Dataslate Assassins
Dataslate Assassins
The Officio Assassinorum is one of the most secretive and feared regimes of the Imperium of man. They answer only to the High
Lords of Terra and the Master Assassins of their respective temples.
ASSASSINS
Assassins are an Army List Entry that can be selected as an Elite choice in a detachment chosen from either Codex: Inquisition,
Codex:Grey Knights, or Codex:Sisters of Battle. You may include one Assassin in your army and one Assassin for every 1000 points past
the first 1000 points (ex. 2 Assassins in a 2000 point game).

This weapon cannot harm vehicles.
SPECIAL RULES:
A word in Your Ear...: The player with the Callidus Assassin
can move one enemy unit up to 6 after both sides have
deployed, but before the first turn starts, as if the unit had
made a move action, but ignoring difficult and dangerous and
terrain. The units new position must be within the normal
deployment zone outside of dangerous terrain, and the
owning player may choose the facing of the unit after it has
been moved. Multiple Callidus Assassins may use this special
rule consecutively to move the same unit.
Jump Back: At the start of the Fight sub-phase, the Callidus
Assassin can attempt to disengage from combat. Roll a D6
on a roll of a 1 she fails to disengage and must fight on in the
combat normally, on a roll of 2 or more she moves that many
inches away from the enemy. This move cannot be used to
move into contact with a different enemy model. If this leaves
the enemy unit unengaged, they may make a consolidate
move at the end of the Assault phase.
Lightning Reflexes: Assassins have a 4+ Invulnerable save.
Lone Agent: An Assassin may not join a unit or be joined by
an Indedpendent Character.
Poison Blades: If the Callidus Assassin is still in base contact
with an enemy model at the end of the Assault phase, after all
combats have been resolved, she may make an extra attack
with her Poisoned Blades. This attack always wounds on a 4+.

SPECIAL RULES:
Life Drain: The Culexus Assassin may use this ability when
in close combat with a Psyker. The Psyker must take a
Leadership test with a -2 penalty to Leadership which is
cumulative with the Soulless rule. If they fail the Leadership
test, the Psyker loses 1 Wound, with no saving throws of any
type allowed (not even Invulnerable saves). This is worked out
at the start of the Fight sub-phase and wounds inflicted by this
attack count towards the combat resolution. All other close
combat attacks are worked out as normal. This power can only
be used to affect one Psyker per turn.
Lightning Reflexes: Assassins have a 4+ Invulnerable save.
Lone Agent: An Assassin may not join a unit or be joined by
an Indedpendent Character.
Psychic Abomination: Any Psyker within 6 of the Culexus
Assassin at the start of their turn must pass a Morale check
or fall back. If they are with a unit, then the unit will also fall
back.
Psyker Assassin: The Culexus Assassin can always target and
allocate Wounds to a Psyker, the Psyker may not make a Look
Out, Sir roll. The Culexus Assassin may ignore other models
when charging into an assault if this will allow it to get into
contact with a Psyker.
Soulless: Any unit (friend or foe) with a model within 12 of
the Culexus Assassin counts as having Leadership 7, unless it
would normally be less than this.

ARMOUR
SYNSKIN
STEALTH SUIT
Stealth Suit confers a 4+ Armour Save and Feel No Pain (6+) and
counts as a Camo Cloak.
Auspexes can surveil the immediate surrounding. They are often used
to target enemies dug into cover and enhance the targeting of friendly
weapon systems.
A model with an Auspex can use it in place of making a
shooting attack. If he does so, target an enemy unit within 12
(this does not count as choosing a target for his unit to shoot
at). A unit that is targeted by one or more Auspexes has its cover
saves reduced by 1 until the end of the phase.
CAMO CLOAK
ETHERIUM
The Culexus Assassin uses an Aegis System known as the Etherium. The
Etherium enhances the Culexuss own anti-psychic field and their
natural aura of disomfort making them hard to target or hit in combat.
Any unit wishing to shoot at or charge the Culexus Assassin
must first pass a Leadership test on 3D6 (vehicles count as
Leadership 10). If the test is failed they may not target the
Assassin, but may attack another target instead. The Culexus
Assassin is unaffected by all Psychic powers.
