Codex - Knights Inductor
The Knights Inductor are an unusual fleet-based Astartes Chapter with a base of operations in Aprior Sector. The Knights take to the field with a unique approach to war, using subterfuge, assassination, and suppression tactics aimed at minimizing casualties against all but the most merciless of foes. Due to the length of lost contact with the greater Imperium the Knights lack the latest Adeptus Astartes weapons and vehicles, but being shunned and largely branded hereteks by the Mechanicus, the Chapter is forced to rely on limited reverse engineering and the aid of stolen science to keep their forces operational. This has resulted in unique weapons and tools of war for the Knights' use. And finally, their cursed gene-seed, resilient to the Warp's wiles has birthed a number of nulls trained in anti-psychic warfare capable of cutting down Daemons and Psykers with ease, though this has left their forces with a crippling vulnerability to fear unlike a space marine.
At the dusk of the Imperium near M42, the Knights are called into action by the greater Imperium, embarking on massive Crusades to aid beleaguered fronts across the galaxy for the chance at redemption and to clear their name of past heresies. However, even as their main strength goes they begin to face ever greater perils in their home system as well as Chaos draws ever closer and the Tyranids seek to destroy a major threat to the Hive Mind. Only time will tell if the Knights are ready to face an unreasoning, grimdark universe once more, or if their upstart spark in dark will be snuffed out...
This codex is currently experiencing a MAJOR overhaul for 8th edition. As such, it is not currently intended to be playable while changes are being made. Evil Executive, CEO of Evil Incorporated (talk) 20:25, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
- Author's Note: For gaming purposes, this codex represents the Knights Inductor going all out in a situation where pulling punches would actually cause more harm in the long run than stopping a conflict with their more traditional methods, although the knights find this distasteful in the extreme.

