Black Legion

Black Legion Special Rules

The models in the Black Legion army use a number of special rules that are common to more

than one unit, as specified in the individual entries that follow. Given here are either the details

of those rules or reference to where you can find them.

Executioners Strike

Any model in Terminator Armor that chooses to Deep Strike only rolls a single D6 for scatter,

rather than the usual 2D6. In addition, the unit may re-roll its reserve roll dice if the player so

chooses.

In addition to those units listed with this rule, any Black Legion model wearing Terminator

armor also gains Executioners Strike. Also, all models in a unit must have this rule to benefit

from it.

Forces of the Black Legion

Abaddon the Despoiler

Abaddon is the supreme leader of the Black Legion, their new and dreaded Warmaster. For

10,000 years he has led his legion in an endless war against the Corpse God and his minions,

sustained by his hatred and his desire for revenge.

Special Rules

Fearless, Eternal Warrior, Daemonic Aura, Executioners Strike, Independent Character

Commanding Presence

Abaddon is a consummate leader, controlling his forces through a mixture of fear, respect, and

masterful abilities of oration.

Any friendly Chaos units within 12 of Abaddon gain the Fearless special rule.

Warmaster of the Black Legion

After they became the Black Legion, Abaddon has lead his warriors through countless battles.

They, like their master, have become hard-bitten and experts at war.

If Abaddon is included in a Black Legion army, you may select up to three units of Chaos

Chosen.

Wargear

Mark of Chaos Ascendant

Like Horus before him, Abaddon has managed to serve all the gods without giving himself to

any one god. This is signified by a unique mark, which combines the powers of all four Dark

Gods. Abaddons profile is modified accordingly, including his invulnerable save being

modified to a 4+.

Talon of Horus

The Talon of Horus counts as a master-crafted lightning claw. It also incorporates an early,

custom storm bolter with the following profile:

Range Strength AP Type

24 5 5 Assault 3

In addition, any enemy unit in close combat with Abaddon suffers a -1 penalty to all Morale

checks.

Drachnyen

Drachnyen counts as a power weapon. In the Assault phase, Abaddon may make a single

special attack with Drachnyen, in addition to his normal attacks. If he hits, the attack wounds

automatically. In addition, any model wounded by this attack suffers Instant Death. Vehicles

struck by this attack suffer an automatic penetrating hit.

Chaos Terminator Armor

The armor worn by Abaddon is blessed by the Dark Gods, granting him protection against the

psychic powers of his enemies.

If Abaddon, or the unit he is with, is affected by an enemy psychic power, roll a D6. On a roll of

4+ that power is nullified.

Mordred the Black

Mordred was once a marine of great ambition. A rival to Abaddon, the two vied for their

Primarchs favor on many occasions. One such time would irrevocably change Mordred from

the proud warrior he was, to the taciturn marine he is today.

During an engagement against a hostile xenos battle cruiser, Abaddon and Mordred were each

given command of a squad of Terminators and tasked with wiping the vessel clean of the filthy

aliens. What transpired after the legionaries were teleported on board the enemy ship is known

only to Abaddon and Mordred, for they were the only ones to return. After their report to him,

Horus bade them never speak of it, and he gave no official report of it.

Afterwards, Mordred was never the same, and became like a shadow to Abaddon. Though is

skill of arms and many victories in battle would have surely propelled him through the ranks,

Mordred never sought such honors and even refused them when they were suggested.

Forevermore he would stand with Abaddon no longer as his peer, but as his servant and silent

bodyguard.

Special

Fearless, Executioners Strike

Defend the Warmaster

Mordred has dedicated his life to safeguarding Warmaster Abaddon, and spends countless hours

drilling his squad in protective stances and techniques.

A single Independent Character that has joined Mordreds squad (chosen at the start of each of

the Chaos players turns) gains a 5+ Invulnerable save, or has his existing Invulnerable save

increased by +1. If Abaddon has joined Mordreds squad, he must be selected as the recipient of

this bonus. Note that this bonus applies even if Mordred is removed, as he has trained his squad

extensively.

Wargear

The Hand of Strife

The Hand of Strife is a massive, two-handed power mace. It was said to be a gift from Horus

himself, and now symbolizes Mordreds brutal, unflinching command of his squad.

