Techmarine

This psychic power can be used at the start of the Techmarine's Movement phase. If the Psychic test is successful, the Techmarine can re-roll any repair roll he makes this turn.

This power is used during the Assault phase in either player's turn, after assault moves have been made, but before any blows have been struck. If the Psychic test is passed, all models in the unit (including independent characters) have +1 Strength until the end of the Assault phase. Note that this Strength bonus is applied before any other modifiers, such as for Nemesis Daemon hammers and so forth.

Models equipped with assault grenades don’t suffer the penalty to their Initiative for assaulting enemies through cover, but fight as normal.

When assaulting a vehicle, each model using Krak grenades can only ever make one attack, regardless of the number of Attacks on their profile and any bonus attacks. Against vehicles, Krak grenades have an armor penetration value of 6+D6.

When a unit equipped with Psyk-out Grenades launches an assault, any Daemons or Psykers in the assaulted unit(s) are reduced to Initiative 1 for the remainder of the phase.

If an enemy Psyker attempts to target a model with the Aegis special rule (or a unit that contains a model with the Aegis special rule) he suffers a -1 Penalty to his Leadership for the purposes of his Psychic test. A psychic power that does not specifically target a unit with the Aegis special rule does not suffer this penalty, even if the unit with the Aegis special rule is affected by the psychic power.

If this model is in base contact with a damaged vehicle during the Shooting phase, he can attempt to repair it instead of firing. Roll a D6 and add the following modifiers:

• Each Servitor with a servo-arm in the unit: +1
• The Model has a servo-harness: +1

If the result is 5 or more, then either a Weapon Destroyed result or Immobilised result (owning player's choice) will be repaired. If a Weapon Destroyed result is repaired, that weapon can be fired in the following Shooting phase. The Model cannot repair if gone to ground or falling back.

Each model with this ability can bolster a single ruin before the game begins. When you deploy, nominate one ruin in your deployment area for your Model to bolster. The ruin's cover save is increased by one for the duration of the game. For example, a normal ruin (4+ save) so reinforced would offer a 3+ cover save. A ruin can only be bolstered once.

Independent characters follow the Movement rules for models of their type, be it infantry, jump infantry, bike, etc. In addition, independent characters can move through difficult terrain more quickly and safely than ordinary troops. All independent characters have the ‘move through cover’ and ‘skilled rider’ special rules. This advantage does not extend to any vehicles they may be travelling in.

Independent characters are allowed to join other units. They cannot, however, join vehicle squadrons (see the Vehicles section) and units that always consist of a single model (like most vehicles and monstrous creatures). They can join other independent characters though, to form a powerful multi-character unit!

Units with this ability can always re-roll their rolls to hit in close combat against Daemons. This ability does not work when attacking vehicles without a Weapon Skill characteristic.

This model is a Psyker who follows the rules for Psyker Mastery Level.
