Fulgrim

If chosen as the army's Warlord, Fulgrim automatically has the Sire of the Emperor’s Children Warlord Trait and may not select any other Warlord Trait:

Sire of the Emperor’s Children - All friendly models with the Legiones Astartes (Emperor’s Children) that can draw a line of sight to Fulgrim may use Fulgrim’s Leadership Characteristic for all Morale and Pinning checks they are required to take and all friendly units with the Legiones Astartes (Emperor’s Children) special rule on the battlefield while Fulgrim is also on the battlefield gain +1 to the Wound value used to calculate if the unit has won a close combat. In addition, the first Reaction made in each Game Turn by Fulgrim and any unit he has joined does not use up a point of the controlling player’s Reaction Allotment.

The Gilded Panoply provides Fulgrim with a 2+ Armour Save, a 3+ Invulnerable Save against Melee Attacks and a 4+ Invulnerable Save against all other Wounds inflicted upon him.

When Fulgrim makes Melee Attacks as part of a Challenge, he gains a number of additional attacks equal to the amount which his Initiative Characteristic is greater than that of his opponent. For example, if Fulgrim attacks an enemy model with an Initiative Characteristic of 5 as part of a Challenge, Fulgrim’s Initiative of 8 grants him 3 extra Attacks

Once per battle, at the start of any Phase, Fulgrim's controlling player may declare the use of this special rule. For the duration of that Phase any enemy units that attempt to declare a Reaction against a Move, Shooting Attack or Charge made by Fulgrim or a unit that he has joined, must first pass a Leadership test (using the highest Leadership Characteristic in the unit attempting to make a Reaction), unless the unit that is making the Reaction includes at least one model with the Primarch Unit Type, in which case the unit may declare Reactions as normal.

Flawless Execution: On a Turn in which they make a successful Charge, even if that Charge is considered a Disordered Charge, models with the Legiones astartes (Emperor's children) special rule make their attacks in an assult at on initiative step higher than normal - after any initiative modifiers from other special rules have been taken into account. Models with the Legiones Astartes (Emperor's Children) special rule and Vehicle unit type gain a bonus of +1 to all To Hit rolls made for Defensive Weapons when making a Shooting Attack as part of a reaction.

The Master of the Legion special rule grants the following benefits:
• Rites of War: If a Detachment with the Legiones Astartes Faction includes at least one model with the Master of the Legion special rule then that Detachment may select a single Rite of War. Rites of War are presented in the Appendix: Legiones Astartes Rites of War, found on page 96.
• The Few and the Proud: An army may only include a maximum of one model with this special rule per 1,000 points. This counts across all Detachments of an army. Thus, an army that totals at least 1,000 points may include only a single model with the Master of the Legion special rule, and an army that includes at least 2,000 points may include up to two models with the Master of the Legion special rule, etc.
• Retinue: A model with this special rule may also include a Legion Command Squad, Legion Cataphractii Command Squad or Legion Tartaros Command Squad as part of the same Force Organisation slot as the model with the Master of the Legion special rule. The full rules for doing so can be found in the Appendix: Legiones Astartes Special Rules on page 124.

Bulky models count as a number of models equal to the value X in brackets after the rule’s name for the purposes of Transport Capacity and whether a given unit outnumbers another in combat.

For example, a unit comprised of five models all of which have the Bulky (3) special rule, would count as 15 models when attempting to Embark on a Transport Vehicle or when deciding if they outnumber an enemy unit.

In a turn in which a model with this special rule Charges into combat, it adds a bonus to its Initiative Characteristic until the end of the Assault phase. The bonus added to the model’s Initiative is equal to the value in brackets after the special rule; for example, a model with Sudden Strike (2) adds a bonus of +2 to its Initiative.
A model that has made a Disordered Charge that turn receives no benefit from Sudden Strike (X).

A unit that contains at least one model with this special rule rolls an extra dice when making Sweeping Advances and discards the lowest scoring dice before determining the result.

A model with this special rule may only be included in an army that has the Traitor Allegiance.
