“              Demons run when Space Marines go to war

                Nightwill fall and drown out the sun

                Friendshipdies and brothers lie

                Lightwill fall and the dark will rise

                Thebattle’s won, but brothers lost

                Whenthe Space Marines go to war....                       “

Grand Strategy: At the start of the game, before forces are
deployed, Sebastian devises a grand strategy for his forces to follow. You may
select 2 of the 3 listed special rules for the game.

 - Behind enemy lines: Sebastian knows
full well the carnage an attack on the enemies flank can wreak. D3 units
benefit from the outflank special rule. Instead of rolling normally however,
the units deploy from the opponents deployment zone on the turn they become
available. 

 - Surprise assault: Ahead of time
Sebastian has units infiltrate the battlefield and lie in wait for the perfect
time to strike a devastating blow to the enemy. D3 selected units are placed in
reserve. When they become available, place them anywhere within a piece of
terrain on the battlefield that is not in impassable terrain and more than 1”
away from an enemy model. These units may then act normally for the turn,
including assault.

 - Counter Strategy: At the beginning of
each of your turns, you may select an enemy unit to lose the benefit of one of
their universal special rules until
the beginning of your next turn.

 

Shrewd Tactician: Sebastian surmises the best method of
conducting war is to fight a foe that does not realise he is fighting.
Sebastian may attempt to steal the initiative on a 3+. Additionally after units
have been deployed but before the game begins, Sebastian may redeploy D3+1
units; This redeployment must adhere to the mission deployment rules.

 

Indomitable will: Sebastian makes his deny the witch roll on
a 2+, has the Eternal warrior special rule and re-rolls all unsuccessful character
tests. (ie Initiative and leadership tests).  

 

Supreme Commander: If Sebastian is selected he must be your
army’s warlord and has the following warlord trait:

Avatar of Faith: In addition to any faith points generated, Sebastian has one
Personal Faith point which he automatically generates at the beginning of the
turn and he may spend on any act of faith listed in this codex. This act of
faith does not require a test to use and is assumed to activate automatically.
