Ofanim

While involved in a Challenge with a model from any Legiones Astartes Faction, a model with this special rule gains a bonus of +1 to their Initiative, can re-roll failed To Wound rolls and gains the Rending (4+) special rule.

A model with this special rule may never be the Warlord. An Ofanim Court may be selected as a Retinue Squad in a Detachment that includes at least one model with both the Master of the Legion and Legiones Astartes (Blood Angels) special rules, instead of as an HQ choice. A unit selected as a ‘Retinue Squad’ must have one model with both the Master of the Legion and Legiones Astartes (Blood Angels) special rules from the same Detachment selected by the controlling player as the Ofanim Court’s Leader for the purposes of this special rule. An Ofanim Court selected as a Retinue Squad does not use up a Force Organisation slot and is considered part of the same unit as the model selected as its Leader. An Ofanim Court selected as a Retinue Squad must be deployed with the model selected as its Leader deployed as part of the unit and the Leader may not voluntarily leave the Retinue Squad during play.

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.

A model with thisspecial rule may only be included in an army that has the Loyalist Allegiance.

A unit with this special rule may not be chosen as a compulsory choice for the army as part of the Force Organisation chart.
