Imperial Fist Detachment from Vigilus Defiant

[Trevak Dal]

It really was, I made a chaos lord out of it, magnetized him so I could put a jump pack, weapon options, and also put him on a juggernaut or bike.

[Cryptix]

So, no further clarification for the "Indomitable" Warlord Trait in the latest FAQ. Not enough people cared to ask, or RAW is RAI.

How do you handle it in your games? Let your WL move and still generate cover in the following turn of your opponent?

[Diagramdude]

I think the wording "this turn" is quite clear and GW is distinct about the term "turn" versus "round." A battle round is composed of two turns. There are situations where moving your warlord in your own turn will remove the buff and you'll be susceptible to morale and sources of enemy fire during your own turn, like Overwatch. 

 

But in your opponent's shooting phase your warlord would not have moved in the movement phase of "this turn" and your units will get cover and fearless. 

 

Also, this is INCREDIBLE for Imperial Fists if true... https://imgur.com/a/D2taoC4

 

All ADEPTUS ASTARTES and HERETIC ASTARTES models gain this ability. Instead of the normal rules for Rapid Fire weapons, Rapid Fire bolt weapons used by models with this ability make double the number of attacks if any of the following apply: 

• The firing model's target is within half the weapon's maximum range
• The firing model remained stationary during its previous Movement phase.
• The firing model is a TERMINATOR, BIKER, ?????, CENTURION, or VEHICLE.

[Dosjetka]

There's no word between BIKER and CENTURION.

 

But yeah, looks very good for Imperial Fists! The Bolter Drill stratagem will see more use, for sure!

Agreed. However be careful whether it says "movement phase" or "his movement phase" as for example Dal'yth units get a free cover save if they didn't move in their movement phase so even if they are stationary during your opponents turn (as most units usually are d'uh) they still won't get the free cover save if they moved in their preceeding turn.

I've been messing around with combining Bolter Drill and the Indomitus Crusaders detachment's Rapid Fire strategem (if I just had +1 to hit somehow...). I'm very pleased by this change.

... Yeah, that'll do nicely. Be right back, I need to go figure out how I'll build a command Rhino.
