‘In war, even the wisest strategist is measured by the manner in which they set forth upon their conquests – for only the foolish or the desperate do so without fulsome preparation and studious review of the strategies of both allies and enemies.’ The Praefatio de Bellum This book forms the foundation of a new age for the Horus Heresy. Within this book you will find a Space Marine Legion Army List redesigned for this new edition of the Warhammer Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness rules, containing all the units, rules and heraldry needed to represent any of the Loyalist Legions or the rare warriors who chose to betray their Primarchs – with the Traitor Legions detailed in their own volume, the Liber Hereticus. Those seeking to collect armies of the Loyalist Legiones Astartes and those who wish to use them to engage in battle using the Warhammer Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness rules will find this book key to their endeavours. Rules for those warriors and war machines common to all the Space Marine Legions are fully detailed, as well as for the unique units and tactics of the following Space Marine Legions: • I st – Dark Angels • V th – White Scars • VIth – Space Wolves • VIIth – Imperial Fists • IXth – Blood Angels • X th – Iron Hands • XIIIth – Ultramarines • XVIIIth – Salamanders • XIXth – Raven Guard This book is not a stand-alone product. In order to make full use of the rules provided herein, a copy of the Warhammer Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness rulebook is required. Additionally, certain specific units, Rites of War and special rules may require the use of other Liber books for the use of that unit or rule only – in such cases it will be specifically noted as part of that rule which books are required.

