Deep Strike

Each time this unit makes an **ingress move** (20.04), if every model in this unit has this ability, it can be set up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 8" horizontally from all enemy units, even if that is within your opponent’s deployment zone.

Leader

Before the battle, in the Muster Armies step, for each leader and support unit in your army, you can select one friendly bodyguard unit that unit can lead. That unit will then lead that bodyguard unit for the battle and form an attached unit with it. Unless otherwise stated, each bodyguard unit can only have one leader unit and one support unit attached to it.

Martial Ka'tah

Each time a unit with this ability is selected to fight, select one of the Ka'tah stances below. Until that unit has finished making its attacks, the selected Stance is active for it and it gains the relevant ability.

■ DACATARAI STANCE
Melee weapons equipped by models in this unit have the [SUSTAINED HITS 1] ability.
■ RENDAX STANCE
Melee weapons equipped by models in this unit have the [LETHAL HITS] ability.

Abilities
Master of the Stances: Once per battle, when this model's unit is selected to fight, it can use this ability. If it does, until that fight is resolved, both Ka'tah Stances are active for that unit, instead of only one.
Leader: This model can be attached to the following units: Custodian Guard Custodian Guard with Adrasite and Pyrithite Spears Custodian Wardens Sagittarum Custodians
Strategic Mastery: Once per battle round, one unit from your army with this ability can use it when its unit is targeted with a Stratagem. If it does, reduce the CP cost of that use of that Stratagem by 1CP.
Null Aegis (Aura): While an Adeptus Custodes unit is within 6" of this unit, models in that unit have the Feel No Pain 5+ ability against Psychic Attacks and mortal wounds.
Deadly Unity (Aura): While an Anathema Psykana unit is within 6" of this unit, each time a model in that Anathema Psykana unit makes an attack, add 1 to the Hit roll.
