Introduction
Within this document, you’ll find expansions to several established Imperial factions - The
Legio Custodes, Sisters of Silence, Solar Auxilia, and Imperialis Militia - as well as an entirely
new faction, the Traders Militant. All the units and concepts presented here are intended to
pay homage to various previous editions of the game, and lore from across many varied
sources.
All of the units and options contained within this document were extensively play-tested by a
dedicated team of community writers from the Liber Panoptica Team. We recommend you use
the Liber Panoptica FAQ, Errata, and Balance Changes whilst using these units, for the best
game-play experience - and we all hope you enjoy using our supplements in your games of
The Horus Heresy!

LIBER IMPERATUS:
Traders Militant
INTRODUCTION
Amongst the various Imperial factions that blossomed during the Great Crusade, perhaps one of the strangest might have been the Traders Militant
- or Rogue Traders, as they were informally known. Comprised of an eclectic mix of fanciful nobility, the disgraced children of powerful families,
and even some political rivals of the Emperor's new Imperium, to be a Rogue Trader was to bear the seal of the Emperor through a Letter of Marque.
With these marked documents, the Rogue Traders were compelled to disperse far and wide, out of the borders of the Imperium and beyond even the
advancing Expeditionary Fleets, cataloguing the immensely varied worlds of the galaxy to allow the trailing, ponderous behemoth that was Imperial
bureaucracy to decide where next to expend its might to claim another world, another system, another quadrant in His name. It was in this fashion
that despite the very nature of the Rogue Traders - as rebellious, impetuous individuals - that even they found both use and purpose in the
Emperor's design. This individualism and rebelliousness was a unique privilege afforded only to them - and it included an allowance to consort with
alien species, to befriend xenos - a charge all others were expressly forbidden from.
In the coming of the Heresy, however, some among the Traders Militant found a darker purpose. In Horus' war was a new calling for some; one that
required not their fealty or loyalty but their pride and anger, their devotion instead of their cowed submission. It was in this crucible that the first of
the Rogue Traders cast aside their Letters of Marque, becoming piratical raiders and reaver lords and forsaking their honour and bearing in the
doing so.
Even still, in those dark days, some of the Traders Militant held out hope in His vision - and continued their quests, heading back toward the
birthplace of Humanity instead of away from it, trailing their fleets, consorts, and their resources to Terra, in a vain hope that perhaps they might be
the ones to quell the Age of Darkness' flames - or perhaps only quench them for long enough for the Emperor to reclaim the galaxy...
Instead of using a Crusade Force Organisation Chart to select your Primary and Allied Detachments as normal, you may choose to use the Aegis
Militant Force Organisation Chart to construct your army. An Aegis Militant Detachment entirely replaces the Crusade Force Organisation Chart
and its Detachments, and is counted as your Primary Detachment for the purposes of all Special Rules, Limitations, and Gameplay Interactions,
including the Allies Matrix. For the purposes of the Alliance Matrix, Traders Militant are either “Agents of the Emperor” if Loyalist, or “Agents of the
Warmaster” if Traitor, and any models selected from the Traders Militant Army List have the “Traders-Militant” Sub-faction . A Detachment with
the Trader Militant Sub-faction may not be taken as a Primary Detachment outside of the Aegis Militant Force Organisation Chart, and the Aegis
Militant Force Organisation Chart may only be used if the Detachment with the Trader Militant Sub-Faction is the Primary Detachment.
An Aegis Militant Detachment may only be taken as a Primary Detachment. If you choose to do so, you may include one Allied Detachment as an
Optional Detachment per 1,000 points in your army. See page 281 of the Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness Core Rulebook for more information
about Allied Detachments. This means that in a game of 3,000 points size, you could include the Aegis Militant Detachment as your Primary
Detachment and up to three Allied Detachments. Any Detachment which explicitly replaces an Allied Detachment may be selected in an army using
the Aegis Militant Force Organisation Chart, replacing a single one of the Allied Detachments permitted by the game’s points size.
Allied Detachments in the army must be of different Factions (or sub-factions, where applicable) – though this can be modified by the Warrants of
Trade Special Rule found on the Rogue Trader Militant. Allied Detachments can be of any Faction or Sub-faction, as long as their Allegiance
matches – though this can be modified by the Warrants of Trade Special Rule. The Levels of Alliance between such Detachments is modified by the
Fragile Alliance Special Rule, found on the Rogue Trader Militant. If the Rogue Trader Militant is slain, or otherwise removed from play for any
reason, then in the case of Factions or Sub-factions with varying Levels of Alliance depending on who is ordinarily the Primary or Optional
Detachment, the lowest Level of Alliance between the two Factions or Sub-factions should be used. In addition, no Optional Detachments outside
of a single Lord of War Detachment may be selected if a Aegis Militant Detachment is selected. Any unit selected as part of a Lord of War
Detachment must have the same Faction or Sub-Faction as one of the other Primary or Allied Detachments selected as part of the same Army.
An Aegis Militant Detachment may only include units from the profiles listed in the Trader Militant section of the Liber Imperatus. These units
may not be selected as part of any other Force Organisation chart or Detachment besides an Allied Detachment - if selected in this manner,
however, a Warrant of Trade may not be selected for your Rogue Trader Militant. If an Allied Detachment is composed of models with the Trader
Militant Sub-Faction, then any unit with the Trader Militant Sub-Faction able to be selected as an Elites Choice may also be selected as a Troops
Choice.
Additionally, an Aegis Militant Detachment may include a single unit from one of the following lists as a non-Compulsory Elites Choice, even
though they are normally taken as HQ choices:
• Knights Errant
• Divisio Assassinorum
• Cults Abominatio

