Army rules

What every Agents of the Imperium army brings to the table, whichever detachment it is built on.

2 rules

Kill Team

Each time an attack targets this unit, if it contains models with different Toughness characteristics, until the attacking unit has finished making its attacks, use the Toughness characteristic of the majority of the models in that unit when determining what roll is required for that attack to successfully wound. If two or more Toughness characteristics are tied for majority, use the highest value.
For the purposes of determining which models in this unit can embark within a TRANSPORT, Kill Team Terminator models, Kill Team Outrider models, Kill Team Biker models and models equipped with a jump pack each take up the space of 2 models, but can otherwise embark within any TRANSPORT their unit can embark within, even though similar models in other units have the TERMINATOR, MOUNTED or JUMP PACK keywords.

For the purposes of interacting with terrain features, all models in units with this ability are considered INFANTRY models, even though similar models in other units may have the MOUNTED or JUMP PACK keywords.
Designer’s Note: While the abstractions in the above rule cause some models to behave differently to similar models in other units, they are designed to minimise complicated movement, TRANSPORT and Benefit of Cover rules.

When mustering your army, each OFFICIO ASSASSINORUM unit from your army has the relevant Extremis ability shown on the right, and you must increase the points cost of each of those units by the amount shown. If this causes your army to exceed the points limit for the battle you are playing, you cannot include that unit in your army.

The selected model is destroyed (ignoring any rules that are triggered when a model is destroyed) and this model is removed from the battlefield and set up again as close as possible to where that destroyed model was and not within Engagement Range of one or more enemy units. This ability cannot be used more than once in the same battle round.

Once per battle round, you can target this model with the Heroic Intervention or Counter-offensive Stratagem for 0CP, and can do so even if you have already used that Stratagem on a different unit this phase.

▪ Micromelta Rounds 20 pts These projectiles are tipped with miniaturised melta charges that detonate on impact. VINDICARE ASSASSIN models only. This model’s exitus rifle has the [ANTI-MONSTER 4+] and [ANTI-VEHICLE 4+] abilities.