Knights Inductor Special Rules[edit]
The Knights Inductor are an unorthodox but highly effective Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes. All Knights Inductor have the following tags:
Imperium, Chapter: Knights Inductor
Warlord Traits[edit]
1. LEADER OF "MANY" | 2. MASTER OF STALLING | 3. WATCHFUL DEFENDER |
---|---|---|
The warlord employs electronic trickery to make it seem like his army has an overwhelming and rather demoralizing advantage over his enemy. Against normally fearless armies more specialized techniques are used to create the same effect. All enemy units within 12" of your warlord suffer a -1 to their Leadership | The warlord has orbital assets as well as additional forces do their best to impede enemy force movements in order to buy him more time. Your opponent's first Command Point activation use requires one additional command point. | The warlord takes no chances when fighting a determined, aggressive foe, and puts his Knights through strenuous "firing under duress" exercises to improve their firing reaction times. Once per game, you can make a unit with Chapter: Knights Inductor within 6" of your warlord fire overwatch at +2 ballistic skill. |
Silencer Powers[edit]
Silencers are units with the Empyrean Anathema tag. These units are treated similarly to psykers with a few exceptions:
- Silencers cannot cast any Psychic power, including Smite and Shield. They may also never be affected by any Psychic Powers other than those cast by other Silencers.
- They must instead pick their powers from either the Null Field or Cryomancy disciplines(Gaining a special Primaris power depending on the discipline chosen)
- A Silencer uses 3d6 when attempting to deny an enemy psychic power within 12"
- Silencers; and any unit within 6" of them, can never be affected by any Psychic Powers. Any powers that would be effecting a unit must immediately end once entering the Silencer's Aura.
Null-Fields are all silencer powers that focus on manipulating their aura of nullification. These can be used to shatter the minds of foes. Or to weaken, and possibly even sever the powers of enemy psykers.
Power Number | Power Name | Charge Level | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Primaris Power | Unleashed Null Aura | Null Charge 1 | Passive: Psykers and Daemons within 6” of the Silencer lose -2 Leadership. The Silencer may burn a Null Charge (no test required) in order to affect all enemy units within range with the -2 Leadership penalty until the Silencer’s next Psychic Phase.
Active: Unleashed Null Aura is a Nova with a range of 6” that is usable in close combat. Units with the Daemon and/or Psyker special rule within this range suffers Daemonic Instability and/or Perils of the Warp if applicable. |
1 | Synapse Disruption | Null Charge 1 | Synapse Disruption is a Nova with a range of 6", that can be used even if the Silencer is locked in close combat. All non-Synapse units, affected by this power count as not being within range of a Synapse creature until the start of your next Psychic phase. Non-Tyranid enemy units affected instead use their lowest leadership values for the purposes of any leadership tests that the squad may be call to take. You may increase the Null Charge cost of the power to 2 increasing it's range to 12". |
2 | Warp Void | Null Charge 2 | Warp Void is a Witchfire power with a range of 18" that hits automatically. All Maledictions and Blessings currently affecting the target unit immediately end. If no blessings or maledictions are removed, then the squad must take pass a Leadership test at -2Ld, or be forced to fire Snap Shots until the end of their next turn. You may increase the cost to 3 Null Charges, increasing the range by 6" and Leadership penalty to -4Ld. |
3 | Shatter Mind | Null Charge 2 | Shatter Mind is a Focused Witchfire power with a range of 18". The targeted model immediately rolls 2D6 and subtracts its Leadership. It takes a number of wounds equal to the number remaining with no armour or cover saves allowed. If the target model is slain as a result, remaining Wounds are carried to it's squad, resolved like a Barrage hit, centered on the target model. You may increase the Null Charge cost of the power to 3 to roll 3D6 instead of 2D6. |
Cryomancy[edit]
A Silencer's aura holds roots deep within the fabric of reality, bearing the keys to selectively unmake physics not unlike a psyker. While psyker powers tend to be more energetic, these null powers annihilate energy. Cryomancy is the use of Entropy to freeze enemies solid, staunch wounds, or even create barriers of pure ice.
Power Number | Power Name | Charge Level | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Primaris Power | Exothermic Blood | Null Charge: 6 | Exothermic Blood When this power is cast, select a model from any unit within 12". This may include characters that have fallen(simply mark the position they died, and refer to it later when you cast this power). Roll a d6, and on a 3+ that model may be returned to play with 1 wound remaining. At the end of your next psychic phase, the effected model immediately loses a single wound unless this power is re-casted upon it. In essence, you owe this spell back it's wound. |
1 | Ice-Lance | Null Charge: 7 | *unfinished* |
2 | Ice Wall | Null Charge: 7 | *unfinished* Building walls, made of ice. Blocks line of sight. |
2 | Heat Death | Null Charge: 12 | *unfinished* Small-ish debuff, but incredibly dangerous to both allies and enemies. |
Knights Inductor Equipment[edit]
The Knights Inductor forces mainly employ the standard weapons of the Adeptus Astartes, but they also possess a number of exotic, upgraded, and advanced weaponry.
Ranged Weaponry[edit]
Specialized Bolt Ammo - Thanks to a robust industry, squads armed with bolt weaponry have access to specialized ammo for various mission needs. Along with a stronger propellant, Stun bolts pack a strong explosive package of sonic burst units and mini flash packets, disorienting enemy units from longer range for a close combat unit to mop up easily. Lumen bolts pack a chemically charged warhead tip that covers the enemy in radioactive dyes allowing allies to target them easily even in cover. Tranq bolts have the bulk of their mass replaced by a Solid-tungsten Dart, which is propelled by a weaker gas charge. These darts are coated with neurotoxins based off of Tyranid and Dark Eldar strains and are fast becoming the favored ammunition for both lethal and sub-lethal engagements.
- All models must choose and fire the same bolt ammo type and apply the ammo's effects below to their boltguns, bolt pistols and storm bolters.
Name | Range | S | AP | Type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Stun bolts | +6" | 4 | - | Flash* |
Lumen bolts | +0" | 4 | 5 | Aluminate* |
Tranq bolts | -6" | 4 | 6 | Poisoned (4+) |
- Flash - If a 6 is rolled to hit against a unit with an Initiative value, the target unit must pass an Initiative check or lose -1 WS and BS until the end of their next turn. If four or more 6's are rolled, this also inflicts a Blind test. This is not cumulative.
- Aluminate - If this wounds, glances, or penetrates an enemy unit, all other units may re-roll failed charge distances against that unit and count their cover save as -1 until the end of the turn. This is not cumulative.
Animus Diadem- Numerous conflicts with Culexus agents have driven the development of this bastardized version of the infamous Animus Speculum. A Silencer equipped with this may fire it in the Psychic Phase like an activated Witchfire power, and he may use up to three Null Charges to increase the number of shots fired.
Name | Range | S | AP | Type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Negative Warp Blast | 18" | 5 | 1 | Assault 3+X |
Astartes Anti-Materiel Rifle - The AAMR is a massively overbuilt version of the typical sniper rifle, firing a sizable armor-penetrating solid round that is meant to put down the target with no questions asked. It was designed with Traitor Marines and Null Knights in mind.
Name | Range | S | AP | Type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Astartes AMR | 36" | 6 | 3 | Heavy 1, Rending, Precision Shot |
Mk40 Apriori Plasma Weapons - Discreetly incorporating Tau plasma technology, the Apriori Plasma weapons sacrifice a modicum of their power to incorporate advanced cooling and containment systems, bringing down the rate of plasma-weapon fatal overheating to zero, though this does limit the power output somewhat.
Name | Range | S | AP | Type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Mk40 Plasma Pistol | 12" | 6 | 2 | Pistol |
Mk40 Plasma Rifle | 24" | 6 | 2 | Rapid Fire |
Mk40 Plasma Cannon | 36" | 6 | 2 | Heavy 1, Blast |
Seismic Charge - The cheaper, more stable precursor to the Graviton grenade. This is a modified portable version of the Demolition Charge based off of the designs of the Thunderfire Cannon Subterranean rounds. It creates powerful shock waves to pummel the enemy down and knock them out.
Name | Range | S | AP | Type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Seismic Charge | 8" | 6 | 4 | Assault 1, Large Blast, Stunning*, One Use Only |
- Stunning- A unit hit by a weapon with this rule must take a Toughness test. If failed, the unit is reduced to Initiative 1 until the end of the their next turn.
Stalker Pattern Boltgun - The primary weapon of the Sternguard Veteran Squads, these are bolters with powerful scopes and extended barrels that fires rounds with low sound signatures, meant for covert fighting. A solidified mercury slug replaces the mass-reactive warhead for lethality at sub-sonic projectile speed. A gas cartridge also replaces both the propellant base and main charge for silent firing. These may also fire any alternative bolt ammo purchased by the model/unit. If they do so, they must use the firing alternative ammo profile shown below before applying bonuses:
Name | Range | S | AP | Type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Stalker Pattern Boltgun | 30" | X | 5 | Rapid Fire, Sniper |
Firing Alternative Ammo | 30" | 4 | 5 | Rapid Fire, Rending, Precision Shot |
Stun Gas Flamers - Flamers have long been considered an efficient tool for dealing with swathes of enemies, but too lethal for use in less dangerous engagements. Many have thus been modified to fire a special gas that knocks the enemy out with equal efficiency. Flamers used by the Knights Inductor have the following profiles:
Name | Range | S | AP | Type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Flamer | Template | 4 | 5 | Assault 1, Poisoned (4+) |
Heavy Flamer | Template | 5 | 4 | Assault 1, Poisoned (4+) |
Stun Grenades- These grenades explode in a powerful shock wave that staggers all but the most hardy of foes, utilizing a special sonic charge that explodes the air itself. These are assault grenades that may be thrown in the Shooting Phase using the following profile:
Name | Range | S | AP | Type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Stun Grenades | 8" | 4 | 6 | Assault 1, Blast, Stunning* |
- Stunning- A unit hit by a weapon with this rule must take a Toughness test. If failed, the unit is reduced to Initiative 1 until the end of the their next turn.
Melee Weaponry[edit]
Astartes Riot Shield - Similar to the Storm Shield in size, these provide a form of mobile cover and are easier to handle in close combat, containing a powerful shock-field generator that debilitates attackers. A model equipped with this is Bulky, and cannot Run or make Sweeping Advances. The model gains a 3+ cover save and enemy models re-rolls successful hits in the first round of combat against units entirely equipped with these.
Electro-Shackles - These incredibly strong bindings are linked together through a powerful expanding electrical field that activates upon contact with an enemy. Models equipped with these may forgo their normal attacks to instead attack once with the following effect: A model hit by this can only hit on 6's. In subsequent Assault phases the model must attempt to destroy the shackles by passing a Strength test on a 2D6 (only double 1 is an instant-pass). They are automatically removed once out of combat. Once the Electro-Shackles hit, they cannot be used again.
Pulse Clamp - These clunky devices clamp onto vehicles magnetically or physically onto flesh, and pulse high-powered waves of disruptive energy. Unless used in assaults against vehicles, Monstrous Creatures or Gargantuan Creatures, pulse clamps have no effect. In melee against said targets, they have the following profile:
Name | Range | S | AP | Type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Pulse Clamp | Melee | - | - | Unwieldy, Destruction* |
- Destruction- If this hits a vehicle, it clamps on, dealing D3 rolls on the Haywire table every Assault Phase. Against Monstrous or Gargantuan Creatures, it deals D3 AP - wounds every Assault Phase. At the beginning of the target's turn, it may choose to not move and shoot in order to remove the clamp. Once the Pulse Clamp hits, it cannot be used again.
Servo-Arm - These immensely durable and strong mechanical appendages favored by the adepts of the Omnissiah can be used to make stunningly accurate and delicate repairs, or put to use as deadly weapons of war in equal order.
Name | Range | S | AP | Type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Servo Arm | Melee | x2 | 1 | Melee, Unwieldy, Specialist Weapon |
Shock Weapons - These electrically charged weapons are normally harmless and used extensively in dealing with foes who refuse to lay down their arms in surrender. When facing deadlier foes, the charge of these peacetime weapons can be ramped up considerably, sending out powerful arcing coils of energy on critical hits
Name | Range | S | AP | Type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Shock Baton | Melee | User+1 | - | Melee, Shock |
Shock Maul | Melee | User+2 | - | Melee, Shock |
- Shock - If a weapon with this rule rolls a 6 on its to-hit roll, it inflicts two additional hits.
Null Weapons - These weapons are casted in forges by melting down the armor of fallen Null Knights and other psycho-inert materials. When held in the hands of Inductor Silencers, they are a potent device which can channel the power of their native aura, and concentrate it into a single point that sucks away all light. At even the slightest draw of blood from a foe, the very soul of the weapon's victim is consumed in the silencer's aura, leaving a still-breathing, but permanently comatose body. Counts as Force Weapons when used by models with the Silencer rule, using Null Charges for activation. When used against a Psyker or Daemon, this weapon re-rolls failed rolls to wound.
Miscellaneous Equipment[edit]
Aceso- The Aceso is a complicated device that clamps around the neck of a fallen patient. It works quickly to assist in staunching blood flows, as well as to forcibly flood an Astartes body with a massive influx of Laraman Cells and other regenerative cocktails meant to stabilize and reactivate a fallen Knight. While not always successful, these have been proven to function adequately in stabilizing squad members so that they can operate long enough to receive proper medical attention.
At the end of your Movement Phase, a model equipped with an Aceso may attempt to revive a fallen model from his own unit(or another unit within 3"). To do so, roll a d6, and on a 5+ you may return a single fallen model to that unit. Once an Aceso has been used to successfully revive a model, it can no longer be used for the remainder of the game.
Blind Grenades- These specialized grenades emit a series of stun and infrared disruption packets to disorient the enemy. These count as defensive grenades as described in the Warhammer 40k rulebook.
LAM Unit - Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet(NEEDS CHANGING)
Locator Beacon - Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet(NEEDS CHANGING)
Mark-sense - Or Marksman Autosense, this is a comprehensive hardware overhaul to an Astartes' helmet that allows him to focus on targets in the distance with much greater precision as well as limited night capabilities. LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT AMET(NEEDS CHANGING)
Null-Amps- Or Null Aura Amplifiers, this is a small device analogous to a Psychic Hood that allows a Silencer to project his aura around him with greater strength, the exact opposite of the more commonplace dampeners blanks use to hide their aura. A model equipped with a Null-Amp treats his casting checks as being 1 point higher for the purposes of manifesting Silencer Powers.
Tac-Sense - Or Tactical Autosense, this is a complete sensorium overhaul to a marine's helmet system. With the helmet fully closed off using a camera/rangefinder system, and a series of high-fidelity feedback displays, a sergeant may use this to strategically guide his squad's fire even under the direst of conditions. LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT AMET(NEEDS CHANGING) Tac-Senses are mutually exclusive with Marks-Sense
Vehicle Wargear[edit]
Armored Ceramite - Shots fired at the Model that have the Melta Rule do not add additional d6 strength for penetrating armor.
Camo Netting - Sometimes the simplest solution is the best one. The Knights favor this light reflecting camouflage on their vehicles as well. A vehicle with this adds +1 to their cover saves, and has a 6+ cover save when in the open. This stacks with benefits such as Stealth or Shrouded.
Cerberus Launcher - The cerberus launcher unleashes a barrage of anti-personnel warheads interspersed with anti-sensory munitions that blind and disorient the foe.
Name | Range | S | AP | type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Cerberus Launcher | 18" | 4 | 6 | Heavy 1, Blind, Large Blast |
Plating Overhaul - Extensive study of Leman Russ chassis have led the Knights to implement heavier reinforced armor on some of their own vehicles. Increases the front and side AV values of a vehicle by one and adds Heavy to the vehicle's Type. May only be taken by Rhino Chassis Vehicles.
Refractive Shield Plating - This is a form of shielding that partially deflects or refracts concentrated energy into harmless bursts of light. It has been partially reverse engineered to be able to protect vehicle armor. This grants the effected vehicle a 4+ Invulnerable save against Glancing hits and a 5+ Invulnerable save against Penetrating hits.
Sagitta "Skybolt" Missile Launcher - The Knights recognize the need for heavier vehicle firepower comparative to the Traitor Legions and so make use of a portable missile system with integrated auto-loader. The missile shoots up and then plummets down directly on its target:
Name | Range | S | AP | type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Skybolt | 36" | 8 | 3 | Heavy 1, Barrage* |
- Barrage- The Skybolt always hits side armor and ignores intervening terrain for Line of Sight.
Vehicular Nano-machines - It has been discovered after the linking of first aid nano machines to the machine spirit of power armor, that the same can be done with the machine spirits of their vehicles, which can direct the microscopic repair robots to "injuries" dealt to the vehicle. A vehicle with Vehicular Nano-machines has the It Will Not Die special rule.
Experimental Wargear[edit]
- All Armies whose primary detachment consists of Codex: Knights Inductor contains ONE Experimental Wargear Slot in the Force Organization. This slot may be occupied by any of the following upgrades. Units that have the Omnissiah's Bounty take up an Experimental Wargear slot, and additional Experimental Wargear in the unit does not count against the army limit for such. Additional slots are unlocked with Techmarines as described in their Decree Innovatus rule in the Techmarine entry.
Experimental Infantry Wargear[edit]
Damocles Power Armor MkI- The latest power armor iteration to be tested in the field and the result of hundreds of years of redesign and testing. This is power armor incorporating the gyro stabilization and servo systems of Trooper armor, though still suffering the same drawbacks of limited movement. Provides a 3+ armor save and the Slow & Purposeful special rule
Armored Strategic System- This is an emplacement with T6 W2 Sv3+. Friendly scatter rolls for Blast weapons and Deep Strike rolls within 12" one D6" less for scatter. It must be deployed either by Infiltration or Deep Strike. You must choose which type it is at the time of purchase.
- Disruptor Array- Enemy units within 12" lose -2BS (to a minimum of BS1) and do not gain re-rolls to hit or bonuses to BS from wargear or special rules.
- Signature Projector- Each time enemy units within 12" of the marker wants to Shoot or Charge it must pass a leadership test at -2Ld or be forced to declare its Shooting attack or Charge against the emplacement (vehicles count as Ld8 with the penalty).
- Psi-Suppressor Pylon- This contains a Null-Amp. In addition, this generates an additional D3+X Null Charges per Psychic Phase, with X being the number of Psykers within 12" of the pylon. Psykers cannot generate Charges nor use any powers within this range.
Graviton Grenades- These incredibly difficult to manufacture grenades emit a localized gravity field that drags helpless enemies down to the ground. These count as both assault and defensive grenades that force charging enemy units to roll 3d6 for charge distance taking the lowest two dice. They may be thrown in the Shooting Phase with the following profile:
Name | Range | S | AP | Type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Graviton Grenades | 8" | * | - | Assault 1, Graviton, Stunning* |
- Stunning- A unit hit by a weapon with this rule must immediately take a Toughness test. If failed, their Initiative is lowered to 1 until the player's next Shooting phase.
Gravitic Mass Driver- Analogous to the Tau Rail Rifle, the Grav Mass Driver is essentially a more simplified and compact version of the Gravitic Accelerator Cannon. The ammo fired through the gravitry manipulation plates along the length of rifle tear through the atmosphere before punching through enemy armor. It is very bulky and can only be wielded by Trooper armored or Power armored soldiers, and suffers from a slow firing rate.
Name | Range | S | AP | Type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Grav Mass Driver | 30" | 7 | 1 | Heavy 1, Armourbane |
Macharius Strategem Codex- A dataslate loaded with the latest iterations of the Macharius Strategem for use by a commander to integrate with his battle plan. Proper use and execution of the codified wisdom and knowledge contained in the Strategems will see inspired tactics altering the flow of battle in the user's favor. You may grant one of the following rules to a single unit in the detachment (Tank Hunters, Monster Hunters, Infiltrate, Interceptor, Split Fire, Counter Attack).
- The Macharius Stratagem Codices are far more widely available then other elements of the Experimental Wargear list, made available to all commanders and sub commanders of a Knights Inductor detachment. Macharius Stratagems Codices do not count against the Experimental Wargear Restriction. Instead, for every HQ choice that is taken, a single Macharius Stratagems Codex may be taken.
Tracer Bolts - Or Tracker-Bolts, these highly expensive to produce bolts are equipped with special sensor mites that scatter over a target area, and feed data into the Tactical Grid that Knights can then utilize to correct their aim for devastating effect. Successful hits with these bolts cause no wounds, and resolve without Armor, Cover, or Invuln Saves, and will instead inflict one Marked By The Light marker per hit. These may be fired separately from all other alternative bolt ammo fired by a unit.
- Marked By The Light- If this hits an enemy unit, a friendly Knight Inductor units that fire at the marked unit in the same Shooting Phase may consume a marker to do one of the following: Re-roll failed rolls to hit, Ignore cover saves, or cause Precision Shots to resolve with 5+ to hit instead of 6.
Experimental Vehicle Wargear[edit]
Empowered Machine Spirit- Maestro Gajet's extremely high affinity for Machine Spirits have led to the discovery of before unknown techniques for strengthening a machine spirit's potency. Grants the "Power of the Machine Spirit" Special Rule
Heavy Gravitic Accelerator Cannon- This is the first large-scale version of the Gravitic Accelerator Cannon fielded on a ground vehicle, which can only be mounted on dedicated firing platforms like the Landraider Athena. The sheer force of the gravitic-vortex accelerated round is capable of tearing through multiple armored vehicles without stopping. Of all the Gravitic weapons currently in service, the HGAC is by far the least stable.
Name | Range | S | AP | type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Heavy Grav Cannon | 90" | 10 | 1 | Ordnance 1, Get's Hot!, Path of Destruction* |
- Path of Destruction- Models underneath the center of the template take an Armourbane hit, which deals D3 Hull Points/Wounds of damage with Penetrating hits and unsaved wounds. In addition, when firing the Heavy Grav Cannon, draw a line from its muzzle that touches the center of the target. All vehicles and monstrous creatures that are touched by the line take one S10 AP 1 hit on a D6 roll of 4+.
Hurricane MLRS- The Hurricane Multiple Launcher Reaper Systema is an advanced version of the Whirlwind Launcher, firing up to three times as fast and calibrating impact fuses with greater much greater precision for much deadlier effect.
Name | Range | S | AP | Type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Hurricane MLRS | 12"-60" | 6 | 4 | Ordnance 2, Large Blast, Ignores Cover, Barrage |
Gravitic Accelerator Cannon- The GAC uses gravity vortex manipulation plates to achieve a frictionless firing platform that can accelerate a projectile to unbelievable speeds. Rivaling Tau rail gun technology in power, these masterpieces of human technology are now finally being taken to the field for additional "testing".
Name | Range | S | AP | Type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Grav Accelerator Cannon | 90" | 10 | 1 | Ordnance 1, Armourbane, Point of Destruction* |
- Point of Destruction- A Penetrating hit or unsaved wound deals D3 Hull points/Wounds of damage.
Anti-Air Marker- The Anti-Air Marker fires a self-propelled target-adhering tracking device that can feed calibration adjustment information to nearby Knights, allowing them to fire with predictive capabilities to take down even super sonic targets with reasonable accuracy.
Name | Range | S | AP | Type |
---|---|---|---|---|
AA Marker | 36" | 1 | - | Heavy 1, Skyfire, Interceptor, Twin-linked, Air-Marked* |
- Air-Marked- If this attack hits use a marker next to the marked unit. A friendly Knights Inductor unit may consume the marker to hit the marked Zooming Flyer or Swooping Flying Monstrous/Gargantuan Creature at their normal BS value instead of Snap-shotting in the same Shooting phase.
Lockdown Self-Repair Protocols- A baffling mystery to many of the tech priests and tech marines of the Knights Inductors, when applying certain rituals to the machine spirit, it can cause them to lock up and perform emergency repairs to itself. The correct procedures are known to few, even within the upper ranks of the Workshop Mechanicus. Allows a vehicle to D3 attempts to repair to repair a Hull point, immobilization, and weapon destroyed results, A successful repair is on a 5+. The vehicle cannot move or shoot during this turn.
Redemptor-Pattern Demolisher Cannon- This is a barrel bore and ammunition upgrade that allows Vindicators to achieve much larger distances and greater destructive impact. It is however incredibly difficult to match the right ammunition to the highly bore-sensitive modified barrel.
Name | Range | S | AP | Type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Redemptor DC | 36" | 10 | 1 | Ordnance 1, Large Blast, Strike-down, Get's Hot! |
Warp Maelstrom Cannon- The Warp Maelstrom Cannon is the first and last invention from the Warp Technology Workshop that was shut down after a misfire caused a daemonic incursion on the research planet. It is a dark legacy and reminder to the Knights who would still wish to pursue the dangers of Warp manipulation.
Name | Range | S | AP | Type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Maelstrom Cannon | 48" | X | X | Ordnance 1, Large Blast, Flux* |
- Flux- The strength and AP of the cannon is determined by a 2d6 roll before you fire it. You may choose to reroll one dice. The strength is 2d6 while the AP is the lowest of those two values. If a double is rolled the vehicle takes loses a hull point on a D6 roll of 1-3. A double 6 spawns a Vortex (small blast) at the point of scatter. A double 1 spawns a Vortex centered on the Predator.

