Daemonbane:
If the
Force psychic power is successfully manifested and targets a unit with one or more weapons with this special rule then, in addition to the usual effects, all weapons with this special rule re-roll failed
To Wound and
armour penetration rolls against models with the
Daemon special rule whilst the
blessing is in effect.
Ward:
A model equipped with this weapon has the
Adamantium Will special rule.
| Techmarines are equipped with powerful servo-arms that can be used for battlefield repairs, or put to use as weapons that are capable of crushing even the most durable armour. |
Profiles for the following ranged weapons can be found in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook:
| Incredibly rare pre-Heresy artefacts, conversion beam projectors fire an energy burst that induces a controlled subatomic reaction in the target, converting its mass into energy. The further away the target, the more deadly the blast, as the beam has time to grow in penetrating power and explosive potential. |
A shot from a conversion beamer has a different profile depending on how far the target is from the firer. When firing the conversion beamer, place the
blast marker over a target within 72" and then roll for
scatter. Once the final location of the blast marker has been determined, measure the distance from the firer to the centre of the blast marker and consult the chart below to determine the effect. If this distance is greater than 72", the shot misses.
| Hurricane bolters combine the punishing firepower of multiple twin-linked boltguns to produce a withering storm of shells. |
A hurricane bolter consists of three
twin-linked boltguns fired as a single weapon.
| A psilencer fires nothing less than the focused and amplified psychic might of its wielder. Psilencers do not have triggering mechanisms; they are activated when the Grey Knight sends a bolt of psychic force into the weapon’s containment core. This pulse is then fired as several energy beams that destroy both flesh and soul. |
| Psycannons are extremely rare weapons found only in the hands of those who possess sufficient strength of will to activate their psychically-charged payloads. |
| Stormstrike missiles detonate with a thunderous boom that leaves those caught in the blast radius reeling and disoriented. |
| The typhoon missile launcher is a fearsome and versatile weapon, able to launch volleys of frag and krak missiles. |
All of the following weapons are
Flamer weapons for the purposes of any special rules that interact with Template weapons as described in Warhammer 40,000: The Rules.
Profiles for the following flamer weapons can be found in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook:
| An incinerator is a heavily modified variant of a flamer, its igniter and containment vessels significantly altered in order to accommodate psychically impregnated promethium fuel. When triggered, the weapon projects an incandescent stream of azure flame that burns far hotter than any normal combustion ever could – a fire that burns not just the body, but the very soul. |
| Embellished by the finest artificers, these lavish suits are less bulky and ponderous than Terminator armour, but offer more protection than the power armour commonly employed by Space Marines. Artificer armour’s construction enables the wearer to shrug off strikes from anti-tank rockets and even direct hits from battle cannons, without sacrificing mobility. |
Artificer armour confers a 2+
Armour Save.
| Power armour is the standard protection for Space Marines and its distinctive outline casts fear into the enemies of Mankind. Made from thick ceramite plates that can shrug of small arms fire with impunity and host to a suite of autosenses and life-support functions, power armour interfaces directly with a Space Marine’s thoughts to enhance the movements of the wearer on the battlefield. |
Power armour confers a 3+
Armour Save.
| Terminator armour is the heaviest and most durable form of personal protection available to the warriors of the Imperium. Designed for close-quarters fighting aboard space hulks and other confined areas, Terminator armour is capable of withstanding almost any attack. The ceramite plates can deflect most conventional assaults, whilst the Crux Terminatus on every Terminator’s shoulder plate serves as a ward capable of turning aside even attacks from power weapons or melta fire. It is said that Terminator armour can withstand the titanic energies at a plasma generator’s core, and that this was in fact the armour’s original purpose. Little wonder then that Terminator armour is also known as Tactical Dreadnought armour, for only the adamantium and ceramite hull of an actual Dreadnought walker is more enduring. |
Terminator armour confers a 2+
Armour Save and a 5+
invulnerable save. Furthermore, models in Terminator armour have the
Bulky,
Deep Strike and
Relentless special rules, and cannot make
Sweeping Advances.
Profiles for the following special issue wargear can be found in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook:
| Many are the banners of the Grey Knights brotherhoods, and each commemorates a great victory from the Chapter’s arduous and secretive past. To fight beneath a brotherhood banner is to fight in the full gaze of one’s legendary forebears, and to redouble one’s efforts because of it. |
Friendly units with the
Grey Knights Faction within 12" of the bearer re-roll failed
Morale checks and
Pinning tests. All models with the Grey Knights Faction in the same unit as the bearer have +1 Attack whilst the bearer is alive.
| Digital weapons are concealed lasers fitted into finger rings, bionic implants or the knuckles of a glove. They lack range, but can be used in melee to take advantage of an enemy’s exposed weakness. |
A model armed with digital weapons can re-roll a single failed
roll To Wound in each
Assault Phase.
| An iron halo is a symbol of high office amongst the Grey Knights; not merely a token or treasure, but a powerful defence in its own right. Beneath the halo’s shining metal lies a powerful energy field generator that can thwart even the most cataclysmic blow. |
An iron halo confers a 4+
invulnerable save.
| The narthecium is used by Apothecaries to dispense medical aid, including complex battlefield surgery, to the wounded. The device also houses a reductor – the mechanism with which the gene-seed of the fallen is recovered, ensuring the Chapter’s future. |
As long as the bearer is alive, all models in his unit have the
Feel No Pain special rule.
| Each of these arcane teleport arrays can shunt a Grey Knight through Warp space, allowing him to traverse the battlefield in the blink of an eye. |
Models with a personal teleporter add the
Jump type to their unit type. For example, an
Infantry model with a personal teleporter becomes
Jump Infantry, whilst a
Monstrous Creature with a personal teleporter becomes
Jump Monstrous Creature. In addition, once per game, a unit composed entirely of models with personal teleporters can make a
teleport shunt instead of moving in the
Movement phase. A unit making a
teleport shunt moves up to 30" in the Movement phase. This move cannot end up on another unit or
impassable terrain, but ignores intervening units, terrain etc. A unit cannot charge in the same turn that it makes a
teleport shunt.
| Psyk-out grenades are produced using an extremely rare substance thought to be a byproduct of the esoteric processes that sustain the Astronomican. Upon detonation, each grenade scatters a dense cloud of psi-refractive particles across the target area. |
ShootingWhen a unit armed with psyk-out grenades makes a shooting attack, one model can choose to throw a grenade, rather than using another shooting weapon.
Psi-shock:
If a unit containing at least one
Psyker (i.e. a model with the
Psyker,
Brotherhood of Psykers/Sorcerers or
Psychic Pilot special rule) is hit by a weapon with the Psi-shock special rule, one
randomly determined Psyker model in that unit suffers
Perils of the Warp in addition to any other damage.
AssaultModels with the
Psyker,
Brotherhood of Psykers/Sorcerers or
Psychic Pilot special rules that are charging a unit equipped with psyk-out grenades do not gain
bonus Attacks from charging. However, if the charged unit was already
locked in combat from a previous turn, or has
gone to ground, these grenades have no effect and the attackers gain bonus Attacks as normal.
| This backpack-mounted contraption incorporates many tools, mechanical limbs and weapons. |
A servo-harness gives the bearer two
servo-arms, a plasma cutter and a
flamer. In the
Shooting phase, the bearer can fire both harness-mounted weapons, or one harness-mounted weapon and another weapon.
| A storm shield is a large, solid shield that has an energy field generator built into it. Though the bulk of the shield offers physical protection, the energy field is capable of deflecting even the most powerful attacks. |
A storm shield confers a 3+
invulnerable save. In addition, a model equipped with a storm shield can never
claim the +1 Attack gained for being armed with two
Melee weapons in an assault.
| Teleport homers emit a powerful signal enabling orbiting Strike Cruisers to lock onto them with their teleportation equipment. By matching the exact coordinates of this signal, the risk of missing the intended target is greatly reduced. |
Friendly units composed entirely of models in
Terminator armour (including the
Cuirass of Sacrifice) and/or models with a
personal teleporter do not
scatter when arriving from
Deep Strike Reserve, so long as the first model is placed within 6" of the teleport homer’s bearer. For this to work, the bearer must have been on the battlefield at the start of the turn.
Relics of Titan are items of incredible power with names and histories that are spoken of in the same reverent tones used to describe the Chapter’s greatest heroes. Only one of each of the following artefacts may be chosen per army – there is only one of each of these items in the galaxy!
| This bleached relic was carved from the thighbone of Brother-Captain Solor. Used as a stake to slay the Bloodthirster Ka’Bandha, the shard has ever since been the bane of beasts, especially those dedicated to the Blood God Khorne, which recoil from its presence. When the veil between the Warp and reality grows thin, the bone begins to vibrate, the ancient essence of Solor reacting to the taint of Daemons and protecting the bearer from their otherworldly claws and blades. |
The bearer of the Bone Shard of Solor has a 3+
invulnerable save whilst within 12" of at least one model with the
Daemon special rule. This is increased to a 2+ invulnerable save whilst the bearer is within 12" of at least one model with the
Daemon of Khorne special rule. In addition, the bearer has the
Hatred (Daemons of Khorne) special rule.
| The Cuirass of Sacrifice is a master-forged suit of armour whose interior is etched with the names of the many regiments, orders and Chapters that have fought alongside the Grey Knights. None but the Grey Knights can be trusted to fight the creatures of the Warp and remain uncorrupted, and the fate of many other warriors that fight Daemons and survive is mindwipe or death. The Cuirass is a reminder to the Grey Knights that such sacrifice must not be forgotten, and the wearer swears a solemn vow not to dishonour the names of those who have suffered such a fate whilst even an ounce of strength remains in his body. |
The Cuirass of Sacrifice is a suit of
Terminator armour that confers a 2+
Armour Save and a 5+
invulnerable save. The wearer has the
Bulky,
Deep Strike,
It Will Not Die,
Feel No Pain and
Relentless special rules, and cannot make
Sweeping Advances.
| Many Grey Knight battle-brothers carry with them a copy of the Liber Daemonica, a tool that can be as vital to vanquishing Daemons as blade or bolter. The Domina Liber Daemonica is a relic of Supreme Grand Master Janus, the only Grey Knight to ever master all 666 words of banishment, each one painstakingly recorded on its pages. In times of need a hero of the Chapter will carry the book into battle, its bindings crackling with arcane energy as the words fill the air and lend the battlebrothers’ blows the power to send Daemons howling back into the Warp. |
The bearer of the Domina Liber Daemonica knows one more psychic power than is normal for his
Mastery Level. This additional psychic power must be
generated from the
Daemonology (
Sanctic) discipline. In addition, the bearer, and any friendly units with the
Grey Knights Faction within 6" of the bearer, re-roll dice rolls of 1 when taking
psychic tests when attempting to
manifest psychic powers from the Daemonology discipline.
| Although Crowe wields the Blade of Antwyr, he does not draw upon its otherworldly powers lest it destroy his very soul, and instead uses it as he would any blade of sharpened steel. |