The Hand of Strife is a power weapon that adds +2 to the wielders Strength in close combat. In

addition, such is the force of a blow from the weapon that all models that suffer an unsaved

wound from it and are not killed must make an immediate Toughness test or suffer an additional

wound, with no armor or invulnerable saves allowed.

Because of its size, the Hand of Strife requires two hands to use, so Mordred may not claim the

bonus for a second close combat weapon.

Daemon Prince

Daemon Princes are the mightiest of the Chaos Gods followers, having been elevated by their

dark masters to the immortal ranks of daemonhood. These princes of the Warp lead mighty

hosts of Chaos or act as patrons to powerful Chaos Lords.

Special Rules

Fearless, Eternal Warrior

Psyker

Some Daemon Princes are gifted with psychic abilities by their patron god. If a Daemon Prince

does not have the Mark of Khorne, he may be upgraded to a psyker. He may choose one psychic

power from those available to Sorcerers. He may use one psychic power per turn.

Wargear

Kai Gun

Ancient and terrible weapons, kai guns are the mad creations of a lost race. Infused with the

power of the Warp, these guns are wielded by only the most powerful of Daemon Princes.

A kai gun is a ranged weapon that uses the following profile:


24 6 3 Rapid Fire

Wings

A daemon prince equipped with wings function in all ways as jump infantry, though its unit type

doesnt change. As such, a daemon prince with wings may be held in reserve and arrive using

the deep strike rules.

Chaos Lord

Special Rules

Fearless, Independent Character

Wargear

Daemon Weapon

See the Daemon Weapon section below.

Chaos Champion

The path to immortality is a long and bloody struggle for a champion of Chaos. Those who

distinguish themselves from their battle-brothers, through acts of carnage and victories on the

battlefield, rise to become Chaos Champions. Favored by the Dark Gods, they serve as

lieutenants to mighty Lords and Daemon Princes, or lead their own small warband of Chaos

Marines. They fight the Long War in hopes of rising to the rank of Chaos Lord, and perhaps

someday achieving the immortality of daemonhood.

Special Rules

Fearless, Independent Character

Chaos Sorcerer

Special Rules

Independent Character

Psyker

A Sorcerer is a psyker. He may choose any two psychic powers from those available to

Sorcerers. He may use one psychic power per turn.

Master Sorcerer

A Sorcerer that has been upgraded to a Master Sorcerer may use a second psychic power each

turn, for a total of two powers each turn.

Wargear

Force Weapon

See the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.

Warp Talisman

Any enemy pskyer within 36 of a Warp Talisman suffers a -1 penalty to its Leadership when

attempting use a psychic power. If the enemy psyker is within 18 of the Warp Talisman, this

penalty increases to a -2.

If an enemy is within range of multiple Warp Talismans, the effects are cumulative up to a

maximum of a -3 penalty.

Warp Focus

All of the sorcerers psychic shooting attacks count as twin-linked.

Chaos Psychic Powers

A Chaos Sorcerer has two psychic powers; an Aspiring Sorcerer and a Daemon Prince with the

Psyker upgrade have a single psychic power (chosen when the army is picked). A model may

use one power per player turn, with the exception of a Sorcerer that has been upgraded to a

Master Sorcerer, in which case he can use up to two psychic powers each turn. All Chaos

psychic powers are used following the rules given in the main Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.

Doombolt

The sorcerer blasts the enemy with a succession of bolts made of raw Chaos energy.

This power is a psychic shooting attack and has the following profile:


18 4 3 Assault 6

Warptime

The sorcerer surrounds himself with a dimensional instability, which warps the passage of time

and grants him the opportunity to place his attacks with supernatural precision.

This power is used at the start of any players turn. If successful, the Sorcerer may re-roll all

rolls to hit and rolls to wound for the duration of that players turn.

Gift of Chaos

The sorcerer unleashes a whirling flash of Chaos energy, which envelopes the target and rapidly

mutates them. As the power of Chaos flows through the target, the unfortunate victims bones

writhe, its flesh distorts and agonizing mutations tear the enemy apart.

This power is used at the start of the Chaos players turn. The sorcerer may by in close combat

at the time, as may the target. If successful and the target is found to be within 6 of the sorcerer,

the target must make a Toughness test. If it fails, it is removed as a casualty. Use the models

base toughness and a roll of 6 is always a failure, regardless of Toughness. Models without a

Toughness characteristic cannot by affected.

