Army Rules

Space Marine Chapters

Army-wide

If an Adeptus Astartes unit has a second Faction keyword on its datasheet, that Faction keyword is the name of that unit’s Chapter. For example, Marneus Calgar has both the Adeptus Astartes and Ultramarines Faction keywords, and is therefore from the Ultramarines Chapter.

You cannot include units from more than one Chapter in your army.

Combat Doctrines

Army-wide

At the start of your Command phase, you can select one combat doctrine listed below. If you do, that combat doctrine is active for friendly Adeptus Astartes units with this ability until the start of your next Command phase.

Unless otherwise stated:

You can only select each combat doctrine once per battle.

Only one combat doctrine can be active for each unit. If a rule makes a combat doctrine active for a unit, any combat doctrine previously active for that unit is no longer active for that unit.

Adeptus Astartes Psyker units with this ability have a psyker level of 1 or higher, specified in that unit’s abilities. Each psychic ability has a psychic level of 1 or higher, specified in that ability’s name.

In a battle round, a friendly Adeptus Astartes Psyker unit can use a number of psychic abilities whose total psychic level does not exceed that Psyker unit’s psyker level.