Tactical Objectives[edit]
Designed for Maelstrom of War missions, these are the Knights Inductor unique objectives from 11-16
11. THE CHAIN OF COMMAND | 12. CRIPPLING BLOW | 13. BRING THEM HOME |
---|---|---|
Seek out and snipe key leader figures from the enemy ranks to reduce their combat effectiveness and bring the battle to an end swifter. 1VP if you kill a character in the shooting phase, D3VP if you kill an independent character. | Debilitate the enemy, reduce his fighting strength. Then move to draw this conflict to its conclusion. 1VP if an enemy unit fails a pinning, blind or morale check, D3VP if 3+ units fail the check. | Minimize casualties and bring your forces home to fight another day for the Imperium of Man. 1VP no units from your army are lost this game turn, D3VP if none are lost for three game turns. If you have completed the lower level of this objective, as soon as a unit is lost or the game ends, you receive the one victory point and this objective is completed. |
14. COMBINED ARMS ACTION | 15. DRAIN THE WARP | 16. ARMORED MIGHT |
The strength of the Knights Inductor is drawn from their exceptional tactical use of the Tactical Fire Team doctrine. 1VP if you successfully destroy a unit with two or more Knight Inductor units with Tactical Fire Teams. | The Aprior Sector has the highest prevalence of the Blank gene in known space and the Knight Gene Seed contains traces of it as well. Utilize its potential. 1VP if you successfully denied a psychic power in the opponent's last turn using Null Charges, D3VP if 3+ were denied this way. | The mighty workshops of the Knights Inductor have produced a wealth of armored elements for the Knights use in battle. It would be a waste if such potential was left unused. 1VP if you successfully destroy an enemy unit using a friendly Knights Inductor vehicle. |

Knights Inductor Chaplain - 90pts[edit]
"Brothers! Steady your mind as the gift of our gene-seed steadies our soul! We fight not for honor or for glory! We fight for humanity itself! Ave Humanitus!"
"Here is a good place to stop" Chaplain Mikelus gestured for his brothers to kneel, while he stood up on the remains of a stone pillar in the wartorn streets. He tuned his helmet vox to broadcast on Local, and amplified his voice profoundly. The chaplain prepared himself for just a moment to speak, while shells krumped against stone just a few blocks away.
"Brothers, All. The God Emperor has gifted us this day with souls of steel. Inside each of your breasts beats two hearts strong, two hearts in defiance of all who would seek to stop them. Join me in Prayer this day, for we go to war!" The Chaplain watched over his brothers eagerly as they all took a knee, with bolters laid out on the ground.
"In name of the Immortal Emperor, I beseech thee to lend your example to our hearts and minds. By your glorious example we serve mankind, and we slay your foes with a fury unlike any of your mortal servants." Mikelus paused a moment to listen to his voice echoing through the streets, shaking every window and stone. "We ask that you watch over our hearts, as the gene seed of the primarchs Dorn and Gulliman watch over our souls. Guide our blades so that they may pierce our foes, and guide our bolts so that they may purge the heretics. In your name, we give thanks, and offer our lives in service. Now go forth, AND PURGE THEM ALL!"
It is a well accepted fact that space marines have complete freedom of choice in how they revere the Immortal God Emperor. Many space marines choose to pray to him in times of quiet contemplation, while others choose to do so in ceremonies led by chaplains. Still others choose to not see him as a god, but as either a father figure, or a shining example of humanity. In any of these cases, the Knights Inductor look to their chaplains as a guiding hand in their spiritual duties. These chaplains; who themselves are also claimed by the Null-Gene, are mostly needed to ensure that the Knights never forget the Emperor, or his blessings.
As the Knights Inductor are often reserved and distant from others, Chaplains are a sort of oddity amongst those with souls of steel. Their jobs do not consist of watching over their brothers to guard against chaos, but instead to liven them up and make sure they are fully active in times of battle. These chaplains are trained firmly in the art of speaking by Captain Darren, and made to practice speeches for often months without sleeping to ensure they are capable of stirring already guarded hearts.

