Angels of Death
This unit has the following abilities: And They Shall Know No Fear, Bolter Discipline, Shock Assault and Combat Doctrines.’
Shock Assault
If this unit makes a charge move, is charged or performs a Heroic Intervention, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of models in this unit until the end of the turn.
Bolter Discipline
All ADEPTUS ASTARTES and HERETIC ASTARTES models gain this ability. Instead of following the normal rules for Rapid Fire weapons, Rapid Fire bolt weapons used by models with this ability make double the number of attacks if any of the following conditions apply: 1) The firing model's target is within half the weapon's maximum range. 2)    The firing model is INFANTRY and every model in its unit remained stationary in your previous Movement phase. 3) The firing model is a TERMINATOR, BIKER, CENTURION, or DREADNOUGHT. For the purposes of this ability a Rapid Fire Bolt weapon is any weapon with the Rapid Fire type whose name includes the word 'bolt' (e.g. boltgun, bolt rifle, storm bolter, combi-bolter, hurricane bolter, inferno boltgun, etc.) This also applies when firing the boltgun profile of a combi-weapon (including the bolt weapon profile of Relics such as Blood Song and the Lion's Wrath) and when firing relics that replace a Rapid Fire bolt weapon, so long as the relic is also a rapid-fire weapon (e.g. Primarch's Wrath, Fury of Deimos, etc) The gauntlets of ultramar and the Talon of Horus are also considered Rapid Fire Bolt weapons, as is the guardian spear used by Deathwatch Watch Masters.

Abilities
Airborne Ram:

This model can only declare charges in the Charge phase against units that can FLY, and may only attack or be attacked in the Fight phase by units that can FLY.

Hard to Hit:

Your opponent must subtract 1 from hit rolls for attacks that target this model in the Shooting phase.

Supersonic:

Each time this model moves, first pivot it on the spot up to 90° (this does not contribute to how far the model moves) and then move the model straight forwards. Not that it cannot pivot again after the initial pivot. When this model Advances, increase its Move characteristic by 20" until the end of the phase - do not roll a dice.

Power of the Machine Spirit:

This model does not suffer the penalty to hit rolls for moving and firing Heavy weapons.

Hover Jet:

Before this model moves in your Movement phase, you can declare it will hover. Its Move characteristic becomes 20" until the end of the phase, and it loses the Airborne, Hard to Hit and Supersonic abilities until the beginning of your next Movement phase.
