Rules (10) Liquifractor Archmagos Draykavac may exchange all his attacks in an Assault phase for a single special Liquifractor attack. This attack Hits automatically and may be used against a single model in base contact with Draykavac at Initiative step 1. To resolve the attack, Draykavac’s player rolls 2D6. If the target has a Toughness Characteristic, they suffer a number of Wounds equal to Draykavac’s roll minus their Toughness Characteristic with an AP value of 2. If the target has an Armour Value, reduce the rolled value by half of the Armour Value struck; the result is the number of Penetrating Hits the Vehicle suffers. For example, if Archmagos Draykavac’s player rolls a result of 9 against a Karacnos Assault Tank with a Rear Armour Value of 12 (halved to 6), three Penetrating Hits are inflicted (9-6=3). Incursus Cybertheurgist Archmagos Draykavac has the Artificia Machina and Ephemera Incursus Cybertheurgic Arcana, and has all Rites and weapons that are part of those Arcana. High Techno-arcana: Stataraga Archmagos Draykavac may be chosen as an HQ choice in a Traitor Allegiance Mechanicum Detachment, and may also be taken as a Troops choice in an army using the Divisio Tactica: Questoris Household. As part of a Questoris Knights Detachment, Archmagos Draykavac allows Castellax Battle-automata Maniples and Vorax Battle-automata Maniples to be chosen as non-Compulsory Troops choices for any Detachment in which he is included Battlesmith (X) If a model with the Battlesmith (X) special rule is in base contact with, or Embarked upon, one or more damaged Vehicles, Dreadnoughts or Automata during the Shooting phase, they can attempt to repair one of them instead of firing a weapon. Roll a D6. If the result is equal to or more than the value listed in brackets as part of this rule then one of the following options may be applied to any one Vehicle, Dreadnought or Automata the model is in base contact with or Embarked upon:
• Restore a lost Hull Point.
• Restore a lost Wound.
• Repair a Weapon Destroyed result.
• Repair an Immobilised result.
If a Weapon Destroyed result is repaired, that weapon can be fired in the following Shooting phase. The Battlesmith cannot use this ability if they are Pinned or Falling Back. Firing Protocols (X) When making a Shooting Attack, a model with this special rule may attack with a number of different weapons equal to the value of this special rule. This rule does not allow a single weapon to be attacked with more than once, and only applies if the model is equipped with more than one weapon. For example, as part of a single Shooting Attack, a model with the Firing Protocols (2) special rule may attack with up to two different weapons. Preferred Enemy (X) This rule is presented as Preferred Enemy (X) where X identifies a specific type of foe. If the special rule does no specify a type of foe, then everyone is a Preferred Enemy of the unit. A unit that contains at least one model with this special rule re-rolls failed To Hit and To Wound rolls of 1 if attacking its Preferred Enemy. This applies both to Shooting Attacks and close combat attacks.
If a model with this rule makes an attack against a mixed unit which has one or more models to which their Preferred Enemy rule pertains, but is not entirely composed of such models, it may still benefit from the effects of Preferred Enemy for all attacks made against that unit. For example, a model with Preferred Enemy (Independent Characters) may re-roll failed To Hit and To Wound rolls of 1 against all of the models in a unit which has been joined by an Independent Character. 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. Stubborn When a unit that contains at least one model with this special rule takes Morale checks or Pinning tests, the unit ignore any negative Leadership modifiers. If a unit is both Fearless and Stubborn, the unit uses the rules for Fearless instead. Traitor A model with this special rule may only be included in an army that has the Traitor Allegiance. Pride of Place A model with this special rule may not embark upon any model with the Transport Unit Sub-type, regardless of its Unit Type or any special rules the model with the Transport Sub-type may have.
