Horus Heresy Vol 1 Rumour Roundup.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Remorseless - Immune to Fear, auto-pass pinning checks
Sons of Barbarus - Re-roll failed Dangerous terrain for swamp, mud, and toxic sludge
Intractable - When making sweeping advance moves you -1 to distance

Chem Munitions - Any flame based weapon can upgrade to this at no points cost, they gain shred and gets hot!
All flame based weapons within the squad (or on the vehicle) upgrade to this if you take it

Power Scythes may be taken at the same points cost as a Power Fist, and be given to anyone who can normally take a Power Fist.

They have no restrictions other than not being able to take the other Legion specific units.

[Spikey McTorture]

Thanks a lot, and sorry to ask again, but do the death guard have a legion specific unit, and if they do what is it? You've been a really big help

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

No worries!

They're called Deathshroud Terminators, they're armed with Power Scythes and Hand Flamers (loaded with chem munitions)
90 points for 2 guys, may buy up to 8 more guys at 40 points each
They count as scoring units. They are always a bodyguard for Mortarion. (should Mortarion be present) They have 2 wounds each.

[Spikey McTorture]

Thanks, can't wait to get my hands on that book now

[CarlVictus]

Yes Spikey, how may I be of assistance?

Would you be able to post the Sons of Horus legion rules and/or Justaerin rules? Mostly just the Legion though.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Oh hell yeah! Spikey, it's worth EVERY penny I paid for it.

Mr Mystery did not pay for it, for he is a bad man.
He did however score more Resin crack, epic win!

Sure Carl, give me a moment.

That's awesome.

Do you pay points for the Rites of battle?

I heard there was 1 that swaps rhinos to Storm Eagles, another that swaps Rhinos to Drop Pods, etc.

What are they and do they cost anything?

Lemme know if im bugging you

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

It's fine man, that's why I'm a mod.

You do not pay any points, certain characters have fixed Rites of War, and Praetors get to choose one at the start of a battle (Chapter Master dudes)

There are 4 for your Praetor to choose from:
Orbital Assault
- You may take Drop Pods instead of Rhinos
- Terminators gain Deep Strike
- You must deploy via Deep Strike, any units that can't cannot be taken
- You cannot take a fortification

Armoured Spearhead
- Any units that can take a Rhino can take either a Land Raider Phobos, or a Land Raider Proteus
- Tank Shocks add an additional -1 Ld
- Units must deploy inside their dedicated transport
- Should all tanks be destroyed then the opponent gets an extra victory point (as per secondary objective)
- You may not take fortifications

Angel's Wrath
- Any model with a Jump Pack gains hit and run
- Any unit that can take a Rhino may take a Stormeagle
- Only units with Jump Infantry, Skimmer, Jetbike, or Infantry inside Skimmers or Flyers may be taken
- You may not take a Fortification

Pride of the Legion
- Terminators and Veterans are troops and must fill the compulsory troops selections
- Command Squad may take a Proteus or Phobos Land Raider
- Should all Veterans and Terminators be destroyed then the opponent gains a victory point
- You cannot take allies


Right, I'm going to bed, later hombres!