Knight Inductor Librarians - 55pts[edit]
"The battlefield is so stifling as always, but I will lend you my might brothers, to the best of my abilities and training"
Though the Nullarium and its Silencers bear the brunt of psychic warfare duties a Librarian must always be ready to take up his bolt pistol and force staff when he is called to war, when his psychic talents are needed most in the field. Most Librarian battle-disciplines focus on making up for their relatively frailty in battle, and guiding his brothers to victory by sensing the subtleties of the Warp. Such a task is beyond difficult for a normal psyker, as the deadness of the Warp around the Knights affects one’s ability to draw upon their ethereal powers. But the Librarians of the Knights Inductor have been taught to draw upon the smallest skeins of power and to transform it into something more, and the intense training they are put through bears fruit when they can direct their brothers through the smallest whispers in the Warp.
One might be led to think that these non-Astartes and psyker mutants would be ostracized from the rest of the Chapter, but that is far from the truth. These men are not just valued for their power to manipulate the Warp, but also for the fact that they endured the same trials as their comrades. That alone garners them respect in the eyes of all the Knights worthy of being called brother.

Silencer Primaris - 7 Power Points/105 Matched Points[edit]
"The void beyond itself could not devise a fate more empty and black than the one I will now vest on you!"
"Apparently Sergeant Ferrus' team ran into 'Ork Snipers', or so I've been told. He survived, can't say much for the rest of his team though. What would it take to bring Ferrus down, eh' Nethezzel?" Brother Gloriel patted the shoulderpad of his squad's Silencer, then gestured down the city streets. "You've been quiet, do you sense anything brother?"
The other marine gave a quiet sigh as he ritualistically toyed with the slide of his bolter. "Nothing, I'm not a Psyker, big difference. It's all quiet, but I do have this strange sense, like the Null has gotten a little stronger recently." Nethezzel looked over his squads, then held up his Null-blade to peer beyond the edge of its light. As his team peered just around another block, the squad's point-man suddenly dropped to the ground. Full life-signs still active. The creature that made such a kill sliced Brother Gloriel's arm clean off, and threw it straight out into the streets. The thing wore a skin-tight black jumpsuit, and had a helmet crafted elegantly from an oversized human skull. Several chords of shimmering green materials hung off of its skull from various ports, and fed purest darkness into its barrel.
Before any of the squad members could react, it threw a grenade into their midst, which dispersed a prismatic gas. Everyone around Nethezzel immediately broke into screams befitting those of a mortal child, while they turned to flee from it, just as they would from an unchecked null-aura. Nethezzel noted nothing of the horrors that the creature emitted, only the arcane bolts of energy feeding off the half-souls of his brothers, those that he the too skimmed light from on occasion to sate the hungers. "In another age we would have been brothers, you and I.."
While the rest of his squad turned to flee from the Culexus, Nethezzel ignited his null-blade and sliced a fine line into the plasticrete. The very essence of all life seeped from that ground to feed his blade, which he then turned forward into a lance position. "Now, what will I do with an Ork Sniper? I know what you are, Culexus. Funny.. That you would come for a Silencer. You're just a more refined version of me. Find out what I'm made of my brother." In response the creature clicked its lips, and emulated some child's sobbing as it unsheathed a long and curvaceous blade. In that moment, a thousand opportunities to strike played out in Nethezzel's mind, none of which would succeed him against this being. He played the defense then, and made a gamble by ripping the pins out of the blind-grenade on his hip.
The flash of light was only just enough to avail him an advantage. Nethezzel swept aside an attempted shank from the culexus, his null-blade biting deep into the inferior foe's adamantite. Blow after blow he deftly slid out of the being's reach, while its Animus Speculum fired repeatedly to no effect. The Silencer kept at his desperate defense until his blade dulled, while at the same time the monster's blade ripped open and shattered. It cried out with a voice of but a child, just as the Silencer put his ignited blade across the beings throat.
He could see a blurring of time and space around the point of contact, like he would when executing a mortal. But as soon as his blade left its throat, the blurring ceased, and the creature stood up again. It moved forward with a speed beyond that which even an Astartes could react, and plunged its blunted knife into his side. It moved in between the rigid form of his army, as if not impeded by it in the slightest. Nethezzel knew then that he was doomed, yet when the null-edge slid into his side, he felt only a searing pain. While the assassin sliced his innards cleanly open, the silencer brought up his null blade to its neck. The two mutually slid their blades out through each other, then collapsed into each others knees.'..'
Silencers are created from the extremely rare recruits who have an exceptional compatibility with the Knight Inductor gene-seed, inverting their very essence in an indescribable fashion to create a pariah, a null. Those who already showed the pariah gene-factor are occasionally sent to the Knights Inductor courtesy of the Inquisition, instead of being sent to the Culexus Assassin temple to their spite. In any case, in comparison to a Culexus who absolutely radiates sheer despair and causes physical pain even in non-Warp sensitive individuals, Silencers tend to have more comparative control over their aura. While it may not be as powerful, this makes them more useful in tactical situations as they can "shape" their aura to differing effects in a facsimile of psychic powers. Were it not for their usefulness in this manner, the Inquisition would've stamped out the Knights long ago. It is due to this that the Knights highly value their Silencers despite their being Pariahs and go to great lengths in their acquisition and training through the Nullarium.

Captain Roland Darren, Magister Pactis - 155pts[edit]
"But surely can't we come to an agreement? You see, within the next ten minutes your forces will suffer losses upwards of..."
"No, I assure you that the food provided by my serfs is not edible at all to your people." Captain Darren watched the Water Caste Diplomat from across the galley of his cruiser. Both the Elegant Relictor, and the Korst'la Demlok had been docked to each other, and the diplomats from both parties gathered in Darren's sumptuous feasting hall. Mead and various delicacies from Aprior had been placed on one end of the table, while plates and mugs of Ambrosia; cleverly disguised to more closely resemble the human food across, was placed near Darren. "Your people will get a shipment of power cores from Aprior's manufactorums."
The diplomat looked to either side of her seatings, where she had a Fire Warrior readied, and a Ranghon woman with a bowcaster grafted onto her arms. "And these cores, you assure me that they're of the finest quality available from your people? Are they aboard this ship?"
Darren nodded in assertion to his counterpart, "Yes, you may have them delivered aboard your ship as soon as I have a formal agreement of your side of the bargain. I wish to have one of your tigershark carriers in orbit of Aprior Primus for the next six Terran months. And of course this deal is concurrent, if you wish I will keep supplying more fusion cores to fulfill this contract further."
She sighed, stirring a goblet of wine with a slender finger. "Good, now what's to stop me from simply taking what I want and leaving?" As the Water Caste diplomat sat up, the ranghon bodyguard raised her bowcaster at Darren. To her surprise the Captain swept the space between them with a sword that was aa handsome as he was, with a power field shimmering over obsidian scales and teeth. As one, ten figures in terminator armor stepped out from various alcoves, and raised stormbolters straight to the diplomats. Their cloaking fields disengaged immediately.
Darren planted his paragon blade into the sheet metal at his feet. "Take a look through my eyes, Aun'iel. The Great Devourer comes for your world, and Aprior is one of the many systems between Behemoth, and your people. If you do choose to station a Tigershark Carrier in Aprior, we can put it to great use with our fleets to stave off the fleets. I think you'll find these terms very agreeable..."
Captain Darren is unused to the enemy dropping negotiations suddenly, and starting unnecessary hostilities at the same time they drop all pretense of peace talks. However this does not mean he's not well prepared for such unusual situations. Unusual, it is, because being the premier diplomat for the Knights Inductor Darren is known for being able to quell rebellion and stave off war with a few choice sentences delivered at the right time to the right people. For every battle he is forced to fight there is said to be two dozen avoided in the first place. Even as he makes war he continues to negotiate with the enemy terms of surrender as the Knights go about their duty. Against foes that are classified "no holds barred", Darren is more than willing to do his part to end the conflict in a timely and cost-efficient manner, stirring the normally calm fighting spirit in even the most dour Knight with his impassioned and stirring rhetoric.Name | WS | BS | S | T | W | M | A | Ld | Sv |

Captain Isaac Rico, Master of the Vanguard - 155pts[edit]
"Yes, yes, yes, I -know- we need to minimize losses to maintain optimum combat effectiveness but if we utterly destroy them -now- we can prevent them from escaping!"
Anyone who ever assumed that an Astartes in full power armor is graceless and clumsy has never seen one in action. As the Ninth Captain Isaac slid on his knees across the vertical wall of a hive city building, he angled his entire body to face just shy of a street lamp. Isaac leaped out from the wall with the same grace as an elf, and activated his jump pack to rapidly approach the lamp. Just down the street was a line of fire warriors desperately trying unsuccessfully to get a bead on the captain.
Isaac touched down just behind a wrecked devilfish, and awaited the advance of his Incursion team, each one performing elegant maneuvers as they all ran parallel to walls, and jumped off of uneven surfaces to evade plasma fire. They touched down in the streets just ahead of Isaac, and in unison charged the fire warriors. Each one had managed to catch the Tau off guard, with only two falling to plasma fire before they clamped down hard upon the lines. Chainswords roared out in the night while Isaac clashed in just behind his warriors.
The Captain Deftly slid under a rifle thrown right at him, and dashed aside the desperate hands of a tau warrior. He hooked his chainsword straight into the side of his opponent and threw the man back into indignatus' blade. His innards slid out and sprayed out over Isaac's arm, but he paid them no heed as the captain jumped straight up over an honor blade aimed at him. He crashed down upon the next warrior, and flew straight into a rampage of slicing motions and killing thrusts...
PRESS THEM IN BROTHERS, None shall escape our blades! Run them down!" Indignatus plunged itself straight into the back of a warrior that turned to try and flee, while he watched as his brothers slammed their prey straight into the concrete below to make finishing moves.
Easily the most outspoken and aggressive of all commanders in the Knights Inductor, he has seen more blood and brutality from the failures of fellow Imperials than most of his fellow peer. He sees the galaxy for what it really is, and believes that violence is the only true way to destroy the enemy to protect what they can. He spent much more time languishing in the Incursion squads than most recruits, gaining exceptional combat prowess at the cost of neglecting ballistic practice. The Incursion squads under his command share his own hot-blooded philosophy, much to the chagrin of the other companies.Name | WS | BS | S | T | W | I | A | Ld | Sv |

