Rules (8)

Transfixing Glare

Any model in base contact with Mephiston in close combat must take a Leadership test. If it fails the model counts as having WS 1 for the rest of that round.

Blood Fever

If Mephiston's close combat opponents break, he must take a normal Leadership test. If he fails then he stops to quench his ravening bloodthirst and cannot move at all.

Terminator Armour

Gain a 2+ Armour save and 5+ invulnerable save

Artificer Armor

Upgrades Power Armour to a 2+

Psychic Hood

Declare you'll use the Psychic Hood after an opponent has successfully made a Psychic test, but before they have resolved the power. Each player rolls a D6 and adds their respective model's Leadership value. If the Space Marine beats the opposing model's score then the psychic power is nullified and may not be used that turn. Otherwise the power is unaffected. The Hood may be used each time an enemy model uses a power.

Master-crafted Weapons

The bearer may re-roll one failed to hit roll per turn.

Quickening

The Librarian may attempt to use the Quickening at the start of any assault phase. If successfully, one model in his unit gains +D3 Attacks in that phase.

Independent Character

Individual model. Can join other units in battle