If the player has a model available, he may replace the slain victim with a Lesser Chaos Spawn.

The spawn is immediately under the Chaos players control. A Lesser Chaos Spawn is treated as

an individual unit and is always ignored for the purposes of any and all mission objectives. If the

victim was in base contact with friendly models, they are now engaged in combat with the

spawn, though it doesnt count as charging.

Wind of Chaos

The sorcerer unleashes a torrent of Chaos energy, which engulfs his foes and sears flesh from

bones and blasts through even the thickest armor.



Template X* 2 Assault 1

*Wind of Chaos always wounds on a 4+, regardless of the targets Toughness. Vehicles struck

suffer a Glancing hit on a 4+.

Chaos Gate

Summoning forth the power of Chaos, the sorcerer blurs the line between the immaterium and

reality, making it easier for his allies to arrive from the Warp.

This power is used at the start of the Chaos players turn and the Sorcerer may not use this power

in the same turn that he arrives from Reserves. For the duration of the Chaos players turn, any

models in Terminator armor, Obliterators, or Lesser Daemons that wish to teleport onto the

battlefield via the Deep Strike rule and choose to do so within 18 of the sorcerer wont scatter.

Note that Lesser Daemons may be Summoned within the area exactly as if the power were an

Icon of Chaos.

Shield of the Empyrean

The sorcerer raises his hand on high, and swirling torrent of warp energy surrounds him and his

allies.

This power is used at the start of the sorcerers Movement phase. The sorcerer and any unit he is

with receive a 6+ invulnerable save until the end of the following player turn. If a model already

has an invulnerable save from another source, this save is improved by 1 instead, to a maximum

of 2+.

Eternal Hatred

Calling forth his and his allies disdain for the weak, the sorcerer infuses them with a warp-

spawned hate.

This power is used at the start of the sorcerers Movement phase. The sorcerer and any unit he

is with gain the Rage and Preferred Enemy universal special rules for the duration of the Chaos

players turn.

Chains of Torment

Balefire burns in the sorcerers eyes as barbed, writhing chains erupt from the ground around

his enemies, binding them where they stand.



36 6 5 Assault 1, blast, pinning

A unit forced to take a Pinning test suffers a -1 penalty to their Leadership test.

Lash of Submission (Slaanesh only)

A glowing whip of immaterial energy snakes out from the sorcerers hand and lashes across the

battlefield. Those caught within its ethereal barbs are momentarily in thrall to the sorcerers

will.



24 n/a n/a Assault 1

If the target is hit, no damage is done. Instead, the target is moved 2D6 by the Chaos player.

This moved is not slowed by difficult terrain, but dangerous terrain tests are taken as normal.

Victims may not be moved off the table, into impassable terrain, or within 1 of enemy models.

After this, the target must take a Pinning test.

Vehicles are unaffected by this power.

Nurgles Rot (Nurgle only)

Gurgling praise to Grandfather Nurgle, the sorcerer belches forth a disgusting miasma of

disease.



n/a 3 - Assault 1, Poisoned (4+)

All enemy models within 6 of the sorcerer are hit automatically. The sorcerer may be in close

combat at the time, as may the targets.

Bolt of Change (Tzeentch only)

The sorcerer hurls a ball of roiling energy, formed of raw Chaos, which causes rapid mutation,

tearing the target apart.



36 8 1 Heavy 1, Melta

Twisting Path (Tzeentch Only)

Calling upon the Changer of Ways, the sorcerer discerns the path of his enemies and redirects

their fate toward their own demise.

This power is used at the start of the Chaos players turn. Select one enemy unit within 24 of

the sorcerer. If the psychic test is successful, the target must re-roll any successful armor saves

and/or cover saves for the duration of the Chaos players turn.

Greater Daemon of Chaos

Special Rules

Fearless

Blood Sacrifice

A Greater Daemon of Chaos always begins the game in Reserve. On the turn in which it

becomes available, the Greater Daemon possesses the body of an Independent or Upgrade

Character in the Chaos Marine army. The controlling player chooses any suitable model in his

own army and removes it from play, replacing it with the Greater Daemon model.

