Special Rules

The models in an Imperial Guard army use a number of special rules. Where those rules are uniqueto a particular troop type, they are detailed in that unit's bestiary entry. Any special rules that are not

explained in the unit's bestiary entry can be found in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook and Codex

Imperial Guard.

Unique Equipment

The army list shows all the standard and option wargear available to a particular model. You will

find some items of equipment are unique to particular characters or units, while others are used by

more than one unit. When an item is unique, it is detailed in the entry for its owning unit; otherwise

it is detailed in the wargear section.

Heavy Weapon Teams

Imperial Guard Heavy Weapon Teams are crewed by a team of two men/women. Normally

one crewman carries and fires the weapon while the other carries the ammunition.

The ammunition carrier may shoot any weapon he/she is armed with in the same shooting

phase that the heavy weapon is fired. In the case that the gunner is killed the ammunition

carrier will take his/her place.

Vehicle Squadrons

The Imperial Guard can field a number of vehicles in squadrons. These include, amongst other

things, Leman Russ Battle Tanks. Such units follow all the rules for the vehicle squadrons as

detailed in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.

Rigid Command Structure

The Imperial Guard is the primary fighting force of the Imperium, so numerous in size that even the

Departmento Munitorum cannot place a figure on the number of Guardsmen under arms at any one

time; the daily lists of new recruits and toll of casualties can run into the millions in a single day. It

would be infeasible trying to put any exact number on the strength of the Guard; however, it is

believed that there must be many billions of Imperial Guardsmen, divided into millions ofregiments. This absolute numeracy provides the Guard with its main power; their ability to deploy

in numbers that, eventually, result in victory. Attacking in seemingly endless influxes across battle-

zones, charging forth under the cover of massive barrages and delivering massed lasgun volleys, in

the Guard the individual Human soldier may appear a lost thing, almost forgotten. Yet the actions of

these anonymous soldiers daily decide the fate of worlds.

The Imperial Guard have the ability to alter the Force Organisation Chart swapping out certain

choices to gain others.

EG. They may have 3 HQ, 0 Elites, 6 Troops, 2 Fast Attack and 6 Heavy Support Slots or any mix

in between.

Orders

The ranks of the Imperial Guard are not trained to think independently or to use their initiative,

relying instead on their officers for guidance and direction. To this end, Imperial Guardsmen are

conditioned to obey orders without question or hesitation. Only by concentrating on their orders to

the exclusion of all else can a common trooper override thoughts of self-preservation and face thehorrors of the galaxy. A rigid chain of command exists from the commander of a battle group down

to the lowliest trooper.

A number of models in the codex Imperial Guard army have the ability to issue one or more orders

each turn. These models are known as officers. Each officer's entry will clearly state the number and

type of orders he can attempt to issue, as well as his command radius the maximum range of his

orders.

Orders must be issued at the start of the Shooting phase and in a strict order, representing the

Imperial Guard's chain of command. Officers in Company Command Squads must issue their orders

first. Once all Company Command Officers have issued their orders, officers in Platoon Commandsquads can attempt to issue their own orders.

An officer may attempt to issue orders provided that he is not locked in an assualt, embarked in a

transport vehicle (He may however issue orders to himself we inside a vehicle), falling back or gone

to ground. Orders must be issued before the officer and his Command Squad shoot or run. Issuing

orders (whether the order was successful or not) does not prevent an officer and his Command

Squad from shooting or running.

To issue an order the officer must declare which order he is attempting to use and select a single

friendly non-vehicle unit within his command radius to carry out the order. This can be the officer's

own squad. The chosen unit must then take a Leadership test to see if the order has been understood

and acted upon. Orders cannot be issued to squads that are embarked in a transport vehicle, or units

that have already run, made a shooting attack. Unless otherwise stated, orders cannot be issued to

units that are falling back or have gone to ground.