The Legiones Astartes Army List T his Army List represents the Legiones Astartes forces from their apex of glory in the final years of the Great Crusade to the infamous Age of Darkness during the Horus Heresy. Unlike the Space Marine Chapters of the 41st Millennium, the Space Marine Legions fielded a diverse range of military formations and unique war machines. This Army List allows players to construct a wide variety of armies and Detachments to represent these different styles of warfare, and utilise largescale divisions in specialised tactics and deployments represented here by a system unique to the Legiones Astartes known as the Rites of War. A Detachment selected from this Army List is considered to be of the Legiones Astartes Faction, with its specific Legion determined by the variant of the Legiones Astartes (X) special rule in use (for example, all models in a Detachment whose units have the Legiones Astartes (Blood Angels) special rule would have the Blood Angels Faction). Note that all units selected as part of a given Detachment must have either the same variant of the Legiones Astartes (X) special rule, or no variant of that special rule. In addition, material found in other Horus Heresy volumes will add further diverse and unique characters to the forces of the Space Marine Legions, and will clearly indicate where such additional units or characters are part of the Legiones Astartes Army List. The following comprises a full listing of the warriors and war machines of those Space Marine Legions that remained loyal to the Emperor of Mankind during the dark age of the Horus Heresy. It includes Army List Profiles for the vast panoply of the Legiones Astartes at the height of their power, allowing players to build and field Space Marine Legion armies. This volume also includes details on the Loyalist Legions, the specialist units and leaders of those forces as well as the rules needed to represent them on the battlefield. ‘Core’ and ‘Expanded’ Army List Profiles All Army List Profiles for the Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Age of Darkness range are divided into two categories: Core units and Expanded units. All of the units in this book are ‘Core’ units. These represent the mainstay of the Legiones Astartes and are supported by a wide range of miniatures. Expanded units will have rules for their use provided in supplementary PDF downloads available from the Games Workshop website, White Dwarf magazine or other places. Both types of unit may be freely used in any Horus Heresy battle, and this category does not affect their availability as part of an army or Detachment or the rules for their use during a battle. As new units and models are released, their Army List Profiles will clearly state if those units are Core or Expanded units, and future publications may shift the category of a given unit, with any such changes clearly noted in the unit’s Army List Profile.
The Legiones Astartes at War: Building a Space Marine Army In games of Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness, the models under a given player’s control are referred to asthat player’s army. Each army is composed of a single Force Organisation chart, which will include one or more Detachments, and an army whose Primary Detachmentisselected from this Army Listis considered a Legiones Astartes, or Space Marine, army. Other, non-Primary, Detachmentsin the same army may be selected from any other Army List, but each Detachment may only include unitsfrom a single Army List, unless anotherspecialrule states otherwise. Allegiance and the Legiones Astartes This volume presents those Legions of which the majority chose to remain loyal to the Emperor, however, that does not mean that they can only be used to represent armies of the Loyalist Allegiance. Factions both large and small within each of the Legions chose to defy their Primarchs and fight for the allegiance they deemed the true destiny of the Imperium and, as such, players should feel free to use this volume to create armies from those Legions that were historically loyal, but that have chosen to follow the Traitor Allegiance. The only exception to this rule is a unit that has a special rule or other note that forces it to use the Loyalist Allegiance. Such units will have this exception prominently noted in their Army List Profile. Before selecting an army, players should first decide on the Allegiance (Loyalist or Traitor) of the army – this choice will apply to all units in the army, across all Detachments included as part of the Force Organisation chart, and units or models that must be of the opposing Allegiance may not be included in the army. Once Allegiance has been determined, a points limit must be set for the battle – this is the maximum number of points worth of units that may be included in any individual army. A points limit of 3,000 is considered ideal for the average Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness battle. Each player will use the points from this limit to add units to their army, with each unit worth a number of points as shown on its Unit Profile in the Army List, with many units including a number of options that may be selected for a listed number of additional points. A player may choose to spend less than the agreed points limit, but may not spend more than that limit. Once the points limit has been agreed upon by all players, each must select a single Force Organisation chart before spending any points to select units. The Legiones Astartes (X) Special Rule The various Legions are differentiated by means of the Legiones Astartes (X) special rule. When assembling a Legiones Astartes army, a single variation of the Legiones Astartes (X) special rule is chosen and no unit in the Primary Detachment may include any models with a different variation of this special rule. All special rules, Wargear options and Rites of War that apply to that version of the Legiones Astartes (X) special rule (see the Loyalist Legions section of this volume, beginning on page 148) may be used by the army where appropriate, as defined by those rules and options. Other Detachments in the army, such as Allied Detachments or Lords of War Detachments, may have a different version of the Legiones Astartes (X) special rule. In which case no models in the same Detachment may have a different version of the Legiones Astartes (X) special rule to the one chosen for that Detachment. Models within a non-Primary Detachment are affected by all the special rules for the version of the Legiones Astartes (X) special rule chosen for them, as well as access to any Wargear options and special units.
Force Organisation Charts and Detachments The maximum and minimum number of units that may be included in a given army is defined by a Force Organisation chart, of which there is one basic chart available – the Crusade Force Organisation chart. Other publications may make additional Force Organisation charts available, and these will clearly note if they are available for use by a Legiones Astartes army. Any Force Organisation chart is made up of one or more Detachments. A Force Organisation chart will always include one Primary Detachment, which must be selected, and may also include a number of optional Detachments which a player may choose to use or ignore. Each Detachment that a player chooses to use as part of their army must use a single Army List, which determines the Faction of that Detachment. Most optional Detachments are not required to be the same Faction as the Primary Detachment, but some Detachments may have special rules which require them to be of a certain Faction (and thus use a specific Army List). Detachments of different Factions in the same army will have additional special rules that determine how they interact (see page 12). Each Detachment is composed of a number of boxes, each linked to one of the Battlefield Roles presented in the Horus Heresy: Age of Darknessrulebook. Each of these boxes allows the player to make one selection from the section of their Army List that includes units of the same Battlefield Role. Dark boxes