Universal Special Rules

Superior Craftsmanship
Skitarii have access to masterwork equipment. This unit can enhance all their weapons with the Master-crafted upgrade.

Adept
All Skitarii have had at least some insight into the rites of machine operation, but only the Adepts truly know how to execute the rites and work with the Machine Spirits. A unit with the Adept USR may operate emplacements and similar units.

Aid
If a Genetor is in base contact with a wounded unit during the Shooting phase, he can attempt to heal it instead of firing. Roll a D6 and add the the following modifiers:
Each Gene-Servitor with a Narthecium/Reductor in the unit: +1
The Genetor has a Narthecium/Reductor: +1
If the result is 5 or more, a wound is removed from the model, and the unit gains Feel No Pain until it's next turn. The Genetor cannot heal if gone to ground or falling back.

Bastion
The equipment available to the Skitarii superior in quality, and is manned by highly trained personnel. This rule replaces the Artillery unit type. Bastion units are not automatically destroyed on a glancing or penetrating hit, and they may even be recrewed by suitable troops.

Selective Fire
The unit has an arsenal of weaponry at it's disposal, but may only use one ranged weapon in each Shooting phase.

Skitarii Mindlock
A unit with Servitors must test for mindlock at the start of each friendly turn. Roll a D6 for each unit of Servitors. If the result is a 4, 5 or 6 the test is passed and the unit can function normally for the remainder of the turn. If the result is a 1, 2 or 3, the Servitors have succumbed to mindlock - the Servitors in the unit may not move, shoot or assault that turn (though they will fight normally in close combat if already engaged). If a Rune Adept is part of the Servitor unit at the start of the turn, the mindlock is instead passed at 3, 4, 5 or 6. If a Rune Prist or a Magos is part of the Servitor unit at the start of the turn, the mindlock is passed automatically

Massive Reach
The huge titans stand above entire armies, and have clear sight to most of the enemy host. Even standard weaponry behaves differently when coupled with the miniature star that powers a titan. The unit's main ranged weapon has twice the normal range. Hull mounted weapons are unaffected.

Crushing Advance
An enormous vehicle is rarely bothered by little things in the way, such as rubble. A unit with this rule may reroll any dangerous terrain tests, and also has the Move Through Cover rule as well.

Make My Own Road
Titans usually devastate the terrain they traverse, but certain light titans may use their powerful legs for a specific boon. A unit with this rule treats all non-dangerous terrain as a road.


Wargear

Bio-Needler Pistol
18" range, S1, AP5, Assault 1, Poisoned 2+

Cybermount
A four-legged cybernetic replacement of the lower limbs may greatly increase a unit's mobility. Gives a unit the Move Through Cover and Fleet Universal Special Rules.

Forgeheart Armour
This Terminator Armour is much larger and thicker than normal Tactical Dreadnought suits. It gives the wearer a 3+ Invulnerable save.

Skitarii Lasgun
The greatly improved Skitarii Lasgun offers much greater range, and packs a bigger punch.
36" range, S3, AP6, Rapid Fire (18" instead of 12")

Skitarii Laspistol
The greatly improved Skitarii Laspistol offers much greater range, and packs a bigger punch.
18" range, S3, AP6, Assault 1

Skitarii Plasma Gun
The Skitarii version of the Plasma Gun is equipped with a recently discovered laser cooling system. In the event of a Gets Hot!, the affected model's save is improved by 1. It is otherwise functionally identical to the Plasma Gun.

Skitarii Plasma Pistol
The Skitarii version of the Plasma Gun is equipped with a recently discovered laser cooling system. In the event of a Gets Hot!, the affected model's save is improved by 1. It is otherwise functionally identical to the Plasma Pistol.

Melta Charge
Small, compact, incomprehensibly powerful.
6" range, S10, AP2, Assault 1, Blast, One Shot

Skitarii Combi-Weapon
Functionally identical to other Combi-Weapons, but the main component is a Skitarii Lasgun.

Skitarii Lascannon
The tri-cyclic Skitarii Lascannon may punch through the thoughest armours with surprising ease.
48" range, S9, AP1, Heavy 1

Skitarii Multi-laser
Multi-spectral coating lowers the effect of atmospherics on the laser bloom, increasing the range of the weapon.
48" range, S6, AP6, Heavy 3

Skitarii Plasma Cannon
The Skitarii version of the Plasma Cannon is equipped with a recently discovered laser cooling system. In the event of a Gets Hot!, the Adept attempts a save to shut down the weapon and avoid the overheat. For this purpose, the Adept's save is improved by 1. It is otherwise functionally identical to the Plasma Cannon.

Cameleoline Armorweave
Functionally identical to a camo cloak, but of much greater quality. Gives the Stealth USR.

Hailstorm Missile
Single-use weapon system fitted to some Skitarii vehicles. A Hailstorm Missile is a krak missile with unlimited range that can only be fired once per game. They are fired at BS4, and are treated as an additional weapon. The missile attack type is top-attack, and will always affect the side armor.

Thudd Launcher
An area denial artillery weapon with impressive target saturation abilities.
12-48" range, S5, AP5, Heavy 4, Barrage, Blast

Melta Shell Launcher
A hybrid cannon-missile launcher, capable of firing the incredibly complex Melta Shell.
12-48" range, S8, AP1, Heavy 1, Melta, Blast

Shattersky Artillery
This massive artillery piece fires six-tonne Shattersky shells. The shells are equipped with grav-chutes, and are primed to detonate in the air in a two-stage explosion. At first, a small blast takes place that splits the weapon apart. Two seconds later, the main charge detonates in a massive shockwave and fireball that obliterates everything in it's path and makes a mockery of cover or defenses. Cover saves may not be taken against the Shattersky Artillery attack.
24-96" range, S8, AP2, Ordnance Barrage 1, Large Blast

Unchargable Void Shield
A much smaller version of the Void Shield found on some titans and most starships. A unit equipped with an Unchargable Void Shield ignores all glancing hits until the shield is depleted. It also ignores the first penetrating hit, after which the shield is depleted.

Plasma Sword
A potent weapon mounted on smaller titans, the Plasma Sword strikes hard and cuts through any armor. Power Fist, Lance
