ROBOUTE GUILLIMAN, PRIMARCH OF THE XIII LEGION

“Lord of Macragge,” “Master of Ultramar,” “Ruler of Hosts,” “the Battle-King,” “the Victorious,” “the Blade of Unity,” “Big Bobby G”

“Held by some as a paragon among the Emperor’s sons, Roboute Guilliman is as much a patrician statesman as he is an indefatigable warrior. A being of preternatural intelligence, cold reason and indomitable will, Guilliman forged his Legion into a vast force of conquest and control, a weapon by which he made himself master of a domain which spanned five hundred worlds.”

WS: 7 BS: 6 S: 6 T: 6 W: 6 I: 6 A: 4 Ld: 10 Sv: 2+

Sire of the Ultramarines: Guilliman and any unit he joins may re-roll failed Charge distances and ignore effects of the Concussion special rule. All Ultramarines in the same army as Guilliman gain +1 Ld to a maximum of 10.  Invictarius Suzerain squads and Legion terminator units may be taken as troop choices.

Preternatural Strategy:

- if Guilliman is determined to have the first turn in a particular mission, the opposing side my re-roll successful attempts to Seize the Initiative.
- select a unit entry; units of this type now gain one of the following: Implacable Advance, Interceptor, or Tank Hunters (if they did not already possess it).
- when fighting in a challenge, Guilliman gains +1 WS on every round of continuous combat (to WS 8 on round 2, WS 9 on round 3, & so on).  This effect resets with each subsequent challenge.

Unyielding Will: Guilliman’s Leadership value is not subject to any negative modifiers and he may re-roll failed Deny the Witch tests.
