If your Arks of Omen Detachment is an ASTRA MILITARUM Detachment, you can include one ASTRA MILITARUM Patrol Detachment that only contains units with the MILITARUM TEMPESTUS keyword as an Allied Detachment. If your Arks of Omen Detachment is a TRAITORIS ASTARTES Detachment that does not include any units from the EMPEROR’S CHILDREN Legion, you can include one LEGIONES DAEMONICA Patrol Detachment as an Allied Detachment. Beanith: My best guess is the Angron book will contain the Faction-specific content and rules for Chaos Marines, Space Marines & Imperium; Vashtorr will cover Chaos Daemons, Admech and probably have the Necrons shoehorned in somehow. The 4th book is unnamed but ‘will be a distinctly xenos affair’, which I assume is code for it will be some horrific Xenos mashed burrito. It just looks like they are trying to make building armies easier and more open which we are here for! Gaining Command Points just by killing enemy units is awesome!

After you have added an Arks of Omen Detachment to your army, you can choose to add one Allied Detachment to your army - this must be either a Patrol Detachment or a Super-heavy Auxiliary Detachment. You can only include a maximum of one Allied Detachment in your army. The Command Cost of any such Detachment is always 0CP and its Command Benefits are always ‘None’.

There are a number of line-of-sight based changes in Boarding Actions; Witchfire powers can only affect visible units, and powers that affect the closest unit need a visible target. Most important is the change to charges: You can only charge a unit within line of sight, and likewise you need line of sight to Heroically Intervene.

Competitive Play

If a secondary objective is listed in one of the faction sections, it is a faction secondary objective and it can only be selected by a player if their Arks of Omen Detachment is a Detachment that matches the faction heading at the top of that list of secondary objectives. The final action is Operate Hatchway , which unsurprisingly covers what happens when you open or close a hatchway. This one is performed at the end of the Move units step of your Movement phase and completes at the start of your Shooting phase, allowing you to walk forward, open a door, then shoot or charge through it in a subsequent phase. This Detachment is incredibly flexible and will work for all factions, though there will be a couple of specific additional rules to it to allow for unusual armies like Drukhari and Dark Angels forces, that would previously have usually been made of multiple smaller detachments. If you select this objective, during the Resolve Pre-battle Abilities step of the mission, set up one additional objective marker in your opponent’s deployment zone, then your opponent must set up one additional objective marker in your deployment zone and one additional objective marker within 6" of the centre of the battlefield. These objective markers cannot be set up within 9" of each other, within 6" of a battlefield edge or within 3" of another objective marker. These Take Your Places objective markers represent the positions your HARLEQUINS must take up for their performance, but do not count as objective markers for any rules purposes other than for this secondary objective.
