Blood Angels Special Rules
An ADEPTUS ASTARTES Detachment is one that only includes models with the ADEPTUS ASTARTES keyword. ADEPTUS ASTARTES Detachments gain the Company Command ability. ADEPTUS ASTARTES units the ADEPTUS ASTARTES Detachments gain the Chapter Tactics ability. Troops units in ADEPTUS ASTARTES Detachments gain the Objective Secured ability.
Chapter Tactics: All ADEPTUS ASTARTES units with this ability, and all the models in them, gain a Chapter Tactic so long as every unit in their Detachment is from the same Chapter. The tactic gained depends upon which Chapter they are from. If your Chapter does not have an associated Chapter Tactic, you must instead select Successor Tactics for them.
Angels of Death: This unit has the following abilities: And They Shall No Fear, Bolter Discipline, Shock Assault, and Combat Doctrines.
And They Shall Know No Fear: Each time a Combat Attrition test is taken for this unit, ignore any or all modifiers.
Bolter Discipline: Instead of following the normal rules for Rapid Fire weapons, models in this unit firing Rapid Fire bolt weapons make double the number of attacks if any of the following apply: The firing model’s target is within half the weapon’s maximum range. The firing model is INFANTRY (excluding Centurion models) and every model in its unit remained stationary in your previous Movement phase. The firing model is a TERMINATOR or BIKER. For the purposes of this ability, a Rapid Fire bolt weapon is any bolt weapon with the Rapid Fire type. A bolt weapon is any weapon whose profile includes the word ‘bolt’ (boltgun, bolt rifle, storm bolter, combi-bolter, hurricane bolter, etc.). Rules that apply to bolt weapons also apply to the boltgun profile of combi-weapons and and Relics that replace bolt weapons.
Shock Assault: If this makes a charge move, is charged or performs a Heroic Intervention, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of models in this unit until the end of the turn.
Combat Doctrines: If your army is Battle-forged and if every unit from your army has this ability (excluding Servitor and Unaligned units), this unit gains a bonus (see below) depending on which combat doctrine is active for your army, as follows: During the first battle round, the Devastator Doctrine is active for your army. During the second battle round, the Tactical Doctrine is active for your army. At the start of the third battle round, select either the Tactical Doctrine or Assault Doctrine: until the end of that battle round, the doctrine you selected is active for your army. During the fourth and subsequent battle rounds, the Assault Doctrine is active for your army. Unless specified otherwise, this bonus is not cumulative with any other rules that improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of a weapon (e.g. the Storm of Fire Warlord Trait).’
Devastator Doctrine: The Armour Penetration characteristic of Heavy and Grenade weapons this model is equipped with is improved by 1 whilst this combat doctrine is active.
Tactical Doctrine: The Armour Penetration characteristic of Rapid Fire and Assault weapons this model is equipped with is improved by 1 whilst this combat doctrine is active.
Assault Doctrine: The Armour Penetration characteristic of Pistol and Melee weapons this model is equipped with is improved by 1 whilst this combat doctrine is active.
Savage Echoes: Whilst the Assault Doctrine is active, if a unit with this ability makes a charge move, is charged or performs a Heroic Intervention, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of models in that unit until the end of the turn (note that this is cumulative with the bonus these models receive from the Shock Assault ability).
The Red Thirst: When resolving an attack made with a melee weapon by a model with this ability in a turn in which that model’s unit made a charge move, was charged or performed a Heroic Intervention, add 1 to the wound roll. When a unit with this ability Advances or makes a charge move, add 1 to the Advance roll or charge roll.
Fury Within (Flesh Tearers): When resolving an attack made with a melee weapon by a model with this ability in a turn in which that model’s unit made a charge move, was charged or performed a Heroic Intervention, add 1 to the wound roll. In addition, when resolving an attack made with a melee weapon by a model in this unit, on an unmodified wound roll of 6 improve that weapon’s Armour Penetration characteristic by 1 for that attack (e.g. AP 0 becomes AP -1).
