Rules
Deployment

When this model is set up, it will consist of 1 platform section, up to 5 shield sections, up to 2 broken shield sections and up to 2 end sections. All sections must be connected to each other to form a continuous defence line; the 2 broken shield sections can be placed either at the end of the defence line, or in the middle of it such that both are within ½” of each other (in this case, these 2 sections count as being connected to each other). All of the sections that have been set up are then treated as a single model for all rules purposes.

Unit Abilities
Fortification

While an enemy unit is only within Engagement Range of one or more FORTIFICATIONS from your army:

  • That unit can still be selected as the target of ranged attacks, but each time such an attack is made, unless it is made with a Pistol, subtract 1 from the Hit roll.
  • Models in that unit do not need to take Desperate Escape tests due to Falling Back while Battle-shocked, except for those that will move over enemy models when doing so.
Reinforced Cover

Each time a ranged attack is allocated to a model, if that model is not fully visible to every model in the attacking unit because of this FORTIFICATION, that model has the Benefit of Cover against that attack.

Emplacement Platform

Friendly ASTRA MILITARUM INFANTRY models can be set up or end any type of move on top of the platform section of this FORTIFICATION.

Defence Line

While an ASTRA MILITARUM INFANTRY model has the Benefit of Cover as a result of this terrain feature (see above), that model has a 4+ invulnerable save.
