ADEPTUS ASTARTES DEFENDERS OF MANKIND These datasheets allow you to fight Apocalypse battles with your Space Marines miniatures. Each datasheet includes the characteristics profiles ofthe unit it describes, as well as any wargear and special abilities it may have. KEYWORDS Throughout these datasheets you will come across the keyword. This is shorthand for a keyword of your choosing, as described below. All Space Marine units are drawn from a Chapter. Some datasheets specify what Chapter the unit is drawn from, but where a datasheet does not, it will have the keyword. When you include such a unit in your army, you must nominate which Chapter that unit is from. You then simply replace the keyword in every instance on that unit’s datasheet with the name of your chosen Chapter. For example, if you were to include a Chaplain Venerable Dreadnought in your army, and you decided he was from the Blood Ravens Chapter, his Faction keyword is changed to Blood Ravens and his Icon of Hate ability would then read ‘Add 1 to wound rolls for attacks made with melee weapons by friendly Blood Ravens units whilst they are within 6"of this unit.’ You cannot choose the Grey Knights or Legion of the Damned keyword when nominating which Chapter a unit is from.
