The Hexagrmmaton: All units composed entirely of models with the Legiones Astartes (Dark Angels) special rule must select one of the following Hexagrammaton Unit Sub-types* when chosen during the army selction process: Stormwing, Dreadwing, Deathwing, Ironwing, Firewing or Ravenwing. See the Hexagrmmaton rules that follow for details.
*Some models or units may be required to have a specific Unit Sub-type from this list, if so it will be listed on their profile and cannot be changed.

All units compopsed entirely of models iwith the Legiones Astartes (Dark Angels) special rules must select a Hexagrammaton Unit Sub-type (some modesl may be required to select a specific Unit Sub-type - this will be noted on their Army List Profile). All models in a unit must select the same Hexagrammaton Unit Sub-type (a model selected as a Dedicated Transport must select the same Unit Sub-type as the unit it is selected for). However a Legion Techmarine Covenant or Legion Apothecarion Detachment may be selected a different Haxagrammaton Unit Sub-type for each model in the unit - but when these models are assigned to other units, they must be assigned to a unit that includes at least one model with the same Hexagrammaton Unit Sub-type. Additionally, a unit selected as a Retinue may have a different Hexagrammaton Unit Sub-type than the model selected as its leader.

Models with the Independent Character special rules and a Hexagrammaton Unit Sub-type may join units that include models with a different Unit Sub-type.

Models in a unit only gain the benefits of a Hexagrammaton Unit Sub-type if that unit is made up entirely of models with the Legiones Astartes (Dark Angels) special rules, and at least one model with a Hexagrammaton Unit Sub-type. However, the models in a unit may only benefit from the rules of a single Hexagrammaton Unit Sub-type in any Game Turn, If, at the start of a player's turn, any unit under that player's control includes models with different Hexagrammaton Unit Sub-type then the controlling player must select one of those Hexagrammaton UInit Sub-types, whose benefits will be applied to the models in that unit until the start of the controlling player's next turn - any other Hexagrammaton Unit Sub-types will grant no benefit to that unit for the duration of the Game Turn.

While Embarked on any model, a unit gains no benefit from any Hexagrammaton Unit Sub-types that any model it includes may possess, but the model they are Embarked on may benefit from any Hexagrammaton Unit Sub-type that it itself Possesses.
