Editing Eyes of the Emperor (section)

=Rules=

==Expeditionary Fleets (Battlefleet Gothic)==

'''''Echo''-class Strike Cruiser (190 points)

The Eyes of the Emperor had little taste for fighting their enemies eye-to-eye and toe-to-toe.  Their preference was to strike precisely from a distance, emulating their great founder's marksmanship.  This posed certain difficulties for the Legion in space combat.  The shipyards of Mars mainly turned out vessels suitable for a close-in fight, prizing heavy armour and great batteries of relatively inaccurate weapons.  It would only be late in the Great Crusade that the Adeptus Mechanicum began to manufacture a light cruiser specifically suited to the doctrine of the Nineteenth Legion, but the ''Echo'' was fielded in surprisingly large numbers by the time of the Hektor Heresy.

==Nineteenth Legion (Warhammer 40,000 using Forge World's Horus Heresy supplements)==

The Eyes of the Emperor are a highly divergent force loosely based on the Crusade Army list presented in the Horus Heresy series.  Although rules references are made to that series, an Eyes of the Emperor may not choose units from the Crusade Army list unless specified below.

All units with the Legiones Astartes (Eyes of the Emperor) rule are subject to the following provisions:
*'''Legiones Astartes''' (as per the Crusade Army list)
*'''Sight of the Vardhana''': All models in an Eyes of the Emperor detachment (not just those with the Legiones Astartes rule) have the Acute Senses special rule.  Cover saves against models with the Legiones Astartes rule are reduced by 1.
*'''Caste System''':  When determining a Squad's leadership, use the highest leadership among models from models with the Acharya rule (if any).  If there are no such models, use the highest leadership from models with the Wesias rule (if any).  Otherwise, leadership is determined normally.

'''Hathiyar'''

By the time of the Heresy, Shresth Nibhanupudi's extensive bionic augmentation had led to him being fused with his armour and weaponry.  In combat, he can extend or retract a wide variety of arms.  In the shooting phase, he may use the Hathiyar as a Conversion Beamer or a Reaper Autocannon.  During the assault phase, it functions as a pair of Lightning Claws.

Phirun Soun may generate three powers in any combination from the '''Divination''' or '''Telepathy''' Disciplines.

'''Vow of Silence'''

Phirun Soun has vowed never to speak other than to summon the Emperor's fury.  He broke this vow once to tell Shakya Vardhana of the betrayal of the Council of Nine, and will break it once more if he is slain.  When Phirun Soun loses his last wound in close combat, he spits out a last curse, causing the model that caused the wound to test Leadership on 3d6.  If the test is failed, the model is immediately removed as a casualty.

'''Psyker''': The Vardhana has every power from Sanctic Daemonology.  He may use these powers normally, without additional risk of Perils of the Warp.

'''Sire of the Eyes of the Emperor''': The Vardhana's great mind could empower the weapons of his sons.  When Shakya Vardhana is in a battle, all saves against ranged attacks from models with the Legiones Astartes (Eyes of the Emperor) rule must be re-rolled.  This includes attacks by the Vardhana himself.

'''Visionary''':  Although his eyes could not physically see, the Vardhana was more perceptive than any of his brothers.  He benefits from the Acute Senses and Night Vision special rules, and can never be affected by Blind.