| When the moon of Deimos was gifted to Titan by the Adeptus Mechanicus, it carried with it a ship loaded with some of the finest weapons the Imperium has ever created. Among them was the storm bolter Fury of Deimos, a weapon crafted by the first Fabricator General. Superior in range, accuracy, rate of fire and reliability than a normal storm bolter, it is a relic whose secrets have long been forgotten. |
| Anointed in the blood of a dozen Grand Masters, the Nemesis Banner is one of the Chapter’s most potent relics. The banner is abhorrent to creatures of the Warp, its psychic light burning so bright that Daemons cannot look upon it, their very essence burning away the closer they come to its presence. |
Friendly units with the
Grey Knights Faction within 12" of the bearer have the
Fearless special rule. In addition, all models with the Grey Knights Faction in the same unit as the bearer have +1 Attack whilst the bearer is alive. Furthermore, all models with the
Daemon special rule (friend or foe) treat all terrain, even
open ground, within 12" of the bearer as
dangerous terrain.
| Over centuries of war, a fraction of a Grey Knight’s essence may imprint itself upon his weapon, literally becoming an extension of his being. In rare cases, this imprint is so strong that it persists after death, and another can wield the blade in battle to combine their own psychic might with that of a fallen hero. The Soul Glaive is such a weapon, a halberd that in generations past that was carried into battle by the 13th Supreme Grand Master of the Grey Knights, Lord Sylas Kalthorn, who defeated the Daemon Prince Ka’laedzar in single combat. |
Daemonbane:
If the
Force psychic power is successfully manifested and targets a unit with one or more weapons with this special rule then, in addition to the usual effects, all weapons with this special rule re-roll failed
To Wound and
armour penetration rolls against models with the
Daemon special rule whilst the
blessing is in effect.
Soul Imprint:
A
character wielding
the Soul Glaive re-rolls failed
psychic tests when attempting to manifest the
Force psychic power. Furthermore, if the Force psychic power is successfully manifested and targets the character wielding this weapon, or his unit, then in addition to the usual effects, the Soul Glaive re-rolls all failed
To Hit,
To Wound and
armour penetration rolls whilst the blessing is in effect.
| Perhaps the mightiest blade ever carried by a Grey Knight, this sword is anathema to Daemonkind. |
Daemonbane:

