Rules (3) Scouts This ability always takes the form **Scouts X"**. In the Resolve Pre-battle Abilities step, if every model in a unit has this ability, you can do one of the following:
- If that unit is in **strategic reserves**, you can set up that unit anywhere that is wholly within your deployment zone.
- If that unit is wholly within your deployment zone, it can make a **scout move** (see below).
- If that unit is embarked within a **DEDICATED TRANSPORT** that is wholly within your deployment zone, and if every model embarked within that **DEDICATED TRANSPORT** has the Scouts ability, that **DEDICATED TRANSPORT** can make a **scout move**. Assigned Agents If your army Faction is not AGENTS OF THE IMPERIUM, but every model in your army has the IMPERIUM keyword, you can include AGENTS OF THE IMPERIUM units in your army even if they do not have the Faction keyword you selected in the Select Army Faction step. In this case, the maximum number of AGENTS OF THE IMPERIUM units you can include in your army depends on the battle size, as shown below.
Incursion: 1 RETINUE, 1 CHARACTER, 1 REQUISITIONED
Strike Force: 2 RETINUE, 2 CHARACTER, 1 REQUISITIONED
Onslaught: 3 RETINUE, 3 CHARACTER, 2 REQUISITIONED
Note that you can include AGENTS OF THE IMPERIUM DEDICATED TRANSPORT units in such an army as normal, but each unit must start the battle with one or more units embarked within it, or it cannot be deployed for that battle and will count as having been destroyed during the first battle round. Acts of Faith If your Army Faction is ^^**Adepta Sororitas**^^, each unit from your army with this ability can perform one Act of Faith per phase. This is done using Miracle dice.
GAINING MIRACLE DICE
If your Army Faction is ^^**Adepta Sororitas**^^, you gain 1 Miracle dice:
- At the start of each battle round.
- Each time an ^^**Adepta Sororitas**^^ unit from your army is destroyed.
Each time you gain a Miracle dice, roll one D6. The number you roll is the value of that Miracle dice. This value cannot be changed or re-rolled, unless a rule specifically states otherwise. Keep your Miracle dice to one side – this is your Miracle dice pool.
PERFORMING AN ACT OF FAITH
Before making a dice roll for a model or unit from your army with the Acts of Faith ability, if you have one or more dice in your Miracle dice pool, that unit can perform an Act of Faith. If it does, select one of the dice from your Miracle dice pool to substitute that dice roll (if a roll involves more than one dice, e.g. a Charge roll or Battle-shock test, only a single dice can
be substituted). The dice that is being substituted is not rolled; instead the value of the selected Miracle dice is used as if it had been rolled (this counts as an unmodified dice roll of that value for all rules purposes). Each Miracle dice can only be selected for substitution once. Once all Miracle dice substitutions have been made, remove the chosen Miracle dice from your Miracle dice pool, and roll all remaining, unsubstituted dice that are a part of the dice roll. You can use Miracle dice when a unit performs an Act of Faith for any of the following types of dice roll:
■ Advance roll
■ Battle-shock test
■ Charge roll
■ Damage roll
■ Hit roll
■ Saving throw
■ Wound roll
