A Battlegroup Primus tactical squad

Unique Wargear, Special Rules and Psychic Powers

Wargear

Secundus Darkfire Rounds - Special Ammunition, any enemy hit by a weapon with Darkfire Rounds counts as visible for the purposes of Night Fight.

Secundus Hellfire Rounds - Models armed with hellfire rounds may fire them using a sniper rifle instead of a boltgun. This uses the rifles maximum range of 36".

Darkfire Flare Rifle - 24" range, S4, AP-, Assault 1. Darkfire Rounds. If the target is hit by the Flare Rifle, the rest of the wielder's squad can reroll any misses when shooting at the same target in that phase.

Narthecium Glaive - Power Weapon. Can be wielded in 2 hands to give +1S. Alternatively, can be used to make 1 poisoned (2+) attack which does not ignore armour. If an enemy takes an unsaved wound from this special attack, they must pass a strength test. If this is failed the target suffers instant death as the massive injection of industrial-strength tranquilizers send them into a coma and paralyze all bodily functions.

Tactical Dreadnought Armour - Among most chapters terminator armour is used to deploy whole squads of marines as unstoppable shock troops. The Nightmares do not have the numbers for these usual tactics. Consequently the terminators deployed by Primus Battlegroup are a more adaptable breed. Independent characters wearing terminator armour receive the Among Equals special rule. When withdrawing from combat terminators may elect to retreat towards other terminators, so long as there is a clear path.

Signs of the Sleepless - +1A, +1I, -1Ld. The character with Signs of the Sleepless must take a Leadership test at the start of each of the controlling player's turns. If failed at any point the unit succumbs to psychosis for the rest of the game, and any to hit rolls of 1 for shooting or close combat will hit his own unit or the nearest friendly unit within range.

Prophetic Dreams - After both sides have set up roll a dice for each non-vehicle enemy unit on the table. On the roll of 1, the character has been forewarned of the unit in his dreams and gains Preferred Enemy against it for the rest of the game.

Dreamcatcher - Once per game, a character with a Dreamcatcher may add or subtract 1 from his Leadership. This ability may be used at any time and lasts until the end of the player turn.

Redundant Systems - Counts as Extra armour and Power of the Machine Spirit. Redundant Systems can only shoot ordnance weapons in direct fire mode and their range is halved if the vehicle has moved.

MI Shoulder Mount - Based on the same mind impulse sensor technology that allows a crippled marine to pilot a dreadnought. Shoulder mounts were originally designed to attach ranged weaponry onto Icelus dreadnoughts while keeping the hands of the walker free for melee combat. Their use has since spread to the rest of the chapter's dreadnoughts. Although historical examples exist, mass deployment of dreadnought shoulder weapons is a unique trait of the Emperor's Nightmare chapter. Shoulder mounted weapons have a 90 degree arc of fire fixed on the right shoulder of the walker. If a dreadnought possesses a CCW with an integrated storm bolter, it may be moved to a shoulder mount instead and retained if the CCW is destroyed or exchanged for another weapon.

Unique Psychic Powers

Living Nightmares - The Librarian reaches into the minds of his foes, seeding horrid waking dreams into their consciousness which leave them disoriented at best. Pick an enemy unit within 18" and roll a D6 and consult the table below.

1 - You take me for a fool!? - The foes see through the hallucinations. Your opponent may move the target 2D6" in any direction, and that unit may not be affected by Living Nightmares for the rest of the game

2 - Irritation - The foes are distracted by the dancing images. The target is at -1I and will only move and assault 5" in the ensuing turn.

3 - Confusion - The victims are baffled and frightened by what he sees. He must pass a Ld test at -1 each time he wishes to move, shoot, use a psychic power, or assault in the next turn.

4 - Panicked response - The victims believe these wicked phantasms to be real, and fire wildly at them until their ammunition is spent. The enemy is now low on ammunition, and unless they spend a full turn reloading all their weapons (Not moving, shooting or assaulting) they fire one less shot than they should (To a minimum of zero) and they lose their +1A for having a pistol and close combat weapon in assault.

