Rules (4)
Implacable
A Detachment which contains one or more models with the Implacable special rule does not take Morale checks when they lose a Combat. Instead, the controlling player may choose if the Detachment Withdraws or not. An Engaged Implacable Detachment that does not Withdraw remains Engaged; if no models in the Detachment are in base to base contact with an enemy model, the Detachment does not move and is no longer Engaged.
Nimble
Models with the Nimble special rule suffer no penalties in their Movement when moving through areas of Difficult terrain.
Outflank
Instead of being deployed on the battlefield as normal, if all models in a Detachment have the Outflank special rule, the Detachment may be placed in Reserve. While in Reserve, Detachments with the Outflank special rule can only be issued the Advance Order or March Order.

When a Detachment with the Outflank special rule that is in Reserve is activated in any Movement phase other than the first, the controlling player may choose to leave it in Reserve or Flank the enemy. When a Detachment Flanks the enemy, the controlling player places the models in that Detachment in base contact with any battlefield edge, although no model can be deployed within 8" of the enemy's battlefield edge. Once deployed in this way, the Detachment may complete its activation as normal (i.e., it may move during the Movement phase and/or fire during the Combat phase, etc.).
Phosphex
Models Engaged with an enemy Detachment with the Phosphex special rule gain no positive modifiers to the CAF characteristic for being Garrison within a Structure.

Profiles:

Special Rules
Formations of the Hexagrammaton:

At the start of the battle, before any Detachment is deployed, determine which Dark Angels Formations contain a total of three or more different Detachment types - Dedicated Transports are ignored for the purposes of this calculation.

Any Formation that meets these requirements gains one of the following benefits, chosen by the controlling player from the list below:

  • All Detachments within the Formation that contain only Dark Angels Infantry models gain the Phosphex and Implacable special rules.
  • All Detachments within the Formation that contain only Cavalry models gain the Outflank special rule.
  • All Detachments within the Formation that contain only Vehicle models gain the Nimble special rule.

If a Formation has a Dedicated Transport, the model types gain the relevant special rules but the Transports do not.
