Legiones Astartes (Emperor's Children)
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.
Relentless
Relentless models can shoot with Heavy or Ordnance weapons, counting as Stationary, even if they moved in the previous Movement phase. They are also allowed to Charge in the same turn they fire Heavy, Ordnance, or Rapid Fire weapons.
Chosen Warriors
A model with this special rule may issue and accept Challenges as if it had the Character type. Note that this does not allow a model with this special rule to use any other special rules associated with the Character type.
Counter-Attack (X)
If a unit contains at least one model with this special rule, and that unit is Charged, every model with the Counterattack special rule gains a number of additional Attacks equal to the value in brackets listed as part of this special rule. If no value is listed then the unit gains +1 Attack.
If, when Charged, the unit was already locked in combat or has made the Hold the Line Reaction, the Counterattack special rule has no effect.
Skill Unmatched
When a combat that involves one or more models with this special rule is resolved, before the start of initiative step 10 the controlling player of any models in that combat with this special rule may select on of three following options and apply the effects of that option to all models with this special rule for the duration of that Assault phase. When a unit contains more than one unit with this special rule, then all models in that unit must select the same option if one is chose:

A Perfect Guard: If a model or models with the Skill Unmatched special rule selects this option, they must increase their Weapon Skill by +1 for the purposes of determining the score required for enemy models to make To Hit rolls only, but must reduce their Attacks Characteristisc by -1.


A Perfect Strike: If a modle or models with the Skill Unmatched special rule selects this option, they must increase their Weapon Skill by +1 for the purpose of determining the score required for that model's To Hit rolls targeting enemy models only, but must reduce their Attacks Characteristic by -1.

A Perfect Fury: If a model or models with the Skill Unmatched special rule selects this option, they must increase their Attacks by +1, but must reduce their Weapon Skill by -1.
Legiones Hereticus (Emperor’s Children)
Lords of Profligacy
After a Shooting Attack has been resolved against a unit composed entirely of models with this special rule, if that unit is not Falling Back, its controlling player can choose for it to become Stupefied. If a unit becomes Stupefied while Pinned or affected by the Blind or Concussive (X) special rules, it ignores the effects of these while Stupefied.

Stupefied
A unit that is Stupefied can only fire Snap Shots and cannot make Reactions in any Phase. If a unit that is Stupefied has a Charge declared for it, then that Charge is always considered to be Disordered. Furthermore, whilst Stupefied, all models in that unit increase their Strength Characteristic by +1 and when a model in a Stupefied unit suffers an unsaved Wound, it can make a special Stupefied roll to ignore it. Stupefied rolls may not be taken against attacks that have the Instant Death special rule. Roll a D6 each time an unsaved Wound is suffered. On a 6+, the unsaved Wound is ignored. On any other result the Wound is applied as normal. Add 1 to Stupefied rolls made for units which have the Fearless special rule. A Stupefied roll is a Damage Mitigation roll – any model may make only a single Damage Mitigation roll of any type for any given Wound.
At the end of its controlling player’s following turn, the unit is no longer Stupefied. Whilst it is Stupefied, a unit does not take further Morale checks in the Movement phase or Shooting phase and cannot be Pinned. If the unit is forced to move, for example, if it has to Fall Back, it is no longer Stupefied. If assaulted, the unit will fight as usual, but enemy units do not receive the Initiative penalty for having Charged a unit through Difficult Terrain, even if the Stupefied unit is in Difficult Terrain. If a unit becomes Stupefied while making a Charge, then that Charge continues as normal, but is automatically counted as Disordered. Units that are locked in combat can be Stupefied, but take Morale checks in the Assault phase as normal and if forced to Fall Back are no longer Stupefied.
