Captain Darnath Lysander

Any models in a squad Lysander has joined can re-roll failed 'to hit' rolls when shooting with Heavy Bolters, Storm Bolters, Bolters and Bolt Pistols.

If you include Lysander then all units in your army exchange the combat tactics special rule for the Stubborn universal rule. If more than one character in your army has the Chapter Tactics special rule, you must choose which version will apply.

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!

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.

The model is immune to the effects of the Instant Death rule.

This is a master-crafted Thunder Hammer. All hits from the Fist of Dorn are resolved at Strength 10 and add +1 to rolls on the vehicle damage table.

A model with a storm shield has a 3+ invulnerable save. A model equipped with a storm shield can never claim the +1 Attack bonus for being armed with two close combat weapons in an assault.
