THE BOOK OF THE UNFORGIVEN

The Book of the Unforgiven uses a combination of standard official rules and unique rules developed by the Inner Circle. Where the standard rules are appropriate they have been included while new rules have been added or additions made to standard official rules to maintain the army's core rules in line with the spirit of its background. These rules are supplementary to those described in the Codex: Spacemarines V4.0 and Codex: Dark Angels (V2.0) and the DA FAQ V 4.1.

"And they shall know no fear"

Any Ravenwing Bike squadrons, Attack Bike squadrons and Independant characters in a Ravenwing army may deploy using the "Scouts" universal special rule as described in the 40K v4.0 rulebook. "Veteran Bikers" Ravenwing bike squadrons are expert riders and incessantly practice battlefield maneuvering. As long as a bike squadron led by veteran sergeants moved a distance of 12" or less during the movement phase, bike squadron may elect to make a further 6" move during the assault phase, providing they pass a leadership test. They may fire normally during the shooting phase and characters on bikes may also use this tactic. This option is not available to attack bikes or to squadrons that have an attack bike attached.
