Warhammer 40,000 Trench Crusade Overlay
Warhammer 40,000 Trench Crusade Overlay
Introduction
What is this?
This is an overlay game of the Trench Crusade rules for the Warhammer 40k universe. It uses the core rules from
Trench Crusade, including Actions, Blood Markers, Injury rolls, Keywords, campaign system, etc., but will have its
own factions, equipment, mercenaries, and modified Core rules to make everything work better. For example the
addition of the Keyword Armour Penetrating called AP x for short. Simpler additions that make sense like that will
also be within this document.

Chapter Founding
When you create a Adeptus Astartes warband you may select up to three Codex Rules from the options below. If you are picking from the First or
Unknown Foundings section then you can only select options for that gene lineage(Unknown Founding is its own Gene-lineage for the purposes
of rules.) but you may still select any or multiple Core Founding rules to mix or match to even find your own Space Marine Chapter.
Core Foundings
(As the Codex belongs to all Chapters, it can selected alongside any First or Unknown Founding
chapters in addition to their own)
❖ Armour of Contempt: Reduce AP for all ranged attacks against your models by 1.
❖ Oath of Moment: At the beginning of the game, and the start of each turn, after all players have deployed
their models you may select one model from your opponent's warband that is deployed on the table, that model
is your warbands Oath. Until the end of your turn whenever an ADEPTUS ASTARTES model from warband attacks
your warbands Oath, add +1 to that attack.
❖ Combat Doctrines: After both players have deployed their warbands but before the battle begins, you must select your Combat
Doctrine for the battle, as seen below.
➢ Devastator Doctrine: Ignores Cover at Long Range if the model did not move.
➢ Tactical Doctrine: Enemy models never get free attacks against ADEPTUS ASTARTES models when they Retreat.
Additionally, ADEPTUS ASTARTES models can move out of Melee Combat using its Standard Move, Charge and Dash.
➢ Assault Doctrine: ADEPTUS ASTARTES models add +1 DICE to their Dash Actions.
❖ Litanies of Faith and Devotion: Space Marine Chaplains are exemplars of righteous wrath. Powerful orators and accomplished
warriors both, they provide bellicose counsel to their comrades and act as spiritual bastions for their Chapter. The litanies that
Chaplains intone on the battlefield imbue those around them with fresh determination and martial fury. In addition to the available
Litanies that Chaplains can recite, they may also select one of the following instead.
➢ Exhortation of Rage!: All friendly models that are within 8” of the Chaplain at the start of their Activation are not affected
by FEAR.
➢ Mantra of Strength!: Select one friendly model within 3” of the Priest and take a RISKY ACTION. If successful, the
warrior immediately stands up if Down, and loses up to D3 BLOOD MARKERS or INFECTION MARKERS (or any
combination) of your choice.
❖ Librarious Conclaves: Masters of the esoteric arts, Librarians are warrior mystics who unleash the power of the Warp onto the 41st
Millennium's battlefields. With crackling bolts of lightning and storms of telekinetic force, they smite the enemies of the Imperium,
serving their Chapter as both peerless loremasters and masterful battle leaders. In addition to the available Psychic Powers for the
Librarian, they may also select one of the following instead.
➢ Null Zone: Select a 1x1mm point on the battlefield that the PSYKER can see within 12” of itself and attempt a Risky
Action. If the Action was successful, place a 25mm base on that point and for the remainder of the battle with a 8” aura that
reads, “Any model within 8” of this point loses the benefit of armour. If it was an unsuccessful result of two 1’s the
PSYKER takes two BLOOD MARKERS instead and nothing else happens. You can only use this Psykic Power once per
battle. You can only have one of this Psykic Power in your Warband.
➢ Warp Sight: As an Action during the PSYKERS Activation they can attempt to peer into the Warp scout further ahead.
Select one friendly model that can be seen within 12” of the PSYKER, if the Action was successful you may use that
friendly model's sight for determining Line of Sight rules.
❖ First Company: Of the ten companies, the 1st still consists of the Chapter's most experienced Veterans, and is therefore the most
powerful. The Veterans of the 1st Company are still trained to fight in Terminator Armour. It is extremely rare for the Veteran
Company to be deployed en masse -- its units normally take to the field alongside the Chapter's Battle Companies. You can upgrade an
additional three Tactical Marines into Company Veterans.

Astartes Tactical Marine (Costs: 40 credits)
Tactical Squads are battleline squads. The most numerous and strategically versatile warriors in a Codex
Astartes compliant Chapter form battleline squads. They are flexible enough to press home an attack, or
hold a position with withering firepower. Whatever the strategic challenge, battleline are usually equal
to the task. Like their Assault Marine counterparts, the members of a Tactical tough as nails. The
Chaos Space Marines also use units equivalent to Tactical Marines, though they have less diversity in
weapons, are more vicious in melee combat and are usually led by an Aspiring Champion of Chaos.
Since the advent of the Codex Astartes, Tactical Squads have been the backbone of most Space Marine
armies. They have been called upon to fulfil the full range of battlefield roles; they hold ground,
provide fire support and charge into the close quarters fighting of bloody melees, as the ever-changing
theatre of war dictates. As befits their flexible battlefield role, Tactical Squads take a variety of weaponry to
the field of battle.
Equipment
An Astartes Tactical Marine cannot be fielded, unless it is equipped with a suit of armour. In addition, an
Astartes Tactical Marine can be equipped with any weapon, armour and equipment from the Adeptus Astartes
Armoury. You can upgrade up to three Tactical Marines into Company Veterans for 10 credits each.