Provisional Captain, Garven Brias, Master of Ordnance - 150pts[edit]
"Nothing like a couple of earth-shaking Harbinger rounds to liven up one's morning!"
"First officer, give me a status report." Garven watched from the captain's chair of the Battle Barge; Radiant Dawn, as his crew ran about combat stations. Several men ran between the bridge entrance and a reader-servitor. After a minute of inspection, the first officer stood to report. "Captain, confirming the presence of six Tyranid cruisers matching the markings of Hive Fleet Jormungandr, as well as six hundred Narvhals and accompanying Mycetic Spores entering the Gravity Pause near Aprior Stellar Secundus. Movements appear to be to Nyx, Hydra, and- Scratch that report, They're avoiding the moon of Nyx. The rest of the fleet seems to be heading to Aprior Primus, our homeworld."
Garven twisted his arms about under a massive set of grey robes. Before giving any orders, he turned to a servitor to order it to retrieve his power armor. "Now-.. Send commands to the Ward of Saint Pius, Ward of Saint Emelia, Battler Errant, and Aprior's Finest. Send all crew to their battle stations alert one, bring all guns to the forward position and engage engines. Link up to Battlegroup one, set to my personal group. Send a message to Darren's ships and allies, set to battlegroup two and standby for jump. Battlegroup two will receive an encrypted band of signals, upon receiving they shall engage their jump drives to a position and formation I dictate."
His crew scrambled to transmit orders to the nearby frigates and battle barges, each in turn scrambled over the vox frequencies as a buzz of activities. "To my Battlegroup. Set engines to Burnout! One hundred and sixty percent of the safe values, engage Dive-Systems, match FTL Vectors to the Radiant Dawn." The Captain watched in earnest as his battlegroup followed the orders, and all preparations were made. "And finally, Helmsman, plot a course to a retrograde orbit of Nyx. Ignore all warnings of Narvhals in orbit of the planet.
The Ship lurched into motion, turning frighteningly fast for a ship of its size. All four of the Radiant Dawn's engines roared to life, and then continued to create a titanic noise that shook the entire hull for many more minutes. When the Dive-System engaged, the crew collectively felt as the entire universe was simply shunted closer to them. Everyone was sucked into the nearest wall, or seat restraints as their velocity rose. The Tyranid scout cluster rose into view, and then a Narvhal slammed directly across the brow of Radiant Dawn. Ichor splattered over the ship, but it remained undaunted in its maneuver.
When the Radiant Dawn arrived at Nyx, it came with four other ships, and met the entire right-hand flank of Jormungandr's scout fleet. Guns roared as Lance batteries cut open the Tyranid ships like a bolter through supple flesh, as they cleared a path through the mess of scouts and transports. Garven's battlegroup swung around the gravity well provided by Nyx, and came face to face with an overwhelming mass of smaller xenos vessels.
"Distance to the bulk of the xenos bioforms is eighty kilometers and closing in eight minutes. We have our gunnery crews clearing up the stragglers, but how should we proceed?" One of Garven's senior officers looked to the captain as he gave his notices. Brias quietly contemplated the feeds coming in for a few moments, and in his mind he considered a few decent options.
Brias finally settled in his own personal helmet and sealed it, as a more specialized form of Tactical Autosenses engaged. "The Radiant Dawn, Battler Errant, and Aprior's Finest will deploy all thirty of their lightning squadrons. Ward of Saint Pius and Ward of Saint Emelia will deploy half squadrons, keeping the rest in reserves."
Brias watched as the mass of Tyranid ships slowly lurched towards his fleet, but the bulk of them stayed back in reserves to launch more mycetic spores. His senior captains relayed the orders to his whole fleet, and within two minutes he started receiving notices of fighter squadrons launching. "It's not enough, send orders to the fleet to take a Claw Formation with my ship as the Convex, and move the Concave Focal Point to stern, mark negative thirty degrees Z to stern."
His Senior Officer balked at the orders, and was nearly about to protest them when Garven continued. "When you're finished, have the reserve fighters form a Wall Formation on the X-Y plane directly above our ships. Then move this whole formation directly below the xenos, initiate quarter-burn.
Without the full burn of his ships superior thrusters, Garven's fleet made its formation changes in three minutes. Only the most senior of officers were able to match the Captain's wits realized how suicidal the maneuver was. Sensing the Aprior fleet moving into a poor position, the Tyranids shifted their entire mass directly towards Garven, while outright ignoring the planets surface. They surged forwards, greatly increasing speed as the swarm formed an outstretched tendril.
Just two minutes before contact could be made, Garven flew into action. "ALL SHIPS, FULL BURN! Shift our focal point to directly face the xenos, and surround them! Execute transmission code charlie-sierra-echo" His officers quickly relayed commands, and the entire fleet seemingly turned as a single being not unlike the Tyranids. With an agility unlike anything the hive mind has ever witnessed, Garven's ships suddenly broke from a poor position, into one that quite suddenly ensnared the tendril in the grasp of its claws. Only the rear of the hive remained open, but it was surrounded in five different directions as ships laid into the mass with all guns.
The Hive wavered momentarily, then it surged out along two directions to try and break out of the claw. It had failed utterly to react to the pair of tau tigershark carriers that translated directly above it, led by the command of Captain Darren upon receiving of his commands. With only a few moments to spare, the tigersharks launched into an assault on the tendrils that were about to engage Garven's claw arms, cutting them off from the mass. As one, they all fired directly into the core of the xenos mass, dissolving it under combined fire of Lance, Cannon, Missiles, Torpedos, and Rail.
"CLEAR UP, all ships fire at will against the unengaged Mycetic spores! The enemy defenses are down, prepare to repel planetary invasions!"
The former Ship Master of one of the Knights Inductors' vaunted Battle Barges, he was called back into field service when the previous Captain of the 8th Company went missing in one of the excursions to The Dead Stars and has since taken up the post of Master of Ordnance. He has an unhealthy fascination with orbital bombardments and doesn't hesitate to use one, or two, or three when he is authorized to do so with no civilians in sight. He, like most other Knights, disdains from close-ranged combat and applies his considerable range-gauging skills with back line units like the Suppressors, utilizing his Tactical-Sense upgraded helmet to calculate firing trajectories perfectly. It's just as well that he's not a diplomat, or else the majority of his negotiations attempts would likely end with a surprise: spontaneous, sustained space to surface bombardment of massive proportions.Name | WS | BS | S | T | W | M | A | Ld | Sv |

6th Company Captain Xavion, Master of the Hunters - 185pts[edit]
"I swear I will avenge Xerxes and all those whom the Necrons took from us!"
The 6th captain took up position down a hall, just a scant few feet from where Garven was setting in coordinates for an orbital strike. He leveled off Mandate down the hall as an endless pattering of heavy hooves clattered just out of sight. When the Daemons stomped into sight, he depressed the trigger of his bolter and barked out a withering hail of shredder fire. Explosive fragments of tungsten tore through the Daemons, and sent flesh scattering in gore to cover every nearby surface. Twenty seconds of fire continued, during which Mandate's compensator deformed to such an extreme that molten metal dripped into the bolts and flew off in shimmering droplets, and the light produced was as great as that of a plasma gun.
The light stopped then as the last daemon fell, and Mandate ran with a dry rapid clicking. Both drum-magazines revved like chainswords as their twin machine spirits attempted in vain to load bolts that didn't exist into the barrels. Xavion ignited his power sword, braced Mandate against his knee, and lopped off the molten compensator. He slotted in another set of Double-drum magazines and chambered a bolt just in time to hear more clattering hooves down the corridor. "Last Magazine Garven! I can give you twenty more seconds, so hurry up and get those harbingers on the portal!" In the farthest corner of his mind, he could hear the machine spirits of Mandate whispering in assertion that the daemons must die. They hungered for foes to slay, he knew, and he obeyed by leveling it off again. Xavion offered a prayer to the Machine Spirits as Gajet taught him to do. He prayed to his armor; that it would help guide his hands as they steadied mandate, and the servos whined in assertion as his arms locked up tight.
Just then, a Bloodthirster squeezed itself around the corridor and roared at Xavion.
The jaded former Veteran Sergeant of the legendary Silent Hands Sternguard Veteran teams. He is acclaimed throughout the Knights Inductor for his uncanny skill with the boltgun, produced by a latent talent and malfunction in his gene-seed. He, due to some twist of fate, lacks the Null trait, still has the full set of functional extra organs, and can receive hypnotherapy like any other regular Space Marine. He as a result of his particular set of skills rose quickly through the Scouts, Incursion, and Suppressor squads before receiving his station in Phoenix Tactical squad of 6th Company. But fresh on this new tour of duty, he witnessed the wholesale slaughter of two Tactical squads and over 200 scientific and security personnel at the hands of former Sergeant Xerxes, who had been contained as a Null Knight. The first to be discovered and last to be attempted treatment on.
After witnessing such a horrific event he dedicated himself to the task of hunting down the Null Knights personally with the brothers of 6th Company at his side. However his lack of resistance to the Warp has the double effect of instilling a sense of unease when around his closest comrades, and the whispers of the Warp caress his mind, searching for a weak point in his soul armor. However his mind is always focused on one goal: the freeing of his brothers from the Necron taint. His personal combat servo-skull, fashioned from the skull of Null Knight Xerxes, serves as a constant reminder of what needs to be done. Only then will his brothers know rest. Only when they finally return the dead to their rightful tombs.

