Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Space Marines (section)

===Imperial Fear bomb===
with so many ld modifiers you can stack penalty from different detachments to stacking up to like '''-15Ld'''. Obviously ''you don't need that'' much spooky (but of course can be hilarious when used correctly), especially not against things like Orks, but already '''-4Ld renders Plague Marines as cowardly as Conscripts''', and models that flee don't proc FnP-equivalents. Best used by a '''Fearsome Aspect''' chapter so you don't have to commit like 5 units to a single enemy. Of almost no use against the bunch of Eldar morale immunities out there...but ironically among imperial, only the DA, some successor chapter tactic nobody will use, the Valhallan relic, a single IG psychic power, and [[Warhammer 40,000/Tactics/Imperial Guard(8E)#Universal|that IG trait nobody uses, because it's not Master of Command,]] can offer the morale protection needed to survive an Ld bomb. ''Night Lords, eat your hearts out''.
*with 9th changes, Fear bombs are less effective. No longer a unit is destined to die during the moral phase after only a portion is killed. Fear bombs only need to stack enough penalty for the moral test to proc as a means of killing additional models instead of a guaranteed wipe.  
*Here's a list of the {{W40Kkeyword|Imperial}} units that stack with Fear Made Manifest:
*{{W40Kkeyword|Adeptus Astartes (-5Ld)}}: Besides the '''Fearsome Aspect''' chapter trait (-1Ld), Fear Made Manifest Warlord trait (-1Ld), {{W40Kkeyword|Reivers}} (-2Ld) and can deepstrike. Being Phobos, they also work alongside a Hallucination {{W40Kkeyword|Phobos Librarian}} (-1Ld), who can infiltrate. Master of Sancatry's The Emperor's Judgment (roll 2d6 for moral). ''These sources of debuffs can quickly arrive wherever you need them''. 
**{{W40Kkeyword|Black Templars}} '''(-2Ld)''': Chaplain '''Vow of Retribution'''.
**{{W40Kkeyword|White Scars}} '''(-2Ld)''': '''Spirits of Chogoris''', '''Headtaker's trophies''' relic.
**{{W40Kkeyword|Raven Guard}} '''(-2Ld)''': '''Decapitating Blow''', '''The Abyss'''.
**{{W40Kkeyword|Salamander}} '''(-3Ld)''': '''Helm of Drakos''', '''Draconic Aspect'''.
*These other Imperial allies also give Ld debuffs but prevent the SM detachment from using Doctrines. Pass, unless they are your main detachment and SM, are the allies.
**{{W40Kkeyword|Dark Angels (-3Ld)}}: '''Interrogator Chaplains''' have a natural -1Ld aura, they have the '''Eye of the Unseen''' relic for further -1Ld, and Interromancy's '''Mind Wipe''' inflicts -1Ld (and will proc more often with your help), along with other Ld powers. ''That's -3Ld from two characters with Jump Packs''.
**{{W40Kkeyword|Blood Angels (-1Ld)}}: The '''Sanguinor''' has a natural -1Ld aura, as does anyone wearing a Sanguinary Mask.
**{{W40Kkeyword|Inquisition (-1Ld)}}: Psykers '''Terrify''' inflict -1Ld from 18" away, and disable overwatch. 
**{{W40Kkeyword|Astra Militarum (-3Ld)}}: Psykana's '''Terrifying Visions''' inflict -2Ld from a safe 18" away. {{W40Kkeyword|Armageddon Officers}} can also bring the '''Skull Mask of Acheron''' to spook nearby enemies. Bringing them in a Spearhead detachment grants you access to Russes with '''Objective Secured''' and Basilisks. ''Versatile, powerful and easy to use at range. Complements your close-and-personal units''.
**{{W40Kkeyword|Adeptus Mechanicus (-2Ld)}}: '''Sicaran Infiltrators''' are the Mechanicum's ''faster'' Reivers, and {{W40Kkeyword|Metallica}} has a -1Ld Stratagem.
**{{W40Kkeyword|Questoris Knights (-2Ld)}}: The '''Fearsome Reputation''' trait inflicts -1Ld in a huge 12" aura around the Knight warlord's huge base (which can be an extra warlord using a stragatem), and a total of -2Ld to enemies within 6" of it. And bringing a Knight as an ally isn't something unheard of.
