At the start of each Fight phase, you must chose a combat stance for this model to adopt for the duration of that phase - either the Sword Strike stance or the Blade Shield stance. If you chose the Sword Strike stance, add 1 to this model's wound rolls for that phase. If you choose the Blade Shield stance, add 1 to this model’s saving throws (except saving throws using an invulnerable save) for that phase.
You can re-roll failed Morale tests for this unit.
If this unit attacks any Daemon in the Fight phase, you can re-roll failed wound rolls for those attacks.
If this model is slain in the fight phase, it can immediately pile in and attack before being removed as a casualty.
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.
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.
PSYKER units with this ability gain a bonus depending on which of the Tides of the Warp is dominant (see below). If you have a Battle-forged army, units only benefit from this bonus is every unit from your army has this ability (excluding Servitor units). At the start of the first battle rounds, choose which of the Tides if currently dominant. The dominant Tide can subsequently be changed using the Warp Shaping psychic power.