5 - Horror- The victims are badly shaken by their visions. They are at -1 to their WS, BS and Ld for the next turn.

6 - Despair - Their minds ravaged by the intensity of their horrific waking nightmares. The enemies flee wildly, clawing at themselves and attacking hallucinations and each other. The target must immediately fall back, and takes 2D6 hits of a strength equal to the unit's majority strength.

The Blackest Night - The Librarian swathes the battlefield in impenetrable gloom, enabling his fellows to advance unseen. This power grants 1 friendly unit within 24" a 5+ cover save. If they are already in cover, it simply adds +1 to the save given.

Special Rules

Sleep Beckons: Although the chapter's Dreadnoughts are supported by interfaces which prevent their chassis becoming non-functional when the sleep takes them, these technologies are complex and a touch crude. At the beginning of the game, after deployment but before the first turn, roll a dice for each non-Icelus dreadnought in your army. On the roll of a 1, sleep threatens to take the afflicted dreadnought. From the 2nd turn onwards do a leadership test for each afflicted dreadnought with a penalty equal to the turn number -1. If this is failed the dreadnought falls asleep, its WS and BS are reduced by -2. If there is another Dreadnought or a Techmarine on the field this penalty reduced to -1.

Redundant Crew: Because of the danger that a vehicle's crew will fall asleep at any moment. The crew of Nightmare fighting vehicles include an extra member when possible. Each crewmember is extensively crosstrained to allow them to take over in the event that another marine is incapacitated.

If a vehicle is shaken at the start of your shooting phase, roll a dice. On a roll of 4+ all shaken effects are ignored and the vehicle may shoot normally. On a roll of 1 this ability is lost because one of the crew has fallen asleep. This rule has no effect on Crew Stunned results, even if the vehicle has Extra Armour.

Ramming Tactics: Accounting for the possibility that one's gunner may not be available at a critical moment. The drivers of Nightmare fighting vehicles have long practiced the art of ramming enemy vehicles and troops. Utilizing the armoured hull of their vehicle as a weapon in its own right. Any vehicle with a dozer blade adds +1 to its front armour when resolving Death or Glory and Ram checks. A unit resisting tank shock from such a vehicle does so at a penalty of -1Ld.

Among Equals: The rarity and priceless nature of the chapter's terminator armour has forced the Nightmares to be adaptive when deploying them. Terminator squads often stand together or split apart at a moments notice to fit the situation on the battlefield. Each and every terminator is a leader in his own right and will command or follow his brothers without hesitation.

Any number of models or squads wearing terminator armour may join together into a single unit. A unit of 6 or more terminators may then split into smaller combat squads of 3 or more models. These can be composed of any models within a joined squad. Independent Characters attached to a squad may not leave it if the total number of models would drop below 3.

You may join OR split models once at the beginning of the movement, shooting and assault phase. Any action you take must respect unit coherency rules at all times.

Thureos

The forty-sixth Terminator.

350pts

WS7, BS5, S5, T4, W4, I8, A4, Ld2, Sv2+

Unit Composition: 1 (Unique)

Unit Type:Infantry

Wargear: Terminator Armour, Chainfist.

Special Rules; Fearless, Fleet of Foot, Eternal Warrior, The Ancient Dreamless, Terrifying Presence, Loyal to No One

The Ancient Dreamless: Thureos has gone without sleep for so long, evaded capture for so long, that his thoughts and actions have truly become one. He suffers no penalties from wearing Terminator Armour, and he strikes in initiative order with his chainfist.

Terrifying Presence: Thureos is a uniquely terrifying figure, his hulking Terminator Armour seeming to barely weigh him down as he hacks his way through the battlefield. Any unit within 6" of Thureos has -1Ld. This penalty is increased to -2 if he is in base contact.