After the successful completion of an order a squad may then receive an additional order (if the

second test is passed). This however cannot be the same order or another that permits a second

round of shooting, moving or assault. This second order is merely used as support being it allows

you to go to ground, move move move or affix bayonets.

A company commander may select 4 of the following orders and has the ability to issue 2 orders aturn. A platoon commander may select 2 of the following orders and has the ability to issue 1 order

a turn. For the rest of the rule for orders, See codex Imperial Guard.


4/50

Affix Bayonets! As soon as they have fired, they must come to a recover; and then the

commanding officer will give the word, Affix Bayonets! Now March!upon which the

whole battalion advances briskly with a full step, the drummers beating the Grenadiers

March. When they have marched about 20 paces from the enemy, or as far as the

commanding officer shall think proper, he will give the word, Charge!

Upon which the officers and men in the front rank charge their bayonets, and continueadvancing briskly; taking great care not to run, nor break, either by closing too much, or

opening the files; but preserving their front even, and in exact order. The rear ranks must

continue recovered, taking particular care to keep up close. Upon which the drummers cease

beating, and they enter the fiery hell of close-combat

This order provides Furious Charge and Counter-Attack until the beginning of the Imperial

Guard owner's next turn.

Bring it Down! See Codex Imperial Guard

Fire on my Target! See Codex Imperial Guard

Fire and Advance/Retreat! A tactic which allows a unit to move forward or backward in

sections, while enjoying the benefit of covering fire by its own men. Infantry units do not

move as a solid mass, but divide into smaller groups each of which advances/retreats a short

distance in turn. While a group is stationary, it loads and fires there lasguns at the enemy,

harassing them and covering the advance/retreat of their moving fellows. Overall a unit

advances/retreats more slowly because of its repeated stops allowing its companies to fire,

though the constant, though limited, fire maintained against the enemy is compensation

enough.

If the order is successfully issued, the ordered unit immediately makes a Shooting attack.

When this has been resolved, the unit immediately moves D6 in a direction of your choice.

First Rank Fire, Second Rank Fire! See Codex Imperial Guard

Get Back in the Fight! See Codex Imperial Guard

Incoming! See Codex Imperial Guard

Move! Move! Move! See Codex Imperial Guard

Platoon Fire! Platoon Fire is away of dividing a unit into smaller groups that each fire,

reload and fire again in turn. The result is a rippling fire down a line formation and as the

last platoon fires its weapons, the first is ready to fire again. A unit can always give some

fire to the enemy at all times, even if this is less than a complete volley. When more then one

unit is involved all the troops in every first platoon fire, followed by the second and so on.

Creating several rippling barrages down the line.

If the order is successfully issued, the ordered unit may now ignore intervening models and

squads of the same platoon when firing and for the purpose of working out the enemies

cover save.

Doctrines

Although there is a great deal of standardisation within the Imperial Guard there are many

regiments traditions and skills peculiar to their homeworld that make many regiments slightly

different. It is this universal diversity that produces the myriad of different colours and flavours ofImperial Guard troopers and regiments, and allow players to use the army list to produce their own

specialised regiments we have introduced a system called 'Doctrines'.

Doctrines are variations in training and organisation that have an effect on the way a regiment

fights. They are only relevant if you want your army to represent a particular regiment with minimal

external support.

You are allowed 1 doctrine point per every 1000 point interval and 1 point per company command

squad. You do not have to spend all of your doctrine points but there is no benefit in using less.

E.G. A 1000 point army with 1 Company Command Squad is worth 2 Doctrine points.

Guard Infantry: In several of the following Doctrine descriptions, the term Guard Infantry unit is

used. In this context, the definition includes any command squad along with its Officer and any

attached advisors, Heavy Weapon Teams, Special Weapon Squads, Infantry Platoon squads and

their attached Command Squads.


6/50

Regimental

Drop Troops 1 Doctrine point: The regiment comes from a world where grav-chute use is

commonplace and has been trained in their use for dropping into combat. Any Guard unit

including vehicles may Deep Strike if the mission permits. Other units must deployconventionally.

