The Swift Blade
(Rule)Description: Effects
• A Detachment using this Rite of War may take up to five HQ choices, regardless of the Force Organisation chart in use. One of these HQ choices must be a Legion Praetor and all other HQ choices selected must be a Legion Centurion and must select a Legion Spatha combat bike or Legion Scimitar jetbike (a Legion Centurion may select an upgrade from the Legiones Consularis as per the normal rules). No single HQ choice is selected as the Warlord, instead all HQ choices are treated as the Warlord. These HQ choices do not choose a Warlord Trait but instead gain the Jadhek Clanlord Warlord Trait. All of the HQs in this Detachment must be slain to fulfil the conditions of any rule or objective that requires a Warlord to be removed from play as a casualty, however the bonus Reaction granted by the Jadhek Clanlord Warlord Trait is only added once per turn, although the army retains this bonus until all Warlords with this Trait have been removed as a casualty.
• Legion Outrider Squads may be taken as Troops choices in a Detachment using this Rite of War.
Limitations
• This Rite of War may only be selected for a Primary Detachment.
• A Detachment using this Rite of War may not take any model whose rules state that it must be the army’s Warlord, including, but not limited to, the Legion’s Primarch.
• A Detachment using this Rite of War may not take any units that include one or more models with the Heavy, Bombard, Slow, Super-heavy or Artillery Unit Sub-types.
