Will need to be measured carefully given it’s model by model basis, but if you’re looking to run lots of Fire Warriors with Carbines and Blasters this is great, and CRISIS SUITS will love this as everything they get is an Assault Weapon.

Calm Under Pressure- Assault Weapons get +1 Str when shooting at units within 12”.

It’s good, if you’re going heavy on the Characters, but unless there is another trait you’d prefer over the rerolls, alongside all the other benefits the T’au Sept get, just use them instead. Just like the T’au Sept, which is convenient given this Sector is the heartlands of the Empire.

Adherents to the Teachings- +3” to Auras and Command Phase abilities, up to 12”.

If you’re going suit heavy this isn’t a bad choice for playing the Primary a bit better, but you’ll still need ways to have ObSec nearby to assist them.

Play Their Part- BATTLESUITS count as 3 Models for holding Objectives, or 5 if they have 10+ Wounds.

Good if you have lots of footsloggers and Crisis size suits, letting them get into position. A pseudo Vior’la ability that is generally a bit better, but more limited being INFANTRY only.

Hit Early- All INFANTRY wholly within your Deployment Zone get to make a 6” Normal Move before the First Turn.‘Infiltrate’ or something on those lines means the unit can be deployed anywhere on the table over 9” away from enemy models and the enemy deployment zone, instead of deploying normally.‘Deep Strike’ essentially means the unit can be placed into Reinforcements and arrive more than 9” away from enemy units.‘First turn of combat’ means any rules that trigger when you Charge, are Charged, or Heroically Intervene.Per the Core Rules, anything that might also happen on a 6 to hit (such as auto-wounding) does not apply to the additional hit, only the original. ‘6s explode’ essentially translates to ‘An unmodified 6 to Hit does an additional hit’, so read that as ‘Does 2 Hits instead of 1’.

X+++, or ‘shrug’, ‘Feel No Pain’ or ‘Ignore Damage roll’ depending on how you’re feeling, means it is a dice roll to ignore each point of damage, which is taken after any failed saves.Some common shorthand terms found throughout. As a general rule, any AUXILIARIES cannot benefit from or trigger any abilities discussed unless explicitly called out (a unit of VESPID won’t trigger the Focused Fire Stratagem for the T’AU SEPT for example) There are occasional exceptions that will affect all T’AU EMPIRE units, these will be called out. Don’t forget that this presumes you have the Codex, so some basic things may not be explained here.Īny of the rules discussed below apply only to T’AU EMPIRE models with the same Keyword, so no overlapping or crossing of Auras (no VIOR’LA Auras or powers affecting BORK’AN units, for example).

Here are some key points to remember when reading this Primer, mainly to save it being typed out every time.