WARRANTS OF TRADE
Written and signed most often by the Emperor’s hand Himself, these Warrants were worth more than entire sub-sectors to those intelligent enough to
understand them; though some among those handed these documents of authorisation understood that they were in effect also orders of banishment;
permanent exile formalised and sealed with a wax crest.
During Army Selection, a model with the Warrants of Trade Special Rule must select one of the following Warrants; these may grant certain
additional effects to the Detachment containing the model with this Special Rule, as well as affecting which Factions and Sub-factions may be
included in the same army. A model may never select more than one Warrant of Trade, and if a model with the Warrants of Trade Special Rule is
selected as part of an Allied Detachment then no Warrant may be selected.
WARRANT OF COMPLIANCE
The most common Warrant in issue, the Warrant of Compliance was handed out in bulk to legitimise those who wished to enact personal campaigns to
subdue star systems, enabling their brief but effective massacres to benefit those in command. Those issued these Warrants were often watched closely, though -
and were not forgiven for mistakes made under the watchful eyes of their patrons.
An army containing a model with this Warrant of Trade may not include any Detachments from any Faction which may select the Xenos Allegiance.
If the army containing a model with this Warrant of Trade has the Loyalist Allegiance, it may include a single Allied Detachment with the Agents of
the Emperor Faction, but may not include more than one such selection.
If the army containing a model with this Warrant of Trade has the Traitor Allegiance, it may include a single Allied Detachment with the Agents of
the Warmaster Faction, but may not include more than one such selection.
WARRANT OF CONQUEST
The Warrant of Conquest was handed to those Rogue Traders who possessed a single-minded, bloody-handed nature; only those sought to carve out space for
the Imperium to inhabit no matter the cost could truly bear such a writ. To this end, those issued this Warrant would enact great wars to reclaim systems for
their patron - and were even willing to accept xenos aid to achieve their aims…
An army containing a model with this Warrant of Trade may include a single Detachment from any Faction which may select the Xenos Allegiance,
but may not include more than one such selection.
An army containing a model with this Warrant of Trade may not include any Allied or Optional Detachments from the Agents of the Emperor or
Agents of the Warmaster Factions.
WARRANT OF EXPLORATION
Ranging far ahead of the main exploration fleet’s advances, those who bore a Warrant of Exploration were known for fraternising with the scattered human
settlements they found, as well as the varied races of Xenos they encountered - and it was for this reason that the Legiones Astartes would often refuse to walk
alongside them; though the denizens of the Mechanicum often did not hold such qualms…
An army containing a model with this Warrant of Trade may only include a single Detachment from any Faction which contains models with the
Legiones Astartes (X) Special Rule.
An army containing a model with this Warrant of Trade may include up to two Detachments from the Mechanicum Faction, but may not include
more than two of such selections.
An army containing a model with this Warrant of Trade must include a Detachment from any Faction which may select the Xenos Allegiance, but
may not include more than one such selection.
A Detachment containing a model with this Warrant of Trade may not include any Allied or Optional Detachments from the Agents of the Emperor
or Agents of the Warmaster Factions.
WARRANT-BREAKER
Even so soon after their issue, tales abounded of those among the Traders Militant who could not remain within the terms of their Warrants; often, these
Rogue Traders would find their Warrants declared null and void, and were set upon by loyalist and traitors both upon returning to Imperial space - to the
detriment of those mortal souls they trailed with them to their doom.
An army containing a model with this Warrant of Trade may only include Allied or Optional Detachments from any Faction which may select the
Xenos Allegiance, or with the Imperial Army Faction. The same Factions or Sub-factions may be selected in these Detachments, but no Faction or
Sub-faction may be selected more than twice. It should be noted that this overrides any restrictions applied to selecting more than one Faction or
Sub-faction which may select the Xenos Allegiance.
All enemy models gain Hatred (Traders Militant) when fighting against an army that includes a model with this Warrant of Trade.

LIBER IMPERATUS:
Legio Custodes
CHAMBERS OF THE GOLDEN HOST
Throughout the whole of the Unification Wars and most of the early Great Crusade, the forces of the Legio Custodes were not widespread nor commonly seen
among the nascent Imperium. Tasked solely with protecting the Emperor and enacting His will, they were only found en-mass when their ranks surrounded
their ward. While smaller sodalities and even individual warriors were often tasked with highly specific missions such as watching over the Primarchs, the
onset of the Heresy proved the folly of this method of deployment. As the fires of war engulfed the galaxy once more, the peerless warriors of the Legio Custodes
assembled into their mighty Shield-Hosts to deny Horus’ ascendancy once and for all.
Each Chamber of the Golden Host represents a different philosophy of waging war embodied by the Legio Custodes, and is chosen when a player
selects their army - before the start of a battle. The rules for each individual Chamber will present a number of Effects which will grant the
Detachment new options or special rules, as well as a number of Limitations which will deny the Detachment access to certain options or rules it
might otherwise have been able to make use of. Unless otherwise stated as part of the Chamber’s rules, all Effects and Limitations must be applied to
models and units that are selected as part of the Detachment that it has been chosen for.
Effects
● Custodian Host-Masters are a 0-2 selection option in a Detachment using this Chamber, instead of a 0-1 selection as normal.
● Custodian Guard Squads, Sentinel Guard Squads, and Hetaeron Guard Squads selected as part of a Detachment using this Chamber gain the
Counter-Attack (1) and Crusader Special Rules while holding or contesting an Objective Marker. If the mission being used does not use Objective
Markers, then this benefit has no effect.
Limitations
● If, at the start of your player turn, you control less Objective Markers than your opponent, then no friendly models with the Legio Custodes
Special Rule selected as part of a Detachment using this Chamber may claim the benefits of the Nemesis Special Rule until the start of your next
player turn. If the mission being used does not use Objective Markers, then this restriction has no effect.
● A Detachment using this Chamber must include at least one Custodian Host-Master.
● A detachment using this Chamber may not include more units with the Vehicle and Dreadnought Unit Type than units without the Vehicle or
Dreadnought Unit Type.
Effects
● A Detachment using this Chamber may select Aquilon Terminator Squads and Allarus Terminator Squads as Troops choices.
● Allarus Terminator Squads and Aquilon Terminator Squads selected as Compulsory Troops and composed of no more than 5 models can purchase
the Deep Strike special rule for +20 points per model.
● Allarii Shield Captains and Aquilus Shield Captains included in a Detachment using this Chamber may purchase the Deep Strike special rule for
+30 points each.
● If the army’s Warlord is drawn from a Detachment using this Chamber, then they must use the Wrath of the Tharanatoi Warlord Trait instead of
the Golden Exemplar Warlord Trait, and are unable to select any other Warlord Trait.
Limitations
● A Detachment using this chamber must select a Custodian Alarii Shield Captain or a Custodian Aquilus Shield Captain as its compulsory HQ.
● A Detachment using this chamber must select either Allarus Terminator Squads and/or Aquilon Terminator Squads as its Compulsory Troops
choices. Each Compulsory Troops choice selected in a Detachment using this Chamber is worth an additional +1 Victory Point when destroyed by
an Opposing Player.
● A Detachment using this Chamber may not select any models with the Cavalry unit type.
● A Detachment using this Chamber may only select a single Fast Attack choice.
54
CHAMBER OF THE GOLDEN HOST: KATAPHRAKTOI
Composed of the fast attack and reconnaissance units of the Legio Custodes, the Kataphraktoi were the premier rapid-response and first strike forces of all the
Imperium. Mounted atop Agamatus and Dawneagle jetbikes, or else strapped into the grav-powered Venetari jump harness, Custodians of this Chamber were
the Emperor’s heavy cavalry and swift hunting eagles, ensuring none remained beyond His reach.
Effects
● A Detachment using this Chamber may select Custodian Venatari Squads as Troops choices, and all Custodian Venetari Squads selected as Troops
choices gain the Line Unit Sub-type.
● A Detachment using this Chamber may select Agamatus Jetbike Squadrons and Dawneagle Jetbike Squadrons as non-compulsory Troops choices.
● If the army’s warlord is drawn from a detachment using this Chamber, then they must use the Kataphraktoi Charger Warlord Trait instead of the
Golden Exemplar Warlord Trait, and are unable to select any other Warlord Trait.
Limitations
● A Detachment using this chamber must select a Custodian Vertoi Shield Captain, Custodian Agamatii Shield Captain, or a Custodian Venataris
Shield Captain as its compulsory HQ.
● A Detachment using this Chamber may not include any models equipped with Aquilon Terminator Armour or Allarus Terminator Armour.
● A Detachment using this chamber may not select any Heavy Support choices that do not have the Antigrav Unit Sub-type.
● A Detachment using this chamber may not select any Dedicated Transports that do not have the Antigrav Unit Sub-type.
Effects
● Contemptor-Achillus Dreadnoughts and Contemptor-Galatus Dreadnoughts may be taken as Troops choices in a Detachment using this
Chamber.
● Sagittarum Guard Squads may be taken as Troops choices in a Detachment using this Chamber. All Sagittarum Guard Squads in a Detachment
using this Chamber gain the Line Unit Sub-type.
● A single Contemptor-Achillus Dreadnought or Contemptor-Galatus Dreadnought may be selected as this Detachment’s Compulsory HQ choice.
If this option is chosen, then that model must be upgraded to an Honoured Ancient at a cost of +30 points, and additionally this model must be
the army’s Warlord. The model must select the Ancient of War Warlord Trait, and is unable to select any other Warlord Trait.
Honoured Ancient
A model upgraded to be an Honoured Ancient is equipped with an Iron Halo and gains the Eternal Warrior Special Rule.
Limitations
● Compulsory Troops Choices in a Detachment using this Chamber must be composed of either Contemptor-Achillus Dreadnoughts or
Contemptor-Galatus Dreadnoughts in any combination.
● Any model with the Dreadnought Unit Type selected in a Detachment using this Chamber is worth an additional +1 Victory Point when destroyed
by an Opposing Player.
● A Detachment using this Chamber may not select more Fast Attack and Heavy Support choices combined than Troops choices.
● A Detachment using this Chamber can never roll to Seize the Initiative.
● An army whose primary Detachment uses this Chamber cannot select Fortification choices or a Lord of War Optional Detachment.