If there are no suitable models on the table at the time the Greater Daemon becomes available, it

cannot enter the battle and is destroyed. Models that have arrived from Reserve in the same turn

cannot be possessed.

If the model that is possessed is inside a transport, the possessed model is killed and the Greater

Daemon is deployed anywhere within 2 of one of the vehicles access points. If the possessed

model was engaged in close combat, the Greater Daemon is placed as close as possible to the

spot it occupied, but at least 1 away from any enemy models.

Once deployed, the Greater Daemon cannot do anything in that turns Movement phase, but may

otherwise act normally (including charging in the Assault phase).

Chaos Marine Chosen

The ranks of the Traitor Legions are filled with brutal and skilled warriors. Amongst the most

powerful of these are the Chosen. Veterans of a thousand wars, they are masters of combat.

They are amongst a Lords most trusted and devoted followers, often acting as his personal

guard.

Special Rules

Fearless

Psyker (Aspiring Sorcerer only)

An Aspiring Sorcerer is a psyker. He may choose any one psychic power from those available to


Wargear

Banner of the Black Legion

Carried by the most favored of the legions warriors, this ancient banner bears the sigils and

heraldry of the entire legion. For the Black Legion, it is a symbol of both their glorious past and

their quest to overcome their shame. With grim pride, the former Sons of Horus ever fight to

defend their dark honor and martial supremacy.

The Banner of the Black Legion functions as an icon of chaos. In addition, all models in the

same unit as the Banner of the Black Legion gain the Counter Attack universal special rule

whilst the Banner Bearer is still alive.

Chaos Terminators

Special Rules

Executioners Strike

Wargear

Chaos Marauders

Marauders form the vanguard of the Chaos Marine armies, moving ahead of the main force to

from bulk of the army for extended periods of time, they often have access to the choicest of

weapons.

Special Rules

addition, the Dreadnought may not fire in that turns shooting phase. This rule is ignored if the

Dreadnought is Immobilized.

Fire Frenzy

In the Shooting phase, a Chaos Dreadnought may fire any of its Heavy weapons twice (doubling

its rate of fire). After firing and for each weapon it does this with, it suffers an automatic hit to

its side armor at the Strength and AP of the weapon fired. Weapons with a Strength of 5 or

lower will inflicting a glancing hit a roll of 6, but are considered to be AP -.

Wargear

Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon

A dreadnought close combat weapon is a power weapon and doubles the Dreadnoughts Strength

in close combat (to a maximum of 10).

Chaos Hammer

During the Horus Heresy, Dreadnoughts were often used as test beds for weapon systems

intended for Terminator units. One example of this is the Chaos Hammer, a massive powered

hammer used to smash asunder armor and fortifications. This weapon eventually became the

Thunder Hammer, but still sees use by the Traitor Legions on their war machines.

A chaos hammer counts as a dreadnought close combat weapon. In addition, all models that

suffer an unsaved wound from a chaos hammer and are not killed will be knocked reeling,

reducing their Initiative to a value of 1 until the end of the next players turn. Against vehicles

with no Initiative value, whenever a chaos hammer inflicts any damage result, it also inflicts a

Crew Shaken result.

Power Scourge

A power scourge is composed of a number of lashing arms or tendrils covered in razor sharp

barbs and blades.

A power scourge is a power weapon that grants +2 Attacks to the Dreadnought in close combat.

A Dreadnougth armed with two power scourges may re-roll failed to hit rolls in close combat.

A Dreadnought armed with both a power scourge and a dreadnought close combat weapon may

not use both weapons in the same turn, as both are considered special weapons.

Lesser Daemons of Chaos

Special Rules

Fearless

Summoned

Units of Lesser Daemons always start the game in Reserve, even in missions that do not

normally allow the Reserves rule to be used. When a Lesser Daemon unit becomes available

from Reserves, they are deployed via the Deep Strike rule, except that the first model must be

placed within 6 of an Icon of Chaos. If there are no icons on the table at the time the summoned

unit becomes available, the unit cannot enter the battle and is destroyed. Note that the icon must

already be on the table at the start of the turn for it to be used.

Once deployed, the unit cannot do anything else in that turns Movement phase, but after that

they are free to act as normal, including launching an assault in the Assault phase.

