To use a Stratagem you must pay the CPs specified. The same Stratagem cannot be used more than once during the same phase. Stratagems not used during a battle round are exempted from the limit.

Command Re-Roll: 1 CP

Use this Stratagem after you made a hit roll, a wound roll, a damage roll, a saving throw, an Advance roll, a charge roll, a Psychic test, a Deny the Witch test or you have rolled the dice to determine the number of attacks made by a weapon. Re-roll that roll, test or saving throw.

Cut them Down: 1 CP

Use this Stratagem when an enemy unit Falls Back, before any models in that unit are moved. Roll one D6 for each model from your army that is within Engagement Range of that enemy unit; for each result of 6 that enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound.

Desperate Breakout: 2 CP

Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase. Select one unit from your army that has not been selected to move this phase and which is in Engagement Range with at least one enemy unit. Roll one D6 for each model in that unit; for each result of 1, one model in that unit your choice is destroyed. Assuming that unit was no destroyed, it can now attempt to Fall Back, and when doing so its models can be moved across enemy models as if they were not there. Any models in that unit ends its Fall Back move within Engagement Range of any enemy model is destroyed. Assuming the unit is not destroyed, it cannot do anything else his turn, even if it has a rule that would allow it to do so after Falling Back.

Emergency Disembarkation: 1 CP

Use this Stratagem when a TRANSPORT model from your army is destroyed. All units that are embarked within that model can be set up wholly within 6? of the destroyed model when they disembark instead of the normal 3? before the model itself is removed from the battlefield. These units are not affected by the destroyed model’s Explodes ability – instead you must roll one D6 for each model you just set up on the battlefield. Instead of one model that disembarked being destroyed for each roll of 1, one model that disembarked (your choice) is destroyed for each roll of 1 or 2. Units cannot declare a charge or perform Heroic Intervention in the same turn that they disembarked from a destroyed Transport model.

Fire Overwatch: 1 CP

Use this Stratagem after an enemy unit has declared a charge against one or more units from your army. One of the units that was chose as the target of that charge can fire Overwatch before the charge roll is made.

Counter-Offensive: 2 CP

Use this Stratagem after an enemy unit has fought in this turn. Select one of your own eligible units and fight with it next.

Insane Bravery: 1 CP

Use this Stratagem before you take a Morale test for a unit in your army. That test is automatically passed (do not roll any dice). You can only use this Stratagem once per battle.

If your army includes any IMPERIAL KNIGHTS Detachments, you have access to these Stratagems, and can spend CPs to use them. When one of these Stratagems instructs you to select a unit from your army, replace all instances of <NOBLE HOUSEHOLD> on that Stratagem (if any) with the name of the noble household that your selected unit is drawn from (if the selected unit is a FREEBLADE, replace all instances of <NOBLE HOUSEHOLD> on that Stratagem (if any) with FREEBLADE instead).

Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase, when an IMPERIAL KNIGHTS VEHICLE model from your army Advances. Do not make an Advance roll. Instead, until the end of the phase, add 6″ to the Move characteristic of this model (if this model is an ARMIGER-CLASS model, add 9″ instead).

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase when an IMPERIAL KNIGHTS TITANIC model from your army is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, each time that model makes a melee attack with its titanic feet:

• Subtract 1 from that attack’s hit roll.
• If that attack successfully hits the target, unless the target of that attack is a VEHICLE, MONSTER or a CHARACTER unit, the target suffers 2 mortal wounds and the attack sequence ends.

Use the Stratagem in your Fight phase, when a QUESTOR IMPERIALIS VEHICLE model from your army makes a consolidation move. Until the end of the phase, when making that consolidation move, that model:

• Can move up to 6″ instead of up to 3″ (this is cumulative with the Vow of Honour Questor Allegiance Oath, meaning that such a model would move up to 7″ when it consolidates this phase).
• Can move in any direction, provided it ends that consolidation move either within Engagement Range of an enemy model, or it ends that move at least 3″ closer to your opponent’s battlefield edge.

Use this Stratagem at the start of the Fight phase. Select one enemy unit that is within Engagement Range of 2 or more ARMIGER-CLASS models from your army. Until the end of the phase, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of each ARMIGER-CLASS model from your army that started the phase in Engagement Range with that enemy unit.

