Codex: Deathworld Special Rules Ambush: Units with the Ambush rule can elect to start the game

hiding provided there is at least one piece of terrain large enough to accommodate the entire unit. (Be sure to determine terrain boundaries before the game begins). After both sides have deployed, write down what piece of terrain the ambushing unit is hiding in. When the unit becomes available from reserve, they must deploy so they are in the selected terrain, if any models cannot be placed inside this terrain due to impassible terrain or an enemy within 1", those models are destroyed. The Ambushing unit can shoot and assault normally in the same turn they are revealed. Deathworld Veterans: Units noted as having the Deathworld veterans Special rule, count as having the Move through cover and Infiltrate special rules. Catachan Knife: Many Deathworld veterans coat their knives in deadly toxins. In combat, a Catachan Knife counts as a poisoned (4+) close combat weapon that also has the rending ability. Canister grenade launchers: Some Deathworld units have access to Canister rounds used in grenade launchers. Once used by Adeptus Arbite law enforcement officers as a non-lethal riot control option, Deathworld veterans have replaced the tear gas in the canister chambers with very poisonous fungal spores from their homeworld. Canister Grenade launchers use the following profile. Canister Grenade launcher (poison) (krak) Range Str Ap 24" poisoned(4+) 6 24" 6 4 Type assault1/small blast assault1

Deathworld Officers: A Deathworld officer is elected by his men. He is often a renowned hunter or warrior, or the headman from a settlement from which the company was recruited. Discipline is maintained through respect rather than rank or fear. Deathworld veterans take pride in the fact that their officers share with them every danger and hardship. As a result Deathworld officers do not have a command radius but instead communicate through Vox-casters as Deathworld units are spread out from each other while fighting. A Deathworld officer may issue orders to units using his leadership value if the unit the officer is in and the ordered unit both contain vox-casters, even if he and the ordered unit are on complete opposite ends of the table. A unit the officer is attached to may re-roll an order if it fails to pass. Units receiving orders through a vox caster however, may not re-roll. Gung-Ho: Gung-Ho, is a special order that can be used by other deathworld commanders and platoon commanders. If the order is successfully issued the ordered unit immediately shoots t an enemy unit in range counting their rapid fire weapons at Range 12" Assault 1

for the intent of assaulting after shooting, note that plasma weapons still retain their Gets hot! rule. HQ - Deathworld Command squad- 45pts Ws Commander 5 Catachan Devil 4 Bodyguard 4 Deathworld Advisor 4 Bs 4 4 4 3 S 3 3 3 3 T 3 3 3 3 W 3 1 1 1 I 4 3 3 3 A 3 1 2 1 Ld 9 8 8 8 Sv 5+ 5+ 5+ 5+

Type: Infantry Wargear: Carapace armor, Ripper gun, Frag grenades. Special Rules: Deathworld veteran, Furious charge, Stubborn, Meat Shield, Last Stand.

Note That this only applies to ranged attacks. Last Stand: If Nork loses his last wound to an enemy in close combat, that enemy suffers D6 strength 6 hits as Nork refuses to go down without a fight.

Outsiders have a very difficult time gaining their trust, particularly commissars who come on as "All High and Mighty". Deathworld veterans are also very unsubtle in demonstrating their disapproval. Commissars suffer a much higher attrition rate than those assigned to more 'civilized' worlds. As a result, after deployment but before the battle begins, Roll a D6 for every Commissar in the army, If the Commissar is part of a unit in reserve or outflanking, roll after the unit is deployed. If a 1 is rolled the Commissar has met a very unfortunate 'accident' and cannot be used. If a Officer or Sergeant fails a leadership test, the comrades of the officer or sergeant, kill the commissar before he has a chance to summarily execute their leader. After the commissar is removed, the unit is assumed to of passed the leadership test and use the highest leadership value in the unit for the rest of the game.

Heavy Support - Booby Traps Toe Popper Spring mine Remote Charge Str 4 5 8 AP 5 4 2 type Small blast Large blast Heavy D3 pts cost 10 15 20

Notes: Access to booby traps may only be granted if the army includes at least one Deathworld patrol team or Devil squad. Once the requirements to access booby traps has been granted, 1-3 booby traps may be purchased as a single heavy support choice. Special Rules: What The!?: All traps ignore cover saves. any unit that suffers one or more wounds from a trap must test for pinning. Any unit with an armor value that sets off a trap resolves the hit against it's rear armor representing the trap affecting the weaker underside of the vehicle. Traps are set off when a unit rolls any doubles for moving through difficult terrain, units that have the move through cover ability may roll less dice for difficult terrain to lower their chances of setting off a trap. Vehicles set off traps when rolling a 1 for difficult terrain. If the vehicle has rough terrain modifications, the vehicle may still re - roll for immobilization but still affected by the trap. Set-up: Booby traps are set up the same way as ambushing units. Traps may only be placed on terrain features. Traps may be set up separately from each other or in the same square however if an enemy rolls doubles in a multiple trapped square, only 1 type of trap

goes off, determine by the roll of a D3. You may set-up booby traps and an ambush unit in the same piece of terrain. Remote charge: Normally used for demolition by Assault teams, Patrol teams repurposes these charges by attaching a basic remote detonation mechanism and strategically placing the charges before the battle, where they can do the most damage. During the controlling player's shooting phase. instead of making a normal shooting attack, the patrol team may detonate their remote charges. Any enemy units hit by a remote charge take D3 hits per charge, vehicles only suffer one hit, skimmers may only suffer glancing hits due to their ability to hover. Toe Poppers: These consist of a basic bolter round or shotgun shell, so that it's base rests on a sharp rock, nail or stick. The tip of the round rests just below the surface of the ground. As the enemy steps on the soft ground, their weight pushes the round back on the striker, setting it off right under their foot. Place the small blast marker over the unit that sets off the trap, there is no need to roll for scatter. skimmers may only suffer glancing hits. Spring Mine: Buried just below the surface of the ground, when the proximity detector senses movement, the mine jumps into the air several feet before detonating. Place the large blast marker over the triggering unit, Skimmers are not saved by their ability to hover and are affected normally.
