The Stone Gauntlet Effects
• Phalanx Warder Squads may be taken as Troops choices for a Detachment using this Rite of War.
• All models selected as part of a Phalanx Warder Squad in a Detachment using this Rite of War gain the Line Sub-type and Heart of the Legion special rule.
• Any model in a Detachment using this Rite of War, and with the Legiones Astartes (Imperial Fists) special rule, with a boarding shield, which is in unit coherency with at least two other models that also fit these criteria, may reroll all failed Invulnerable Saves made against Shooting Attacks or attacks made during the Fight sub-phase. This bonus may not be claimed if the unit the model is part of has made a Run move, Charge or a Sweeping Advance move in the current player turn, or is Falling Back.
• Any model in a Detachment using this Rite of War with the Legiones Astartes (Imperial Fists) special rule, with a boarding shield, which is in unit coherency with at least two other models that also fit these criteria, gains the Hammer of Wrath (1) special rule for the duration of any Assault phase in which a Charge is declared for the unit that model is part of (whether or not the Charge is successful).
Limitations
• A Detachment using this Rite of War must select Phalanx Warder Squads to fill all Compulsory Troops choices in the Detachment.
• A Detachment using this Rite of War may not deploy models using the Deep Strike special rule or otherwise as part of a Deep Strike Assault, Subterranean Assault or Flanking Assault (and units which must deploy by these methods therefore cannot be chosen as part of the Detachment).
• A Detachment using this Rite of War cannot take more Elites and Fast Attack choices in total than they have Troops choices in the Detachment. So, for example, a Detachment with three Troops choices could take three choices made up of Fast Attack, Elites, or a combination of the two.
