And They Shall Know No Fear
Space Marines automatically pass tests to regroup, and can take such tests even if the squad has been reduced to less than half strength by casualties, though all other criteria apply. Usually troops that regroup cannot move normally and always count as moving whether they do or not, but these restrictions do not apply to models subject to this special rule. If Space Marines are caught by a sweeping advance, they are not destroyed and will instead continue to fight normally. If this happens then the unit is subject to the No Retreat! rule in this round of close combat and might therefore suffer additional casualties.


Units which include Servitors are still subject to this rule, providing that the unit contains at least one Space Marine.

Profiles:

Abilities
Psyker (Mastery Level 1):

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

First to the Fray:

If he deploys via Deep Strike, Mordrak and any unit he accompanies will automatically arrive in your first turn and will not scatter.

Ghostly Bodyguard:

An army that includes Mordrak can also include a unit of Ghost Knights. Ghost Knights also always have the Stealth special rule. Mordrak and the Ghost Knights form a unit, with Mordrak acting as an upgrade character until such point as the Ghost Knights are slain, at which point he reverts to being a single-model unit in his own right. 

Whenever Mordrak suffers an unsaved wound, roll a D3 at the end of the phase. If the result is equal to or greater than the number of Mordrak's remaining wounds, a Ghost knight appears to defend him. Place a new Ghost Knight within coherency of Mordrak's unit - it joins Mordrak's unit to all intents and purposes. Note that this can take the squad above its normal maximum size.

This Ghost knight has default wargear, as presented in the army list entry - it cannot have any upgrades. If Mordrak's unit is locked in combat, this new Ghost Knight is placed in base contact with enemy models involved in the combat if possible, otherwise it must be placed 1" away from enemy models, as normal. If you do not have a spare Ghost Knight or if there is insufficient room to place it, then the Ghost Knight does not materialise.

If Mordrak is removed as a casualty, the Ghost Knights lose their connection to the mortal world and are also removed.

The Aegis:

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.

Grand Strategy:

At the start of the game, before forces are deployed, the model can assign special battlefield roles to units under his command. Roll a D3 and choose that many Infantry, Jump Infantry, Monstrous Creature or Walker units in your army (but not models with the Independent Character special rule, Inquisitorial Henchmen Warbands or Grand Master Mordrak's unit of Ghost Knights). These nominated units have one of the following roles for the duration of the game (they must all have the same role). 

Hammer of Righteousness: The nominated units re-roll To Wound rolls of 1 for the duration of the game.

Shield of Blades: The nominated units have the Counter-attack special rule for the game's duration.

Spear of Light: The nominated units have the Scouts special rule for the duration of the game. 

Unyielding Anvil: The nominated units can claim objectives as if they were Troops.

Preffered Enemy (Daemons):

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.

Wargear
Terminator Armour:

Models in Terminator Armour have a 2+ armour save and a 5+ invulnerable save.

Terminator armoured models have the Relentless special rule, may not perform a Sweeping advance and can be teleported onto the battlefield.

They may start the game in reserve and arrive using deep strike rules, even if its not part of the mission being played.

Terminators count as two models for the purposes of transport capacity and cannot embark in Rhinos or Razorbacks.

Frag Grenades:

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

Krak Grenades:

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.

Psyk-out Grenade:

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.

Iron Halo:

An Iron Halo confers a 4+ invulnerable save.

Master-crafted Nemesis Daemon Hammer:

This is a Nemesis Force Weapon which follows the rules for a Thunder Hammer. Note that a Nemesis Dreadknight armed with this weapon strikes at normal Initiative rather than Initiative 1. This weapon is Master-crafted

Psychic Power
Hammerhand:

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.

Psychic Communion:

This power can be used at the start of the Grey Knight's Movement phase. If the Psychic test is successful, you can modify any reserve rolls made this phase by +1 or -1 (choose after each dice roll has been made).

This power is cumulative with other bonuses/penalties, including other uses of Psychic Communion.
