Army Rules
Voice Of Command
If your Army Faction is ASTRA MILITARUM, OFFICER models with this ability can issue Orders. Each OFFICER's datasheet will specify how many Orders it can issue and which units are eligible to receive those Orders. Each time an OFFICER model issues an Order, select one of the Orders below, then select one eligible friendly unit within 6" of that OFFICER model to issue it to. OFFICER models can issue Orders in your Command phase and at the end of a phase in which they disembarked from a TRANSPORT or were set up on the battlefield. Until the start of your next Command phase, the unit you selected is affected by that Order. Unless otherwise stated, a unit can only be affected by one Order at a time (any Order subsequently issued to that unit replaces the current one). Orders cannot be issued to Battle-shocked units, and if a unit being affected by an Order becomes Battle-shocked, that Order ceases to affect that unit. MOVE! MOVE! MOVE! Add 3" to the Move characteristic of models in this unit. FIX BAYONETS! Improve the Weapon Skill characteristic of melee weapons equipped by models in this unit by 1. TAKE AIM! Improve the Ballistic Skill characteristic of ranged weapons equipped by models in this unit by 1. FIRST RANK, FIRE! SECOND RANK, FIRE! Improve the Attacks characteristic of Rapid Fire weapons equipped by models in this unit by 1. TAKE COVER! Improve the Save characteristic of models in this unit by 1 (this cannot improve a model’s Save to better than 3+). DUTY AND HONOUR! Improve the Leadership and Objective Control characteristics of models in this unit by 1.
Assigned Agents
If your army Faction is not AGENTS OF THE IMPERIUM, but every model in your army has the IMPERIUM keyword, you can include AGENTS OF THE IMPERIUM units in your army even if they do not have the Faction keyword you selected in the Select Army Faction step. In this case, the maximum number of AGENTS OF THE IMPERIUM units you can include in your army depends on the battle size, as shown below. Incursion: 1 RETINUE, 1 CHARACTER, 1 REQUISITIONED Strike Force: 2 RETINUE, 2 CHARACTER, 1 REQUISITIONED Onslaught: 3 RETINUE, 3 CHARACTER, 2 REQUISITIONED Note that you can include AGENTS OF THE IMPERIUM DEDICATED TRANSPORT units in such an army as normal, but each unit must start the battle with one or more units embarked within it, or it cannot be deployed for that battle and will count as having been destroyed during the first battle round.
