Special Rules

Vanquisher Battle Cannon: This cannon can fire special Anti-Tank (AT) shells that can smash through the thickest armour. Declare that you will fire an AT shell before you fire the cannon. AT shells have a range of 72" and a Strength of 8. Don't use the Ordnance blast template. Instead, roll to hit using the crews' BS of 3. If a hit is scored roll two D6 for Armour Penetration and add the scores together.

Veterans: The crew may be upgraded to Veteran status at a cost of +20 pts. A Veteran crew has one Battle Honour which is rolled for at the start of each battle from the Vehicle Battle Honours table on page 163 of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.
