1 Release the Krakens Release the Krakens is an Iron Hands Supplement that has a series of rules (presented below) that must be used in addition to the material found in Codex: Space Marines. When using these rules, you may only use the Iron Hands Chapter Tactics and cannot use Relics from the armoury. Suspicious of Strangers: The Krakens of Shada are a very suspicious chapter, as they have technology that deviates from the STCs. They do not want the other chapters to find out, nor do they wish heir technology to be stolen by outsiders, as such they refuce to work with anyone else unless absolutely necessary. They make it their mission to reclaim the unique and modified gear of their Battle Brothers! An Army containing The Krakens of Shada may not* have detachments from any other army. Instead, you may take additional detachments of Krakens of Shada as an Allied Detachment even though you would normally not be allowed to. Krakens of Shada lose access to Legion of the Damned. *Should a mission scenario or other bizarre thing happen to force you to ally with a non-krakens of Shada Detachment, treat them as described on the Allies Matrix from the Warhammer: 40,000 rulebook with the following exceptions: - If they are battle brothers, you may not embark upon their vehicles, or join their units, and vice versa. There can only be one: If Gadreel is in your army, he must be your warlord. Never back down from a fight: Your Warlord must always issue and accept a challenge! Repair protocols initiated: A dreadnought with the Venerable special rule can repair an immobilised result instead of a Hull Point when they roll a 6 or more for their IWND roll. Additionally, if a Dreadnought with the venerable special rule does not move, run, shoot, or assault in its own turn, add 1 to its IWND roll (this does not apply if it immobilised) In Death I Serve: A single Dreadnought, Venerable Dreadnought or Ironclad Dreadnought may be taken as a Troops selection instead of Elites per detachment. The detachment must cost at least 750 points, including the cost of the Dreadnought chosen as a Troops Choice. Add the following entry to all Non-HQ and non-vehicle units: All models in this unit may purchase Enhanced Cybernetics... 5pts/model Add the following entry to the Tactical Marines Replace the third bullet point with the following: If the squad numbers 10 models, one Space Marine may take one item from either the Special Weapons or Heavy Weapon. A different Space Marine may also take a weapon, but it must be the same weapon as the first. Add the following entries to the appropriate Dreadnoughts May improve their WS by 1 and gains the Venerable rule... 20pts May improve their rear armour by pts Add the following entry to the Dreadnought May improve all armour facings by pts Add the following entry to all vehicles: Improve It Will Not Die rolls by pts

6 Helios' Vanguard Detachment Detachments and Formations Compulsory: Command Traits 1 HQ - Ideal Mission Commander: Your Warlord may re-roll his Warlord 1 Troop trait from this supplement 1 Elite - Relics of the Heresy: All non-vehicle models from a Helios' Vanguard detachment reduce the strength of all opponent's ranged Optional: attacks that hit them by 1 (excluding psychic powers).* 2 HQs 1 Troop Restrictions: All models must have the Iron Hands Chapter Tactics 3 Elites (excluding Vehicles), and must be from the Faction: Space Marines. 1 Heavy Support You may only include entries from the unmodified Codex: Space Marines and this supplement. * For mixed units, Relics of the Heresy is resolved using the majority. E.g a unit with 3 models from a CAD, 2 from the My Brother's Keeper formation and 5 from Helios' Vanguard detachment would NOT benefit from Relics of the Heresy as half or more of the models in the unit are not from the Helios' Vanguard detachment. Required: Abel Cain My Brother's Keeper (275pts) Restrictions: This formation may not be your Primary Detachment. My Brother's Keeper: If both Abel and Cain are on the table, you generate one additional Warp Charge. If both Cain and Abel are in the same unit, they add 1 to their dice rolls when they cast powers and attempt to Deny the Witch. Mark of Cain: If Abel is slain, the Mark of Cain activates and gives Cain a 3+ invulnerable save and +1 to his IWND rolls. If Cain dies through means other than Instant Death and/or Removed from Play once the mark is active, the enemy is awarded 2 additional Victory Points. (Dying at the same initiative step, or from the same unit, still triggers the Mark of Cain, providing Abel dies "first") Wounded Lamb: When Abel has 2 or less wounds, Abel and his unit can no longer run or turbo-boost. When Abel has 1 wound, he and his unit can only move 6" in the movement phase and loses the ability to fire overwatch. These effects only apply while Cain is in the unit. If cain is not present, they are only applied to Abel. Units leaving Abel may move their normal distance.

7 Technomancy Primaris: Mechanical Flare Warp Charge 1 Mechanical Flare is a Nova with the following profile: Range S AP Type 9" 3 - Assault 3D6, Blind 1 The Flesh is Weak Warp Charge 1 The Flesh Is Weak is a blessing that targets the Psyker and his unit. Whilst the power is in effect, all models in the target unit have +1 Toughness. 2 Mechanical Perseverance Warp Charge 1 Mechanical Perseverance is a blessing that targets the Psyker. Whilst in effect, the Psyker and his unit pass their It Will Not Die rolls on a 4+ instead of a 5+, however all models in the Psyker's unit must roll a D6: on the result of a 1, that model takes a wound with no Armour or Cover saves allowed. 3 Vehicle Sabotage Warp Charge 1 Vehicle Sabotage is a Malediction that targets a single enemy vehicle (or vehicle squadron) within 12" of the Psyker. While this power is in effect, all armour facings on the vehicle are reduced by 1 for the Psyker and his unit while making shooting attacks and using Psychic abilities. 4 Kraken's Shield Warp Charge 1 Kraken's Shield is a blessing that targets a friendly Krakens ofshada unit within 6". While in effect, the target unit may not charge, cannot run, turbo boost, move flat out, and fires at -2 Ballistic Skill*, and gains an armour value 9 + D3 shield with 2HP that must be destroyed before the unit inside may be targeted*. * To a minimum of 1, cannot be modified with abilities that let you fire at full ballistic skill, including (but not limited to) Power of the Machine Spirit. May be modified by other effects that add or minus Ballistic Skill. In case of multiple minus modifiers, it may not be reduced below Ballistic Skill 1.) * You may destroy the shield and then fire at the unit inside with the same unit (blasts only cause 1 hit. Choose your weapon order wisely). This shield is unaffected by the Graviton Special Rule as it is not a vehicle, may not make FNP rolls or saves of any kind. You do not -1 strength from the unit firing at the shield. 5 Vehicle Maintenance Warp Charge 2 Vehicle Maintenance is a blessing that targets a friendly Krakens of Shada vehicle within 12".
