Enhancements
Thief of Secrets
Adeptus Astartes model only. Improve the Strength, Damage and Armour Penetration characteristics of the bearer's melee weapons by 1. At the end of the Fight phase, if one or more enemy models were destroyed as a result of a melee attack made by the bearer this phase, until the end of the battle, improve the Strength, Damage and Armour Penetration characteristics of the bearer's melee weapons by 2 instead.
The Tome of Ectoclades
Watch Master or Captain model only. Once per battle, after you have selected your Oath of Moment target, the bearer can use this Enhancement. If it does, select a second enemy unit to be an Oath of Moment target.
Designer's Note: This means that each time a model with the Oath of Moment ability makes an attack that targets either of your Oath of Moment targets, you can re-roll the Hit roll.
Osseus Key
Watch Master or Techmarine model only. At the start of your opponent's Shooting phase, select one enemy Vehicle unit excluding Titanic units within 12" of and visible to the bearer. That unit must take a Leadership test. If that test is passed, until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, subtract 1 from the Hit roll; if that test is failed, that unit is not eligible to shoot this phase.