Loyal to No One: Although Thureos has perfect recollection of his time in the Emperor's Nightmare, his lunacy has distorted his vision to the point where he sees them as enemies of the Emperor. If Thureos is fighting in the same combat as other Emperor's Nightmares, Thureos can choose to direct attacks upon them. For each wound caused he gains an extra 2 attacks he may use immediately. However, the Nightmares are well aware of the danger this madman poses. At the start of the shootng phase, any Emperor's Nightmare unit within 12" of Thureos must pass a Leadership Test at -1 or lose their nerve and open fire on him. Sleepless do not need to test, nor can Thureos attack Sleepless in this manner.

Taheton Hector

2nd Company Captain, The Red Dawn

195pts

WS6 BS5 S4 T4 W3 W3 I5 A3 Ld10 Sv2+

Unit Composition: 1 (Unique)

Unit Type: Jump Infantry

Wargear: Hypnos and Thanatos, Artificer Armour, Bolt Pistol, Frag and Krak Grenades, Iron Halo, Jump Pack.

Special Rules: Strike Hard Strike Fast, And They Shall Know No Fear, Combat Tactics, Independant Character

Hypnos and Thanatos: These lovingly constructed lightning claws were part of a slew of gifts from the Adeptus Mechanicus as thanks for the Nightmare's handing over of the Icelus Pattern blueprints. On the back of each claw is a symbol of the Mechanicus, each a compact teleport homer which relays details of the battle, as well as Hector's own vital signs, to his chapter.

Master-crafted lightning claws. Hector counts as being equipped with a teleport homer. In addition if a unit deep strikes via drop pod and lands within 6" of him they may fire their weapons twice in the ensuing shooting phase. If Hector is removed as a casualty in combat, a retaliatory S10 AP1 Large Blast orbital bombardment will be centered on his last position. The blast must scatter D6", if a hit is rolled the direction will be determined by the arrow on the hit sign.

Strike Hard Strike Fast: Hector specializes in launching a single overwhelming strike to the enemy's vitals, and the forces under his command are well-briefed and in full knowledge of their exact role. Once per game, the controlling player may choose to reroll any reserve roll he makes for that turn.

Leander Nyseos

6th Company Captain, Claw of the Dusk

165pts

WS6 BS5 S4 T4 W3 I5 A3 Ld10 Sv3+

Unit Composition: 1 (Unique)

Unit Type: Infantry

Wargear: Power Armour, Iron Halo, Power Weapon, Bolt Pistol, Astartes Sniper Rifle, Frag and Krak Grenades

Special Rules: And They Shall Know No Fear, Combat Tactics, Independent Character, From the Shadows, No Place for Maniacs, Claw of the Dusk.

From the Shadows: Above all, the resource valued most by Battlegroup Secundus is surprise. Any squad joined by Captain Nyseos count their weapons as Pinning if the Night Fighting rules are in effect or they attack from more than 12" away.

Claw of the Dusk: Captain Nyseos is an expert at directing his forces into spectacular ambushes, day or night. If Nyseos is in your army, any unit may exchange the Combat Tactics special rule with the Infiltrate universal special rule.

No Place for Maniacs: Captain Nyseos would not have his plans ruined by the berserking Sleepless. Any army led by Nyseos cannot include Sleepless or Waking Dead Dreadnoughts.

Supreme Dreamwalker Theodore Dymas

Chief Librarian, The Fist of the Dreaming

240pts

WS5 BS5 S4 T4 W3 I4 A2 Ld10 Sv3+

Unit Composition: 1 (Unique)

Unit Type: Infantry

Wargear: Power armour, Sword of Aurelia, Plasma pistol, Psychic Hood, Frag and krak grenades

Sword of Aurelia: According to the records this intricate force sword was a gift from the Blood Ravens chapter in an effort to ease tensions between the two chapters. The Blood Ravens have no record of this transaction. The complex circuitry inlaid into the hilt and blade allow Theodore to control his power beyond his already-impressive limits.

