Brother Captain Tycho (Death Company)

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).

Any squad led by Tycho always moves towards the enemy D6".

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+.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Upgrades Power Armour to a 2+

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.

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.