SHIELD-HOSTS OF THE LEGIO CUSTODES
Among the Legio Custodes, many distinctive and recognisable differences in how different Shield-Hosts waged war existed, even before the outbreak of the
Horus Heresy. These Shield-Hosts would often take immense pride in their unique methods of war; seeing their prowess and traditions as their own personal
dedication to the Emperor made manifest. Foremost in the Legio Custodes in shaping and maintaining these traditions were the Host-Masters, and when an
army of Custodians sallied forth in His name, they often included these representatives of a Shield-Host.
A model with the Master of the Shield Hosts Special Rule is required to select a single Shield-Host upgrade. However, no model may take more than
one such upgrade, and no model in your army may select the same Shield-Host upgrade option as another. Each Shield-Host upgrade must be paid
for at a cost in points, indicated as part of the army list entry for the unit. Shield-Host upgrades may provide Special Rules, Wargear, Unit Sub-types,
or other effects; these are noted in their description, along with any other benefits or restrictions. In all cases, the Shield-Host’s description will
indicate all changes, benefits and restrictions.
AQUILAN SHIELD
Among the Legio Custodes, there were some who were charged not with defending the Emperor, but instead those deemed vitally important by either His
unknowable will, or that of Malcador’s design. The Aquilan Shield undertook these protective duties with stoic determination, their protection often as
unexpected as it was unwavering.
Special Rules
A model with the Aquilan Shield Shield-Host gains the Auric Guardians and For the Future of All Mankind Special Rules.
Wargear
A model with the Aquilan Shield Shield-Host is equipped with a Praesidium Shield, at no additional points cost.
Auric Guardians
Whilst a unit containing at least one model with this Special Rule is within 3” of a friendly model with the Infantry Unit Type and the Independent
Character Special Rule, and without the Legio Custodes Special Rule, whenever a Wound is allocated to that model (even those caused by the
Precision Strikes (X), Precision Shots (X), or Sniper Special Rules), it must instead be allocated to a model from this unit instead as long as they would
otherwise have been a valid target.
DREAD HOST
Masters of the lightning assault, shock and awe strikes, and overwhelming power, the Dread Host took sole responsibility for delivering the hammer-blow of
the Emperor’s will upon those who dared to defy Him. Striking out across the galaxy from their three immense vessels, the Moiraides, there were none who
could stand against their might.
Special Rules
A model with the Dread Host Shield-Host gains the Moiraides Strike Special Rule.
Wargear
A model with the Dread Host Shield-Host is equipped with a Tenebris Praetoria, at no additional points cost.
Moiraides Strike
A model with this Special Rule, and any unit they join during Deployment, gains the Deep Strike and Crusader Special Rules, and must be assigned to
a Deep Strike Assault.
56
SHADOW KEEPERS
Only the custodians of truly singular will, even among their exemplary order, were recruited to the ranks of the Shadow Keepers; tasked to maintain and
protect the vaults and cells in the darkness beneath the Imperial Palace. To aid them in this duty, the Shadow Keepers kept technologies that brought low their
foes, either living or dead - though many of their enemies would sooner die than be taken alive...
Special Rules
A model with the Shadow Keepers Shield-Host gains the Walkers in Shadow, Vaults of Rython, and Preferred Enemy (Characters) Special Rule.
Wargear
A model with the Shadow Keepers Shield-Host is equipped with a Tempest Spear and Auric Shackles, at no additional points cost.
Walkers in Shadow
An army containing a model with this Special Rule may not include an Allied Detachment. In addition, a model with this Special Rule may not be
included in an Allied Detachment.
Vaults of Rython
A model with this Special Rule may select a Custodian Guard Squad as a Retinue. A unit selected in this manner is considered a ‘Retinue Squad’ and
the model with the Master of the Shield-Hosts Special Rule is referred to as the Retinue Squad’s Leader for the purposes of this Special Rule. The
Retinue Squad does not use up a Force Organisation slot and is considered part of the same unit as the model selected as its Leader. The Retinue
Squad must be deployed with the model selected as its Leader deployed as part of the unit and the Leader may not voluntarily leave the Retinue
Squad during play.
A Custodian Guard Squad selected in this manner must exchange their Guardian Spears for Tempest Spears, at a cost of +10 points per model.
SOLAR WATCH
The white-armoured castellans of the Solar Watch held their sacred duty to monitor the Sol system as a singular honour. Tasked as the first line of defence
against incursion, theirs were the huge motor pools and repositories of craft with which to bring their forces to bear against any foolish enough to assail the
birthplace of humanity itself.
Special Rules
A model with the Solar Watch Shield-Host gains the Shining Fleet and Taloned Onslaught Special Rules.
Shining Fleet
A Detachment that includes a model with this Special Rule must have more of the units within it with the Infantry Unit Type start the game
embarked in a Transport than units which do not. Note that for the purposes of this Special Rule, models with the Independent Character Special
Rule are not counted.
Taloned Onslaught
A model with this Special Rule, and any unit they have joined, gain the Pathfinder, Move Through Cover, and Fleet (1) Special Rules, for as long as the
model with the Taloned Onslaught Special Rule is part of that unit.
EMISSARIES IMPERATUS
The heralds of the Emissaries Imperatus proclaimed the coming of the Emperor in all things - for theirs was the task to relay His orders, to know His design,
and to enact His desires. To this end, the Vexillum the Emissaries carried into battle would fill the hearts of those loyal to the vision of an Imperium unified
under His will with hope that such could still be achieved - even in the darkest days of the siege.
Special Rules
A model with the Emissaries Imperatus Shield-Host gains the Fearless Special Rule.
Wargear
A model with the Emissaries Imperatus Shield-Host is equipped with a Vexillum Imperatus, at no additional points cost.