Master-crafted Force Weapon. Theodore Dymas may cast 3 psychic powers per turn. Once per game he may give up one of these powers in order to make Invulnerable the armour or cover save of himself and any squad he joins. This effect lasts until the controlling player's next turn.

Special Rules: And They Shall Know No Fear, Combat Tactics, Independent Character, The Fist of the Dreaming, Prophet of Slumber

The Fist of the Dreaming: Theodore Dymas knows all of the psychic powers available to Emperor's Nightmare librarians.

Prophet of Slumber: Almost every moment of rest for Dymas is a vivid vision of the future and the past, shattered and shifting as it may be. It does not allow him to properly predict the future, but he is able to "remember" pivotal events a second or so before they happen. Dymas has the Preferred Enemy special rule against all enemies, and confers this upon any squad he joins. Furthermore if he is removed as a casualty in close combat, he will have taken the liberty of priming a parting gift for what should best him: A pair of krak grenades, which confer 2D3 S6 AP2 hits upon the model who took his last wound.

Honoured Brother Tibalt

The Everseer

240pts

WS6 BS4 S6 F13 S12 R10 I3 A3

Composition: 1 Dreadnought (Unique)

Unit Type: Vehicle (Walker)

Wargear: Dreadnought close combat weapon with integrated storm bolter, Force Weapon, Smoke Launchers, Extra Armour, Psychic Hood, Ironclad Assault Launchers

Options:

• Replace Dreadnought close combat weapon with:

-Assault Cannon - 5pts

-Plasma Cannon - 5pts

-Twin-linked Lascannon - +15pts

Psychic Powers: Brother Tibalt may select 2 of the Psychic Powers normally allowed to an August Dreamwalker in Iron.

Dedicated Transports: May select a Drop Pod.

Special Rules: Everseeing, Psychic Pilot, Fire of Ages, Ancient Authority, Venerable,

Everseeing - Tibalt does not see the world like his fellows. Bathing his senses in the nebulous world of lucid dreams, he views things not by their material appearance but by the strength of their souls. Tibalt never has to roll for sight for night fighting, and anything which would obscure his vision (Dark Eldar Night Shields, the Stealth USR) is ignored. In addition, he has the Preferred Enemy rule when striking independent characters or monstrous creatures. However, because of the unreliability of this vision the controlling player must roll a D6 at the beginning of each turn. On the roll of a 1 he cannot move or shoot and will be hit automatically in close combat. He may not assault under these conditions, but will still defend himself if attacked.

Ancient Authority: Though he no longer commands troops in person, Tibalt has always had a knack for leadership and his very presence steels the hearts of his fellows. During the enemy opponent's assault phase you may designate a friendly unit within 12" of Tibalt. That unit gains the Counter Attack special rule and count as being equipped with Defensive Grenades for a single assault phase.

Chief Apothecary Eidelan

Shepherd of the Dreamless

120pts

WS5 BS4 S4 T4 W2 I4 A2 Ld10 Sv3+

Unit Composition: 1 (Unique)

Unit Type: Infantry

Wargear: Power Armour, Narthecium Glaive, Bolt Pistol, Narthecium, Frag & Krak Grenades

Special Rules: And They Shall Know No Fear, Combat Tactics, Independant Character.

Shephard of the Dreamless: Eidelan has spent more time tending to the Sleepless than perhaps he should, for he finds them a fascinating and terrifying picture of what they all might become. Thus he has worked out ways of curtailing their wrath. At the beginning of the Movement phase, if Eidelan is part of a Sleepless unit he may try to use a powerful mix of depressants in his Narthecium to reduce their psychosis by taking a leadership test. If failed, there is no effect. If passed the Sleepless lose their Rage for the rest of that turn, but must immediately take a Dangerous Terrain test to represent the mind-warping effects of that powerful a concoction

Terror Tactics: Eidelan knows well how best to form the Sleepless under his command into a howling wall of terror which renders the enemy insensible with fear. When charging into combat with a unit of Sleepless, the charged unit suffers a -2Ld penalty.

