Fortifications

[Doghouse]

I've had a hunt around but can't seem to find this one. How do things like the Wall of Martyrs Imperial Bunker or Bastion work now? Do they have their own set rules or is it you give them terrain features?

 

I noticed they have them listed on the Power Levels 2020 FAQ with things like the Fortress of Redemption but I'm not sure how they work now.

 

 I know it's probably something obvious I am missing but any help appreciated. :)

They're taken like units now. They have the fortification unit type. Fortification detachments are the only detachment with that type of unit slot. The detachment is effectively free if the fortification shares a faction keyword with the army's warlord. The app has their datasheets listed under Chapter Approved 2019. Wall of Martyrs is called Imperial Defence Line. It has options to either contain 2 trenches and 4 ends or 3 defense emplacements and 2 end sections.

Do they have keywords?

Yep. The faction keywords tend to be the broad ones, like Chaos or Imperium or Unaligned. Then there's the other keywords that seem to connect fortifications from the same kit. Imperial Defense Line has the Wall of Martyrs keyword; this then relates to what other fortification models it can be set up in end-to-end contact with; like the Imperial Bunker (which also has the Wall of Martyrs keyword).
