Ancient Helveticus (Chapter Approved)

The Banner of Macragge has the combined effect of both the Sacred Standard and Holy Relic. In addition, Ancient Helveticus and any Ultramarines squad he joins becomes fearless and automatically passes any Morale or Pinning checks that they have to take. Even effects that normally force a fall back move to take place with no Morale check are ignored by Helveticus and the unit.


Finally, the presences of the Banner of Macragge is an unwelcome sight to their enemies - it tells them that they are facing the entire might of the Chapter. This is represented by all enemy units with 12" of the banner bearing suffering -1 to their Leadership values for any Morale checks they are forced to make. 


If Ancient Helveticus is killed, these benefits no longer apply for whoever picks up the banner. Also these benefits do not apply if Ancient Helveticus is inside of a vehicle, bunker or off-table in reserve.

Ancient Helventicus' armour save counts as being invulnerable.

If Ancient Helveticus is killed, leave the model in place to show where the banner has fallen. Regardless of the mission being played, the Ultramarine player now also has to full the victory conditions for a 'Rescue' standard mission, treating the sadly departed Helveticus as the objective. If the Ultramarine player is not in possession of the banner at the end of the battle, they lose regardless of any other victory conditions. If they have the banner, they only win if they have fulfilled the victory conditions of the original mission as well.

However, if the model bearing the standard is slain in close combat, then the enemy model that slew him captures the standard gains the +1 bonus to combat resolution from then on. It is possible for the model to change hands multiple times per game.

Once per game the relic may be activated to grant all Space Marines within 2D6" to gain +1 Attack for the rest of the turn. Note it may be activated during the enemy's turn.