Armoured Company 1 Doctrine point: The Imperial Guard is not really noted for its

subtlety preferring to smash a nut with a sledgehammer if at all possible! Typical of this

approach are the numerous armoured companies fielded by the Imperial Guard which are

made up entirely of tanks. This allows a Imperial Guard player to take Leman Russ battle

tanks and its variants as HQ and Troops choices. Leman Russes in the troops section can

claim objectives.

Storm Trooper Battalion 1 Doctrine point: Storm Troopers are usually split between

various combat forces, rather than fighting as a single entity. However, there have been

occasions when such a force has gone to war, generally to undertake a special mission of

some kind or another. To represent such a formation you may take take Storm Trooper

squads as Elites and Troops. Storm Trooper squads in the troops section can claim

objectives.

Rough Rider Company 1 Doctrine point: In a similar vein, some regiments field

companies made up entirely of Rough Riders, either through tradition or necessity. To

represent a Rough Rider army allow Rough Rider squads to be taken as Elites and Troops.

Rough Riders in the troops section can claim objectives.

Infantry

Iron Discipline 1 Doctrine point: On many worlds of the Imperium, nobles are raised from

birth to be officers. They have an air of confidence and authority that keeps their troops

fighting to the last man.

Any unit may regroup below half strength, increases the leadership characteristic of

company and platoon commanders by 1 and increases there order radius by 6''.

Close order drill 1 Doctrine point: Members of the regiment are thoroughly drilled infighting in dense formations where they can present a hedge of blades and bayonets and

clubbed lasguns at the enemy. To perform close order drill all the models in the any Guard

Infantry unit must be in base to base contact.

While in close order, all models in the unit have +1 leadership and +1 Initiative.

Hardened Fighters 1 Doctrine point: The regiment is recruited from particularly violent

societies and backgrounds, and are particular adept hand-to-hand combatants. Hardened

Fighters add 1 to their WS. Sentinels also gain an additional attack in addition to the plus 1

WS as their crews are trained to stun and disorientate opponents.


7/50

Light Infantry 1 Doctrine point: The regiment is renowned for its stealth. This Doctrine is

available to any Guard Infantry unit without a transport vehicle.

Rolls an additional dice when determining how far they can move through

difficult terrain;

May infiltrate if the mission permits;

Sharpshooters 1 Doctrine point: Sometimes war has been a way of life for successive

generations of the regiment, and consequently they are formidable marksmen, having

undergone military training from an early age. Any Guard Infantry model with a BS 3 may

make a single re-roll of a shooting to hit roll of 1. The sharpshooter ability has no effect

when firing plasma weapons or sniper rifles.

Xeno-fighters 1 Doctrine point: After numerous wars, the regiments have learnt how to

combat all types of xenos. When in close combat with any enemy xeno with a WS attribute,

Xenos-fighters hit on 3+ regardless of respective Weapon Skill values.

Carapace Armour 2 Doctrine points: Carapace Armour is a type of combat armour used

by many Imperial military and para-military organisations. Carapace Armour consists of

large rigid plates of armaplas or ceramite molded to fit parts of the body. It can range from

complete armoured suits to individual pieces such as chest plates, helmets, greaves, etc.

Guard Infantry units and Rough Riders are equipped with carapace armour. This means that

their Armour save will change from 5+ to 4+.

Cameleoline Cloaks 2 Doctrine points: A Camo-cloak is a cloak weaved for its durability

and ability to help hide the wearer. The Camo Cloak is coated with an absorbent material

called Cameoline which takes on the colouration of the surroundings giving the wearer agreat deal of individual concealment and when used by elite stealth experts.

Guard Infantry units and Rough Riders are equipped with Cameleoline Cloaks which adds 1

to any Cover save they are already allowed.

Chem-inhaler 1 Doctrine point: Some undisciplined units have altered the gasses in their

rebreathers to include narcotics such as 'slaught and Kalma' The effect is to make them even

more indifferent to danger and loss. Guard Infantry units and Rough Riders are equipped

with equipped with these will always test Morale, Leadership or Pinning with no negative

modifiers.

