At the start of the battle before any models are deployed, Alpharius may be given any one of the following special rules: Infiltrate, Scout or Deep Strike. Alpharius' controlling player may select up to three friendly units composed entirely of models with the Legiones Astartes (Alpha Legion) special rule to receive the same special rule granted to Alpharius by Everywhere and Nowhere.
At the start of any turn in which Alpharius' controlling player is the Active player and Alpharius is on the battlefield (including when Embarked on a model with the Transport Sub-type or Building), the controlling player may grant one of the listed special rules to all models in the army with the Legiones Astartes (Alpha Legion) special rule (including Alpharius) that do not also have the Vehicle Unit Type, until the start of the controlling player's next turn as the Active player. Each of the listed special rules may only be selected once per battle: - The Fleet (2) special rule - The Preferred Enemy (Everything) special rule - The Sudden Strike (1) special rule
Models with the Adamantium Will special rule gain an Invulnerable Save against any Wound inflicted by a weapon with the Force or Psychic Focus special rules and Wounds inflicted by Perils of the Warp – the value of this Save is indicated in brackets after the rule. For example, a model with Adamantium Will (5+) gains a 5+ Invulnerable Save against any Wound inflicted by a weapon with the Force or Psychic Focus special rules and Wounds inflicted by Perils of the Warp. If, for any reason, the Adamantium Will special rule is presented without a value in brackets then consider the rule to be Adamantium Will (5+).
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.
Lies and Obfuscation: A model with this special rule is always considered to be 2" further away than it actually is when measuring range to it from any enemy model for the purpose of resolving a Shooting Attack, Charge or any Reation declared by an enemy model or unit (this is cumulative with any other modifiers to range imposed by special rules, such as Night Fighting or Wargear).
