IV: Iron Warriors

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

Bitter Fury – Bitter Fury – This Advanced Reaction may be made once per battle during the opposing player’s Shooting phase when any enemy unit declares a Shooting Attack targeting a friendly unit under the Reactive player’s control composed entirely of models with the Legiones Astartes (Iron Warriors) special rule. Once the Active player has resolved all To Hit and To Wound rolls, and Armour Saves are made, but before any Damage Mitigation rolls are made or casualties removed, the Reactive player may make a Shooting Attack, targeting the unit that triggered this Reaction, with all weapons making twice their normal number of attacks but gaining the Gets Hot special rule. To Hit rolls for weapons that already possess the Gets Hot special rule trigger that special rule on a roll of 1 or 2 during this Shooting Attack, instead of only on a 1. A unit that makes a Shooting Attack as part of a Bitter Fury Reaction may not make any attacks indirectly (without line of sight) including weapons with the Barrage special rule or other weapon or special rule that otherwise ignore line of sight, and Vehicles may only fire Defensive weapons. Template weapons used as part of a Bitter Fury Reaction use the Wall of Death rule instead of firing normally.