Chaos Raptors

Special Rules

Fearsome Visage

After millennia within the Eye of Terror and a lifetime of war, the baroque armor worn by Chaos

Raptors is warped into terrifying images of shock and awe, further amplifying the baleful war

cries of these merciless predators.

Any enemy unit that loses a close combat to one or more units of of Raptors suffers a -1 penalty

to their Morale check, as though they had suffered one more wound than they would have

otherwise.

Chaos Spawn

Special Rules

Fearless, Rending, Fleet

Rhinos are exceptionally resilient vehicles and can often be repaired by their crew in the heat of

battle. If a Rhino is immobilized for any reason, then in subsequent turns the crew can attempt a

temporary repair instead of the vehicle shooting. Roll a D6 in the Shooting phase, and on a 6 the

vehicle is no longer immobilized.

shrapnel at the enemy as the troops inside charge out. Any unit charging into close combat on

the same turn as it disembarks from a Slaughterer counts as having frag grenades.

Wargear

Marks of Chaos

A model bearing a mark of Chaos has been claimed by one of the Four Greater Powers of Chaos,

and is granted special powers and gifts by their patron. Certain wargear items and psychic

powers are granted to servants of a particular Chaos god. These are noted both here and in the

army list later. For example, the Bloodfeeder is a gift of Khorne, and would be noted as:

Bloodfeeder (Khorne only).

Only models with the corresponding Mark of Chaos may select these items/powers.

Mark of Khorne

Models with the Mark of Khorne gain +1 Attack.

Mark of Tzeentch

Models with the Mark of Tzeentch gain a +1 to their Invulnerable save (to a maximum of 2+). If

given to a model that does not normally have an Invulnerable save, this Mark confers an

Invulnerable save of 5+. In addition, a psyker given this mark may re-roll one failed psychic test

per turn.

Mark of Nurgle

Models with the Mark of Nurgle gain +1 Toughness. This bonus does not affect the models

A chainfist is treated exactly as a power fist, but rolls 2D6 for its armor penetration value. See

the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook for details.

Chainaxes and Claws

Chaos Marines utilize an array of close combat weapons, though the deadly chainaxes and

chainswords are the favored weapons of the Traitor Legions. Equally deadly are the claws and

warpforged weapons of their daemonic allies.

Chainaxes and claws are close combat weapons, as described in the Assault Phase chapter of the

Warhammmer 40,000 rulebook. Note that is perfectly permissible to represent this with

chainswords or other close combat weapons, as Chaos Marines use all manner of weapons.

Combi-weapon

A Chaos Marine armed with a combi-weapon (combi-meltagun, combi-plasma gun, or combi-

flamer) can choose to fire either the bolter, or the secondary weapon, each with the profile listed

elsewhere in this section. The bolter can be fired every turn, but the secondary weapon can only

be fired once per battle (a combi-plasma gun can Rapid Fire). You cannot fire both weapons in

Power Fist

A power fist counts as a power weapon, and also doubles the users Strength (up to a maximum

of 10) in the Assault phase. Attacks with a power fist are always delivered at Initiative 1 (ignore

Initiative bonuses from special rules, wargear, etc.). See the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook for

details.

Power Mace

The precursor to the modern thunder hammer, the power mace saw wide use during the Great

Crusade and later the Horus Heresy. When a mace strikes true, it can unleash a powerful burst

of energy, though it is much more limited than its contemporary counterpart.

A power mace counts as a power weapon. In addition, all models that suffer an unsaved wound

from it and are not killed must make an immediate Toughness test or suffer an additional wound

normal saves apply. Note that only one Toughness test is taken per Assault phase, regardless

of how many wounds are inflicted by the power mace.

Power Weapon

Models wounded in close combat by the attacks of a model armed with a power weapon are not

allowed armor saves.

Reaper Autocannon


36 7 4 Heavy 3

Sonic Blaster


Warp Blade

Infused with the power of the Warp, a warp blade contains the bound essence of a lesser

daemon. Though weaker than a true daemon weapon, they are more easily controlled.

A warp blade is a power weapon that grants the wielder an additional D3 Attacks in an assault.

Because of its size, a warp blade requires two hands to use, so the wielder may not claim the

bonus for a second close combat weapon.