Force psychic power is successfully manifested and targets a unit with one or more weapons with this special rule then, in addition to the usual effects, all weapons with this special rule re-roll failed

blessing is in effect.
| Crafted over a century by the blind smith Hulliver, this beautifully weighted hammer is a conduit for psychic energies. So empowered, it streaks through the air as though it weighed nothing at all, only to strike with the force of a caged thunderbolt. |
Daemonbane:

Force psychic power is successfully manifested and targets a unit with one or more weapons with this special rule then, in addition to the usual effects, all weapons with this special rule re-roll failed

Grey Knights Vehicle Equipment
Profiles for the following grey knights vehicle equipment can be found in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook:
| The Stormraven’s hull plates are designed to protect it from the extreme conditions of orbital re-entry, but they also serve to thwart the fury of certain weapons. |
Weapons with the
Melta special rule do not roll an extra D6
armour penetration at half range or less when shooting at a
vehicle with ceramite plating.
| The hulls of Land Raider Crusaders and Land Raider Redeemers are studded with explosive charges designed to hurl shrapnel at the enemy as the troops inside charge out. |
Any unit charging into close combat on the same turn as it
disembarks from a
Land Raider Crusader or
Land Raider Redeemer counts as having
frag grenades.
| When activated, locator beacons upload detailed information to the tactical grid, allowing precision reinforcements by reserve forces. |
Friendly units do not
scatter when they
Deep Strike, so long as the first model placed is within 6" of a model with a locator beacon. The locator beacon must have been on the battlefield at the start of the turn in order for it to be used.
| Magna-lock arrays of prodigious strength, the grapples of a Stormraven Gunship can bear a mighty Dreadnought to war. |
A Stormraven can transport a single
Dreadnought with its rear grapples. An embarked Dreadnought suffers a Strength 10 hit on its rear armour if a
Zooming Stormraven is
wrecked or suffers a
Crash and Burn! result; the hit is Strength 4 if the Stormraven is
Hovering.