Honor Guardian Ferrus, The Heart of Iron - 85pts[edit]
"I am the Shield of my Brothers, Let the hand that falls to them, fall to me instead!"
"Iston i nif gin..." The wraithguard swept its great weapon across the halls of the Ward of Saint Pius, as the soul inside whispered out in a calling for its prey. "Am man, iston i nif lin?.. Faica Vuin, Morai-heg. Why do you serve these mortals.." The ancient spirit looked down upon a mortal that stared at it with a mighty shield. More mortals stood behind this one, one of which carried a great hammer and was shouting orders.
The ancient heard whispers in its shell to take the souls of this mortal. It obeyed, and swept with it's scythe across the one who carried a shield. He tried to cut the chord that held the mortals soul, but the chord was guarded tight by an arcane force. Again, and again the ancient swept its scythe over the mortal, and still the mortal stood.
Sergeant Ferrus charged forth, with Zakis Randi marching quickly behind him as he slammed right into the wraithguard. He felt groggy, weakened and injured, yet with not a single mark on his body to show for it. The great guardian slogged into the ancient's fist, but he was unbroken by it. He knew only one thing then, and that was to stand and take the scythe for his Lord.
Ferrus then parted his body aside like water as Zakis brought down the Judgement Gavel into the wraithguard. With one strike the ancient being crumpled. And another strike fell as Ferrus crushed its spirit stone to stop the construct from moving again.
Sergeant Ferrus has served with utmost distinction in the Chapter Master's personal guard, acting as his figurative and literal shield in some of the most brutal fighting of the Chapter's history. When Zakis Randi laid broken in body at the hands of Null Knight Tertius, it was Sergeant Ferrus who took up his shield to fend off the tank-rending blows of the Null Knight until Captain Xavion could place the final shot to end the threat. Though not wielding a standard weapon, it is said that not even the most skilled of warriors can force down his guard. He can be best be described as tenacious, self-sacrificing and unwilling to rest even if he is struck down. For him, not even his duty may end in mere death...Name | WS | BS | S | T | W | M | A | Ld | Sv |

Tactical Squad - 96pts[edit]
"By this oath of Conviction, I give my life to the God Emperor! May I stand firm in the lines of battle. By this Oath, my Soul is Steel, my Mind is a Fortress, and my Armor is Indestructible!"
Like most Space Marine Chapters, tactical squads within the Knights Inductor are the backbone of any battleforce the Knights Inductor send out. By this point a tactical Knight will have been thoroughly trained in covert warfare and suppressive actions in less than lethal situations, and highly adaptable to both. They most critically enjoy access to standard squad issue wargear that can be requested on a per-mission basis, provided they get approval from the armory through their commanding officers, or by proving the need for the specific equipment themselves by simple explanation. Thus tactical squads can take more specialized roles as either active fire support with mark-sense and flash bolts, or night-time action teams equipped with night-vision equipment, camo cloaks and suppressed equipment.

Scout Squad - 78pts[edit]
"Check your aim, we'll only get one shot at this!"
"Squad Reimos! Run the course again! Your time is twenty two, point three eight terran seconds, short eight, point three seconds off the record." The 6th Company Captain's voice boomed out over the training course' vox-casters. At his beck and call, "STACK UP REIMOS, you won't get another attempt!", Sargent Reimos gestured his men to stack up at a plasticrete door frame. Bolter magazines were exchanged for fresh sets, and slides were racked in tune to the call.
A servitor spoke out in it's grainy voice as machines slid into place in the many rooms beyond. "Live-targets released into the facility. All Ork specimens are accounted for." Reimos gritted his teeth behind a wide-visor. "Mark, sync-.." Calls followed as his five squadmates returned, "Mark!"
Each one moved swiftly into the room, as shocks jolted through their legs to punish each and every noise made. The aspirants stormed through one living room of the mock hive, and gunned down an Ork Boy just as he raised a choppa to turn upon them. Reimos spent orders with dry clicks in his throat to give a Knee-down command, and each marine followed. More clicks followed as he unloaded the first-burst phosphorous rounds into an approaching Boy, and in tune the Silent Hands unleashed death upon the greenskins as they moved in. Each one felled with precise fire, but not quite precise enough.
In the chaos of the firefight, one boy managed to stomp through the corpses of his fellows and brought a choppa down into Reimos' collar. It bit down hard into his armor, but the helmet only barely held off a killing blow. His fellow retaliated in turn by driving his combat knife through the greenskin's skull. With the room cleared, he looked up in time to see Xavion's dissaproval. "Squad Reimos, tutelage with my company is now terminated."
The captain swept his hands out across the view from his mezzanine, "Report your failure back to the tenth captain, and hope he grants you mercy."
The Knights Inductor are entirely unique in how they handle the induction of chapter Aspirants. After induction into the 10th company, new Aspirants will first get used to fireteam level warfare, usually working in only small groups of 6 aspirants for operations requiring stealth. After ten years of harsh learning in the 10th company, all assigned scout squads are forced to undergo an extremely harsh test by the 6th company.
This test is meant to determine which aspirants show the greatest promise, and those who pass are fast-tracked straight into the 6th company in order to receive tactical training there. Only one out of every 100 squads that take the test ever pass it, for such is the strain that the 6th company captains put on those squads who make the attempt. Indeed, no two tests are ever identical, and are all explicitly designed for the prospective Sergeants to test them at their worst.
Those who fail the test of the Silent Hand are inducted instead into the 9th company, where they are taught the use of power armor alongside heavier weapons.

Guard Aspirants - 76pts[edit]
"I am honored to receive this armor, and these armaments denoting me as a candidate for Knighthood. I swear I will continue to uphold my duty in the service of the Knights Inductor..."
“Strike swiftly, and may the Emperor guide your aim,” voxed Knight Sergeant Ericus to the five-man Aspirant squad under his tutelage. Five seconds ago the pilot of the Valkyrie Avenger had told the squad to prepare to drop imminently. The passenger hold jerked from side to side as flakk rounds impacted the hull, but not one person lost their footing. The Avenger banked sharply.
A green light blinked in the helmets of all those in the hold.
Above the Chaos heavy weapons emplacement six grav-chutes activated, slowing the descent of the squad from terminal velocity to a mere breakneck speed as the hot shot lasguns of the aspirants opened up before their feet hit the ground. The cultists manning the heavy weapons were cut down in three seconds, the traitor Marine taking five, however even that was not fast enough.
A horde of cultists armed with ramshackle melee weapons closed in as the Aspirant squad finally landed, absorbing the impact with their trooper armor as they waded through the sporadic autogun fire aimed in their general direction. A primed seismic charge landed in the midst of the cultists shortly before pulverizing all but a handful of wounded who were cut down as they turned to flee. Without pause the squad continued; mortals, who dared to fight alongside a demi-god. There was a mission to complete.

Elites[edit]
Terminator Squads - 105pts[edit]
"Target in sight, permission to engage granted, deactivate cloaking and eliminate the target"
"Damn these accursed lackeys of the Corpse Emperor!" growled Chaos Lord Kezra as he crushed the command platform's railing gripped in his Terminator-armored gloves. "How could they have possibly followed us when the Warp currents favored us?"
"My Lord! Incoming teleport beams have been detected! They plan to board the command bridge! We cannot block them without the Void Shields!"
"Then let them come! If they so desire to let their blood for Khorne so much then let us prepare for their kind sacrifice! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!" ordered Kezra as his Daemon-infested Lightning Claws formed from the recesses of his armored gloves.
"SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!" answered his bloodthirsty crew with a savage roar. They gathered next to and around their Lord at the perimeter of the bridge, the center of which was the designated target of the teleport beams.
A sound like the air tearing into a thunder-clap of displaced air boomed in the bridge, signalling the arrival of... nothing at the epicenter. The surrounding Chaos Marines and assorted sycophants milled in confusion as they searched the room for signs of Terminators, which would supposedly be obvious to the naked eye, but they found nothing.
A Chaos Terminator noticed a blur and began to shout a warning when his head was blown off by a few dozen Assault Cannon AP rounds. "WHAT?!" shouted Kezra in further confusion as bolts materialized from thin air and his crew struck down by invisible hammers in a rapidly deteriorating fire fight as the Khornates fired wildly and swung their weapons at nothing.
Silencer Jezzel parried the furious blows of the Chaos Lord before activating the Electro-Shackles which bound Kezra, felling him to the floor of the bridge in an ungraceful armored heap. The Chaos Lord's lackeys laid slain all around him as he screamed Warp-tainted curses and struggled against the restraints which were reinforced by the application of more Shackles. His Lightning Claws moved with a will of their own, severely injuring the legs of one Assault Terminator before the Silencer smashed them with his Null Stave, obliterating both the Claws as well as the essence of the Daemon within them.
"Primary has been captured, Kaiser Team has confirmed the placement of the Vortex bombs at the approximate location of the Reactors of this accursed vessel... yes, we are ready for extraction... yes, the teleport beacon has been attached to the Primary, confirmed." the Silencer gestured to his men to get into position around the still-struggling Chaos Lord, "mark teleport in three, two, one, mark!"
Like in most other Chapters, Terminator squads are veterans of the Chapter that don the treasured Tactical Dreadnought Armor and undertake the most dangerous of missions and tasks that no others could. In particular within the Knights Inductor, they are highly valued for filling the niche of close quarters combat shock troops that other elements of the Knights Inductor have trouble filling. However they also often perform high-risk duties that other Chapters would most likely consider mundane, such as hostage rescue and diplomat esorting.
The preferred method of entry for Terminator squads is through complete and utter stealth when teleportation is dangerous or too conspicious. Specially silenced Terminator armor along with advanced light-bending cloaking allows Knights Inductor Terminators to appear a little less than a smudge in the air, even when moving. Though the massive power consumption of the cloaking disallows extensive use, it is more than enough to get Terminator squads right where they need to be, much to the unpleasant surprise of the enemyName | WS | BS | S | T | W | I | A | Ld | Sv |

