Rules (13) Challenge At the start of any Assault phase that the Champion is in combat, he may issue a challenge. Your opponent must choose an enemy character to fight him who is involved in the same close combat. The challenge may not be refused. Move the models into base contact and fight out the close combat as normal. No other models may attack the Champion or his opponent. The outcome of the challenge decides the outcome of the close combat; only the wounds they inflict on each other are used to determine which side has won. Artificer Armor Upgrades Power Armour to a 2+ Terminator Honors Gain +1 Attack (Already included for Veteran Sergeants and Space Marines wearing Terminator Armour) Purity Seals When a unit including a model wearing Purity Seals falls back, roll one extra D6 for the fall back distance, and then pick the D6 results you want. Iron Halo The iron halo grants a 4+ invulnerable save. Master-crafted Weapons The bearer may re-roll one failed to hit roll per turn. Independent Character Individual model. Can join other units in battle Righteous Zeal If a Black Templars unit ever has to fall back, it will not fall back. Instead, the unit moves towards the nearest enemy unit using the same distance they would have moved if they had fallen back. If this movement takes the unit into contact with an enemy unit, the Black Templars count as making a sweeping advance, with all the benefits and disadvantages that this entails. In close combat, Black Templars automatically pass any Morale checks they have to make and may never use the optional voluntarily fall abck rules. Vows The Black Templars must swear one vow before a battle. Choose which vow your army has sword after you've determine the mission but before either army sets up. Vow: Accept Any Challenge, No Matter the Odds All units must assault the enemy if they are in range at the start of the Assault phase, and they must make an advance move if they win a combat, if they would normally be allowed to do so. In close combat, the Black Templars always hit on a 3+, but Neophytes roll using WS as normal. Vow: Uphold the Honour of the Emperor Black Templar units may not count cover for saving throws or when assaulted, however they gain a 6+ invulnerable saving throw. Neophytes may count cover as normal but do not gain the invulnerable save. Vow: Suffer Not the Unclean To Live When rolling to wound in close combat, Black Templars add +1 to their dice roll. A roll of 1 always fails to wound. But to do so, they must now strike at -1 Initiative. Neophytes strike and wound as normal. Vow: Be Pure in Mind, Body, and Soul If an enemy psyker is on the table at the start of the Black Templars' first movement phase, the Black Templars must make an additional move towards the enemy before their normal move. This distance moved is 2D6" (roll for each unit) and each unit must move the full distance, ending the move closer to the enemy than when they started, if possible. After this initial surge, units may make their normal move without restriction. All units count as moving that turn when resolving shooting.