Prepared Defences 1 Doctrine point: It is generally true that defenders have an advantage

over attackers. Allowing defenders to strengthen their position. They have the ability to

make preparations for the battle to protect themselves from the enemy while making the

enemy vulnerable, e.g. preparing positions such as trenches and fortifications or in more

frequently laying obstacles such as land mines and tank traps. This allows you to position up

to 24'' of Aegis defence lines and may move any terrain in and around your deployment

zone.


8/50

Armoured

Evasive Driving 1 Doctrine point: Tanks from this regiment are trained to use their

vehicles to crush attacking infantry. If the tank is assaulted by infantry having moved in its

last movement phase. Then each model assaulting the tank takes a wound on a roll of 4+.Normal Armour Saving throws apply.

Ace Sponson Gunners 1 Doctrine point: This regiment is expert at training its sponsor

gunners to defend their ranks from enemy assaults. If the tank has been assaulted in the

Assault phase, then the tank may fire its sponsor weapons (if in arc) at the enemy assaulting

the tank at Initiative 10.

Crush and Grind 1 Doctrine point: When assaulting enemy infantry the regiment has no

compunction about crushing them under its tracks. The first unit Tank Shocked in a turn by a

tank with this doctrine will take D6 S4 hits before resolving the Tank Shock as normal.

Normal Saving throws apply and n enemy infantry unit forced to take a Tank Shock test by

this vehicle does so at -1 to their Leadership.

Ace Gunners 1 Doctrine point: A tank using this doctrine engages targets with blinding

accuracy. Any shooting rolls of 1 may be re-rolled once. Additionally you may re-roll the

Scatter dice (not the Distance dice, just the directional dice).

Forge-crafted 1 Doctrine point: The regiments tanks have been built on an Adeptus

Mechanicus forge world. Once per game, the owner can force the enemy to re-roll the result

of a single glancing or penetrating hit. The new result must be accepted though.

Anti-mag 1 Doctrine point: The crew have learned to coat their tank with anti-magnetic

paste. The effect is to prevent enemy grenades sticking to the armour. Whenever a grenade

(or melta-bomb, stikk bomb etc) causes a glancing or penetrating hit the tank has a Saving

throw of 4+ against its effects.

Reinforced Ceramite Armour 1 Doctrine point: This vehicle has numerous plates of heat

reflecting ceramite, giving it extra protection against melta weapons. Melta weapons

(including melta bombs) do not roll an extra dice for armour penetration.

Slick Loader 1 Doctrine point:The vehicles loader quickly gets the main gun ready to fire

after each shot. If the vehicle remains stationary, it may fire its main weapon twice in oneturn. The second shot must be at the same target as the first. The vehicle cannot move at all

and cannot fire any other weapons in the turn this skill is used. The weapon fired must be an

ordnance weapon, you cannot use this skill on a heavy weapon.

the Psyker model as a casualty. The power he was attempting to use does not work.

Telepathic Order: This power allows the Sanctioned Psyker to extend the zone of influence

of an Officer he/she is accompanying. Use at the start of the Imperial Guard turn. If the test

is passed, the order radius of any Officer in the same squad as the Sanctioned Psyker is

extended to 18'' in-till the start of the next imperial turn.

Psychic Ward: Sanctioned Psykers are particularly useful in countering the heretical abilities

of aliens and traitor scum. Any enemy within 24'' of the Sanctioned Psyker that passes a

Psychic test, the psychic power may be intercepted. Make a psychic test, if the test is passed

then roll D6 on a 5+ the power is nullified.

Psychic Lash: The Sanctioned Psyker focuses his/her powers on nearby opponents, mentally

ripping open arteries and puncturing organs. Instead of making his/her normal attacks in

close-combat, make a psychic test. If successful the Psyker gets 2D6 Attacks (with no
