1.0 Heresy Legion Rules:

1.1 Space Marine Legion TransportsThe Space Marines are a highly mobile army. Because of this, the points cost of a

detachment usually includes enough Rhino transport vehicles to transport it and

any upgrades that have been taken. Determine the number of Rhinos needed after

all upgrades have been purchased. The number of Rhinos will always be the

minimum needed to carry the formation, you cant take extras along to cover any

losses! Note that many formations dont receive Rhinos, usually because they cant

fit into them. Detachments that come with Rhinos will be noted as having plus

transport in the units section of the army list below. Also note that you dont have

to take Rhinos if you dont want to. If youd rather field the formation on foot

instead, so it can act as a garrison for example, or be transported in a

Thunderhawk Gunship, or upgrade to a different mode of transport, then you may

do so. In addition, you may choose to replace a detachments Rhinos with Drop

Pods, or select the drop pods detachment upgrade. If you do this, then the

detachment will enter play in a Drop Pod using the rules for planetfall (see Epic

Armageddon rulebook section 4.4). Note that if you choose to do this, The entire

detachment must be allowed to deploy via drop pod, and you will also require at

least one Space Marine Strike Cruiser or Battle Barge to deploy the drop podsfrom. Choosing transport options is part of the army selection process. Portions of

a formation may be left behind during deployment (to garrison, for example) the

decision to exchange options, even free ones, must be determined when the

army list is determined.

1.2 Exploratory Augury Web:Enemy detachments entering play via planetfall within 15cm of a unit with

Exploratory Augury Web must roll a d6 for each unit in in the detachment, taking a

blast marker for each 1 rolled. Friendly units entering play via Teleport within 15cm

of a friendly unit with Exploratory Augury Web do not need to roll for blast

markers.

1.3 Imperial Void ShieldsImperial Titans are protected by void shield generators. The number of void

shields each Titan has is noted on the Titans datasheet. Each void shield will

automatically stop one point of damage and then go down. Do not make armour

saves for damage stopped by void shields, nor allocate Blast markers. Once all of

the shields have been knocked down, the Titan may be damaged normally and

you may make saving throws against any hits that are scored. Hits from closecombat ignore void shields but units using their firefight values must first knock

down any

shields before they can damage the Titan. Void shields that have been knocked

down can be repaired. Each Titan can repair one downed void shield in the end

phase of each turn. In addition, if a Titan regroups it can use the dice roll to either

repair the void shield or remove Blast markers (eg, if you rolled a 2 you could

repair 2 shields, remove 2 Blast markers or repair 1 shield and remove 1 Blast

marker).

1.4 FeedbackIf a unit with Feedback fails to cause damage when hitting an enemy unit, roll a

dice for every successful armour save the enemy made. The firing unit takes a

blast marker for each 1 rolled.