indicate Compulsory selections, which must be included as part of the Detachment, while the lighter boxes indicate optional choices, which are only included as part of the Detachment if the player in question choosesto do so. If constructing a Primary Detachment using the Crusade Force Organisation chart, this would mean that the Primary Detachment would be required to take at least one HQ choice and two Troops choices. These Compulsory choices are intended to ensure that the core of each Detachment isillustrative of the force represented by the Army List in use, and are capable of properly participating in the varied missions available to playersin the Age of Darkness. Sometimes, a single choice in a Detachment may allow you to select more than one unit, or to vary the Battlefield Role of the unit selected. In all cases, such deviations from the normal procedure will be fully explained in the Force Organisation chart that the Detachment is part of. Each unit selected to fill a box in any single Detachment must be chosen from the same Army List, and must be of the same Battlefield Role as that of the box. The unit profile in the Army List will dictate the number of points from the points limit that must be spent to add the unit to the player’s army. Players continue to spend points to fill boxes in Detachments within the chosen Force Organisation chart until either they run out of points, fill all boxes in all available Detachments or the player chooses to stop.
Crusade Force Organisation Chart Primary Detachment (Required) • Compulsory: 1 HQ, 2 Troops • Optional: +2 HQ, +4 Troops, +4 Elites, +3 Fast Attack, +3 Heavy Support, +1 Fortification, +1 Primarch Allied Detachment (Optional) • Compulsory: 1 HQ, 1 Troops • Optional: +3 Troops, +2 Elites, +1 Fast Attack, +1 Heavy Support Lords of War Detachment (Optional) • Compulsory: 1 Lords of War The dominating presence of Lords of War and Primarch units can unbalance even the largest battles, and so additional restrictions are applied to these Battlefield Roles in order to ensure the most enjoyable experience for all players. Lords of War and Primarch choices may only be included in an army whose total points value is at least 2,000 points, as long as the Force Organisation chart in use has the appropriate slots. In addition, the combined points value of all Lords of War and Primarch choices present in an army may not exceed 25% of the army’s total points cost, unless specified otherwise by the mission or Force Organisation chart being used. This means that the maximum combined points value for any Lords of War and Primarch choices included in the more common army sizes in the Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness is as follows: 2,000 points 500 points 2,250 points 563 points 2,500 points 625 points 2,750 points 688 points 3,000 points 750 points 3,250 points 813 points 3,500 points 875 points Lords of War and Primarchs in the Age of Darkness Total Army Size Maximum Combined Lords of War/ Primarch Value
Allies in the Age of Darkness During the Age of Darkness, the Space Marine Legions were riven by treachery and distrust; where once they had stood as brothers one and all, now old rivalries and grudges guided their association. Any Legiones Astartes army which includes more than just a Primary Detachment may be composed of units of two or more of the Factions that make up the various armies fighting in the Horus Heresy, as long as each individual Detachment is entirely comprised of models of a single Faction. When your army incorporates units from more than one Faction, this section explains how those models will interact with each other. Factions and the Legiones Astartes The wars of the Horus Heresy were fought between a number of Factions, most of which were present to some degree among both the Loyalist and Traitor armies. Each of the eighteen Space Marine Legions forms a single Faction, each differentiated by the version of the Legiones Astartes special rule that units of that Faction possess, with examples of other Factions being the Mechanicum and the Imperial Army. In all cases, units of these Factions may be from either the Traitor or Loyalist Allegiance. There also exists an Agents of the Emperor and Agents of the Warmaster Faction – models of these Factions are always either Loyalist (Agents of the Emperor) or Traitor (Agents of the Warmaster) and may not be selected in an army of the opposing Allegiance.
Factions and Army Lists While the various Space Marine Factions are represented by any army that is composed of the appropriate version of the Legiones Astartes special rule and the Legiones Astartes Army List, the other Factions are represented by several Army Lists. The Mechanicum Faction represents all armies using the Taghmata Omnissiah Army List, or any variation of it, as well as the Questoris Knights Army List. The Imperial Army Faction represents all armies using the Solar Auxilia or Imperialis Militia and Warp Cults Army Lists or any variation of them. In some cases, as more Army Lists are released in future publications, it may be initially unclear which Faction a certain army should operate under. In such cases, the players should agree on a Faction for that Detachment before the battle begins. The Age of Darkness Allies chart shows the relationship between these various Factions which, in turn, dictate how units of those Factions behave in battle when included as part of the same army. Age of Darkness Levels of Alliance To represent the long history of grudges, sworn compacts and battle-tested oaths that exist between the various Factions of the early Imperium, the Age of Darkness Allies chart is used. When an army features two or more Factions amongst its Detachments then the controlling player should check the chart to establish the level of Alliance that exists between them, and how that will affect the various units of those Factions in play. Each of the various levels of Alliance is described here, as well as the rules associated with them. Some Profiles may refer to ‘allied’ units; in these cases, all units not part of the same Faction as the Primary Detachment are considered ‘allied’ units. Sworn Brothers The closest of allies who have fought beside each other many times. The two forces are considered ‘friendly units’ in all regards. This means, for example, that Sworn Brothers may be joined by allied Independent Characters, are treated as friendly units for the targeting of special abilities, Warlord Traits and so on. Note: Not even Sworn Brothers can Embark in allied models with the Transport Sub-type, and rules that affect a particular force owing to its Legiones Astartes special rule do not carry over to Sworn Brother allied units. Fellow Warriors The two forces are willing to fight together for common cause against their foes. Units in your army treat other units at the Fellow Warriors level of Alliance as not being part of the army, with the exception that they may not be deliberately targeted, attacked, targeted with special abilities, etc, (note that Blasts and the like may still scatter over allied forces and adversely affect them). Fellow Warriors cannot benefit from the effects of allied Warlord Traits or be joined by allied Independent Characters, and are not counted as friendly units for the purposes of special abilities. In essence, the two forces fight alongside each other without any additional positive or negative effect. Distrusted Allies The two forces can make common cause against an enemy, but never fully trust each other due to a long-standing feud or inherent antipathy. Models in the Allied Detachment are treated exactly like Fellow Warriors except that units in this Allied Detachment are never counted as Scoring units and may not hold Objectives (see the Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness rulebook). By the Emperor’s (or the Warmaster’s) Command The two forces will only ever fight beside each other in the direst of circumstances or by the direct command of their overlord, be they the Emperor or the Warmaster. The two forces are dealt with as Distrusted Allies but, in addition, whenever a unit is within 6" of a unit that is part of a Faction that falls under this level of Alliance then both units reduce their Leadership by -1 until they are no longer within 6" of any unit from that Faction that is part of the same army. Agents of the Emperor (or Warmaster) Some units are described as Agents of the Emperor (notably the Talons of the Emperor – the Legio Custodes and the Silent Sisterhood), or Agents of the Warmaster. These are always treated as Sworn Brothers to either all Loyalist or all Traitor forces respectively.
