Cult Mechanicus- Translations of the 4 Formations/ Warlord Traits


Of course getting leaked images are one thing, actually being able to read them is another. The first leaks we saw were in German, followed by some in Spanish. A reader on the site is helping with some quick translations for us English only speakers. Here they are...


via a reader here on Faeit 212
here's a quick Translation for the Cult mechanicus leaks:

Battle Congrrgation special rules:
"Holy choire" - you can re-use an already used Canticle
Tech-adept - You can reroll Warlord Trait.

Warlord Traits:
1 - eternal warrior
2 - Chose 1 weapon, that weapon becomes master craftet, can choose relic
weapon
3 - Warlord can re-roll FnP
4 - Warlord or his unit can choose the result on the mysterious
objectives (?) instead of rollinga D6
5 - Warlords melee attacks have haywire
6 - when using Canticles, the warlord and his unit always have the
highest possible effect (as if there were 8 units with canticles on the
field)

Formations special rules:
Holy Requisitioner:
- Deepstrike
- All Units must be placed in deepstrike reserves, roll 1 D6 for the
entire formation
Tech priest must be placed first when arriving via deepstrike,
kataphrons dont scatter within 6" of the Tech priest
- when deepstriking near a mission objective, tech priest doesn't scatter
- as long as the kataphrons are within 6" of any mission objective, they
gain counterattack and zealot

Numinous Conclave:
- Crusader
- Corpuscarii electro priests within 6" of another unit Fulgurite
Priests get one extra shot. enemy units hit with these extra attacks get
"electrified"
- Fulgurite Priests can reroll to-wound rolls when fighting against
electrified targets

Elimination Maniple:
- when a Castelan Robot causes a wound/glancing hit/hit with a "Luminagen" weapon, Kataphron Destroyers gain BS +1 and Ignore cover till the end of the turn when attacking the same target

Cohort Cyberentica:
- Counts as 1 unit, tech-priest dominus cant leave the unit
- Tech-priest Dominus counts as Cybernetica Datasmith, chosen Kastelan
combatprotocol effects take effect at the end of the players turn
- During shooting phase, the Dominus or datasmith can, instead of
shooting, take control over one Kastelan Robot. for every
datasmith/dominus that chooses to do so, you can choose another target.
(its basicly split fire)
- this units counts as 3 units for the canticle special rule until
completley destroyed. this units counts as 3 units for victory points
when completley destroyed.
