Rules (4)
Move Through Cover
"The Move Through Cover Special Rule allows the penalties of terrain to be ignored."
A Unit that includes at least one Model with the Move Through Cover Special Rule ignores the effects of Difficult Terrain and Dangerous Terrain. If called upon to take a Dangerous Terrain Test then such a Unit is assumed to automatically pass without any Dice being rolled.
Support Unit (X)
"A Unit that contains Models with this Special Rule scores fewer Victory Points for Controlling Objective Markers."
A Unit that includes any Models with the Support Unit (X) Special Rule may only ever score a maximum number of Victory Points equal to the value of X for Controlling an Objective, regardless of the Value of that Objective, or any other Special Rules Models in that Unit might have (such as the Line (X) Special Rule).
Infiltrate (X)
"Models with the Infiltrate (X) Special Rule can deploy outside of their Deployment Zone." 
At the start of a Mission, when deploying Units, the Controlling Player of a Unit that is composed entirely of Models with the Infiltrate (X) Special Rule may choose to deploy that Unit outside of that Player’s Deployment Zone. That Unit may be deployed anywhere that is either in the Controlling Player’s Deployment Zone or outside of the Opposing Player’s Deployment Zone and is at least a number of inches equal to the highest value of X attached to any variant of the Infiltrate (X) Special Rule in that Unit away from any Enemy Model.

Units deployed using the Infiltrate (X) Special Rule are deployed at the same time as other Units under a Player’s control, unless the specific Rules of a given Mission state otherwise. The Infiltrate (X) Special Rule only has an effect when deploying Units before the start of the First Turn of a Battle, and Units deploying on the Battlefield after the First Turn has begun gain no benefit from this Special Rule. A Unit that is deployed outside of the Controlling Player’s Deployment Zone by means of this Special Rule may not have a Charge declared for in the Firs Battle Turn.
Doomed Heroics (X)
Whenever at least one Unit that includes a majority of Models with this Special Rule is on the winning side of a Combat where one or more of the following was true at the start of the Fight Sub-Phase, then the Controlling Player scores a number of Victory Points equal to the value of X (where there are multiple variants of this Special Rule in a Combat, use only the single highest value of X):


 • The total number of Models on the enemy side is more than twice the number of Models on the Blackshields side.
 • The enemy side includes more Models with the Command Trait or any Models with the Paragon Type.
 • The enemy side includes a majority of Models with a higher Weapon Skill Characteristic than the majority of Models on the Blackshields side.


This Oath of Moment may not be selected if the Detachment already has the Reapers of Lives or Spoils of Victory Oaths of Moment.

Reaction
Smokescreen
Summary:

This Reaction allows the Reactive Player to gain Shrouded Damage Mitigation Rolls for a Model with the Smokescreen Trait.

Trigger:

The Reactive Player may declare a Smokescreen Advanced Reaction in the Shooting Phase, at the start of Step 3 of the Shooting Attack sequence of any Shooting Attack made by the Active Player.

Cost:

The Reactive Player must spend 1 point of their Reaction Allotment to declare a Smokescreen Advanced Reaction, this cost paid as soon as the declaration is made.

Target:

For a Smokescreen Advanced Reaction, the Reacting Unit is always the Unit that was the target of the Shooting Attack that triggered the Advanced Reaction. This Unit must include a majority of Models with the Smokescreen Trait at the point where the Advanced Reaction is declared.

Process:
  1. The Active Player continues to resolve this Shooting Attack as normal.
  2. All Models in the Unit for which this Reaction was declared gain a 5+ Shrouded Damage Mitigation Test against any wounds, Penetrating Hits or Glancing Hits inflicted during any Shooting Attack made in the same Phase in which this Reaction was declared.