Warlords of the Legiones Astartes When choosing your army, you must nominate one model to be your Warlord. Unless specified otherwise, this must be a Character model and a HQ choice from the Primary Detachment of the army. In Legiones Astartes armies, Praetors and Centurions make ideal Warlords. If you do not have any appropriate Character models in your army then select any other model in your army to be the Warlord. The model you choose as your Warlord must be from the Primary Detachment of the Force Organisation chart in use. In some cases, a model will have a special rule that dictates that the model in question must be selected as the Warlord, such as a Primarch. When this is the case, that model is always the Warlord regardless of any other factors. An army may not include more than one model that must be selected as the Warlord, unless another special rule contains an exception to this rule. Rites of War Selecting a model with the Master of the Legion special rule asthe army’s Warlord will grant the controlling player accessto a number of Rites of War. Each Rite of War makes a number of unique options available to the player – many of which include new ways of organising or deploying the army. Fullrulesfor Rites of War can be found in the Appendix: Legiones Astartes Rites of War section on page 96. Warlord Traits Your Warlord is a potent force upon the battlefield. Not only are they a mighty hero, with all the skills and renown you might expect from the leader of a great army, but over the course of a long career they will also have picked up specialised abilities, which we refer to as ‘Warlord Traits’. Each Warlord has one Warlord Trait, chosen during army selection, from the list of Core Warlord Traits (or another list of Traits made available as part of that model’s Allegiance or Faction) and noted on the player’s Army List or roster. Some special rules attached to certain Factions or models may allow a Warlord to select Warlord Traits other than those presented in the Core list – such rules will specifically note which other Traits may be selected. Characters with Set Warlord Traits Some Character models will have a special rule that specifies a Warlord Trait that must be used if that model is selected as the army’s Warlord. If such a unit is your Warlord, do not select a Warlord Trait – instead, that unit automatically has the listed Warlord Trait. Note that the unit will only gain that Warlord Trait if it is your Warlord. If another model is selected as your Warlord then that Character will not have any Warlord Trait, even if there is a Trait listed in its Profile. Death of the Warlord If your Warlord is removed as a casualty during a battle, any abilities or special rules granted by their Warlord Trait are immediately lost. If the Warlord Trait in question conferred a special rule that allows an unusual method of deployment from Reserves (such as conferring the Outflank ability on certain units), that special rule is immediately lost and the affected units must instead deploy from Reserves in the normal fashion. The exception to this rule are Rites of War – even if the Warlord and any other models with the Master of the Legion special rule in the army’s Primary Detachment are removed as casualties, the effects of a Rite of War remain in effect until the end of the battle.
Core Warlord Traits A Legiones Astartes Warlord may select one of the following Warlord Traits or may select a Warlord Trait presented in the specific version of the Legiones Astartes special rule that applies to the Primary Detachment (as long as the Warlord also has the Legiones Astartes special rule). Bloody-handed Some warlords are only satisfied by the clash of blades and the screams of the enemy as they fall before them. For such warriors strategy is but a means to an end, a tool by which they can bring their forces into the brutal crucible of the melee as soon as possible. There, in the heart of battlefield they seek victory at any cost. Any combat with at least one friendly model within 12" of this Warlord, or a combat which includes this Warlord, gains a bonus of +1 to the number of Wounds caused for the purposes of combat resolution. In addition, an army whose Warlord has this Trait may make an additional Reaction during their opponent’s Assault phase as long as the Warlord has not been removed as a casualty. Stoic Defender This warlord is a rock, the hard place against which his foes are dashed and broken. When the enemy surges forth they do not foolishly go to meet them, but dig in so that the enemy may exhaust themselves against the defences prepared for them. In the end, victory comes to those willing to endure the fires of battle and emerge unscathed from its fury. Any friendly unit joined by a Warlord with this Trait that makes a Shooting Attack will force the target unit to make a Pinning test if it suffers any unsaved Wounds. In addition, an army whose Warlord has this Trait may make an additional Reaction during their opponent’s Shooting phase as long as the Warlord has not been removed as a casualty. Ever-vigilant Always ready to take advantage of the foe’s weakness, this warlord is a master of predicting and exploiting the flow of battle. Where the foe advances, this warlord falls back to better ground, and where the foe retreats, this warlord advances, for victory is fickle and only falls into the grasp of those prepared for any eventuality. When this Warlord, and any unit he has joined, Runs during the Movement phase, it adds the value of the Warlord’s Initiative Characteristic, increased by 1, to the distance moved, rather than the lowest Initiative Characteristic in the unit. In addition, an army whose Warlord has this Trait may make an additional Reaction during their opponent’s Movement phase as long as the Warlord has not been removed as a casualty. Army List Profiles and Miniatures The Army List Profiles presented in this book relate to miniatures available in the Citadel and Forge World ranges, and in most cases it is clear which sets relate to which Profile. Many Profiles however have a range of upgrade options that may not be represented in a particular set of miniatures, but are available as upgrade sets – for example a Tactical Support Squad is made by upgrading a Legiones Astartes Tactical MkVI Squad with the Legion Special Weapons Upgrade Set. In other cases, models have available to them weapons options that are found in other sets – the Space Marines range benefits from being extremely modular in nature, and so players will often find they have plenty of spare weapons or Wargear that they can use on other models. For example, if you need a bolt pistol for a Tactical Squad Sergeant, you are likely to have one already that fits in your collection.
HQ “A ll the galaxy has come to dread the might of the Legiones Astartes, but it is not the fury of their guns or the keen edge of their blades that should be feared – but the wisdom of their warlords.” Grand Marshal Edhar Maderoste ofthe 445th ‘Cererean Gatekeepers’ Cohort ofthe Solar Auxilia
HQ Praetors are the mightiest warriors and battle-leaders of the Space Marine Legions, second only to the god-like Primarchs in martial skill and generalship. These lords of the Imperium hold the power of life and death over whole worlds, with the direct control of entire war fleets and armies in their hands. Each is a vastly experienced warrior and warlord, unique in character, who has writ a legend in blood for themselves, and carries into battle the finest wargear and weapons known to humanity.