Daemon Weapons

A Daemon Weapon is a powerful symbol of the might of Chaos and a devastating weapon in the

hands of a champion of the Dark Gods. Such power comes at a price, however.

At the start of the Chaos players turn, roll a D6 for each daemon weapon currently on the table.

On a roll of 1, the daemon within has rebelled and attacks the wielder. The model suffers an

immediate Strength 6, AP 1 hit.

Darkblade

This blade may take the form of a wicked scimitar, great broadsword, or simply an axe or mace.

A darkblade is a power weapon. In addition, the wielder attacks with +2 Strength in close

combat.

Dreadaxe

Taking the form of a monstrous axe, greatsword, or pick, this is no armor or shield that can

protect against its bite.

A dreadaxe is a power weapon. Because of its size, it must be wielded in two hands so the

bearer cannot gain an additional attack for having a second close combat weapon. In addition,

attacks from a dreadaxe bypass Invulnerable saves of any kind. In the Assault phase, the wielder

may not benefit from any Invulnerable save he may have, regardless of its source.

Ether Lance

Appearing as a great lance or grotesque cannon, this frightening weapon opens a hole into the

Warp itself, swallowing up its enemies.

An ether lance is a power weapon. Because of its size, it must be wielded in two hands so the

bearer cannot gain an additional attack for having a second close combat weapon. In addition, it

may be fired in the Shooting phase with the following profile:


18 5 2 Assault 1, Blast

Searchlight

Searchlights are used when the night fighting rule is in effect. If a vehicle has a searchlight it

must still use the night fighting rules to pick a target but, having acquired a target, will illuminate

it with the searchlight. For the rest of the Shooting phase, any other unit that fires at the

illuminated unit does not use the night fighting rule. However, a vehicle that uses a searchlight

can be targeted during the following enemy turn, as if the night fighting rules were not in effect,

as the enemy can see the searchlight.

Smoke Launchers

See the Vehicle section of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook for details.

Parasitic Possession

The vehicle is possessed by a particularly cowardly daemonic entity, who only grants its aid

when its own since of self-preservation kicks in. Only then does it work to repair and maintain

the vehicle it resides in.

Roll a D6 at the start of the Chaos players Shooting phase for each damaged vehicle with this

upgrade. If the result is 5 or more, then either a Weapon Destroyed result or Immobilized result

(owning players choice) will be repaired. If a Weapon Destroyed result is repaired, that weapon

can be fired in the following Shooting phase.

Design Notes

HQ

Abaddon

Changed to be more like earlier versions, where his weapons were used separately. Drachnyen

is no longer a Daemon weapon for fluff, it is, but Abaddon is smart enough to use it in

moderation and control the daemon.

Morded

New SC. Designed to be a bodyguard for Abaddon. I very much like the idea of Upgrade

characters, and hope to include at least one in each of my Traitor codexes.

Daemon Prince

No change to stats. +10 pt increase.

New weapon: Kai gun updated version of 3rd ed daemon weapon.

Has many more options, including the option of carrying a ranged, heavy weapon. I did not see

why a Chaos Marine would abandon his guns, and gives options for non-psykers in Shooting

phase.

Cost of wings increased to 40 pts, based on the points for Winged Hive Tyrant.

This unit is a no-brainer in the current codex, and is very powerful. Didnt want to nerf, but

decided to increase some costs a bit.

Chaos Lord

Mostly unchanged, more options for wargear. Unlocks Chosen units, hopefully making him a

more attractive choice.

Chaos Champion

New unit, based on early 2 wound characters (Chaos Lieutenant and Mighty Champion). Stats

comparable to Wolf Guard Battle Leader. Has most of the same options as Lord, except for

Daemonic weapons and steeds.

May take 2 in one slot, as I felt he would not be taken otherwise (except in smaller games).

Sorcerer

Stats in line with SM Librarian. May use one power per turn, but can upgrade to use 2 per turn.

I originally had a Sorcerer Lord/Grand Sorcerer similar to the current Sorcerer also, but decided

to save this for Thousand Sons codex.

Psychic Powers

As is the trend, psykers do not buy their powers points are built into the model. Powers that

were around 25-30 points are largely unchanged, other powers were improved to be in line