LIBER IMPERATUS:
Solar Auxilia
SOLAR AUXILIA WARLORD TRAITS
The warlords of the Solar Auxilia were incredibly varied, united only by two factors - rank and skill. In this regard, no matter their preferred battlefields or
specialisations, it was well-known among those who faced the serried ranks of the Auxilia on the field that to underestimate these mortal commanders was to
court destruction and death.
If your Warlord is of the Solar Auxilia Sub-faction, instead of choosing a Warlord Trait from the Core Rulebook’s Warlord Traits, you may instead
choose a Warlord Trait from the options below.
A Warlord with this Warlord Trait gains the Stubborn and Move Through Cover Special Rules, and in addition may ignore the Movement Penalty
imposed by Debris Terrain. They may also choose to re-roll any failed Dangerous Terrain or Hazardous Debris tests. If this Warlord is a model with
the Independent Character Special Rule and has joined a unit with the Tercio Special Rule then these bonuses apply to all models in that unit, as well
as to all models which are part of that Tercio and are ‘In Formation’ with the unit containing the Warlord.
In addition, an army whose Warlord has this Trait may make an additional Reaction during the Opposing Player’s Movement phase as long as the
Warlord has not been removed as a casualty.
A Warlord with this Warlord Trait increases the range of all Ranged Weapons they are equipped with by +6”.
At the start of the Controlling Player’s Shooting Phase, a Warlord with this Warlord Trait may nominate a single enemy unit within 30” and Line of
Sight. A Warlord with this Warlord Trait, and any unit they have joined with the Tercio Special Rule and any other squads ‘In Formation’ with that
unit, add +1 to their To-Hit rolls when making Shooting Attacks against that unit until the end of the Phase.
In addition, an army whose Warlord has this Trait may make an additional Reaction during the Opposing Player’s Shooting phase as long as the
Warlord has not been removed as a casualty.
A Warlord with this Warlord Trait increases their Weapon Skill by +1 and gains the Hatred (Everything!) and Fleet (1) Special Rule.
A Warlord with this Warlord Trait and the Independent Character Special Rule may elect to purchase a single unit of Solar Auxilia Companion
Sections or Solar Auxilia Tactical Command Sections as a retinue - if selected in this manner, the unit loses the Tercio Special Rule. This unit is
designated the ‘Household Retinue’, and all models in that unit increase their Weapon Skill Characteristic by +1, gain the Hatred (Everything!) and
Fleet (1) Special Rules, and in addition gain the Line Unit Sub-Type for as long as the Warlord is part of that unit. The Warlord with this Trait must be
deployed as part of the ‘Household Retinue’ unit and may not voluntarily leave that unit during play.
In addition, an army whose Warlord has this Trait may make an additional Reaction during the Opposing Player’s Assault phase as long as the
Warlord has not been removed as a casualty.

121
ADDITIONAL COHORT DOCTRINES
The following list comprises additional Cohort Doctrines that may be used by any Detachment that either includes at least one model with the
Cohort Doctrines Special Rule, or the Detachment can upgrade at least one model from the Detachment to have the Cohort Doctrines Special Rule
as noted in a specific Cohort Doctrine that allows this.

● Any unit in a Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine made up entirely of models with the Infantry, Cavalry, Dreadnought or Mechanised Type
may be given the Corrupted Unit Sub-Type for a cost of +25 points per unit – models that are attached to units, such as Medicae, must be
upgraded separately. In addition, any unit upgraded in this way loses the Close-Order Unit Sub-type if they had it.
● Any Character in a Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine may exchange a Power Weapon for a Tainted Blade, Tainted Axe or Tainted Maul for
+5 points each.
Limitations
● A Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine may not include more than a single Auxilia Armoured Tercio.

Strength 4.
● Any Infantry Unit without the Monstrous Unit Sub-Type in a Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine may be upgraded to replace their Void
Armour or Reinforced Void Armour with Heavy Void Armour at a cost of +30 points per unit.

Bolter with a Needle Cannon at a cost of +5 points each, or a Volkite Culverin at a cost of +10 points each.
● Any Infantry model in a Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine equipped with a Volkite Charger may exchange it for a Needle Vulnus at a cost of
+2 points per model, and any model equipped with a Rotor Cannon may exchange it for a Needle Cannon at a cost of +10 points per model. If this
option is selected, then all models in a unit must exchange their weapon in the same way.
Limitations
● A Warlord in an army using this Cohort Doctrine must be a model with the Cohort Doctrines Special Rule.
● All Tercios in a Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine that have the ability to include a Command Section of any kind must do so.
● If a Warlord in an army using this Cohort Doctrine is ever removed as a casualty then all units in the Detachment which are not locked in close
combat must immediately take a Morale test. Units which do not take Morale Checks, such as units with the Vehicle Unit Type, or models with
any ability to automatically pass them, such as the Fearless Special Rule, ignore this Restriction.
122
COHORT DOCTRINE: LEGION-SWORN COHORTS
A number of cohorts were raised from the homeworlds and tributaries of the Legiones Astartes. These cohorts usually counted large numbers of failed Legion-
aspirants among their ranks, as well as those who were too old, or otherwise incompatible with the process required to become a Space Marine. Owing to their
shared origins, these cohorts fought fiercely to live up to the example set by the Astartes. Other cohorts had no lineage with a particular Legion, but had fought
together across so many battlefields – typically as part of the same Expeditionary Fleet – that their tactics, experiences and losses bound them closer to the
Legion and its Primarch than the greater Imperium.
Effects
● Detachments using this Cohort Doctrine are classed as one level higher on the Levels of Alliance by a single Space Marines Legion Faction.
● Any model in a Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine may exchange a Lasrifle for a Bolter for free.
● Any model in a Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine may exchange a Laspistol for a Bolt Pistol for +2 points per model.
Limitations
● This Cohort Doctrine may only be taken by an Allied Detachment.
Effects
● A Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine may select Solar Auxilia Furibundus Dreadnought Talons as Troop Choices.
● A Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine may select Solar Auxilia Extremis Boarding Rig Sections as Troops.
● Solar Auxilia Furibundus Dreadnought Talons and Solar Auxilia Extremis Boarding Rig Sections selected as Compulsory Troops in a Detachment
using this Cohort Doctrine gain the Line Sub-Type.
Limitations
● A Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine may not include any Auxilia Armoured Tercios, Solar Auxilia Praetorian Heavy Tank Squadrons, Solar
Auxilia Macharius Omega Heavy Tank units, or Solar Auxilia Macharius Heavy Tank Squadron.
● A Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine may not select any Fortification choices.
● An army whose Primary Detachment is using this Rite of War may not roll to Seize the Initiative.
Effects
● Solar Auxilia Pioneer Sections gain the Line Unit Sub-Type and Infiltrate Special Rule in a Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine.
● Auxilia Infantry Support Tercios composed entirely of Solar Auxilia Ancillary Command Sections and/or Solar Auxilia Pioneer Sections may be
taken as Compulsory Troops Choices in a Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine.