Sternguard Veteran Squads - 138pts[edit]
"We are relatively few, but our actions shall dictate where the battle shall lead. It is up to us to keep our skills sharp and our gear in pristine condition"
The Ship drifted just shy of a dying orbit around its home planet. A cold and merciless behemoth bristling with missile salvos, spiraling towers, and glistening silver metal. As it maintained a vigil on the system around itself, another ship latched onto one of the rear compartments. The smaller ship; no bigger than a leech to it, was a Stormhawk. As soon as it made contact, a series of lascutters and probes entered the silver hide of its prey.
Inside this leech, sat the Silent Hands of the Knights Inductor. Each warrior was equipped in Mark VI warplate, painted to a standard urban camouflage, with a white stripe running down the back of the rear left thigh, signalling their presence to each other with an encoded IFF Band. The Sargeant of the squad, Darius, looked down at his auspex as he scanned the ship.
"The Atmosphere inside seems to consist a mix of eight percent carbon monoxide, sixty-one percent ammonia, and one percent gaseous acetic acid. Temperatures.. Three hundred centigrade." The Sergeant put down his auspex and looked to his squad, already locking in an alternate magazine for his stalker bolter. "Everyone, make sure your helmets are sealed. Secure kraken rounds, and shelve the plasma cannon, as well as the hellfire and stun rounds." He didn't need to tell his squad how fatal the environment inside the ship would be. They already knew from experience that the air mix could easily outright kill an Astartes within seconds.
To be finished
The ability to neutralize an opponent from range is a highly regarded one, hence why the Knights Inductor have an abnormally large amount of Sternguard Veteran squads within the Chapter. In order to perfect their skills most if not all Sternguard eschew specialized ammunition in favor of the deadly and versatile Stalker Pattern bolter. They are often tasked with the elimination of enemy specialists and leaders, using the extreme range of their bolters to safely complete the task. The most elite of these sharpshooters are the Silent-Hand veterans, whose time are spent on the sniper's range using standard boltguns to sharpen their aim, their sense of recoil, and their grasp of range above all else. Their shots are battle-changing, as they snipe enemy leaders, synapse creatures, and specialists alike with startling efficiency.Name | WS | BS | S | T | W | I | A | Ld | Sv |

Ghost Sergeant Jonnahas, Legend of Tertius Prime - 50pts[edit]
"My brothers-in-arms... you have done more than enough. Go! I will hold these monsters off for as long as I can!"
Sergeant Jonnahas is listed in the Halls of Remembrance on all of the Knights Inductor Battle Barges as an Honorary Brother Commandant of the Recruits. He had served with full honors during his tour of duty in the Guard Aspirants, but was unable to receive the implants due to <undisclosed> reasons. However he respectfully refused to return to Astra Militarum as an commander or the Scions Tempestus as a high-ranking officer and chose to partake in the trial to become an Astartes alongside the few other human Librarian recruits. Being an anomaly, Zakis Randi decided to test the stubborn Jonnahas and have him endure the Trials of Initiation that all augmented recruits (and unaugmented potential Librarians) go through to become Astartes. Though the trials were not meant for a human to take, he persevered when his body could no longer go on, standing at the end of the trials victorious, unconscious, by his sheer force of will.
He was chosen by the eccentric Maestro Gajet on occasion as an unaugmented test pilot for many of his creations, the last of which was the (now lost) Savior-Pattern Marauder Terminator Suit. Lost in the fierce battle to contain the daemonic incursion of the Warp Technology Workshop to allow the researchers to flee with precious data, he was last seen holding off a Khorne Greater Daemon when it appeared that the fail-safe on the suit was detonated. However fate seemed to have other plans for the Ghost of the Lost Workshop, as continued sightings of the suit have been reported at times, though the reports remain for the most part unsubstantiated...Name | WS | BS | S | T | W | I | A | Ld | Sv |

Valkyrie Avenger Squadron - 200pts[edit]
"Incoming traitor Flakk fire... Ceramite shielding holding, discharging chaff and re-engaging. Five Hydras down, five more to go..."
Techmarine Marius held the throttle of his Valkyrie completely to full, with the safeties completely disengaged. He felt the spirits of his craft crying out in pain as their engines rapidly approached burnout, and the winglets threatened to fly apart from the sheer dynamic pressure. Marius closed his eyes and offered a prayer to the machine spirits to soothe them, and thirty seconds later he dropped the throttle and banked hard to slow the very extension of his body.
A congregation of Traitor vehicles gathered at top speed to reach his brothers, he had to stop them. Marius turned his wings and fell upon them with a full barrage of lascannons. One tank swelled from the blistering energy and exploded with such a force that waves of energy shook his cockpit. Marius swept around for a second pass and repeated the same action with the second tank, when Flak rounds swept through his cockpit. The armored glass held for only a few brief moments before he felt his own power armor's spirits cry out in pain.
His vision quickly crept into darkness, and for one final effort, Marius activated his deployment clamps to release the dreadnought from the back of his now failing body...
- The Knights Inductor have been quite unfortunate in their relations with the Mechanicus. Given their status as Tech Heretics, they have been largely unable to obtain the STC copies needed to construct some of the more recent discoveries that other space marine chapters favor to use. As a result they have been forced to commandeer equipment normally used by Guard Regiments.
- The valkyrie transport is one such design, used to fulfill a fast attack and aerial transport role. It is notably inferior to space marine Stormravens, due to a lack of heavier armor, greater transport capacity, and weaponry. The Knights have been able to modify these to use more heavier equipment and to ferry around marines.

Heavy Support[edit]
Suppressor Squad - 96pts[edit]
"We will provide you with support brothers, fear not the enemies' charge."
Sargent Mark adjusted the environment seals of his new helmet, and tapped the Transparent Armiplas that constituted the visor that stretched between both of his ears. At the behest of a Techpriest, he focused his will into the spirits of the helmet to activate its Autosenses. In response he felt what could only be described as a small pinch as the helmet locked into his carapace, and a green light limned over his battle brothers silhouettes. "The helmet works, and it's responding to my carapace. Shall we start the Tactical Autosense test?"
Gajet; wearing the same helmet as Sargent Mark, nodded to the marine as he pulled some switches to summon servitors down the ship's firing range. The Servitors crouched down behind some cover, and started moving quickly as a team to obfuscate their location. "Focus on your enemies Sargent. I have disabled their IFF Tags so you can mark them for your squad."
Mark nodded under his unmoving helmet, then took a knee before his squad. From clicks he signaled they also took cover with him and leveled off Bolters. The Sargent focused his gaze upon one of the servitors darting its head about, until a red silhouette appeared around its body. He felt that so long as he kept his gaze upon the servitors, the silhouettes remained even when they moved behind cover. In turn his squad began firing into the Silhouettes, until the firing drill finished and all eight servitors lain as smoking ruins.

Lords of War[edit]
Silencer Alpha Rachnus Pacifus, Lord of the Nullarium - 325pts[edit]
"The greatest abyss to ever grace a battlefield has come for you. The very name of Rachnus will swallow the souls of all who would oppose mankind, and even the fearless shall find themselves quaking in their boots."
Lord Crannon vainly lifted his combi-bolter, and racked across its slide to chamber the next magazine. Beside him there was a whole team of the finest terminators he could muster, yet all of them screamed out in agony. They clutched their helmets and dropped their weapons, one even plunging his blade into his own skull to escape whatever terrors plagued his mind. When Crannon finally marched down to the end of the ship's corridor, there was a room with all light sucked away from it.
The darkness opened its eyes, and then concentrated its essence into a point so miniscule, that he could see the entirety of time screeching to a halt around the form. He tried to steel himself and hold firm, but with every passing second his mind crumbled further, and the psychic energies he commanded sputtered into nothingness. The Lord held up his armored glove to fire mind-bullets, but they fizzled just inches from the fingertips. And still, the darkness marched closer to him.
To his eyes, he saw his hands shredded to pieces, and then elongated to miles and miles apart. Until the tips of his fingers stretched so far away from the rest of his body that they shifted red and black, then vanished into nothing. Crannon depressed the triggers of his combi-bolter into the black hole, and for a time they seemed to dissipate its form. But then he found a shadow pinning his body to the floor, and dark fingers plunged into his eyes. He screamed once, and then his mind ceased all existence.
With its prey destroyed, the shadow ceased to focus its aura. Like a changeling, it took on the form of a space marine in terminator armor. It's green eyes depressed far into the creature's skull, and a faintly metalic skin clung to its cheeks. Rachnus removed his staff from the Chaos Lord's armor, and calmly noted with his autosenses that the lord was alive, and yet somehow not. He could hear the lord's two hearts beating to such a perfectly flat tune, that no living brain could possibly control its movement. "The Warlord is dead, I will euthanize him now." Rachnus spoke in a flat monotone over his vox, then leveled off a plasma pistol to Crannon's hearts.
Rachnus Pacifus is, and will likely be the most powerful psychic null to have ever been born in Aprior. Upon his birth, the uncontrolled aura from the newborn blank was of such power that the over thirty thousand staff of the hive hospital succumbed to it within seconds. Three squads of tactical marines were dispatched to the hospital to secure the area retrieve him, but it was quickly found that only a silencer could get near the child. Since that incident, Rachnus was raised solely by the Nullarium, in a facility kept secret in the polar ice caps of Aprior Secundus. He was implanted with the gene-seed of the Knights Inductor in the year M41:952, and has been in service with the Knights Inductor since then.
Though the Null-Lord was groomed to be a leader for the Knights Inductor, extreme isolation has stunted his mind to such an extreme that he can barely stand the presence of other people. Rachnus speaks only to the other silencers of the Nullarium, and remains inside a warded isolation chamber on Aprior Secundus until called to battle. His aura is also of such an extreme degree of power that he can only be transported inside of his isolation chamber, as his unshielded presence is enough to outright kill Astropaths aboard ships.
Perhaps someday the Lord will will learn to control his aura to an extent that Zakis Randi finds acceptable. But until then his duties are relegated to training lesser silencers that the chapter finds great use in.

