Legiones Astartes (Raven Guard)
Shadow and Fury: Models with the Legiones Astartes (Raven Guard) special rule gain one of the following special rules based on the Unit Type and Wargear. either Talons, Falcons or HAwks (See the Shadow and Fury Rules).

Modelswith the Legiones Astartes (Raven Guard) special rule gain one of the following special rules based on the Unit Type and Wargear of the model. Models that do not fulfil one of the listed criteria gain no additional benefits:
• Models with the Legiones Astartes (Raven Guard) special rule that have the Infantry Unit Type, but do not also have the Heavy Unit Sub-type or a Legion Warhawk jump pack, Corvid pattern jump pack or Legion Tartaros Terminator armour, gain the Talons special rule.
• Models with the Legiones Astartes (Raven Guard) special rule that have the Dreadnought Unit Type; any models with the Legiones Astartes (Raven Guard) special rule and both the Infantry Unit Type and the Heavy Unit Subtype; or any models with the Legiones Astartes (Raven Guard) special rule that have a Legion Warhawk jump pack, Corvid pattern jump pack or Legion Tartaros Terminator armour gain the Falcons special rule.
• Models with the Legiones Astartes (Raven Guard) special rule and the Cavalry Unit Type or both the Vehicle Unit Type and Flyer or Fast Unit Sub-types, gain the Hawks special rule.

Talons – If a unit composed entirely of models with the Talons special rule is targeted by a Shooting Attack, all models in the unit gain the Shrouded (6+) special rule if the attacking unit is more than 8" from any model in the target unit. In addition, all models with this special rule also gain the Infiltrate special rule.

Falcons – Any models with this special rule may re-roll all failed To Wound rolls of ‘1’ in any Assault phase in which they make a successful Charge – even if that Charge is considered Disordered.

Hawks – Any models with this special rule gain the Shrouded (6+) special rule on any turn in which they Run, Move Flat Out or move as a Zooming Flyer, with this benefit lasting until the start of the controlling player’s next turn – or if that model would already gain the Shrouded (6+) special rule, it instead gains the Shrouded (5+) special rule (if the unit already has the Shrouded (5+) or better then it gains no additional benefit).

Profiles:

Reactions
Raven Guard Advanced Reaction:

This Advanced Reaction is available only to units composed entirely of models with the Legiones Astartes (Raven Guard) 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.

Fade to Black – 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 (Raven Guard) special rule. Before resolving the Shooting Attack, the unit targeted by the Shooting Attack may make an immediate Move of a number of inches equal to the highest unmodified Initiative Characteristic of any model in the unit, in any direction and gains the Shrouded (4+) special rule for the remainder of the turn. If the Shooting Attack is no longer valid (due to the enemy unit no longer having line of sight to the target unit, for example) then the Active player may not select a different target and no attacks are made or dice rolled for that unit.
