Understanding the Core Components of the Assault Intercessor Datasheet
The SPACE MARINE ASSAULT INTERCESSOR Datasheet is more than just a stat block; it’s a comprehensive guide to understanding how these units function within the game. It breaks down their offensive and defensive capabilities, special rules, and wargear options. Accurately interpreting this information is paramount to successfully integrating Assault Intercessors into your army and exploiting their strengths.
Here’s a breakdown of key elements you’ll find on the datasheet:
- Movement (M): Dictates how far the unit can move during the Movement phase. Assault Intercessors are relatively quick, allowing them to close the gap with the enemy.
- Weapon Skill (WS) & Ballistic Skill (BS): These values determine the unit’s accuracy in melee combat and ranged attacks, respectively. Assault Intercessors excel in melee.
- Strength (S) & Toughness (T): These stats represent the unit’s physical power and resilience to damage.
- Wounds (W): The amount of damage a model can sustain before being removed from play.
- Attacks (A): The number of attacks a model makes in melee combat. Assault Intercessors are armed with chainswords and heavy bolt pistols, making them a dangerous opponent at close range.
- Leadership (Ld) & Save (Sv): These represent the unit’s morale and ability to resist damage.
The datasheet also details the Assault Intercessors’ wargear, special abilities, and any keywords that might synergize with other units or stratagems in your army. Learning these keywords unlocks tactical options that can greatly enhance their battlefield effectiveness. For example, the ‘Infantry’ keyword allows them to benefit from cover, while the ‘Adeptus Astartes’ keyword unlocks specific Space Marine stratagems.
Consider this example of how Weapon Skill plays out on the table:
| Weapon Skill (WS) | Melee Hit Roll Required |
|---|---|
| 3+ | Roll of 3 or higher on a D6 to hit. |
| 4+ | Roll of 4 or higher on a D6 to hit. |
