Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Space Marines (section)

===Relics===
If your warlord is a Space Marine Character, you can give 1 Character 1 relic, absolutely free. Weapon relics can only be taken by a unit that can take the weapon it's based on, and you have to pay for the base weapon. The Relics of the Chapter Stratagem could previously be used up to twice before the game started to take up to 2 more Relics. It's now spammable with SM codex 2019, though relics can't be duplicates and each one has to go to a separate character.

Named characters and '''{{W40kKeyword|vehicles}} cannot be given a relic'''. But only [[That Guy]] would try to force a Chaplain dread into the armour indomitus or something like that.

*'''Bellicos Bolt Rifle:''' Replaces a master-crafted auto-bolt rifle. 24" Assault 4 S5 AP-1 D2, to support your gunline. Basically The Primarch's Wrath but for Primaris, that doesn't need Bolter Discipline for 4 shots.
*'''Benediction of Fury:''' Replaces a Crozius arcanum. S+2 AP-2 D3, unmodified wound rolls of 6 do a mortal wound in addition to other damage. With Mantra of Strength and the right warlord trait, your Chaplain will become as deadly as a he is in the fluff. [[Asmodai|''REPENT, HERETIC! *Plonk*'']].
*'''Ghostweave Cloak:''' {{W40kKeyword|phobos}} model with a camo-cloak, -1 to the wound roll against this model. Give it to a Stealth Adept Captain to make him as difficult to kill as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ly8hMwNkR0E Remo Williams].
*'''Lament:''' Upgrades a master-crafted stalker bolt rifle's statline to S5 AP-2 D3, and successful wounds inflict a mortal wound on top of that. Single shot, but puts the big hurt on whatever it reaches.
*'''Purgatorus:''' Upgrades a bolt/heavy bolt pistol to Pistol 2 S5 AP-3 D2. It's a great alternative to a Plasma Pistol as it's cheaper and does more damage (2 shots) with no chance of killing the user.
*'''Reliquary of Gathalamor:''' Enemy Psykers must subtract 1 from Psychic tests made within 18" of the bearer. In addition, if the psychic power is not successfully manifested, roll a D6. On a 4+ the Psyker that attempted to manifest that psychic power suffers D3 mortal wounds. ''Niche, but useful to protect your units if your meta is psyker-heavy, especially if you didn't bring psykers of your own (like Black Templar)''.
*'''Standard of the Emperor Ascendant''': Ancients only. A bit different with the 8.5 codex, they've done away the 3+ for extra attacks. Now it boosts the range of the standard banner ability to 9", friendly units within 9" auto-pass morale tests, and enemies in the same range get -1 leadership. This certainly changes it's uses quite drastically from the auto take it was before to something more niche. Example uses include keeping Crusader squads from suffering under morale tests, or assisting in leadership bombs.
*'''Teeth of Terra''': Replaces a chainsword with a better one with S+1 AP-2 D2, and 3 bonus attacks instead of just 1. Good against hordes, better against multi-wound infantry like Primaris models and most characters. (Fun fact: this weapon is exactly the same as the Alpha Legion unique Relic "Blade of the Hydra." Coincidence? I think not!)
*'''The Armour Indomitus''': Infantry or Biker model only, they gain a 2+ armour save. Once per game, ''before taking a save'' you can also activate a 3+ invulnerable save until the end of the turn, useful as a panic button if your character runs into danger. Of use to anyone wearing power armour, it's worth noting this is one of the few ways to give a Primaris character a natural 2+ armour save, due to their inability to take Terminator armour.
*'''The Burning Blade''': Replaces a power or master-crafted power sword. S+3 AP-5 D2. Where the Teeth of Terra hits often, the Burning Blade hits HARD and nullifies all armour saves. Dangerous to monster and even vehicles sized targets, it's begging to be combined with a source of +1Str/to wound so it gets to harm MEQs on a 2+.
*'''The Honour Vehement:''' Friendly <chapter> units with the Shock assault ability always get the +1A instead of having to meet the criteria. So, useful for ongoing combats.
*'''The Primarch's Wrath''': Replaces a boltgun or master-crafted boltgun with an up-gunned storm bolter, making it 24" Rapid Fire 2 S5 AP-1 D2. Can be useful for those officers buffing your ranged units. Note that this relic gains the benefit from Bolter Discipline.
*'''The Shield Eternal''': Replaces a storm shield or combat shield, so available only to Captains, Company Champions, and the Terminator Librarian. Gives a 3+ invulnerable, and a 5+ Feel no Pain against Mortal Wounds. Some of the best protection you can give a Character you really want to keep alive.
*'''The Vox Espiritum:''' {{W40kKeyword|Primaris}} only. +3" to their aura abilities (2019 FAQ limited it to a max of 9"). Excludes psychic powers and litanies. ''Enjoy your Black Templars hat for now, Primaris...''
*'''Tome of Malcador''': Librarian only. He knows 1 additional power from any discipline he's has access to, which isn't the same as casting 1 additional power. Depending on what discipline you're using, hard pass. It can however be used to take powers from multiple disciplines. 

====Faith and Fury====

*'''Sacrosanct Rosarius:''' {{W40kKeyword|Master of Sanctity}} only. 3++ invuln save, patching his inability to get a Storm Shield.
*'''The Emperor's Judgment:''' {{W40kKeyword|Master of Sanctity}} only. Prevents opponents from re-rolling hit, wound, and damage rolls against him, and enemies must roll 2d6 drop lowest when taking morale checks within 6".

*'''Mortis Machina:''' {{W40kKeyword|Master of the Forge}} only. Relic Power Axe that is S+3 AP-3 D1d3, and does an additional 1 mortal wound to {{W40kKeyword|VEHICLE}}S on every failed save. 
*'''The Endurant Protector:''' {{W40kKeyword|Master of the Forge}} only. +1T, and gains a 4++ invulnerable save.

*'''Neural Shroud:''' {{W40kKeyword|Chief Librarian}} only. Adds 12" to the range of the Librarian's psychic hood, to get a veritable umbrella of denying.
*'''Vinculum Vitae:''' {{W40kKeyword|Chief Librarian}} only. Force Sword with +1 strength, and an unmodified wound roll of 6 inflicts d3 mortal wounds as damage instead of the normal d3 damage.

*'''Pennant of the Fallen:''' {{W40kKeyword|Chapter Ancient}} only. Models that attack with a melee weapon as a result of the Astartes Banner ability may make two attacks instead of one.
*'''Standard of Righteous Hatred:''' {{W40kKeyword|Chapter Ancient}} only. When resolving a shooting or melee attack made as a result of the Astartes Banner ability, a model's ballistic and weapon skill are 2+.

*'''The Angel Artifice:''' {{W40kKeyword|Chapter Champion}} only. Upgrades the save on the Champion to 2+, and the invulnerable save to 4+.
*'''Blade of Triumph:''' {{W40kKeyword|Chapter Champion}} only. Replaces the Champion's Master-Crafted Power Sword with a weapon with strength +2, AP-4, damage 3. ''WS2+ wounding on a 3+ = WS3+ wounding on a 2+''.

*'''Acquittal:''' {{W40kKeyword|Chief Apothecary}} only. Replaces a Bolt Pistol or Absolvor Pistol. 16" Pistol 1 S5 AP-3 D1, D1d6 when targeting Non-Vehicle, Non-Monster units.
*'''Healer's Aegis:''' {{W40kKeyword|Chief Apothecary}}. Friendly {{W40kKeyword|<chapter>}} Infantry ''models'' have a 5++ invulnerable save while within 1" of a model with this relic.
