Chaplain Cassius [Legends]

While this model is leading a unit, melee weapons equipped by models in that unit have the [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] ability.

While this model is leading a unit, each time a model in that unit is destroyed by a melee attack, if that model has not fought this phase, roll one D6. On a 4+, do not remove it from play; that destroyed model can fight after the attacking model’s unit has finished making its attacks, and is then removed from play.

This model can be attached to the following units:

■ Assault Squad ■ Command Squad ■ Sternguard Veteran Squad ■ Tactical Squad ■ Tyrannic War Veterans ■ Vanguard Veteran Squad

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.

4+

This ability always takes the form [ANTI-X Y+]. Each time an attack is made with an [ANTI] weapon, if the target unit has the keyword denoted by X, an unmodified wound roll of Y+ is a critical wound. Example:* An attack made with an [ANTI-VEHICLE 4+] weapon against a Vehicle unit will result in a critical wound on an unmodified wound roll of 4+, while an attack made with an [ANTI-PSYKER 2+] weapon against a Psyker unit will result in a critical wound on an unmodified wound roll* of 2+.

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.

Each time an attack is made with an [IGNORES COVER] weapon, the target cannot have the benefit of cover against that attack (13.08), including from rules that give a model or unit the benefit of cover (e.g. Stealth).

Each time an attack is made with a [TORRENT] weapon, that attack automatically hits the target.