Prophetic Blueprints - Like a lot of the Chapter, a Master of the Forge may be visited by nebulous visions of the future.

On the roll of a 1 the Master of the Forge and any unit he is with have Tank Hunter against this vehicle, and the Master of the Forge counts his weapons as Master Crafted against it.

Dedicated Transport: If the squad does not have Jump Packs, it may select any dedicated transport.

Special Rules: Rage, Fearless, Furious Charge

Faltering Reality: The Sleepless are so crazed that they can barely distinguish friend from foe. If there is no Independant Character within the unit it must take an Ld test each movement phase. If this is failed the squad must move as fast as they can towards the nearest unit (Friend or Foe), fire at it (Even if after the movement phase there is a closer unit) and, if possible, assault this unit. If the unit is friendly it attacks back as usual, but do not fight in the enemy's turn and if the Sleepless pass their test the next turn, combat immediately ceases. If a double 6 is ever rolled for this leadership test, the Sleepless go absolutely berserk. Every unit (Friend or Foe, excluding other Sleepless) within 2D6 takes 2D6 S5 hits. Vehicles are hit on their side armour. After this, remove the unit from play.

Phobetor Dreadnought

0-2

100pt

A single Phobetor Dreadnought may be fielded for every 5 Sleepless in your force, to a maximum of 2.

WS4 BS4 S6 F12 S12 R10 I4 A2

Unit Composition: 1 Dreadnought

Unit Type: Vehicle (Walker)

Wargear: 2 Dreadnought Manipulator Arms with integrated Narthecium Glaives. 1 Shoulder Mounted Storm Bolter.

Dedicated Transport: May select a Drop Pod

Special Rules: Apothecary in Iron, Hands That Heal Can Also Destroy, Only in Death, The Nightmare Ends, They Deserved Better!.

Apothecary in Iron: A Phobetor dreadnought possesses the same Narthecium carried by a regular apothecary, integrated directly into his hands. At the end of the movement phase a Phobetor Dreadnought may grant one unit within 3" the Feel No Pain rule until the start of their next turn. If one of the units in range is the Sleepless, the FNP must be granted to them over other units. If both manipulator arms are destroyed the Phobetor loses its ability to grant FNP.

Hands That Heal Can Also Destroy: Manipulator arms are dreadnought CCWs that have been modified for increased dexterity. In place of guns they have been mounted with Narthecium Glaives to aid with caring for the Sleepless. They may be used to attack normally at S10 or de-powered to use the glaive's +2 poisoned attack. A single glaive attack can be made per hand, plus a third if both arms are undamaged.

Only in Death: A Phobetor pilot will not abandon his charges under any circumstances. The walker must remain within unit coherency with the Sleepless at all times, or else move to join them at top speed. So long as one remains within range, even as a vehicle wreck, Phobetors grant +1Ld to the Sleepless in addition to FNP.

The Nightmare Ends: If all of the Sleepless are killed each Phobetor remaining must take a leadership test at Ld6 to check for APOTHECARY RAGE. If it succeeds the Phobetor becomes an independent Apothecary in Iron for the rest of the game. If the test is failed the Phobetor goes berserk and must charge the closest enemy unit and attack it until all have been destroyed. If you have two Phobetors on the field and the first succeeds the test, the second may reroll once.

They Deserved Better!: If more than half of the Sleepless are killed by enemy ranged attacks before the entire squad is wiped out. Phobetors automatically fail the leadership test and receive +1WS for the rest of the game.

Transport Capacity: Twelve models, one Dreadnought or one Thunderfire Cannon

Special Rules: Inertial guidance System, Immobile, Drop Pod Assault

Starshatter Array: One recognized danger of drop pod assaults is landing nearby a prepared enemy. Despite the speed of deployment marines are very vulnerable in the few seconds the doors take to drop. To help mitigate this danger it is common for Primus companies to attach special packages of grenades to the exterior of thier drop pods. Upon landing these explode with a variety of effects, showering the nearby area with flares, blind grenades and sonic charges.

