Legio Hereticus Rule:
Replace Legiones Astartes (EC) with Legiones Hereticus (EC)
Need to be traitor
For terms of army building, treat as Legiones Astartes (EC)
Can't take Legiones Astartes (EC) upgrades
Can take Legiones Astertes (EC) units, but they become Legiones Hereticus (EC) instead
Legiones Hereticus (Emperor's Children) Special Rules:
Lords of Profligacy
After a shooting attack has been resolved against a unit that is entirely composed of models with the Legio Hereticus (EC) special rule, if that unit is not falling back, its controlling player can choose for it to become stupefied. If a unit becomes stupefied while pinned or affected by the blind or concussive(x) special rules, it ignores those effects while stupefied.
A unit that is stupefied can only fire snap shots and cannot make reactions in any phase. If a unit that is stupefied has a charge declared for it, then that charge is always considered disordered. Furthermore, whilst stupefied, all models in that unit increase their strength characteristic by +1 and when a model in a stupefied unit suffers an unsaved wound it can make a special stupefied roll to ignore it. Stupefied rolls may not be taken against attacks that have the instant death special rule. Roll a D6 for each unsaved wound. On a 6+ the wound is ignored. Add 1 to stupefied rolls made for units which have the fearless special rule. A stupefied roll is a damage mitigation roll.
At the end of its controlling player's following turn, the unit is no longer stupefied. While it is stupefied, a unit does not take further morale checks in the movement or shooting phase and cannot be pinned. If the unit is forced to move (like falling back) it is no longer stupefied. If assaulted the unit will fight as usual but enemy units do not receive the imitative penalty for having charged a unit through difficult terrain if applicable. If a unit becomes stupefied while making a charge, then that charge continues as normal but is counted as disordered. Units that are locked in combat can be stupefied, but still take morale checks as normal.
Advanced Reaction: Twisted Desire
This advanced reaction may be made once per battle during the opposing player's shooting phase when any enemy unit declares a shooting attack targeting a friendly unit under the reactive player's control that is entirely composed of models with the Legio Hereticus (EC) special rule that is not falling back. The reacting unit immediately becomes stupefied and adds 2 to stupified rolls made against wounds inflicted as part of the shooting attack that triggered this reaction.
The Divine Instruments
May take The Broken Mirror or Paragon of Excellence (existing EC warlord traits that weren't loyalist only)
The Phoenician's Hubris
Models with this rule may not select the Phoenix Warden consul upgrade. Phoenix Terminator Squads replace Living Icons and Phoenix Retinue with the Fallen From Grace special rule
Fallen From Grace
A unit with this special rule gains +1 to the score used to calculate the winner of a combat during the assault phase if it is wihtin 6" of another friendly unit with the Legiones Hereticus (EC) special rule. Gain +2 instead if withing 6" of Fulgrim Trasfigured.
Rites of War: Hereticus Emperor's Children get two new rights of war. Both require Fulgrim Transfigured. One lets you take up to 5 HQ and gives them Hatred in challenges. The other allows you to deepstrike Fulgrim Transfigured in (but not charge). Note, Legiones Hereticus rules mean these guys can't take the normal Rites of War, so they are severely limited.
Armoury of Indulgence
May take phoenix power spears and power rapiers (as per regular)
Have three alternative wacky surgery upgrades (still 15 points per character)
Warp Scream: Gain Hammer of Wrath (1), or +1 to the rule if you already have it. Hammer of Wrath attacks made by this model have Rending (5+)
Abhorent Sensoria: Gain precision shots (5+) and precision strikes (5+)
Sublingual Glands: Gain the sublingual glands weapon: Range = Template, Strength = -, AP = 5, Type = Assault 1, Fleshbane, Blind
Can take Fulgrim Transfigured (obviously)
