====Forgeworld Specific Canticles====
If your warlord is drawn from a codex forgeworld replace one of the weaker canticles with one based on that models forgeworld. (Since it's based off the warlord a Stgyies army could benefit from the Mars canticle by having a Martian warlord). (Warlords from custom forgeworlds are stuck with codex canticles)

#'''Ryza''' - +1AP melee - a nice buff for a lot of our melee units.
#'''Mars''' - Heavy weapons +1S and no penalty for moving and firing - cawl castles will be happy. One of the best buffs you can get considering you don't get to reroll to wound rolls. Even better for Knights, use the knight of the cog strat and prosper.
#* +1S means RFBC gets S9 which actually turns it into a proper anti-vehicle gun. AGC especially endless fury can shred lighter vehicles with S7.
#* Knight Valiant/castellan gets S8 Siege Beaker Cannons that are not trash tier against vehicles. Also, Traitors Pyre would be S8 with rerolls to wound which is awesome!
#* Helverins get s8 autocannons and Moiraxes can threaten anything with S7 lightning locks and graviton pulsars. Graviton pulsars cna finally be effective against lighter vehicles.
#'''Lucius''' - +1 inv capped at 4++ - pretty strong once you've used shroudpsalm.
#'''Metalica''' -1 to enemy hit rolls (melee and ranged) if you are within 9" of the attacker. More useful against melee than shooting. Your opponent just needs to pull back so they at 10" away and your bonus goes away. (alternate take is that by the time they pull back to 10" they're going to have a hard time charging you.)
#'''Graia''' - overwatch on 5's - does nothing on Agripinaa units but is pretty useful considering our volume of firepower (a nice trick is swap to this canticle in the charge phase).
#'''Agripinaa''' - infantry and cavalry 5+ to shoot or fight once when they die. A free chapter banner but doesn't affect vehicles. Won't work well in every army, so you have to build around it. Also, can be a bit tricky to set up for, unless you know you are about to get your teeth kicked in by your opponent's beta strike. (alternate take Aggripinaa list's tend to be based around kataphron spam which have pretty decent firepower and range and are infantry so could be ok but doesn't play well with others.)
#'''Stygies''' - shoot after falling back but -1 to hit - situational but great in the right circumstances. Not one you want to roll up, but a potential target for Gloria Mechanicus.