- The Ultimate Void - Null Charge Cost: 3. This is a Blessing that targets Rachnus. When activated all enemies within 12" do not benefit from the And They Shall Know No Fear and Fearless special rules if they have it. Friendly units within the radius lose 1 leadership as well.

- When Needed Only - The Maxima Marauder is a weapon of incredible destructive potential that cannot restrain itself in battle, for fear of its own destruction and the loss of an incredibly valuable piece of technology. As such, the Knights only field the Maxima Marauder in times of desperate need or in extremely large battles. The Maxima Pattern Marauder Warsuit cannot be taken in games smaller than 1650 points.
A Note on the Maxima Marauder The model has much the same dimensions of a regular Imperial Knight, only more bulky in the limbs and less rounded in the body and shoulders. The model is literally a supersized regular Marauder.

Against Gargantuan Creatures and Super-Heavy Vehicles, the Lux Prismatic Halberd will always hit on a 3+ unless the target is Invisible.
- In Darkness, Light! - The Lux Prismatic Halberd constantly glows with an incredible light. This light grows tenfold if it strikes a target. For every successful hit made in Close Combat by the wielder of the Lux Prismatic Halberd, every model, friend or foe within 12" must take a blind check (except for the wielder of the Halberd itself). Models within 6" take the check with a -2I penalty.

Predator Avalon - 450pts[edit]
"I am the Lady of the Lake, reborn in armor clad. Excalibur will be my Blade, a shining light to pierce the eternal darkness."
"What the hell do you mean? That tank is running without its pilot?" Captain Darren grabbed one of his techmarines aside, and stared daggers into the heretek's eyes. "How long has your brother been dead?"
The Techmarine stared back with a frozen expression, which wasn't hidden at all behind the wide-stretched plate of his marksman visor. "He's been dead for eight hours. The Avalon is running on its machine spirits." He glanced down at the holograph displaying a drawn out battle. Blue box-figures sat stationary while the terrain, and a line of red chevrons sat still on the terrain. At the back of the boxes was a star representing the Avalon in question. "It's a wonderful tank-.. For the first one I coaxed many spirits into its shell. Many spirits yes, many kinds too."
Darren threw the Techmarine down to his feet, drawing his sword in one hand while he clicked open a Vox Channel to the Avalon. "AVALON, Cease your advance and return to the nearest squad for pickup!" He placed his sword at the Techmarine's collar just before he could get up. "AVALON, Cease your advance now!" In response the Blue Star on the table ceased its relative movement for just a moment, then a pair of red dots appeared under its symbol to indicate combat engagement. In response to Darren's call, a decidedly feminine voice responded to him; though it sounded closer to a servitor than a human, "Avalon One engaging the Eldar. Praetor, it is good to hear your voice.."
Captain Darren sliced a hole in the Marks-visor to expose Techmarine Gaius to the air, just as a reminder that darren could end him at any time. The Captain watched helplessly then to the table as the Avalon tank disobeyed his orders. It spoke with a calm voice, having no malice or contempt. One by one the Red Boxes blinked out, in turn after a bright red circle appeared under the star to show weapon engagement. The predator support fell apart shortly afterwards from returning fire, but the Avalon kept going after its Lesser compatriots ceased. "Praetor, I give you this offering of Eldar Souls, appreciate it. We will talk later when I have decided this battle for you."

Predator Avalon | 5 | 14 | 13 | 11 | 4 |
- Unit Composition: 1 Predator Avalon
- Unit Type: Fast Vehicle (Tank)
- Wargear:
- Refractive Shield Plating, Vehicular Nanomites, Empowered Machine Spirit
- Excalibur-Class Prismatic Lancing Cannon:
Name | Range | S | AP | type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Excalibur Cannon | 60" | D | 1 | Ordnance 1, Prismatic Diffraction* |
Diffracted Lance | 60" | 8 | 2 | Ordnance 1, Lance |
- Prismatic Diffraction- Instead of firing the given profile, you may instead fire using the Diffracted Lance profile. Choose any one point within 60" and roll for scatter. All vehicles within 6" of the point and in LoS take D3 hits from the PLC. All other non-vehicle units within 6" and LoS take D6 hits. All hits are treated as coming from the central point for the purposes of determining line of sight and cover saves.
- Special Rules: Omnissiah's Bounty
- Avalon Shield- The Predator Avalon carries with it two Cold Fusion-powered Void Shield generators. This grants the Avalon two Void Shields, which must be destroyed before it can begin taking damage from other weapons. One layer of shielding can be recovered on a 5+ at the start of your turn, two rolls may be made if the tank doesn't move. Note that Refractive Shield Plating does not grant saves for hits on the Void Shield.
- Supernova- The Avalon's dual-Fusion generators are quite fragile and are prone to exploding violently. Should the Avalon be destroyed or wrecked by any means, immediately roll on the Catastrophic Damage table with a +2 modifier, and resolve for the result. Afterwards remove the model from play.
- Engine Overcharge- The Avalon's enhanced Cold Fusion reactor can provide the tank an amount of power far greater than its requirements, allowing the Avalon to move at greater speeds. When determining the amount of distance that Combat and Cruising Speed provide, add 12"
- Power System Overload: At the end of your turn; if the Avalon has moved at least 24", roll a d6. On a 1 the Avalon immediately loses a hull point with no saves of any kind allowed. This loss of a hull point bypasses the Avalon's Void Shields, if those are currently active.
Bonus Mission Add-on: Apprehend at All Costs![edit]
This bonus mission/objective can be added to a standard game of Warhammer 40,000 if one or more players army is playing with a Primary Detachment using Codex: Knights Inductor, replacing the Inquisitorial Objective. This may also be played standalone with standard deployment rules. While the main codex details the Knights Inductor in their full battle array against the numerous foes of mankind, this bonus mission will allow you to play the Knights Inductor in one of their sub-lethal engagements to subdue the enemy. While the finer details are left up to you, you can imagine them as attempting to gain enemy intel through capturing key figures in the enemy army, and attempting to successfully extract them from battle into custody! Oh, and their hands are tied, just cause.
Bonus Objective: Capture and Apprehend[edit]
The Knight Inductor player must set a marker in a friendly deployment zone when deploying their army. Within 6" of the marker is the POW/Containment Camp, where captured enemy models will be placed. This Objective may be controlled by either player if a unit is within 6" of the objective.
- Captured: Models that can be subjugated are enemy characters and monstrous creatures. These models are considered captured and are sent to the POW Camp if they lose their final wound under the following conditions:
- Disoriented: The model lost its last wound whilst under the effect of Pinning, Blind, Stunning or Strikedown
- Bound: The model lost its last wound whilst under the effects of Electro-Shackles
- Knocked out: The model lost its last wound to Tranq bolts, Stun bolts, Shock weapons, or the Sword of Pacification.
- Apprehended/Released: If there is at least one prisoner in the POW Camp remaining by the end of the game, the Knights Inductor player gains 1VP. The Knights Inductor player automatically loses the game if the enemy has control of the POW camp by the end of the game. The Knights Inductor also automatically win if the Warlord is successfully captured by the end of the game.
Modified Army List[edit]
A Knight Inductor army when attempting to subjugate the enemy with minimal casualties on both sides are naturally limited in their choice of wargear, and thus have the following limitations to illustrate as such.
- With Reasonable Force: All Knights Inductor cannot use a weapon in close combat or shooting with a greater (less than) AP than the armor save value of a target enemy unit. The only exceptions are that AP6 weapons may be used against a unit that lacks an armor save, and these limitations do not apply when targeting vehicles and monstrous creatures of all kinds.
- Sub-lethal Armory Support: All Knight Inductor units get Tranq bolts and Shock Batons standard at no extra cost.
Extra Wargear[edit]
These pieces of wargear count towards capturing an enemy. Drain net Grenades may be taken for 1pt (or free if exchanged for Blind grenades) in the Squad Issue Wargear section. Drain net Guns may be taken for 5pts in the Squad Issue Wargear section.
- Drain Net Grenade: This is a specialized defensive grenade that sends out a net woven of energy draining fiber binds.
Name | Range | S | AP | Type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Net Grenade | 8" | X | - | Assault 1, Blast, Poisoned (3+), Bind* |
- Bind- A unit hit by a weapon with this rule must take a Strength test or be forced to go to ground. Units that fail that are unable to go to ground must instead fire Snap Shots until the end of their next turn.
- Drain Net Gun: Utilizing the same draining fiber binds in Drain net grenades, these spray in a conical fashion to subdue a swathe of enemies efficiently.
Name | Range | S | AP | Type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Net Gun | Template | X | - | Assault 1, Poisoned (3+), Bind* |
Codex PDF vII (WIP)[edit]
I was initially writing it 5th edition style, but since 7th edition is a bit more streamlined I have taken to re-doing the entries in 7E format. This will allow for the crunch to be more easily translated and readable.

Previous Out-dated PDF for Codex: Knights Inductor: [[1]]
Codex Google Document[edit]
Unfortunately, the previous attempts at making a PDF have gone considerably behind the development of the codex. As of now, I have started a Google Document, by which anyone viewing this Wiki may edit and comment freely in an attempt to create a working, printable Codex for the Knights Inductor. http://1d4chan.org/wiki/User:Evilexecutive
[2] Dump Page, please just use this for prepping work on other pages. Every other page listed MUST be formatted for use in a PDF. So help me God Emperor, I will mercilessly delete changes that involve flat-out copypasting things from the wiki to fill out, instead of fluff writing. Crunch copying is fine. -Evilexecutive

[17] Silencer Alpha Rachnus Pacifus
[18] Chief Librarian Zecherius

I would like to say this here, before anyone else bothers to hop on. The point of the Google Document is to have a printable codex, like the GW publications. Which means things need to be reformatted now.
By the God Emperor's Light, please stop just copypasting contents of the wiki into the Google Document. It's pretty counterproductive, especially now that the document looks like someone shit all over it.
Gallery[edit]
Pictures of Armies go here. Please keep it to Knights Inductor pictures, either Ceremonial Colors or Camo colors.

Don't mistake his helmet for a lack of importance. Garven's helmet is a special pattern endemic to the Aprior Sector, and contains a wealth of sensor suites designed to work with Tactical Autosenses, as well as to help coordinate orbital fire.
