Rules (3)
Honour Above All 
When any Model that has joined a Unit that includes any Models with this Special Rule takes part in a Challenge, all Models in that Unit with this Special Rule gain a bonus of +1 to all Wound Tests made during the following Fight Sub-Phase of that Assault Phase.
Brutal Tradition 
"Models subject to this benefit gain a bonus to Hit Tests while outnumbered."


If the Sons of Horus Legion was selected for this Army’s Shattered Legions Trait, when making a Hit Test for a Model from that Army subject to the Mutable Tactics Special Rule, add a modifier of +1 to the result if its Controlling Player controls the fewest Models in that Combat. Models with the Bulky (X) Special Rule count as a number of Models equal to the value of X in the variant of the Bulky (X) Special Rule that Model has.
Legion Specialists 
If Models in this Unit would benefit from the Mutable Tactics Legion Tactica, they may only benefit from the bonus related to their Legion whose Trait was replaced as part of this Prime Advantage.

Reaction
Shieldwall!
Summary:

This Reaction allows the Reactive Player to gain a bonus to the Toughness Characteristic of Models in a Unit targeted by a Shooting Attack or Volley Attack if the majority of those Models have the Shield Trait.

Trigger:

The Reactive Player may declare a Shieldwall! 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, or at the start of Step 4 of a Charge declared by the Active Player.

Cost:

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

Target:

For a Shieldwall! Reaction, the Reacting Unit is always the Unit that was the target of the Shooting Attack or Charge that triggered the Reaction. This Unit must include a majority of Models with the ‘Shield’ Trait at the point when the 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 Advanced Reaction is declared have their Toughness Characteristic modified by +1 for the duration of the Phase in which this Reaction was declared
