit and make a Skill Roll against its DC. On a success, that unit suffers 4d10 Psychic Damage. Every enemy unit within 6" of the target must make a Battle Shock test. Any unit that fails becomes Dazed in addition to becoming Battle Shocked.

When a friendly T’au unit activates, it may nominate another friendly T’au unit within 18" as its Observer. The Observer must not have activated this Battle Round and must have Line of Sight to an enemy unit within 36". Choose one such enemy unit; it becomes Spotted. While that enemy remains Spotted, every allied T’au unit within 18" of the Observer is Guided against it. Guided ranged attacks against the Spotted enemy have Advantage, ignore Light Cover, and ignore Disadvantage from Stealth. The Observer does not gain Guided from its own Spotting. When the Observer later activates, it must perform an Observe Action by sacrificing either its unused movement or unused Attack Action. An Observer can only Observe once per Battle Round and can maintain only one Spotted enemy at a time.

An Observer is the friendly T’au unit maintaining targeting data for For the Greater Good. It must not have activated when nominated. When it later activates, it must perform its Observe Action. If the Observer loses Line of Sight to the Spotted enemy, or if the Observer is destroyed, that enemy immediately stops being Spotted and all Guided benefits provided by that Observer end.

A friendly T’au unit within 18" of an Observer is Guided against that Observer’s Spotted enemy. Its ranged attacks against that enemy have Advantage, ignore Light Cover, and ignore Disadvantage from Stealth. The Observer itself cannot benefit from its own Spotting.

A Spotted enemy has been identified by an Observer. It remains Spotted only while the Observer maintains the required Line of Sight. If that Line of Sight is broken or the Observer is destroyed, the Spotted condition immediately ends. Spotted does not allow attacks to ignore normal Line of Sight or targeting restrictions unless a rule explicitly says otherwise.

When a T’au model makes an Attack Action, it may make one additional ranged attack with one ranged weapon it has already used during that Attack Action. A weapon cannot be fired this way if one of its Weapon Features or another rule says it may only be used once.

At the start of each Battle Round, choose one Combat Doctrine for your Adeptus Astartes army. The same Doctrine cannot be selected in consecutive Battle Rounds. Each Chapter also has a fourth Chapter-exclusive Doctrine.

The first ranged attack each friendly Adeptus Astartes unit makes during its activation gains Advantage if that unit has not moved during that activation.

Once during each friendly Adeptus Astartes unit’s activation, that unit may ignore one source of Disadvantage on an attack.

The first melee attack each friendly Adeptus Astartes unit makes during its activation gains Advantage.

The creeping overgrowth is measured from each terrain feature that has a friendly Overgrown token. With 0–2 friendly Overgrown tokens, its range is 6" from each such terrain feature; with 3–5, the range is 9"; with 6–8, the range is 12"; with 9 or more, the entire battlefield is within Creeping Overgrowth.

Once per Battle Round, at the end of the Battle Round, choose each friendly Sylvaneth unit wholly within Creeping Overgrowth. For each chosen unit, restore 1d4 HP. This healing can return destroyed models: as HP is restored, return models when the unit has enough HP to support them normally.

Once per Battle Round, at the end of a friendly Sylvaneth unit’s activation, choose one terrain feature within 3" of that unit that is not controlled by your opponent and does not already have a friendly Overgrown token. Place a friendly Overgrown token on that terrain feature.

Once per Battle Round, at the start of an enemy unit’s activation, choose one enemy unit within Creeping Overgrowth. If that unit is not within 12" of a friendly Character or Specialist, the first ability it uses during that activation that costs AP costs 1 additional AP. This cannot increase an ability by more than 1 AP.

Once per Battle Round, after an enemy unit enters Engagement Range of a friendly Sylvaneth unit wholly within Creeping Overgrowth, if that Sylvaneth unit is engaged with only that enemy, the Sylvaneth unit may immediately make one melee attack against it before the enemy continues its activation.
