Daemonhunters Special Rules

The following special rules apply to Daemonhunter formations and units.

Strategy Rating: Daemonhunter armies have a strategy rating of 3. Armies that consist only of Grey Knights, Navy Aircraft and Titans have a strategy rating of 5.

Initiative Rating: Inquisitorial Stormtrooper, Vultures and Navy aircraft formations have an initiative rating of 2+. Grey Knight and Titans have an initiative rating of 1+.

Grey Knights Special Rules

The “They Shall Know No Fear” special rule applies to all Grey Knight formations.

The Shrouding: The combined psychic prayers of the Grey Knights are focussed in battle to constantly confuse their enemies.

Treat all Grey Knight formations with the special ability “The Shrouding” as if in cover for the “To hit Modifier Table” on page 20 of the rulebook. Even weapons with the “Ignore Cover” special ability do not negate this effect. Note that they are not receiving any cover save. To say it in other words, units with the “The Shrouding” special ability are always at -1 to Hit. This modifier is cumulative, so a Grey Knight unit within actual cover is at -2 to Hit.

Using The Army List

The following army list allows you to field an army based on an Inquisitorial Ordo Malleus Task Force. The Ordo Malleus Task Force is organised into small formations called detachments.

Important Note: Some detachments may only be taken if at least one Inquisitor is in the force.

Each detachment is made up of several units, and may also include a number of extra units called upgrades.

The detachments that may be taken are shown on the chart below. The chart also shows what units comprise the detachment, what upgrades are allowed, and its points cost. For example, a Grey Knight detachment consists of 6 Grey Knight units for 350 points, and may include the Grey Knight Commander, Grey Knight Dreadnought, Land Raider and Land Raider Crusader upgrades at an additional cost in points.

Each upgrade that is taken adds to the cost of the detachment, as shown on the upgrade chart. The upgrade chart also lists the units that make up the upgrade. Note that these will sometimes replace units in the detachment they are taking for (e.g. Character Upgrades), and sometimes take the form of additional units for the detachment. Each upgrade may be taken once per formation.

Odro Malleus Task Forces may be supported by Imperial Navy aircraft and Titan Legion battle groups. A maximum of up to one third of the points available to the army may be spent on these formations.