Master of the Legion The greatest commanders of the Space Marine Legions are all but peerless in their strategic and tactical abilities. The gene- craft of the Emperor that created them, honed by individual talent and the experience of countless battles, has sharpened their acumen to a preternatural degree. The Master of the Legion special rule grants the following benefits: • Rites of War: If a Detachment with the Legiones Astartes Faction includes at least one model with the Master of the Legion special rule then that Detachment may select a single Rite of War. Rites of War are presented in the Appendix: Legiones Astartes Rites of War, found on page 96. • The Few and the Proud: An army may only include a maximum of one model with this special rule per 1,000 points. This counts across all Detachments of an army. Thus, an army that totals at least 1,000 points may include only a single model with the Master of the Legion special rule, and an army that includes at least 2,000 points may include up to two models with the Master of the Legion special rule, etc. • Retinue: A model with this special rule may also include a Legion Command Squad, Legion Cataphractii Command Squad or Legion Tartaros Command Squad as part of the same Force Organisation slot as the model with the Master of the Legion special rule. The full rules for doing so can be found in the Appendix: Legiones Astartes Special Rules on page 124.
HQ Amongst the greatest commanders of their Legions, seasoned by years of war and masters of front-line combat, praetors that choose to march to battle clad in Cataphractii Terminator armour place great value in its enhanced resilience, capable as it is of stoically weathering even the heaviest of incoming fire. Massively armoured and bearing its own powerful armaments, Cataphractii Terminator plate is favoured by those warlords that are often engaged in the thickest fighting, leading their warriors as they advance upon enemy lines or teleporting into the most perilous war zones as part of precise and overwhelming attacks against strategically vital targets. Many venerable lords of the Space Marine Legions trust in the superior protection Cataphractii plate provides even though more technologically advanced patterns of Terminator armour have been introduced, its distinct hulking form having become synonymous with the ferocious conquest of hundreds of battlefields.

