If your Army Faction is Adeptus Astartes, at the start of your Command phase, select one unit from your opponent’s army. Until the start of your next Command phase, that enemy unit is your Oath of Moment target. Each time a model with this ability makes an attack that targets your Oath of Moment target: ■ You can reroll the Hit roll ■ If you are using a Codex: Space Marines Detachment and your army does not include one or more units with the Blood Angels, Dark Angels, Deathwatch or Space Wolves keywords, add 1 to the Wound roll as well.
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.
Each time an attack made with a [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] weapon results in a critical wound, the attack sequence for that attack ends and the target unit suffers a number of mortal wounds equal to the D characteristic of that weapon. These are inflicted after resolving any normal damage inflicted by those attacks. Mortal wounds inflicted by [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] weapons can damage a maximum of one model for each critical wound; any remaining mortal wounds inflicted by that attack are lost. Example: An attack made with a [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] weapon with a D characteristic of 3 results in a critical wound against an Intercessor Squad, so inflicts 3 mortal wounds. The first 2 mortal wounds are sufficient to destroy 1 Intercessor model, so the remaining mortal wound* is lost.
[PISTOL] and [CLOSE-QUARTERS] are identical for all rules purposes.
Units containing one or more models with a [CLOSE-QUARTERS] weapon can shoot using close-quarters shooting (10.06). When using another shooting type, for each model in that unit (excluding MONSTER/VEHICLE models), you can only select one of the following to make attacks with: - One or more of its [CLOSE-QUARTERS] weapons. - One or more of its other ranged weapons.