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when an IMPERIAL KNIGHTS model from your army is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, each time that model makes an attack against a CHAOS model, re-roll a wound roll of 1.

Use this Stratagem at the start of the Shooting phase. Select up to 3 ARMIGER-CLASS models from your army. Until the end of the phase, each time a selected model makes a ranged attack, an unmodified hit roll of 6 automatically wounds the target.

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase when an IMPERIAL KNIGHTS model from your army destroys an enemy TITANIC unit with a melee attack.

• Until the end of the battle, add 1 to this model’s Attacks characteristic.
• If every unit from your army has the IMPERIAL KNIGHTS keyword (excluding units with the AGENT OF THE IMPERIUM or UNALIGNED keywords), you gain 1 Honour point.
• Until the end of the battle, when you are determining which Chivalric abilities are active for IMPERIAL KNIGHTS models in your army, this model always counts as if your army was Virtuous. This may mean that different Chivalric abilities are active for different models in your army

Use this Stratagem in any phase, when a QUESTOR MECHANICUS model from your army would lose a wound as the result of a mortal wound. Until the end of the phase, each time that model would lose a wound as the result of a mortal wound, roll one D6: on a 5+, that wound is not lost.

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase when an attack made with Freedom’s Hand or a thunderstrike gauntlet (or a Relic that replaces such a weapon) by an IMPERIAL KNIGHTS model from your army is allocated to an enemy model. Before any saving throw is taken against that attack, both players roll off (if the Strength characteristic of this IMPERIAL KNIGHTS is greater than that of the model the attack has been allocated to, add 1 to your result). If you win the roll off, invulnerable saving throws cannot be taken against that attack; otherwise the Damage characteristic of that attack is 0.

Use this Stratagem in your Command phase. Select one QUESTOR MECHANICUS model from your army. Until the start of your next Command phase, that model is considered to have its full wounds remaining for the purposes of determining what characteristics on its profile to use. If that model is an ARMIGER-CLASS model, this Stratagem costs 1CP; otherwise, it costs 2CP.

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when a QUESTOR IMPERIALIS model from your army that has not already been selected to fight this phase is destroyed (but did not explode). Do not remove that model from play – it can fight after the attacking model’s unit has finished making attacks. When resolving these attacks, assume the model has 1 wound remaining when determining which characteristics to use. After resolving the destroyed model’s attacks, it is then removed. If that model is an ARMIGER-CLASS model, this Stratagem costs 1CP; otherwise, it costs 2CP.

Use this Stratagem when an IMPERIAL KNIGHTS VEHICLE model from your army is destroyed. Do not roll to see if that model explodes: it does so automatically (if that model is a DOMINUS-CLASS model, roll one D6: on a 4+, the range of the explosion is 3D6″). If that model is an ARMIGER-CLASS model, this Stratagem costs 1CP; if that model is a QUESTORIS-CLASS model, this Stratagem costs 2CP; otherwise, it costs 3CP. You can only use this Stratagem once.

Use this Stratagem at the start of any of your phases other than your Command phase. Select one MENTOR unit from your army that has not recounted a teaching this turn. That model can recount one teaching that has not already been recounted by a friendly model this turn. That teaching is automatically inspiring (do not roll) and takes effect until the start of your next Command phase.

Use this Stratagem in any phase, when an ARMIGER-CLASS model from your army is selected as the target of an attack. Until the end of the phase, each time an attack is made against that model, an unmodified wound roll of 1-3 for that attack fails, irrespective of any abilities that the weapon or the model making the attack may have.

Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army, if your WARLORD has the IMPERIAL KNIGHTS keyword. Select one IMPERIAL KNIGHTS model from your army. That model can have one Heirloom Relic, even if they are not a CHARACTER model (this must be a Relic they could have). Each Relic in your army must be unique, and you cannot use this Stratagem to give a model two Relics. You can only use this Stratagem once, unless you are playing a Strike Force battle (in which case, you can use this Stratagem twice) or an Onslaught battle (in which case, you can use this Stratagem three times).

Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army, if your WARLORD has the IMPERIAL KNIGHTS keyword. Select one IMPERIAL KNIGHTS model from your army (excluding named characters). That model gains the CHARACTER keyword and you must determine one Warlord Trait for it (this must be a Warlord Trait it can have); that model is only regarded as your Warlord for the purposes of that Warlord Trait. Each Warlord Trait in your army must be unique (if randomly generated, re-roll duplicate results), and you cannot use this Stratagem to give a model two Warlord Traits. You can only use this Stratagem once, unless you are playing a Strike Force battle (in which case, you can use this Stratagem twice) or an Onslaught battle (in which case, you can use this Stratagem three times).