Tartaros pattern Terminator plate is particularly favoured by those lords of the Legions who prefer a fluid, lightning-fast approach to warfare, such as the sublime lord commanders of the Emperor’s Children or the fierce khans of the White Scars, its enhanced sensory systems and neurofibre uplinks ensuring the superior manoeuvrability needed for them to spearhead assaults on enemy positions.
HQ The ranks of each Space Marine Legion stand a hundred thousand strong or more, and as such require a substantial core of battle commanders and officers to control and co-ordinate, as well as more specialised ranks and roles which help give a Legion its operational depth and strategic flexibility. The centurion represents such leaders, champions and line officers, and whether a company captain in command of a thousand or more Legionaries on-campaign, or a shieldlieutenant given charge of a boarding party in a savage space battle, to have risen in the ranks means they have already demonstrated their worth in the bloody fires of conflict.

Legiones Consularis Among the many officers of the Legiones Astartes, there are those with unique talents and hard-won skills that are honoured with the title and rank of consul. These warriors lead the Legion into battle and conduct the most arduous of missions, called upon by their lords when the specialised knowledge they guard is required in the struggle for victory and the demise of the foe. Any Legion Centurion may select a single Consul upgrade; no model may take more than one such upgrade.

HQ When facing heavy resistance, many centurions will march to war clad in Cataphractii Terminator armour, leading their subordinates into the thickest fighting. Line centurions lead massed ranks of Space Marines in the field of battle, the superior durability and protection afforded by Cataphractii suits greatly increasing the survivability of such a perilous duty. Certain specialists among the Legiones Consularis show particular preference for Cataphractii pattern Terminator armour, such as the Legion siege breakers that are expected to storm a breach in enemy fortifications, primus medicae officers ensuring that the gene-seed of their fallen brothers is safely collected from the battlefield or the Legion forge lords, masters of artifice who are often found in the heart of battle repairing damaged vehicles and incanting words of supplication to beleaguered machine spirits.

In war zones designated as Zone Mortalis, such as the contested decks of a void warship or the nightmarish labyrinthine complexes of hive cities, where mobility and speed are important factors to achieve strategic objectives, centurions clad in Tartaros suits storm enemy positions at the head of their troops to crush even the toughest enemy resistance. Legion champions, especially those among the ranks of the Sons of Horus and Blood Angels Legions, often place their trust in the speed and protection offered by Tartaros Terminator armour to quickly close the distance with their foes, while Legion Mortificators rely on it to keep pace with the indomitable advance of their Dreadnought brethren on the battlefield.
HQ It is common for Space Marine commanders and champions to be accompanied in battle by a squad of highly disciplined and worthy warriors. They serve both as a bodyguard for their commander and are entrusted to carry one of the Legion’s great standards, making them a rallying point on the battlefield for the Legion’s troops. These chosen Space Marines have access to the finest wargear available to the Legion’s rank and file, and embody the Legion’s honour in war.

HQ Many command squads go to war clad in Cataphractii Terminator armour, using its sheer bulk and durability to protect the life of their commander. Able to withstand even the most vicious blows and bearing the finest weaponry in the Legion’s armoury, these exemplary warriors embody the finest qualities of the Legiones Astartes, valiantly spearheading assaults into the most hazardous of war zones holding the Legion’s banners high. Cataphractii armour is amongst the earliest marks of Terminator armour to be issued to the Legions and, as such, the most experienced veteran Legionaries often choose it over more recent marks, preferring its proven superior protection to serve them in the duty of safeguarding their commander in battle.

HQ When both speed and survivability are required, a command squad will march to war clad in Tartaros Terminator armour, often forming the point of the Legion’s spear. More technologically advanced than the Terminator armour marks it was developed alongside, Tartaros plate was initially a rarity compared to the more widely-available Cataphractii pattern armour. As such, Legion commanders equip their most worthy warriors with it and deploy them at the very forefront of battle. These paragons of their Legion’s ideals accompany their commander into the maelstrom of war, where the speed and protection afforded by their Tartaros Terminator armour assures a swift and decisive blow can be dealt to secure victory.

Using these systems, skilled Techmarine crew are able to read the ebb and flow of battle, call in reinforcements, and ward off enemy forces through signal interference and interdiction targeting. Designed to meet the requirements of the ever- expanding Ultramarines Legion, the Damocles was both easier to manufacture and deploy than the venerable Proteus Explorator Land Raider variants, which commonly fulfilled this role during the Great Crusade’s early years. Despite this, the Damocles was just as capable in its task but, unfortunately, far less durable than its counterparts, being based on various patterns of the ubiquitous Rhino chassis.
Elites “W hen the darkness presses close, pretty words and subtle plans mean nothing – all that matters then is the courage to stand and the strength to fight.” Korval Whitemane, Varagyr ofthe Space Wolves
ELITES Exceptional and experienced warriors within the ranks of the Space Marine Legions are quickly singled out and honoured with additional training in all aspects of warfare and equipped to the highest standards, so to further amplify their battlefield power. Certain Legions will further separate their veterans and raise them above the ranks by inducting them into warrior brotherhoods, martial cults or specified veteran companies. This serves to create an elite body within the Legion to which other warriors can aspire to ascend to, and from which future commanders are drawn.

ELITES One of the first issued Tactical Dreadnought Armour patterns, the Cataphractii suits are more heavily protected than any other pattern of armour, with slablike ceramite pauldrons housing additional shield generators. The armour’s design has the unfortunate side effect of overstraining its exoskeleton and slowing the wearer considerably. This deficiency is seen as a weakness by some Legions and has led to the pattern’s declining use in their ranks. Yet, at the outbreak of the Horus Heresy, Cataphractii armour remains amongst the heaviest variants of Terminator armour and is capable of weathering almost any form of attack.

