Blood Angels

Death Company

[Content from Firepower #2 page 7.]

[Official rules]

The Blood Angels Chapter have a mysterious genetic flaw. The death of their Primarch, Sanguinius, at the hands of Horus has left an eternal, indelible mark upon their souls. On the eve of a battle a Blood Angels trooper may be affected by the Black Rage, an all-consuming hatred of his enemies that turns him into a savage killer, able to withstand wounds that would normally fell even a mighty Space Marine. Those afflicted by the curse are assembled into a single company, led by a Chaplain. This is the Death Company.

You can include up to one Death Company detachment in your army if you wish.

Blood Angels: Death Company detachment

Command

You must choose a Chaplain to lead the detachment.

One Blood Angels Chaplain: 51 points

Consists of 1 Space Marine unit (Hero)

Mount in a Rhino*: +7 points
Mount in a Razorback*: +15 points
Mount in a Land Raider*:+45 points
Upgrade to jump packs (Hero, Jump Packs): Free
(* Choose one upgrade only)

Up to one Space Marine Librarian: 35 points

Consists of 1 Space Marine unit ( Psyker, Hero)

Mount in a Rhino*: + 7 points
Mount in a Razorback*: +15 points
Mount in a Land Raider*: +45 points

Blood Angels Death Company squad: 20 points

Consists of 1 Space Marine unit (Save, Assault, Rampage)

Mount in a Rhino: +7 points
Upgrade to jump packs (Jump Packs): +2 points

Notes: If a Death Company detachment consists only of infantry units it may be deployed using drop pods (see Drop pods). They may always deploy in drop pods, regardless of the scenario being played.

If the original HQ is eliminated the next unit in the chain of command below becomes the new HQ. If the Death Company have no HQ then they automatically go onto Assault orders, rather than being out of command as normal.

Chaplain > Librarian > Any other unit.

Dark Angels

Ravenwing

[Content from Firepower #2 page 9.]

[Official rules]

The 2^nd Company of the Dark Angels Chapter is known as the Ravenwing and is essentially a reconnaissance company. It is made up of Land Speeders and Bike squadrons. Detachments from its ranks are used in a scouting or fast attack role, where speed is more important than armour or raw firepower. The riders and pilots of the Ravenwing are extremely skilled, and the efficiency with which they handle their machines enables them to dodge incoming shots, maximise cover and make it very difficult for the enemy to target them.

To represent this lessened vulnerability, the obvious choice would be to increase the Armour value of the troops involved. However, when a rider or driver is concentrating on enemy fire, their accuracy will obviously be hampered somewhat. Already there was a solution to this though, from the rules for troops on Assault orders. Assaulting troops are dedicating themselves to closing with the enemy, so their Firepower is halved. This seemed a reasonable limiting factor — the Ravenwing are concentrating on making themselves difficult targets so the same penalty doesn't seem unreasonable.

Because of this limiting factor, the Ravenwing's special ability [Ravenwing] shouldn't really cost them any points at all. After all they are sacrificing one thing to gain another. However, the very fact that they have this skill gives them a greater deal of flexibility and obviously makes them proportionately better in their preferred situation (racing around near the enemy) so some points increase would be needed (nothing comes free!). A straightforward addition of 2 points to all the troops with this skill seemed very reasonable, putting it into a similar area to the Jump Packs special ability which generally costs around 2 points per unit too.

You can include as many Ravenwing detachments in your army as you wish. However, you should note that the Ravenwing is just a single company and can muster a maximum of 50 units (split as you wish). This limit is only possible if the entirety of the Ravenwing is present on one battlefield (a rare occurrence indeed!).

Deathwing

[Content from Firepower #2 page 14.]

[Official rules]

You may include as many Deathwing detachments in your army as you wish.

No matter how many Deathwing detachments you have there can only be 1 Master of the Deathwing. Each detachment, however, is allowed to take a Librarian. If you do have other Deathwing detachments just follow the chain of command to see who is in control of each detachment. [See also Deathwing]

White Scars

[Content from Firepower #2 page 10 to 11.]

[Official rules]

The White Scars' Primarch, Jaghatai Khan, was raised on a primitive planet inhabited by tribes of nomadic warriors. His superior physical abilities and strategic genius allowed him to weld together a coalition of tribesmen to fight against the growing power of a Chaos cult that was spreading through the east of the major continent. In a final on the Lon-Suen plains, Jaghatai led fifteen thousand horsemen in a gallant charge against the crude gunpoweder cannons of the Chaos cultists. Despite horrendous losses the charge smashed the enemy. The fierce Mathuli tribesmen cut down the cultists as they tried to flee, butchering every last one of them. In the following decade Jaghatai Khan went on to conquer much of the planet, before the Emperor arrived and, eventually, the Primarch was welcomed back into the Imperium. When the White Scars were founded it was from the fiercely proud Mathuli that they drew their first recruits.

The White Scars are famous for launching lightning fast hit-and-run attacks against their enemy — they are masters of lightning warfare. There were a few possibilities available to represent this, such as allowing a second move in the Assault phase when on special orders, or allowing them to double their Speed at a cost of firepower. However, I thought that this didn't capture the character of the White Scars, since really the detachment should get involved in a close quarter fight at some time (ie a firefight or assault). The Hit and Run special rule [Hit and Run] captures the feel of these rapid strikes and nicely complements the mobile White Scars detachments. Like the Ravenwing, this enables White Scars to excel at particular types of attacks, but it is useful rather than powerful.

An army of the Imperium may include as many White Scars detachments as you wish. White Scars do not have any Armour detachments.

Space Wolves

[Content from Firepower #2 page 12 to 13.]

[Official rules]

Space Wolves are renowned for their ferocity and skill in close combat. Even the heavy weapon squads of the Long Fangs are fearsome opponents in the thick of close quarter fighting. Rather than having ten standard Companies, the Space Wolves have twelve Great Companies, each of which comprises Long Fangs heavy weapon squads, Grey Hunters and Blood Claws. Each Great Company is a self-contained fighting organisation, with its own transports, armoured vehicles and support.

The Space Wolves are excellent fighters in close combat and the best way to represent this is by an increase to their Assault value. First of all I considered giving everybody the Assault special rule, but decided against this for two reasons. Firstly, the Assault rules not only increases a unit's Assault value, but also reduces their Range to 15cmMoot point since the rule was updated with errata. For certain troops, most notably heavy weapon-armed Long Fangs, this seemed inappropriate. Secondly, if everybody had the Assault specialist ability, how would you differentiate the dedicated assault troops of the Blood Claws squad? In the end it seemed reasonable to create the new Space Wolves special rule, just like the Ravenwing rule.

An Army of the Imperium may include as many Space Wolves detachments as you wish. Space Wolves Armour detachments are chosen from the normal Space Marine Armour detachment list (note that Space Wolves tanks do not benefit from the Space Wolves special rule [Space Wolves]).
