Fortification
(Rule)Description: • A model with the Fortification Unit Type is a Terrain Piece that is selected as part of a player’s army and included as part of their Army Roster, and counts as a unit under that player’s control for all purposes (including Sudden Death Victories and Objectives).
• A model with this Unit Type that is selected as part of a player’s army is always ‘claimed’ and remains under that player’s control at all times (see page 223 of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Age of Darkness Rulebook).
• A model with the Fortification Unit Type can never be Pinned and never take Morale checks or Leadership tests.
• A model with the Fortification Unit Type can never hold or deny objectives.
• A model with the Fortification Unit Type can never make a Reaction of any type.
• A model with the Fortification Unit Type can never declare a Charge or make attacks in the Assault Phase (but can be the target of a Charge or attacks by other models in the
Assault Phase).
• A model with the Fortification Unit Type may attack with all weapons it has in each Shooting Phase, targeting a single enemy unit unless another special rule allows it to do otherwise.
• A model that has the Fortification Unit Type may not join other units, or be joined by any other model, including other models with the Fortification Unit Type. Each model with the Fortification Unit Type is always considered a separate unit (excepting only Multi-part fortifications, see page 225 of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Age of Darkness Rulebook).
