===Doctrina Imperatives===
Returning from 7E, your Skitarii got their boosts back...in a way. Instead of being essentially one of two different boosts with iterative tiers, you've got something more varied. As long as any {{W40kKeyword|Doctrina Assembler}} unit (Read: HQ and Datasmith) is on the field, they can swap it out at the beginning of the round and they last until the end of the round like canticles.  Also like canticles, you can't use one more than once per game, but also like canticles, they're optional - you can choose not to take ''any'' imperative for a round if you like.

*'''Aggressor Imperative:''' The unit adds +3" to their movement, but their armor saves degrade by -1. Great for closing the gap, but consider swapping out for another one as soon as possible.
*'''Bulwark Imperative:''' The unit's armor saves are improved by +1 to a max of a 2+ save, but the unit suffers -3" movement.
*'''Conqueror Imperative:''' The unit's WS improves by +1 but their BS is worsened by -1. More for your serberys and sicarians than the rest.
*'''Protector Imperative:''' The unit's BS improves by +1 but their WS is worsened by -1. For your rangers and vanguard, this isn't really a concern, so feel free.