Use this Stratagem after nominating an IMPERIAL KNIGHTS CHARACTER model to be your WARLORD. You can generate one additional Warlord Trait for them. Each Warlord Trait in your army must be unique (if randomly generated, re-roll duplicate results). You can only use this Stratagem once and you cannot use this Stratagem if your WARLORD is a named character.

Use this Stratagem in your Charge phase, when an IMPERIAL KNIGHTS VEHICLE model from your army finishes a charge move. Select one enemy unit within Engagement Range of your model and roll four D6s (if this model is TITANIC, roll six D6s instead). For each dice result that equals or exceeds that enemy unit’s Toughness characteristic, it suffers 1 mortal wound; for each unmodified roll of a 6, that enemy unit instead suffers 2 mortal wounds. If this model is an ARMIGER-CLASS model, this Stratagem costs 1CP; otherwise, it costs 2CP.

Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase when an ARMIGER CLASS model from your army Falls Back. That model is still eligible to shoot and charge this turn even though it Fell Back.

Use this Stratagem at the start of your Movement phase. Select up to two ARMIGER-CLASS models from your army that are more than 6″ from any enemy models and within 6″ of any battlefield edge. If the mission you are playing is using the Strategic Reserves rule, place that unit into Strategic Reserves – that model cannot arrive from Strategic Reserves in the same turn it is placed into Strategic Reserves.

Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase, when you select one QUESTOR IMPERIALIS TITANIC model from your army to make a Normal Move or Advance. After this model has moved, select one enemy unit it moved across (excluding AIRCRAFT units) and roll one D6. Add 1 to the result if that enemy unit contains between 6-10 models, and add 2 to the result if that enemy unit contains 11 or more models: on a 3-6, that enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds; on a 7+, that unit suffers D6 mortal wounds

• At the end of the phase, that ARMIGER-CLASS model can shoot as if it were your Shooting phase, but it can only target that enemy unit (and only if that enemy unit is an eligible target for that attack).
• Until the end of the battle, each time that ARMIGER-CLASS model makes an attack that targets that enemy unit, you can re-roll the hit roll.

Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when an IMPERIAL KNIGHTS model from your army is selected to shoot. Until the end of the phase:

Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase when an IMPERIAL KNIGHTS model from your army that is equipped with a reaper chainsword or reaper chain-cleaver (or a Relic that replaces such a weapon) is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, each time that model makes an attack, you can never re-roll that attacks hit roll, but if that attack is made using the Sweep profile of a reaper chainsword or reaper chain-cleaver (or a Relic that replaces such a weapon), make 1 additional hit roll.

Use this Stratagem in your opponent’s Shooting phase, when an IMPERIAL KNIGHTS VEHICLE model from your army is selected as the target of a ranged attack. Until the end of the phase, that model has a 4+ invulnerable save against ranged attacks. If that model is an ARMIGER-CLASS model, this Stratagem costs 1CP; otherwise, it costs 2CR

Use this Stratagem in your opponent’s Command phase. Select one DOMINUS-CLASS model from your army. Until the end of the turn, that model has the following ability:

Use this Stratagem at the end of the Fight phase. Select one IMPERIAL KNIGHTS model from your army equipped with Freedom’s Hand or a thunderstrike gauntlet (or a Relic that replaces such a weapon). If a VEHICLE or MONSTER model was destroyed within Engagement Range of the selected IMPERIAL KNIGHTS model during that phase, you can now select one enemy unit within 9″ of and visible to that IMPERIAL KNIGHTS model that is not within engagement range of any friendly units. Roll one D6, subtracting 1 from the result if the enemy unit you selected is a CHARACTER with a Wounds characteristic of 9 or less: on a 3-5, that enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds; on a 6, that enemy unit suffers 3 mortal wounds.

If you do, then on a 4+, set that model back up on the battlefield as close as possible to the marker you placed and within 6″ of that marker, and not within Engagement Range of any enemy models, with 3 wounds remaining. If it is not possible to set up the model, it is destroyed. This Stratagem can only be used once per battle.
