Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Dark Angels (section)

==Crusade Additions==


*'''Hunting the Fallen:''' This is the undertone of the entire set of crusade rules. After every battle, you gain an unforgiven point. Certain agendas in the crusade rules also grant a number of unforgiven points. When you reach 20 or more unforgiven points, you may enact a capture mission to capture a fallen agent.
**You enact the mission by spending all your Unforgiven points. You opponent will add a Fallen agent to their roster, which will function in the same manner as an agent of the inquisition does for a normal Imperium list. This fallen agent can be either a space marine captain or a space marine librarian. Cypher can no longer be used due to lacking the ''Imperium'' keyword. The captain cannot use rites of battle, the librarian knows only smite. If that model is still on the table at the end of the battle, the enemy warlord gains 3xp.
*'''Requisition:''' These are DA-specific requisitions that can be purchased for Requisition Points.
**Interrogation: 0RP - After a battle in which any unit from your army destroyed a Fallen unit, select up to two units with the '''INTERROGATOR-CHAPLAIN''' or '''DEATHWING LIBRARIAN''' keywords. Roll 2d6; if you roll 2-9, one of the units get an upgrade. If you roll 10+, both units get an upgrade. Any given unit may have only one of the upgrades available in the appropriate table. Increase the unit's crusade point cost by 1.
***'''Interrogator-Chaplain''' Table: You may choose to: add 3" to the range of the unit's aura ability (Max 12"); learn one additional litany; in your command phase, if this model is on the battlefield and the litany of hate has not been recited by a friendly model, this model may recite the Litany of Hate in addition to any other litanies it may recite.
***'''Deathwing-Librarian''' Table: Add on to psychic tests when attempting to manifest an interromancy power; Each time this model manifests a witchfire power, add one to the mortal wounds inflicted; You can re-roll deny the witch tests for this model.
**'''Inauguration:''' 1RP. Select a unit from your army that destroyed a fallen unit in the preceeding battle. You may replace that unit with an outrider squad or bladeguard veteran squad if it is '''Primaris''', or with a Terminator squad, Relic Terminator Squad, Deathwing Terminator Squad, Terminator Assault Squad, attack bike squad, or bike squad if it is a non-'''Primaris''' unit. The new unit must be from the same chapter, cannot be exchanged if the exchange would cause your total power level to exceed your Supply Limit. The Unit, exchanged or not, gains the '''Inner Circle''' keyword, and if exchanged, has the same experience as the previous unit and gains battle honours appropriate to it's rank.
**'''Inner Circle:''' 1RP. Purchase this requisition when a Dark Angels unit gains a rank (other than the blooded rank). That unit gains '''Inner Circle''' and increases its power level. You may not purchase this requisition if it would increase your force's power level to exceed your supply limit.
**'''The Lion and the Wolf:''' 1RP. Purchase this requisition at any time. Select one '''Dark Angels''' '''Biker''' or '''Infantry''' unit model that is not a character. That model gains 1 attack and gains "'''Victory over the Sons of the Wolf'''": Each time this model makes a melee attack against a '''Space Wolves''' unit, add 1 to that attack's hit roll and wound roll.
*'''Agendas:''' 
**Capture the Fallen: Keep a Capture the Fallen tally for each unit from your Army. Each time a unit from your army destroys a Fallen unit, add one to their tally. Each unit gins 3xp for each tally mark on their sheet. At the end of the battle, your Warlord gains 3xp if any unit has killed a Fallen unit in that battle.
**None must Know: At the beginning of deployment, your opponent must select 5 units from those involved in the battle - excluding '''Dark Angels''' units. If 5 units cannot be selected, then your opponent must select all eligible units. You gain 1 Unforgiven point for each selected unit that was destroyed during the battle.
**Mental Interrogation: Keep a tally for each '''Dark Angels Librarian''' in your army roster. Each time it completes the following mental action, add 1 to the tally (3 if the psychic test is 11+): 
***Mental Interrogation - WC 4. You may attempt this psychic action if you have a '''Dark Angels Librarian''' within 12" of an Enemy Character. At the end of the battle, each unit with a mental interrogation tally gains 1xp for each mark on that tally. If the total of all tallies is 4-7, gain 3 unforgiven points. If it is 8+, gain 6 unforgiven points instead.
**Dark Rumor: If the Enemy Warlord was destroyed by an attack from a Deadwing, Ravenwing, or Inner Circle unit, that unit gains 3xp and you gain 3 unforgiven points. If that attack was a melee attack, gain 5xp and 5 unforgiven points instead.
**Encircle the Foe: At the end of the battle, you may select either 3 or 4 '''Ravenwing''' units (excluding '''Aircraft'''). Each of the selected units must be wholly within 9" of a different corner of the battlefield. Each selected unit gains 2xp.
**The Deathwing Cometh: If a '''Deathwing''' Unit destroys any enemy units on the turn it arrives using Teleport Strike, that unit gains 2xp. If a character was destroyed, that unit gains 3xp instead.
*'''Honorifics:''' Dark Angels Captains cannot be given Master of the Keep, Master of the Watch, Master of the Marches, Master of the Victuals. Instead you may choose from the following Honorifics:
**Master of the Deathwing: Belial or Terminator Captain only. Once per battle, if you use the Deathwing Assault strategem, it costs 0cp if this unit is on the battlefield
**Master of the Ravenwing: Sammael or Biker Captain only. Once per battle, the Swift Strike Strategem costs 0cp if this unit is on the battlefield.
**Keeper of the Unseen Ritual: Once per battle, if this unit is on the battlefield, one Battle Tactics Strategem costs 0cp.
**Master of the Watchers: If this unit is part of your crusade army, gain D3 unforgiven points.

<tab name = "Artificer Relics">
**Lion's Roar: Combi-Plasma Blaster - Boltgun is a standard boltgun, Plasmagun is assault 2 18' range s8 AP-3 D2. The Boltgun benefits from Bolter Discipline and both get Grim Resolve. So there is little reason for its bearer to move to twelve inches. Give it to either a GreenWing, Deathwing or a Techmarine HQ attached to a Plasma Squad and blast everything to slag at 18 inches. 
***The Lion's Roar used to be the better choice between Foe-Smiter and itself. However with the restrictions that requires a Space Marine HQ in your opponents army. Foe-Smiter comes off looking better in 9th. As Bolter Discipline & Grim Resolve gives it greater synergy with more units along with a longer standoff range. 18 inches will eventually have your Hellblaster squad be charged from a position they shouldn't be in. The only time time it isn't a waste if its attached model is a Terminator, has Artificer armor(i.e. a Techmarine or Master) or an Iron Halo on Independent Characters.
**Raven's Eyes: '''Ravenwing''' model only. This model can ignore any modifiers to move, advance, and charge. Each time the bearer makes a range attack, ignore any or all ballistic skill modifiers.

**Monster Slayer of Caliban: Replaces power sword, MC power sword, relic blade, or executioner's relic blade. S+2, AP-3, D2. Add 1 to attack rolls targetting a vehicle or monster unit.
**Shield of Calloson: Replaces storm shield, combat shield, or relic shield. Bearer has a 3+ invul save, and add 1 to armor saves made by this model.
