If you have a model which is unfinished, then we politely ask you to remove it from the table, as we are obliged to protect the experience of every attendant - we all want to play against fully painted armies, and this event is designed to give everyone the opportunity to do just that!

5 Victory is Vengeance Creating a Strike Force Heroes and Leaders The First Step in assembling a Strike Force is to select up to three models to lead the Strike Force. To do so you simply select up to three non-unique models from the Legiones Astartes, Taghmata and Crusade Imperialis army list or any Legion s supplementary list, up to a total value of 150 points. A model selected to lead the Strike Force must have the Character type,and may include unit sergeants and models with the Independent Character special rule. Once you have selected up to three models, designate one as the principal character, the Hero (That Model gains, Lessons of War, Consequences of failure and Battle leader see page 175 of HH Book 3 Extermination) and the others as Leaders (gaining the Tactical Insights and Battle Leader special rule) All Models may take any wargear listed in their Legion or unit list entry for the usual points cost. Al models not already assigned a legion specific version of the Legiones Astartes special rule should be assigned one (or at least identified as being from a specific Legion). Note it is perfectly acceptable to include representatives of multiple Legions within a single Strike Force, this may may even include members of Legions that historically were opposed to the side a Strike Force is representing. If there are any points left over after the hero and leaders have been selected, then divide the total number of leftover points by two (Rounding down the result) and add this to your Strike Force s Supply Points for the Event (300points). In addition to selecting your Heroes and their wargear, a Strike Force s Hero should also be assigned a single Role from the Strike Force Hero Roles list. Strike Force Hero Roles Paragon- Gain 1 Action Point At the end of each of the controlling player s Movement phases for each friendly unit which can draw line of sight to the hero and in which all the models are further from the enemy than this Hero (including his own unit as long as he is the closest model in the unit to the enemy). Slayer- Gain 1 Action Point for each enemy model removed as a casualty due to an attack made by this hero (this includes any models removed as part of a sweeping advance made by this Hero or his unit). Strategist- Gain 2 Action Points whenever this Hero or another friendly model or unit uses this Hero s Leadership value to pass a Morale check or Pinning test whilst within 6 of him ( See Battle Leader special rule). Marksman- Gain 1 Action Point for each successful To Hit Roll made for a Shooting attack. Martyr- Gain 1 Action Point for each hit inflicted on this hero. In addition, if this Hero is removed as a casualty, gain an additional 3 Action Points. Duellist- Gain 1 Action Point for each wound inflicted by this hero when fighting in close combat (but not including any enemy models removed as a part of a sweeping advance). Each of these Roles describes how given Hero acquires Action points during play. These Action points can be spent on heroes and Leaders during a game in order to gain bonuses to re-rolls, or to re-roll failed rolls.

6 Rank and File These troops may be selected from any unit entry in the Legiones Astartes, Taghmata and Crusade Imperialis army list or any Legion s supplementary lists with no restrictions on the number of Force Organisations choices made. Non Super Heavy vehicles may be chosen, but no model with the Character sub-type or Independent character special rule may be taken. When selecting troops, you do not have to select complete units9 and for the most part cannot, due to the restriction on models with the Character sub type). It is perfectly acceptable to select a single model from a given unit, and models may select any appropriate options listed in their unit entry. Note that restrictions in units where options may only be taken if the unit is composed of a certain number of models are not lifted due to the ability to select individual models. Dedicated Transports: These may be selected as individual models, do not need to be attached to a given squad, and may transport any friendly unit during play. In play, each model selected will be treated as an individual unit, though the option for them to temporarily form ad-hoc units of more than one model is included later in the tactical Strike rules. Points Costs for individual Space Marines: When spending points on troops for a Strike Force, use the cost for adding additional models to an existing unit or in the case of units that do not have this option, divide the total points cost by the number of models in the unit to find a cost per model. In all cases, Sergeants bought as Leaders cost 10 points more than a standard member of the squad. Some models in the Legiones Astartes Crusade Army list have the chosen special rule, allowing them to count as Characters type, purchasing them as Leaders, Heroes or Troops as desired. The rules presented above are the very basics you will need to build a Strike Force for this event. All of the information on Strike Forces and the charts and achievements you will need at the event can be found in The Horus Heresy Book Three Extermination available from Forgeworld.
