This model can be attached to the following units:

■ Assault Intercessor Squad ■ Infernus Squad ■ Intercessor Squad ■ Crusader Squad ■ Sword Brethren ■ Sternguard Veteran Squad

You can attach this model to one of the above units even if one Captain or Chapter Master model has already been attached to it. If you do, and that Bodyguard unit is destroyed, the Leader units attached to it become separate units, with their original Starting Strengths.

While this model is leading a unit, each time that unit is selected to fight, take a Leadership test for that unit: if passed, until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, you can re-roll the Hit roll; if failed, until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, re-roll a Hit roll of 1

Each time a model in this model's unit makes a melee attack that destroys one or more enemy units, roll one D6: on a 4+, you gain 1 CP

If your Army Faction is Adeptus Astartes, at the start of the first battle round, select one of the following Vows to be active for Adeptus Astartes units from your army. While a Vow is active for your army, that unit has the associated ability below. 

Abhor the Witch, Destroy the Witch ■ Each time this unit declares a charge, if one or more targets of that charge have the Psyker keyword, you can re-roll the Charge roll. Melee weapons equipped by models in this unit have the [PRECISION] ability while targeting Psyker units. 

Accept Any Challenge, No Matter the Odds ■ Each time a model in this unit makes a melee attack, if the Strength characteristic of that attack is less than or equal to the Toughness characteristic of the target, add 1 to the wound roll

Suffer Not the Unclean to Live ■ This unit is eligible to declare a charge in a turn in which it Fell Back, and each time a model in this unit makes a Pile-in or Consolidation move, it does not need to end that move closer to the closest enemy model, provided it ends that move as close as possible to the nearest enemy unit. 

Uphold the Honour of the Emperor If this unit has the Infantry keyword: ■ At the end of your Command phase, if this unit is within range of an objective marker you control, that objective marker remains under your control until your opponent's level of control over that objective marker is greater than yours at the end of the phase.  ■ If the mission you are playing features Actions, this unit is eligible to start to perform an Action in a turn in which it Advanced.

This ability always takes the form [SUSTAINED HITS X]. Each time an attack made with a [SUSTAINED HITS] weapon results in a critical hit, that attack results in a number of additional hits on the target as denoted by X. Example: An attack made with a *[SUSTAINED HITS 2] weapon results in a critical hit. That attack therefore hits the target three times (once from the critical hit, and twice more from the [SUSTAINED HITS 2] ability).

Each time an attack made with a [LETHAL HITS] weapon results in a critical hit, you can choose for that attack to automatically wound the target.  Designer’s Note:* Choosing to automatically wound the target means that no wound roll is made for that attack. You may decide against this, as it means that attack cannot result in a critical wound* and so cannot trigger other abilities such as [DEVASTATING WOUNDS].