● A player whose army includes a Primary Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine may re-roll any dice they roll to see which player takes the first
turn, or when attempting to Seize the Initiative.
Limitations
● A Detachment using this Rite of War may not select any Fortification choices except those purchased in place of Dedicated Transports for Solar
Auxilia Pioneer Sections.
● A Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine may not include more than a single Auxilia Armoured Tercio.
123
COHORT DOCTRINE: SCOURGE PATTERN COHORTS
During the Great Crusade, some Xenos entities proved to be of such terrible power and unspeakable origin that nothing less than their complete and total
annihilation could be tolerated; the ground on which they had trodden burnt away and salted – assuming it could ever be sanctified for human habitation.
Even at their peak, there had only been so many Legiones Astartes to engage these threats, and coupled with the sheer number of Expeditionary Fleets active in
the galaxy, this led to the raising of several Solar Auxilia cohorts trained and equipped for the explicit purpose of scouring whole battle-sectors or even entire
planets clean of life.
Effects
● A Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine may select Solar Auxilia Hellhound Squadrons as Non-Compulsory Troop choices.
● Any model in a Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine may exchange a Flamer or Heavy Flamer with a Toxiferran Flamer for Free.
● Any Character in a Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine may be equipped with Rad Grenades for +10 points per model.
● Any Auxilia Rapier Carrier with Quad Launchers in a Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine may be upgraded to have Phospex Canister Shot at
a cost of +20 points per model.
● Any Auxilia Malcador Infernus in a Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine may replace its Centreline Mounted Inferno Cannon with a
Centreline Mounted Chem Destroyer at a cost of +25 points per model.
Limitations
● This Cohort Doctrine may only be selected for a Primary Detachment.
● An army whose Primary Detachment is using this Cohort Doctrine may not select an Allied Detachment.
● A Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine may not select any Fortification choices.
Effects
● A Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine must select a Lord of War in place of a Primarch on the Crusade Force Organisation Chart. This Lord
of War gains the Cohort Doctrines Special Rule and must be selected as the army’s Warlord regardless of any rules which would require a model to
be selected as the army’s Warlord and must use the Super-Heavy Armoured Legate Warlord Trait (see below).
● A Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine may select Solar Auxilia Macharius Heavy Tank Squadrons as Elite choices.
Limitations
● All Lords of War Detachments in an army with this Cohort Doctrine must belong to the Solar Auxilia Sub-Faction.
● A Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine must contain more units with the Vehicle Unit Type than units without.
Effects
● A Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine may select Solar Auxilia Aello Gunship Squadrons as Heavy Support choices.
● All units in a Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine eligible to take an Aurox Transport as a Dedicated Transport may instead select an Arvus
Transport as a Dedicated Transport.
● All units in a Detachment using this Cohort Doctrine eligible to take a Chimera Transport as a Dedicated Transport may instead select an Auxilia
Kelaino or Auxilia Aello as a Dedicated Transport.
● For any model with the Vehicle Unit Type and both the Flyer and Transport Sub-Types in a Detachment that is using this Cohort Doctrine, and
that is in Reserve, the Controlling Player may choose to automatically have them enter play at the start of their First Turn without making a
Reserves roll. If they are not brought into play on Turn One then Reserves rolls are made for the models normally from Turn Two onwards.
Limitations
● All units composed entirely of models with the Infantry Unit Type must begin the battle Embarked on a model with the Transport Unit Sub-Type
or in Reserves.
124
MODIFICATIONS TO EXISTING COHORT DOCTRINES
The following list comprises additions to the existing Cohort Doctrines that can be found in the Liber Imperium Rulebook. These changes are
to be considered in addition to the rules presented in those publications.
125
SOLAR AUXILIA ARMOURED MARSHALS
Among the ranks of the mortal armies of the Imperium, the thunder of engines and treads often marked the coming of the Solar Auxilia. Within their
armoured corps, however, there were occasionally stories of individuals - tank commanders - who rose to prominence beyond that expected of their station.
These experts in armoured warfare were often recognised with the rank of Marshal, rewarded and honoured for their uniquely potent contributions to the way
the Auxilia waged war.
An Armoured Marshal may be selected as an upgrade for models with the Vehicle Unit Type and the Imperial Army (Solar Auxilia) Faction and Sub-
Faction. No single model may select more than one Armoured Marshal upgrade, but more than one eligible model in an army may select Armoured
Marshal upgrades. Furthermore, each individual Armoured Marshal upgrade may include specific limitations regarding which models may select
that upgrade – these limitations will be detailed in the entry for that Armoured Marshal upgrade.
Each Armoured Marshal upgrade must be paid for at a cost in points, as indicated in the entry for that Armoured Marshal upgrade – note that the
cost for a given Armoured Marshal upgrade may vary depending on the model that is to receive the upgrade. In addition, each Armoured Marshal
upgrade may grant the model to be upgraded with a number of new Special Rules or items of additional Wargear, or may modify the upgraded
model’s Unit Type, Unit Sub-Type, or Characteristics. In all cases, the Armoured Marshal upgrade will specify all changes, benefits and limitations.
An Armoured Marshal upgrade does not use up a slot of any kind on the Force Organisation chart, or change the slot used by the unit to which it is
applied as an upgrade.
Armoured Marshal upgrades must be visually represented on the upgraded model by a suitable model placed in an otherwise empty cupola or hatch.
It should be noted that an Armoured Marshal upgrade purchased for a Lord of War Choice is counted toward that Force Organisation Chart Slot’s
cost, and should be used when calculating the 25% limit on Lords of War and Primarch Choices in an army.
This upgrade may be purchased for a single model from any of the following units in an army, at a cost of +50 points:
● Solar Auxilia Armoured Battery
● Solar Auxilia Minotaur Battery
● Solar Auxilia Manticore Missile Tank Battery
This upgrade may be purchased for a single model from any of the following units in an army, at a cost of +75 points:
● Solar Auxilia Praetor Armoured Assault Launcher
Special Rules
A model with this upgrade gains the Blitz Barrage Special Rule.
Wargear
A model with this upgrade is equipped with a Nuncio-Vox.
Blitz Barrage
Once per game, before any Shooting Attacks are resolved during any of the Controlling Player’s Shooting Phases, the Controlling Player may declare a
unit that contains a model with an Ordnance Corps Marshal will fire a Blitz Barrage.
For that Shooting Phase only, a unit declared as firing a Blitz Barrage may fire any weapons they are equipped with that have the Ordnance type
twice. This second Shooting Attack may be made at a different target to the first, but otherwise follows all the normal rules and conventions around
making a Shooting Attack.
126
SOLAR AUXILIA ARMOURED MARSHAL: ARMOURED FIST MARSHAL
The best among the Solar Auxilia’s tank commanders were known by the moniker “Armoured Fists” due to the precision with which they wielded the firepower
of their vehicles; despite the informality of such a term, many commanders bore it with pride, and eventually those Marshals were able to petition for its formal
recognition as not only their designated rank, but as a badge of honour for their conduct in combat.
This upgrade may be purchased for a single model from any of the following units in an army, at a cost of +50 points:
● Solar Auxilia Armoured Command Section
● Solar Auxilia Carnodon Command Section
● Solar Auxilia Malcador Heavy Tank Squadron
Special Rules
A model with this upgrade may make the Concentrated Fire Advanced Reaction.
Wargear
A model with this upgrade may be equipped with a Nuncio-Vox at a cost of +10 points. In addition, a model with this upgrade may be equipped with a
Cognis Signum at a cost of +15 points.
Concentrated Fire - This Advanced Reaction may be made whenever any enemy unit makes a Shooting Attack targeting a unit eligible to make this
reaction. Once the Active player has resolved all To-Hit rolls, Armour Penetration rolls, Invulnerable Saves and any Damage Mitigation rolls are
made, but before effects of any lost Hull Points or Vehicle Damage Chart rolls as a result of the Shooting Attacks made by all weapons in the Active
player’s unit that made the Shooting Attack are applied, the Reactive player may make a Shooting Attack, targeting the unit that triggered this
Reaction and following all the usual rules for Shooting Attacks. Models which are part of a unit which includes a model with this Special Rule
attacking as part of this Reaction may attack with all of their Defensive Weapons, and up to one Battle Weapon each. Template weapons may only be
used as part of a Concentrated Fire Advanced Reaction if the target unit is within 8” and must use the Wall of Death Special Rule instead of firing
normally.
This upgrade may be purchased for a unit composed of a single model from any of the following units in an army, at a cost of +75 points:
● Solar Auxilia Macharius Heavy Tank Squadron
● Solar Auxilia Praetorian Heavy Tank Squadron
This upgrade may be purchased for a single model from any of the following units in an army, at a cost of +100 points:
● Solar Auxilia Stormhammer
● Solar Auxilia Baneblade
● Solar Auxilia Stormblade
● Solar Auxilia Banehammer
● Solar Auxilia Stormlord
● Solar Auxilia Shadowsword
● Solar Auxilia Stormsword
● Solar Auxilia Stormblade
An army may not contain more than one model with this Armoured Marshal Upgrade.
Special Rules
A model with this Special Rule gains the Void Shields (2) Special Rule. A model with this upgrade also gains +1 to its Ballistic Skill Characteristic, and
+2 to its Hull Points Characteristic.
In addition, all friendly models with the Solar Auxilia Sub-faction within 12” of a model with this upgrade automatically pass any Morale or Pinning
Tests they are called upon to make.
Wargear
A model with this upgrade is equipped with a Flare Shield at no additional Points cost, though may not purchase a Flare Shield from any other
source.