A unit arriving by drop pod equipped with a starshatter array benefits from a 5+ area cover save. If assaulted, the unit may gain Defensive Grenades OR the Counter Attack rule.

Avialae Beacon Pod

??pts (work in progress, needs testing)

BS4 F12 S12 R12

Unit Composition: 1 Drop Pod

Unit Type: Vehicle

Wargear: Strike Beacon, Guidance Beacon, Smoke Launchers.

Special Rules: Falling Star, Redundant Guidance Systems, Beacon Pulse, Immobile, Drop Pod Assault

Falling Star: An Avialae pod does not decelerate during planetfall and impacts the ground with tremendous force. This partially buries the pod in the ground and causes an explosion of debris and shrapnel. The landed pod always benefits from a minimum 5+ cover save. (Except for direct hits from barrage weapons.) When a pod lands, all friendly units within 6" (including the pod and other vehicles) count as having defensive grenades until the next deployment phase.

Redundant Guidance Systems: This rule replaces Inertial Guidance Systems. If the pod scatters the deploying player may choose the direction of movement OR reroll the dice once. It is possible that the pod may be unable to land on open ground. Perhaps you royally fudged a reroll. If this occurs the pod is destroyed, resolve an orbital strike centered on the point of impact and remove the pod from play. If you choose not to deploy the pod on your first turn. From turn 2 onwards you may replace any successful reserve roll with the pod and deploy it instead.

Beacon Pulse: For every turn that the pod is on the table (including immediately) the pod may activate one or both of its beacons during the deployment phase. Using a beacon does not count as firing a weapon so smoke launchers may be activated freely. However both beacons do count as weapons for the purpose of calculating vehicle damage. Beacons can be repaired by a techmarine, but any attempt (successful or not) will make the pod open-topped for the rest of the game.

Beacons must activate one at a time. If a beacon is destroyed the corresponding ability is lost.

Strike Beacon: Target an orbital strike within 6" of the pod and roll for scatter. This attack benefits from the pod's BS4 and may be used once per turn to a maximum of 3 shots.

Guidance Beacon: One unit in reserve OR any unit of terminators in your army (including one on the table!) may immediately deep strike to the pods location. Units must arrive within 12" of the pod and benefit from a Locator Beacon if within 6". Terminators teleporting from elsewhere on the table must appear within 3".

Predator

60pts

BS4 F13 S11 R10

Unit Composition: 1 Predator

Unit Type: Vehicle (Tank)

Options:

• May take side sponsons with:

-heavy bolters for +25pts

-lascannons for +60pts

• If sponsons are not taken, the tank may have spaced armour for +20pts

• May take any of the following:

-a storm bolter - +10pts

-a hunter-killer missile - +10pts

-a dozer blade - +5pts

-extra armour - +15pts

-redundant systems - +30pts

• One predator tank in your army may have a tank commander for +40pts

Spaced Armour: Spaced armour plates are large sheets of armour hung on the sides of the tank and turret. They help deflect projectile weapons and cause explosive weapons to detonate early, thereby protecting the tank. A Predator tank with spaced armour has its side and rear armour increased by 1. The tanks turret mounted main gun ignores the first two Weapon Destroyed results directed against it.

Tank Commander: 3rd company is well known for the rolling onslaught of its armoured assaults. This expertise is concentrated in its veteran tank commanders who are often seconded to other companies. A tank commander increases the BS of his tank by 1 and grants it the Repair special rule. If the tank is wrecked or destroyed, it becomes immobilized instead and the BS of the vehicle is reduced to 4 until the vehicle is repaired.

Tank commanders are armed with a bolt pistol. They will use it to attack any enemy attempting to plant a grenade on the tank or strike the tank with a melee weapon S6 or higher. Your opponent may choose to avoid this penalty, but their units will no longer automatically hit rear armour.
