ADEPTUS MECHANICUS

ARMY RULE
An Adeptus Mechanicus army marching to war is a sight
both terrifying and glorious, each holy warrior a disturbing
fusion of Human and machine. While the ruling Tech-
Priests and their fanatical followers raise modified voices
in praise of the Machine God, their Skitarii soldiery and
Servitor creations are controlled by doctrina imperatives
loaded by their masters to augment and adapt the
warriors’ abilities.

DOCTRINA IMPERATIVES
At the start of the battle round, you can select one of the
Doctrina Imperatives below. Until the end of the battle
round, that Doctrina Imperative is active for your army, and
all units from your army that have the Doctrina Imperatives
ability gain the relevant abilities shown below.

PROTECTOR IMPERATIVE
■R anged weapons equipped by models in this unit have
the [HEAVY] ability.
■ Each time a ranged attack targets this unit, if this unit
is within your deployment zone, worsen the Armour
Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.

CONQUEROR IMPERATIVE
■R anged weapons equipped by models in this unit have
the [ASSAULT] ability.
■ Each time a model in this unit makes a ranged attack,
if the target of that attack is within your opponent's
deployment zone, improve the Armour Penetration
characteristic of that attack by 1.

ADEPTUS MECHANICUS – RAD-COHORT
DETACHMENT RULE
If your Army Faction is Adeptus Mechanicus, you can use
this Rad-Cohort Detachment rule.

RAD-BOMBARDMENT
Whether as a result of natural phenomena, apocalyptic
internecine strife or calamitous accidents, many forge
worlds are heavily irradiated. When holy wars of requisition
are unleashed, the Tech-Priests think nothing of turning
this invisible curse upon their foes, bombarding the
battlefield with deadly radiation prior to an assault.

BATTLE ROUND 1
BOMBARDMENT
At the start of the first battle round, for each enemy unit
within your opponent's deployment zone, your opponent
must decide whether that unit will take cover or stand firm.
If a unit takes cover, until the end of the battle round, that
unit is Battle-shocked. If a unit stands firm, roll one D6 for
that unit: on a 3+, that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.

BATTLE ROUND 2 ONWARDS

FALLOUT
At the start of the second, third, fourth and fifth battle
rounds, roll one D6 for each enemy unit within your
opponent's deployment zone. On a 3+, that unit suffers 1
mortal wound.
