Editing

Feel free to edit wordings to improve readability. Add anything you like to any of the Angry Codices, except the Angry Necrons, Dark Eldar and Daemons, for these documents you should instead first argue in the discussion page before adding or changing anything. If someone objects to something you have written or changed, you should civilly discuss and prove why your idea is good and how it fits with fluff/is more balanced etc. etc. If no conclusion can be made then the Angry Pirate has the final say, if he does not say anything remove any changes from the official codex. If you don´t agree with an edit the Angry Pirate has made you can write in the talk page of the relevant talk page or in my page by clicking the first blue link. Angry Pirate (talk)

SPECIAL ISSUE WARGEAR

SPECIAL RULES

BONDING KNIFE RITUAL

A unit consisting entirely of models with this special and Drones does not need a double 1 to Regroup if reduced to below 25% of its starting numbers, but instead tests as if it had at least 25% remaining.

SUPPORTING FIRE

When an enemy unit declares a charge, all friendly units with this special rule within 6" of the charging unit´s target can choose to fire Overwatch as if they were also targets of the charge. Note that a unit can still only fire Overwatch once each phase.

TARGET AQUIRED

Weapons with this special rule cannot directly cause damage or Wounds. Instead, each time a unit suffers a hit from a weapon with this special rule, place a markerlight counter next to it (no saves can be taken against these hits). At the end of your turn remove all Markerlight hits from all units.

Immediately before a unit with the Tau Faction shoots at a target you may use a number of markerlight counters to perform any number of the following actions:
Action: Markerlight cost: Effect:
Destroyer 1+ For each markerlight counter expended on this ability, a single destroyer missile may use its strength D profile.
Execute 2 All hits made by weapons with the Sniper special rule as part of this attack are ’Precision Shots’. Wounds from Precision Shots are allocated against a model (or models) of your choice in the target unit, as long as it is in range and line of sight of the firer, rather than following the normal rules for Wound allocation. A character that has a Precision Shot Wound allocated to it can still make a Look Out, Sir roll.
Pinpoint 1+ All models firing at the target as part of this shooting attack gain a bonus to their Ballistic Skill for the duration of the shooting attack equal to the number of markerlight counters expended. This action also affects Snap Shots and Overwatch.
Scour 1+ Subtract 1 point from the targets cover save against this shooting attack for each markerlight counter expended.