ELITES The fruition of the Tactical Dreadnought Armour project, Terminator suits are the ultimate advance in personal armour technology the Imperium has developed. Terminator squads match these formidable developments with the finest veteran forces of the Legions to form devastating frontline assault units, able to withstand the heaviest enemy fire and deliver a hammer blow to crush the foe with ruthless power. Terminator armour-equipped units are particularly valuable in heavy close-quarter fighting, such as battles fought in the deep confines of hive cities or in starship boarding actions. Perhaps the most advanced form of Terminator armourever designed, Tartaros armour offers greater durability and protection than power armour whilesacrificing none of the latter’s mobility.

ELITES The origins of the Destroyer squads lie in the Unification Wars of Terra, but perhaps surprisingly not with the forces of the Emperor but his enemies. Considered dishonourable by some Legions who make little use of them or eschew them altogether, the Destroyers are equipped with and expert in the use of otherwise proscribed and forbidden weaponry. Alongside certain factions of the Mechanicum, only Destroyer cadres have license to use such forbidden devices. Rad weapons, bio-alchem munitions and the crawling burning horror of phosphex are among their dark arsenal—weapons which irrevocably taint the ground on which they are used. Marked by their fire- blackened and chemscalded armour, Space Marine Destroyers are often shunned and deemed somehow tainted by their battle-brothers in many Legions and considered at best a necessary evil, although the effectiveness of their relic weapons cannot be denied. Legion Destroyer Squads often take to the battlefield equipped with Warhawk jump packs, allowing them to rapidly redeploy during battle to maximise the destructive capabilities of their weapons.

Used less as an application of strategy and more as a tool of extermination, the Mortalis Destroyer squads are set loose when no surrender can be expected from an enemy and no escape allowed. In the close confines of sundered fortress-citadels, the contested decks of void warships or the labyrinthine industrial complexes of hive cities, they deploy weapons born of the nightmarish horrors of Old Night to not only kill their adversaries but also contaminate the battlefield with a radioactive fall-out that ensures a hideous drawn- out death for any further targets that approach the area. Favoured particularly by the Death Guard Legion, as well as the Nemesis Chapter of the Ultramarines Legion who use them as the ultimate sanction, the Mortalis Destroyer squads were deployed extensively by Legions on both sides of Mankind’s civil war as the Horus Heresy progressed and the desire to utterly annihilate their erstwhile brothers intensified.
ELITES A Legion’s Apothecaries carry its most sacred trusts – the care of its fallen and the promise of its future. Serving as battlefield healers it is an Apothecary’s task to proffer aid to the wounded, return the injured back to the fray and minister final mercy to thosein need of it. From those beyond help, they have the onerous duty of recovering the Legion’s gene-seed zygotes for implantation in future generations of Space Marines. Thesetasks require skill, learning and above all courage – for it is one thing to fight an enemy, and quite another to turn from battle and tend to the fallen in the midst of war when all around is a whirlwind of slaughter, heedless of safety. 0-1 Legion Apothecarion Detachment ...45 Points M WS BS S T W I A Ld Sv Legion Apothecary 7 4 4 4 4 1 4 2 8 3+ Unit Composition • 1 Legion Apothecary Wargear • Bolt pistol • Chainsword • Narthecium • Frag grenades • Krak grenades • Power armour Unit Type • Infantry (Character) Special Rules • Legiones Astartes (X) • Apothecarion Detachment Options • A Legion Apothecarion Detachment may include: - Up to 7 additional Legion Apothecaries....................................+45 points per model • Any Legion Apothecary may take one of the following: - Magna combi-weapon..................................................................+10 points per model - Minor combi-weapon......................................................................+5 points per model - Volkite charger.................................................................................+2 points per model • Any Legion Apothecary may exchange his chainsword for one of the following: - Power weapon................................................................................+10 points per model - Charnabal weapon ........................................................................+10 points per model • Any Legion Apothecary may exchange his power armour for: - Artificer armour.............................................................................+10 points per model • Any Legion Apothecary may take one of the following: - Legion Warhawk jump pack.........................................................+15 points per model - Legion Spatha combat bike...........................................................+15 points per model - Legion Scimitar jetbike.................................................................+25 points per model

ELITES Regarded by many as the most advanced and powerful pattern of Dreadnought in the arsenal of the Great Crusade, the Contemptor is a relatively recent design that incorporates not only traditional Dreadnought technologies, but arcane systems drawn from the ancient and guarded lore of the Legio Cybernetica of the Mechanicum. Principal among these is a compact atomantic arc-reactor more powerful by far than anything of its size in Imperial manufacture. The abundance of energy it generates can be used to grant the Dreadnought frame speed and strength as well as power defensive energy field systems to further increase its battlefield durability. These advantages over the older Lucifer and Castraferrum pattern Dreadnoughts however are not without their price. The Contemptor requires higher levels of maintenance than most previous designs, while the arc-reactor if breached is prone to catastrophic failure, dooming the Contemptor chassis to utter destruction. Regardless, the Contemptor’s power has found it a place within every Legion and demand for the new chassis is high.

