Stratagems

ARDENT AUTOMATA

Cost: 1CP Type: Strategic Ploy Stratagem Detachment: Rubricae Phalanx

The martial discipline once known amongst the Legion's fellowships has been pared back and twisted until it is another means of control, one which the Rubricae’s masters use to wrongfoot their foes with sudden changes of tactics. WHEN: Your Movement phase , just after a RUBRICAE unit from your army Falls Back . TARGET: That RUBRICAE unit. EFFECT: Until the end of the turn, your unit is eligible to shoot and declare a charge in a turn in which it Fell Back.

IMPLACABLE GUARDIANS

Cost: 2CP Type: Strategic Ploy Stratagem Detachment: Rubricae Phalanx

The Rubricae are superlative, enduring guardians who can absorb great storms of fire if it means shielding their masters. WHEN: Your opponent’s Shooting phase , just after an enemy unit has selected its targets. TARGET: One RUBRIC MARINES PSYKER unit from your army that was selected as the target of one or more of the attacking unit’s attacks. EFFECT: Until the end of the phase, each time an attack is allocated to a model in your unit (excluding PSYKER models), subtract 1 from the Damage characteristic of that attack.

INEXORABLE ADVANCE

Cost: 1CP Type: Strategic Ploy Stratagem Detachment: Rubricae Phalanx

The warriors of the Thousand Sons can be driven on relentlessly while laying down a hail of weapons fire. They know no fatigue nor weakness, unable to falter even if they wished to. WHEN: Your Movement phase . TARGET: One RUBRICAE unit from your army. EFFECT: Until the end of the turn, your unit can ignore any or all modifiers to its Move characteristic and to Advance rolls made for it, and ranged weapons equipped by models in your unit have the [ASSAULT] ability.

INFERNAL FUSILLADE

Cost: 2CP Type: Wargear Stratagem Detachment: Rubricae Phalanx

Arcane invocations imbue the Thousand Sons’ weapons with sorcerous power, rendering them still more lethal to the foe. WHEN: Your Shooting phase . TARGET: One THOUSAND SONS PSYKER unit from your army that has not been selected to shoot this phase. EFFECT: Until the end of the phase, all inferno bolt pistols, inferno boltguns, inferno combi-bolters and inferno combi-weapons equipped by models in your unit have the [PSYCHIC] ability and a Strength characteristic of 5.

REVENGE OF THE RUBRICAE

Cost: 1CP Type: Strategic Ploy Stratagem Detachment: Rubricae Phalanx

Magnus’ psychic scions are as vindictive as their Daemon Primarch. Many weave arcane curses and runes of spite into the eldritch armour of their guardians. Should they fall, their Rubricae unleash a vengeful doom upon the executioners. WHEN: Your opponent’s Shooting phase , just after a THOUSAND SONS PSYKER model from your army is destroyed. TARGET: One RUBRICAE unit from your army that was within 6" of that PSYKER model when it was destroyed. EFFECT: After the attacking unit has shot, your RUBRICAE unit can shoot as if it were your Shooting phase, but when resolving those attacks it can only target the enemy unit that just destroyed your PSYKER model (and only if it is an eligible target).
