Wargear: Nemesis force weapon (treat as if being wielded by a Grand Master), storm bolter, Grimoire of True Names, Terminator armour (2+ save, 5+ Invulnerable save, +1 Attack – included above).
Psychic Powers: Brother-Captain Stern is a trained psyker and can use the Holocaust and Hammerhand psychic powers.
Special Rules
Independent Character: Unless accompanied by a bodyguard, Brother-Captain Stern is an independent character and follows all of the rules for characters in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook. If his bodyguard is destroyed, Stern becomes an independent character again and is free to join other units.
Bodyguard: Brother-Captain Stern may be accompanied by a retinue of Grey Knight Terminators, as detailed on page 23.
The Strands of Fate: Although Stern's prodigious abilities allow him to achieve feats of true heroism, his nemesis M'Kachen does everything in his power to bring about his downfall and the ruin of Stern's allies. Brother-Captain Stern may re-roll one dice roll per phase, although he must accept the result of the second roll. Keep track of the number of times Stern uses this ability in a given player turn. His opponent may subsequently re-roll one of his own units' dice rolls per use of this ability, regardless of situation. Any re-rolls garnered in this way that are not utilised by the end of the player turn are lost.
Daemonic Nemesis: The Lord of Change, M'kachen, will do anything in his power to destroy Brother-Captain Stern and has confronted him in battle on more than one occasion. Any opponent using the Adversaries rules may upgrade their Greater Daemon of Chaos to a Lord of Change for no extra cost if they have the model to represent it (see Codex: Chaos Space Marines for details).
Errata — Chapter Approved: Codex: Daemonhunters Q&A (v1.0): The 1,500-point threshold to include Stern counts only units with an army list entry in Codex: Daemonhunters — allies do not count towards it. Stern does not count towards the army's 0-1 limit on Grey Knight Heroes.