ELITES One of a number of similar designs utilised by the Imperium’s armed forces, Rapier carriers are semi-automated tracked weapons carriers with on-board targeting systems and power generators. Designed to mount support weaponry too large and cumbersome for even the superhuman strength of a Space Marine to carry, the Rapier’s relatively small size and mobility makes it a perfect support weapon both in defence and offence where larger field artillery and armoured vehicles cannot go due to their size or weight. The most common armaments mounted on the Rapiers of the Space Marine Legions are quad heavy bolters and laser destroyer arrays, for anti-personnel and anti- armour use respectively, while so-called ‘thudd gun’ multi-launchers are favoured for siege warfare and suppressive fire. More rarely, a Legion’s Techmarines will also use Rapier carriers as mounts for more exotic weaponry for special operations, such as the graviton cannon.

TROOPS Tactical squads are the mainstay of the Space Marine Legions and the force by which the Great Crusade has reconquered much of the galaxy. It is by the fighting power of thousands of superhuman warriors such as these, armed and armoured for battle in the harshest of environments and the deadliest of war zones that the enemies of Mankind have been crushed time and again. The Legion Tactical squad is a highly flexible infantry unit, able to attack or defend at will, assault heavily fortified positions and take and hold strategic objectives or simply slaughter an enemy comprehensively in almost any terrain or situation.

TROOPS When close-quarter fighting is expected, Legion Tactical squads will be equipped in the ‘Despoiler’ role, a term that refers to Tactical Legionaries that forgo the standard bolter in favour of alternative weaponry. Despoiler squads are often armed with bolt pistols and chainswords, offering them increased flexibility during boarding actions or trench warfare. On the battlefield, Despoiler squads engage the enemy line directly, carving a bloody path through entrenched foes, shattering their morale and slaughtering all who do not flee.

TROOPS Jump pack-equipped assault squads are rapid attack forces whose wargear is optimised towards close quarter fighting and hit-and-run tactics. The use of jump packs allows assault squads to move with great speed across the battlefield and impact the enemy line with savage force, leaping past intervening terrain and open defences to engage their adversaries in bloody melee. The needs of even limited flight systems however preclude the use of heavy weaponry or extensive munitions supplies. Jump pack equipped assault squads are not embraced to the same extent by all of the Legions for reasons of combat doctrine, temperament or simple resource difficulties, with the Raven Guard and Night Lords being among their greatest proponents. Even those Legions who do not favour the use of assault squads, such as the Death Guard and Iron Hands, will field a force of them when the need arises.

TROOPS The most hazardous and desperate spheres of warfare such as boarding actions amid the cold void of space and the forlorn hope of the first wave of attackers into a breached fortress domain can prove lethal beyond endurance, even for the warriors of the Legiones Astartes. For this reason, since the early days of the Great Crusade, specialised forms of wargear and tactics have been under continuous development to cope with these ‘Zones Mortalis’ and certain Legions such as the Imperial Fists, World Eaters and the Iron Warriors have even made these bloody modes of warfare their particular concern. Breacher Siege squads are units of Space Marines equipped with specialised arms and armour designed to enable them to act as a vanguard in such missions, including heavy ablative shields to resist enemy fire and specialised breaching charges and lascutters to bypass bulkheads and shatter strongpoints.

TROOPS Tactical support squads are mobile fire-support units that replace the utilitarian bolter of their comrades with more specialised weapons, enabling them to cope with particular battlefield threats or enemies. Operating in close order with the Legion’s other troops, the support squad’s firepower enables a battlefield strike force of Space Marines to act with even more versatility and engage a wider range of targets on its own terms. The most common armaments used by tactical support squads are flamers, which are ideal for urban warfare, bunker and trench clearance, as well as eradicating xenos life forms from an area. Rapid- firing rotor cannon are used against large numbers of lightly-armed foes, thermic energy meltas for tank-busting, and, where available, plasma and volkite weapons against the most heavily-armoured and monstrous enemies.

TROOPS The eyes and ears of the Legion in the field, Reconnaissance squads are formed from experienced Space Marines expert in operating independently and often deep behind enemy lines. This is a task for which they are armed and equipped with a variety of specialised wargear including longrange weaponry, sensor- auspex and stealth gear. They perform the function of scouts and intelligence gatherers, identifying targets and gathering information on enemy movements and strengths. They also serve the Legion as pickets, saboteurs, raiders and snipers where needed, and in open battle are expert in sudden flanking manoeuvres and infiltration attacks in support of their main force.
