| Mixed Unit:
A unit of Veterans can contain models with different Toughness characteristics. If this is the case, use the Toughness characteristic of the majority of the models in the unit when the enemy makes wound rolls against it. If there is no majority, the Deathwatch player can choose which of the values is used. For the purposes of the Bolter Discipline ability and for determining what models a vehicle can transport, Terminators have the TERMINATOR keyword, Bikers do not have the INFANTRY keyword and instead have the BIKER keyword, and Vanguard Veterans have the JUMP PACK keyword. For the purposes of setting up on or moving through Battlefield Terrain, this unit is treated as an INFANTRY unit, even if it contains any BIKER models. |
| Vanguard Strike:
During the Movement phase, Vanguard Veterans can move across models as if they were not there, and when moving across terrain features, vertical distance is not counted against the total these models can move (i.e. moving vertically is free for these models in the Movement phase). During the Charge phase, Vanguard Veterans can move across models (other than BUILDINGS) as if they were not there. When a Kill Team that includes any Vanguard Veterans Falls Back, it can shoot later that turn as if it could FLY. |
| Atonement Through Honour:
A unit that contains a Black Shield can make Heroic Interventions as if it were a CHARACTER, and must do so if able to. |
| Relentless Assault:
When a Kill Team that includes any Deathwatch Bikers Falls Back, it can charge later that turn. |
| Unflinching:
This unit automatically passes Morale tests if it contains any Terminators. |
| Combat Squads:
Before deployment at the start of the game, a unit with this ability containing 10 models may be split into two units, each containing 5 models. Units of Agressors, Bikers or Inceptors containing 6 models can also be split into two units, each containing 3 models. |
