• A unit has all the keywords of all models in that unit. A model only has its own keywords.
• If a rule specifies that it applies to a unit with a keyword, it applies to a unit which includes one or more models with that keyword.
• If a rule specifies that it applies to a model with a keyword, it only applies to a model with that keyword.
• If a rule specifies that it applies to ‘non-KEYWORD’ models/units, it only applies to models/units that do not have that keyword. For example, if a rule applies to non-VEHICLE units, it only applies to units that do not have the VEHICLE keyword.
• Some units can contain models that have different keywords. While this is the case, such a unit is considered to have all of the keywords of all of its models, and so is affected by any rule that applies to units with any of those keywords. Remember that attacks are made against units, not models.
• If a rule only applies to models with a specific keyword, then it instead only applies to models in such a unit that have the correct keyword.
• A rule with a comma-separated list of keywords, or a series of keywords separated by slashes (‘/’), or two keywords separated by the word ‘or’ (e.g. ‘an IMMORTALS, DEATHMARKS or LYCHGUARD unit’) refers to a model/unit that has any one of those keywords.
• A rule with multiple adjacent keywords (e.g. ‘an AELDARI GUARDIANS unit’) only refers to a model/unit that has all of those keywords.
• Some older rules use keywords without specifying model or unit: for example, MONSTER/VEHICLE or TRANSPORT. These rules refer to units with those keywords.
• Singular and plural instances of the same keyword function in the same way.

• That model has the INFANTRY/BEASTS/SWARM keyword and is within a terrain area.
• That model is not fully visible to the attacking model due to one or more intervening terrain features and/or one or more intervening obscuring terrain areas (see below).

• If the target unit is an attached unit, use the highest T characteristic amongst bodyguard models in that unit that are on the battlefield.
• Use the highest T characteristic amongst models in that unit that are on the battlefield.

1. Create Groups: Divide all models in the target unit into the following groups, as many times as required:
   
   • One group for each CHARACTER model.
   • One group for all other models with the same W, Sv and InSv characteristics.
2. Allocation Order: Declare the order in which those groups will have attacks allocated to them, applying all of the following:
   
   • If a non-CHARACTER group contains a model that has lost one or more wounds, that group must be first in the allocation order.
   • No CHARACTER group can be earlier in the allocation order than a non-CHARACTER group.
   • CHARACTER groups containing a model that has lost one or more wounds must be earlier in the allocation order than CHARACTER groups containing no wounded models.
3. Make Save Rolls: The opposing player makes one save roll for each attack that wounded the target by rolling one D6.

• If that roll succeeds, that unit does not become battle-shocked.
• If that roll fails, that unit, and each model in it, is battle-shocked.

• The Objective Control (OC) characteristic of all of its models is modified to ‘-’ (02.02).
• Its controlling player cannot target that unit with stratagems (15).
• It is not eligible to start an action (16), and any action it has started cannot be completed.

1. Select Model: Select one model in that unit by following the first instruction below that applies:
   
   

   If a non-CHARACTER model in that unit has lost one or more wounds, you must select that model. Otherwise, if that unit contains one or more non-CHARACTER models, you must select one of those models. Otherwise, if one or more CHARACTER models in that unit have lost one or more wounds, you must select one of those models. Otherwise, you must select one CHARACTER model in that unit.



2. Resolve Damage: The selected model loses 1 wound. If this reduces that model’s remaining wounds to 0, it is destroyed.

Throughout the Imperium there exist numerous martial organisations and shadowy institutions. Bodies of armed warriors or solitary agents from these groups possess specialist skills, unusual equipment and vested interests that lead them to be attached to larger Imperial armies. Some are requisitioned by the army’s commander for their particular abilities, others are assigned by their hidden masters to achieve singular agendas. The most powerful have the authority and reputation to enforce their presence on the field of battle.

While the nature of the missions undertaken by Imperial agents is as varied as they are, the vital importance of these tasks rarely changes. The enemies they face are the most unholy. The prizes they seek are as priceless as they are nightmarishly dangerous. Thus, when such warriors of the Imperium identify a priority target for elimination or acquisition, no effort is too great nor price too high to see their aims achieved.

Thousands of years of collated strategic data and hard-won combat experience have provided the Deathwatch with the ultimate battlefield tactics to combat almost any foe.
