XIII: Ultramarines

This Advanced Reaction is available only to units composed entirely of models with the Legiones Astartes (Ultramarines) special rule. Unlike Core Reactions, Advanced Reactions are activated in unique and specific circumstances, as noted in their descriptions, and can often have game changing effects. Advanced Reactions use up points of a Reactive player’s Reaction Allotment as normal and obey all other restrictions placed upon Reactions, unless it is specifically noted otherwise in their description.

Unity of Purpose – This Advanced Reaction may be made once per battle during the opposing player’s Shooting phase when any enemy player declares a Shooting Attack targeting a friendly unit under the Reactive player’s control composed entirely of models with the Legiones Astartes (Ultramarines) special rule. Once the Active player has resolved all To Hit rolls, To Wound rolls, and Armour Saves are made, but before any Damage Mitigation rolls are made or casualties removed, the Reactive player may choose to expend one of their Reactions for that Phase to have both the unit targeted by the Shooting Attack and one other unit composed entirely of models with the Legiones Astartes (Ultramarines) special rule make a Shooting Attack, targeting the unit that triggered this Reaction and following all the usual rules for Shooting Attacks. Any unit that makes a Shooting Attack as part of a Unity of Purpose Reaction may not make any attacks indirectly (without line of sight) including Barrage weapons or other weapons or special rules that otherwise ignore line of sight, and models with the Vehicle Unit Type may only fire Defensive weapons. Template weapons may only be used as part of a Unity of Purpose Reaction if the target unit is within 8" and must use the Wall of Death special rule instead of firing normally. Both units that make Shooting Attacks as part of this Reaction are considered to have made a Reaction this Phase and as such may not make any further Reactions.