Ambulator Frame
A relic of the Dark Age of Technology, this irreplaceable marvel functioned as both an exo-skeleton and life support for Ireton MaSade, allowing him to
overcome the infirmities of his advanced age.
An Ambulator Frame provides a 2+ Armour Save and grants the It Will Not Die (5+) Special Rule.
Extremis Warsuit
Ireton MaSade was known to take the field aboard a heavily personalised Extremis Warsuit to further mitigate the limitations of his centuries-old body –
typically alongside similarly equipped Companions.
If upgraded to have an Extremis Warsuit, Ireton MaSade must use the Ireton Mechanised profile, and gains the following benefits:
● Exchanges his Archaeotech Pistol for a Rotary Bolt Cannon.
● The Fleet (2), Inexorable, and Move Through Cover Special Rules.
● The Mechanised and Light Unit Sub-Types.
In addition, an Extremis Boarding Rig Section may be selected as a Retinue Squad in a Detachment where Ireton MaSade has been upgraded to have
an Extremis Boarding Rig. A unit selected as Retinue Squad does not use up a Force Organisation slot and is considered part of the same unit as
Ireton MaSade. An Extremis Boarding Rig Section selected as a Retinue Squad must be deployed with Ireton MaSade deployed as part of the unit and
Ireton MaSade may not voluntarily leave the Retinue Squad during play.
All models in an Extremis Boarding Rig Section selected as a Retinue Squad lose the Battlesmith (X) Special Rule, and gain the Chosen Warriors and
Counter-Attack (1) Special Rules.
One Extremis Boarding Rig may exchange a Vox Interlock for a Command Vox for +5 points.
One Extremis Boarding Rig may exchange an Auxilia Vexilla for a Cohorts Vexilla for +5 points.

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.
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.

