Rules (12)
Digi-lasers
One model in base contact with Tycho, suffers a wound on a D6 roll of 4+ at the start of the round before any close combat attacks are made. Normal saving throws are allowed. In addition, the digi-lasers provides an extra close combat weapon (to 4 A).
Embittered
Any squad led by Tycho always moves towards the enemy D6".
Hates Orks
When fighting against Orks, Tycho and any squad he leads automatically pass any Morale checks they are required to make. In close combat against Orks, Tycho always hits on a 3+.
The Red Thirst
If a Death Company unit contains Tycho then it must move directly toward the nearest enemy as fast as possible and must make an assault if it can do so. This applies even if a Chaplain or a Sanguinary High Priest leads the Death Company.
Ignore Injury
If a Death Company Space Marine loses a wound, roll a dice. On a 4+ the injury is ignored and the model continues fighting. This cannot be used against weapons which inflict instant death or against close combat weapons that allow no save.
Transport
A Death Company including Tycho may not use jump packs and must be mounted in a Rhino, unless there are more than 10 models in the unit, in which case they must march into battle on foot.
Brother Captain Tycho (Death Company)
Tycho must join the Death Company unit, which must contain a Chaplain. He fights as one of the Death Company and does not follow any of the independent character rules. Opponents may designate him as a target for melee attacks subject to the normal rules.
Artificer Armor
Upgrades Power Armour to a 2+
Bionics
If a model with bionics is killed, instead of removing it, place it on its side. Roll a D6 at the start of the next turn; on a roll of a 6 the model stands back up with 1 wound.
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.
The Black Rage
All Blood Angel models gain +1 Strength and +1 Initiative in the turn in which they charge into close combat, or make a sweeping advance into an enemy unit. A Blood Angels unit that breaks or wipes out an enemy in hand-to-hand combat must advance if it could normally do so.
Additionally, at the start of every Blood Angels turn, roll a D6 for each Blood Angels unit in the army (including vehicles and independent characters). On a roll of 1, the unit moves D6" forwards towards the enemy. This move does not affect the unit's movement in the movement or assault phase, but does mean the unit counts as moving for the purposes of using ranged weapons.
The Death Company
For each unit of Honour Guard; Terminator Squad; Terminator Assault Squad; Veteran Squad; Tactical Squad; Scout Squad; Assault Squad; Veteran Assault Squad; Bike Squadron; Scout Bike Squadron; and Devastator Squad, toll a D6 at the start of the battle. On a 4 or 5 one model from the squad joins the Death Company. On a 6 one model joins the Death Company and you must roll again for the unit. Keep rolling unitl no more 6's have been rolled.
If you roll a 4+ for a squad let by a Veteran Sergeant, he may also join the Death Company.
The models that join the Death Company replace their equipment with the equipment listed in the Death Company roster.