Abilities
A unit’s datasheet will list all the abilities it has. Certain abilities that are common to many units are only referenced on datasheets rather described in full. Some of these referenced abilities are common to all Adeptus Astartes units, and are therefore described in codex Space Marines. Others are specific to Blood Angels units and are described below.
The Lost:
If your army is Battle-forged, then when mustering your army, you can upgrade up to one Captain and up to two Lieutenant units in Blood Angels Detachments in your to be inducted into the Death Company. Each time you do so that gains the Death Company keyword. The following apply to models in units inducted into the Death Company.
- A model included into the Death Company gains the Black Rage and Death visions abilities.
- A model inducted into the Death Company cannot be your Warlord and cannot be given any Chapter Command upgrades.
- A Captain model inducted into the Death Company has its Rites of Battle ability replaced to Rites of Rage and works only on Death Company Core units.
- A Lieutenant model inducted into the Death Company must replaced its Tactical Precision abilities with Tactical Aggression and works only on Death Company Core units.
- Death Company Character units are excluded from the Company Command rule.
Black Rage:
- In your Movement phase, each time this unit is selected to move, it cannot Fall Back.
- Each time this unit fights, if it made a charge move or performed a Heroic Intervention this turn, then until that fight is resolved, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of models in this unit.
- Each time a model in this unit would lose a wound, roll one D6: on a 6 that wound is not lost.
- This unit cannot perform any Actions, as described in the Warhammer 40,000 Core book
Death Visions:
Once per battle, when this model is selected to fight, it can use one of the Death Visions listed below. The same Death Vision cannot be used more than once per battle.
On Bridge of the Vengeful Spirit: A model can only use this Death Vision if any enemy Infantry Character or Monster Character models are visible to it. If a model uses this Death Vision, then until that fight is resolved. Add 1 to that model’s Attacks characteristic for every 5 enemy models that are within 6″ of it. Each time that model makes an attack you can re-roll the hit roll.
The Grace of the Angel: A model can only use this Death Vision if any enemy infantry Character or Monster Character models are within Engagement Range of it. If a model uses this Death Vision, then until the end of that turn, this model has 3+ invulnerable save.
To Slay the Warmaster: A model can ony use this Death Vision if any enemy Infantry Character or Monster Character models are within Engagement Range of it. If a model uses this Death vision, then instead of making attacks for that fight both players roll off. If you win, select one of those enemy models: that model suffers D3+3 mortal wounds.
Secondary Objectives
If every model in your army has the Blood Angels keyword, and your Warlord has the Blood Angels keyword you can select secondary objectives or select one of them to be from the Blood Angels secondary objectives. Like all other secondary objectives, each of the secondary objectives listed below has a category, and they follow all the normal rules for secondary objectives.
Purge the Enemy
Secondary Objective – Blade of Sanguinius:
At the start of your first Command phase, you must select one Blood Angels Character model from your army to issue a challenge and your opponent must select one Character model from there army to accept the challenge. If either player does not have a Character model, they must instead select their Warlord. Score 5 victory points at the end of the battle for each of the following conditions that have been satisfied:
- The model that accepted the challenge was destroyed.
- The model that accepted the challenge was destroyed by a melee attack.
- The model that accepted the challenge was destroyed by a melee attack made by the model that issued the challenge.
Battlefield Supremacy
Secondary Objective – Relentless Assault:
Score 4 victory points at the end of your turn if there are more Blood Angels units from your army in the enemy deployment zone than there are enemy units in your deployment zone.
No Mercy, No Respite
Secondary Objective – Fury of the Lost:
Score 3 victory points at the end of your turn if one or more enemy units have been destroyed by a Death Company unit from your army this turn.
Secondary Objective – Death from Above:
Score 2 points at the end of your turn if any enemy units were destroyed by a Blood Angels unit from your army that was set up on the battlefield in the Reinforcements step of any of your Movement phases. If any of those enemy units were a Character unit, score 3 victory points instead.