LIBER IMPERATUS:
Archaeotechnological Relics
ARCHAEOTECHNOLOGICAL RELICS
In the wake of the Age of Strife and the coming of the Great Crusade, considerable amounts of esoteric and powerful technologies were uncovered by the
Emperor’s armies; whether pried from the bodies of slain warlords or found buried away by unknown hands. These relics included weaponry, as well as other
dangerous and poorly understood devices that would nonetheless prove especially potent on the battlefield. These were inevitably taken up by the most
influential of the Imperium’s champions – in spite of the Mechanicum’s efforts to catalogue and hoard them.
Whilst the Legiones Astartes inherently favoured archaeotech that enhanced their killing potential, many officers of the Excertus Imperialis took a view that
their service was a means to an end; anticipating a life beyond warfare, or at least a dynasty that would continue long after their remains had gone cold. As a
sign of their prestige and influence, a great deal of such archaeotech made its way into the hands of this burgeoning aristocracy, much of it – on the surface –
frivolous or relatively impotent - but just as many pieces concealed a deadly purpose or had an unconventional battlefield application.
A Solar Auxilia Legate Marshal, Rogue Trader Militant, or Imperialis Militia Force Commander (who must either be in a Detachment with the
Armoury of Old Night Provenance, or have the Merchant Princeling or Connoisseur of Alien Curios Warlord Traits) may make a single selection
from the following Archaeotechnological Relics list, paying the respective points cost in each entry to select that wargear item. Each item may grant
the model to be upgraded with a number of new Special Rules, abilities, or may modify the upgraded model’s Unit Type, Unit Sub-Type, or
Characteristics. In all cases, the Archaeotechnological Relic will specify all changes, benefits and limitations.
Archaeotechnological Relics must be visually represented on the upgraded model by a suitable conversion on the model where possible.
This Archaeotechnological Relic may be purchased for an applicable model at a cost of +15 points.
Once per game when making a Shooting Attack, a model with an Apex Digital Weapon can declare it will fire either a Disintegrator, Lascannon,
Multi-Melta, Plasma Cannon or Volkite Culverin. When firing this weapon, treat the model as if it had the Relentless Special Rule.
This Archaeotechnological Relic may be purchased for an applicable model at a cost of +30 points.
A Displacer Matrix provides a 3+ Invulnerable Save. This Invulnerable Save does not stack with other Invulnerable Saves, and cannot benefit from
rules (like Cyber-Familiar wargear) that specifically increase existing saves. If a model has another Invulnerable Save then the Controlling Player must
choose which one to use.
In addition, the first time a roll of ‘1’ is made for an Invulnerable Save for a model with a Displacer Matrix, the Wound is ignored, and the model is
removed from the battlefield, entering the Controlling Player’s Reserves assigned to a Deep Strike Assault (even if one had already been made earlier
in the game). If the model was part of a unit, they count as having left the unit – even if they would not ordinarily be allowed to do so. No other units
may be assigned to this Deep Strike Assault, and resolving this Deep Strike Assault does not prevent the Controlling Player from resolving another
Deep Strike Assault later in the game if they have units still assigned to one. This Deep Strike Assault automatically arrives in the Controlling Player’s
next game turn. If the Deep Strike Assault is Disordered, or the game does not continue into the next turn (in which this model would arrive), then
the model is counted as Destroyed.
This Archaeotechnological Relic may be purchased for an applicable model at a cost of +10 points.
When an enemy unit declares a Charge targeting a unit which includes a model with a Grav-Wave Generator, the unit may make the Hold The Line
Advanced Reaction (see the Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness rulebook, page 330) without expending a point of the Reactive Player’s Reaction
Allotment, and automatically passes the associated Morale Check. This does not allow the unit to make more than one Reaction per Phase, but does
allow the Controlling Player to exceed the normal three Reactions limit in a given phase.
In addition, a model receives no benefit from the Hammer of Wrath (X) Special Rule if they Charge a unit which makes a Hold The Line Advanced
Reaction that includes a model with a Grav-Wave Generator.
266
ARCHAEOTECHNOLOGICAL RELIC: METAPHASIC READER
Unique scanners of unknown design, these devices utilised input devices that were capable of detecting every form of energy known to the Mechanicum - and
several to which the Martian Priesthood at large remained ignorant of.
This Archaeotechnological Relic may be purchased for an applicable model at a cost of +20 points.
A model with a Metaphasic Reader gains the Night Vision Special Rule, and enemy models cannot be deployed using the Infiltrate Special Rule within
18” of a model with a Metaphasic Reader.
In addition, when any enemy unit is deployed to the battlefield from Reserves, a unit that includes at least one model with a Metaphasic Reader may
make the Interceptor Advanced Reaction (see the Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness rulebook, page 309) without expending a point of the Reactive
player’s Reaction Allotment. This does not allow the unit to make more than one Reaction per Phase, but does allow the controlling player to exceed
the normal three Reactions limit in a given Phase.
This Archaeotechnological Relic may be purchased for an applicable model at a cost of +20 points.
Any enemy model within 18” and line of sight of a model with a Psi-Jammer must reduce its Leadership by -2 when making Psychic Checks. This
modifier is not cumulative and no model may suffer penalties from more than one Psi-Jammer.
In addition, a model with a Psi-Jammer and any unit they have joined gains the Adamantium Will (5+) Special Rule.
This Archaeotechnological Relic may be purchased for an applicable model at a cost of +35 points.
A model with a Void Shield Harness gains the Void Shields (2) Special Rule. Whenever a Shooting Attack is assigned to a unit containing a model with
a Void Shield Harness, the Controlling Player can choose to have that Shooting Attack target the Void Shields instead (even if that attack had the
Sniper or Precision Shots (X) Special Rule), so long as they have not been collapsed earlier in the battle. In addition, when the Void Shields provided
by a Void Shield Harness collapse, all models within D6” of a model with a Void Shield Harness suffer an immediate hit at S8 AP-.
267
LIBER IMPERATUS:
Psychic Disciplines
IMPERATUS PSYCHIC DISCIPLINES
This document includes a number of Psychic Disciplines referenced from elsewhere. These are presented here for easy reference and operate under
the rules established for Psychic Disciplines in the Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness Core Rulebook:
Instead of making a Shooting Attack, a Psyker with this Psychic Power may select a single enemy unit composed entirely of models with the Daemon
Unit Type or Corrupted Unit Sub-type that is within line of sight and has at least one model within 18” of the Psyker. All models in the target unit
must reduce their Strength and Toughness by 1 (to a minimum of Toughness or Strength 1) until the end of the target unit’s Controlling Player’s
next turn – the Controlling Player of the Psyker using this Power may then choose to make a Psychic check for the Psyker. If the Check is passed the
target unit also suffers Perils of the Warp, and if the Check is failed then both the target unit and the Psyker using this Psychic Power suffer Perils of
the Warp.
Instead of making a Shooting Attack, a Psyker with this Psychic Power may select a point within 12" and at least 3" away from any enemy model or
Impassable Terrain - place a Blast (3") Marker to represent the Warp Rift until this power is resolved.
The Controlling Player may then choose to make a Psychic check for the model casting this Psychic Power. If the Check is failed or not taken then
the chosen point is scattered as per the normal rules for Scatter. If it scatters onto Impassable Terrain, within 3" of an enemy model, or off of the
edge of the battlefield then the model casting this Psychic Power suffers Perils of the Warp, and the chosen point is moved the minimum distance
required in a direction of the Controlling Player's choice to place it clear of all Impassable Terrain, on the battlefield, and at least 3" away from any
enemy model. If the Check is passed then the Warp Rift does not scatter.
Once the final location of the chosen point is determined, the model casting this Psychic Power’s Controlling Player may choose to deploy up to one
of the Ruinstorm Daemon units in Reserves onto the battlefield (that player may choose to place no units if they wish). That unit moves onto the
battlefield from any point along the edge of the Blast marker placed to represent the Warp Rift as if it was entering play from Reserves, treating the
Warp Rift marker as though it was the Controlling Player's battlefield edge.
Once all models in the unit have moved onto the battlefield, the Warp Rift marker is removed from play. The Daemon unit brought into play by use
of this power may be targeted by the Interceptor Reaction and may act as normal in the Shooting phase in which it arrives and may declare a Charge
in the Assault phase of the turn in which it enters play.
Note that to use this power, a player will need access to the Ruinstorm Daemons Army List.
270
Psychic Discipline: Diabolism
A Psyker with this Discipline gains the listed Powers, Weapon and other Special Rules, as well as the Aetheric Lightning Psychic Weapon (see page
322 of the Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness rulebook for the rules for Aetheric Lightning) - unless they have already gained this power from another
source.
When a Charge is declared for a model with this power, or for a unit that includes a model with this power, the Controlling Player may choose to
make a Psychic check for the model before any dice are rolled to determine the Charge Distance of that Charge. If the Psychic check is successful
then the model with this power gains the Hammer of Wrath (3) Special Rule and increases both their Strength and Toughness Characteristics by +1
for the duration of that Assault phase. If the Check is failed then the model suffers Perils of the Warp, and once that has been resolved gains +1 to
both its Strength and Toughness Characteristics until the start of the Controlling Player’s next turn.
271
LIBER IMPERATUS:
Unit Types
IMPERATUS UNIT TYPES
This document includes a number of new unit Sub-types to represent the various sub-factions of the Imperium, as well as some referenced from
elsewhere. These Unit Types and Unit Sub-types are presented here for easy reference and operate under the rules established for Unit Types and
Unit Sub-types in the Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness Core Rulebook:
The following rules apply to all models with the Anathema Sub-type:
• A unit that includes at least one model with the Anathema Sub-type may not be directly targeted by any Psychic Power or use any Psychic
Power or make attacks with a Psychic Weapon. Psychic Powers whose effects would otherwise be applied to a unit that includes at least one
model with the Anathema Sub-type (due to area of effect, scattering or other rules) have no effect, but are not cancelled and may continue to
affect other units.
• A model with the Anathema Sub-type that is allocated Wounds caused by a Psychic Weapon (which is any weapon granted to a unit or model
by a Psychic Discipline) will always fail to Wound without any dice being rolled and any special rules attached to that Psychic Weapon will not
trigger. Any Wounds allocated to a model with the Anathema Unit Sub-type caused by a Force Weapon gain no benefit from the Force, Achean
Force, or Soul Tear Special Rules, but are otherwise resolved as normal. These effects do not apply to a model with the Transport Sub-type that
has models with the Anathema Sub-type Embarked within, unless the model with the Transport Sub-type also has the Anathema Sub-type.
• All models that do not have the Anathema Sub-type, but are part of a unit that includes one or more models with the Anathema Sub-type,
suffer a penalty of -2 to their Leadership Characteristic, and models with the Anathema Sub-type suffer a penalty of -1 to their Leadership. Any
unit with at least one model within 6" of a model with the Anathema Sub-type suffers a penalty of -1 to the Leadership of all models in that
unit that do not also have the Anathema Sub-type, or -2 if that unit includes one or more models with the Corrupted or Psyker Sub-types, or
the Daemon Unit Type. Note that these two penalties are not cumulative; they apply only the most severe penalty. However, they do stack
with other Special Rules that modify Leadership (such as the Fear (X) Special Rule).
• A unit that is Embarked on a Vehicle, Fortification or Building suffers no penalties to its Leadership Characteristic due to the Anathema Sub-
type. However, units with the Stubborn Special Rule do suffer penalties to their Leadership from the effects of this Sub-type (note that this
only applies to the Stubborn Special Rule, and other special rules that ignore penalties to Leadership ignore the effects of the
Anathema Sub-type).
The following rules apply to all models with the Asuryani Sub-type:
• Any model with this Sub-type has the Legacies of the Fall Special Rule.
• Any model with the Infantry or Cavalry Unit Type and this Sub-type has the Battle Focus Special Rule.
The following rules apply to all models with the Corrupted Sub-type:
• All models with the Corrupted Unit Sub-type gain the Fear (1) Special Rule.
• Any Hits inflicted on a model with the Corrupted Unit Sub-type by a weapon with the Force or Psychic Focus Special Rules gain the Instant
Death Special Rule.
• Any unit composed entirely of models with the Corrupted Unit Sub-type is immune to the effects of the Fear (X) Special Rule, automatically
passes Regroup tests, and cannot choose to fail a Morale check due to the Our Weapons Are Useless Special Rule. When a unit composed
entirely of models with the Corrupted Unit Sub-type fails a Morale check it does not Fall Back as per the standard rules, but instead suffers D3
automatic Wounds with no saves or Damage Mitigation rolls of any kind allowed.
• No unit that does not also have the Corrupted Unit Sub-type or the Daemon Unit Type may join a unit that includes one or more models with
the Corrupted Unit Sub-type.
The following rules apply to all models with the Guardian Sub-type:
• Units including models with the Guardian Unit Sub-type may Embark freely upon models with the Transport Unit Sub-type and within
Buildings and Fortifications as if they had the Infantry Type, even if their Unit Type would normally restrict this.
• Units including models with the Guardian Unit Sub-type may be joined by friendly models with the Character Unit Sub-type or Independent
Character Special Rule, and when they are joined in this manner may make Reactions, even if their Unit Type would normally restrict this.
• If a unit contains any models with the Guardian Unit Sub-type as well as one or more models with the Character Unit Sub-type, any Wounds
which would be allocated to the Character (even those caused by the Precision Strikes (X) or Sniper Special Rules) may instead be allocated to a
model with the Guardian Unit Sub-type first.
• Unless they are joined by a friendly Character, all models with the Guardian Unit Sub-type suffer the following provisions:
- Reduce their Movement Characteristic by -2 and may not Run.
- Reduce their Initiative Characteristic to 1.
274
RILLIETANN UNIT SUB-TYPE
The most enigmatic of all the Aeldari, the Rillietann - Harlequins, in low gothic - were masters of war and performance in equal measure. Their blend of
theatrical storytelling and combative finesse combined into a unique - and supremely dangerous - style of warfare.
The following rules apply to all models with the Rillietann Sub-type:
• Any model with this Sub-type has the Fear (1), Move Through Cover, Hit & Run, Chosen Warriors, and Furious Charge (1) Special Rules.
• Models with this Sub-type may only be taken in a Saedathii Detachment.
The following rules apply to all models with the Sycophantica Sub-type:
• As long as a unit including models with the Sycophantica Unit Sub-type also includes at least one model with the Character Unit Sub-type, the
unit may make Reactions, even if their Unit Type would normally restrict this.
• A model with the Sycophantica Unit Sub-type may fire all weapons they are equipped with in each Shooting Attack they make, including as
part of a Reaction where eligible.
• Models with the Sycophantica Unit Sub-type may fire Heavy and Ordnance weapons and count as Stationary even if they moved in the
preceding Movement phase, and may declare Charges as normal regardless of any Shooting Attacks made in the same turn.
• Models with the Sycophantica Unit Sub-type ignore any penalties to their Initiative Characteristic when Charging into or through Difficult
Terrain or Dangerous Terrain.

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.
Artillery Cannon
Designed to bombard the enemy from long range, the deployment of artillery was a vital component of the Imperium’s military doctrines.
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.
294
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.
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.
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.
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.
295
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.
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.

with horrifying ease.
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

Shuriken Weapons
Rather than the crude ammunition of other races, shuriken weapons fired bladed disks at supersonic velocities to shred their targets.
All weapons listed here are counted as ‘Shuriken’ weapons for those rules that affect such weapons.
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.

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.
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

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

Additionally, a Machinator Array incorporates a Flamer and a Meltagun. A model with the Battlesmith (X) Special Rule may add +2