A Necron Overlord is one of the greatest and most powerful leaders of the Necron species, and the ruler of many
Tomb Worlds. More powerful than even a Necron Lord, at a Necron Overlord's command are uncountable legions
of Necron Warriors, terrifying war machines, and a vast array of devastating weaponry.Normally equipped with a
Staff of Light, Necron Overlords are brilliant strategists, capable of calculating every possible outcome in the
ensuing conflict and formulating strategies to ensure that everything goes to plan.Only the most unlikely of tactical
or strategic situations can baffle a Necron Overlord and only the most potent foes have any chance of beating one in
combat.Masterful generals and warriors, bedecked in ancient and powerful battle gear of such potency it might seem
the product of magic rather than science, an Overlord's robotic body is the finest construct of its kind; armoured
enough to withstand anti-tank weaponry and strong enough to crush the life from his foe with remorseless efficiency.

A Cryptek is one of the technologists and engineers of the Necron species, and they are responsible for studying and
maintaining the technology of the Necron dynasties. A Cryptek's powers mirror that of the psykers found amongst the
other intelligent species of the galaxy.However, while psykers channel the energies of the Warp to accomplish their
seemingly supernatural feats, a Cryptek uses their highly advanced knowledge of science and technology to manipulate
the purely physical universe's fundamental forces and produce many of the same seemingly magical effects.What a Cryptek
often accomplishes with their technology is nothing short of magical to the eyes of the "lesser" intelligent peoples of the
galaxy.With their knowledge of arcane sciences, a Cryptek can transmute a foe into liquid adamantium, turn them into a
speck of dwarf star matter, set the air ablaze, call down eldritch bolts of lightning and other equally impressive feats of
technological arcana.

When a Necron Lord or Overlord succumbs, a great threat to all life is born. Ironically, the only reason the Imperium
is not aware of the extent of this threat is precisely because these Destroyer Lords are so aptly named. No one has borne
witness to the atrocities committed by these steel harbingers of apocalypse and lived, and so it can only be guessed at
the threat stirring on barren worlds scattered across the galaxy.While many Necron Lords and Overlords are afflicted by
"eccentricities," the insanity that consumes the mind of a Destroyer Lord is something else entirely. Like other Destroyers,
Destroyer Lords modify their bodies and minds, so that they might be better suited to their overarching purpose, to cleanse
the stars of all organic life.While this most often includes the attachment of an anti-gravitic suspensor platform in place of
legs, Destroyer Lords tend to forgo the ranged weaponry favoured by other Destroyers in favour of melee weapons. The
Warscythe is a particular favourite, as a Destroyer Lord hovering above the heads of his enemies can take full advantage of
the reach afforded by these massive melee weapons.Curiously, Destroyer Lords forgo the decorative finery commonly worn
by Necron royalty. Whether this is representative of their single-minded obsession, an intentional statement, or a simple
matter of practicality, none can say, for the Destroyer Lords are avoided by their former peers as much as the other Destroyers,
and are not keen to engage in conversation (except to learn the location of potential targets).
Equipment
A Destroyer Lord must be equipped with a weapon, in addition they can be equipped with any weapon, armour and
equipment from the Necron Armoury. A Destroyer Lord can be equipped with a Resurrection Orb for 25 credits or
a Nanosacarb Casket for 15 credits. Skorpekh Lord’s have an additional third arm that has the Keyword STRONG.
Abilities
❖ Reanimation Protocols: When the Destroyer Lord is taken Out of Action do not
remove it from the battlefield as it has begun its Reanimation Protocols. While
Reanimation Protocols are activated, the Destroyer Lord can only attempt a reconstruction
Risky Action until they have been reanimated and can still be targeted for attacks as normal. If
the Destroyer Lord is taken Out of Action while in Reanimation Protocols it can no longer
reanimate and is now considered taken Out of Action. Destroyer Lords can only reanimate
successfully once per battle, if a reanimated Destroyer Lord is taken Out of Action after
it has already reanimated it cannot activate its Reanimation Protocols a second time are
considered taken Out of Action. You cannot use BLOOD MARKERS on any
Reanimation Protocols.
❖ Living Metal: Non-FIRE injuries against the Destroyer Lord are rolled with
-1 DICE. Additionally, this model ignores any additional BLOOD MARKERS
caused by the Keyword GAS.
❖ Wanton Destruction, Wanton Murder: Whenever a Destroyer Lord performs
an attack action, if the target is the closest eligible model to attack add +2 to
that Action.
❖ Resurrection Orb: Once per Battle. Choose one NECRON model that
the Destroyer Lord can see within 12” with their Reanimation Protocols
activated. That model immediately reanimates.
❖ Nanoscarab Casket: At the start of the Destroyer Lords activation
you may remove a BLOOD MARKER.

The Lychguard are the elite protectors and emissaries of the Necron nobility. In order to serve as a bulwark against those
who would harm their charges, Lychguard were gifted with the highest quality living metal necrodermis bodies, equal in
resilience and power to those inhabited by the Necron Lords and Overlords they protect. Lychguard are tall and broad,
larger even than Immortals; as befits their status, Lychguard are marked out with tall crests or headdresses and often wear
segmented metal tabards or capes. In addition to serving as wardens, Lychguard often act as messengers and envoys for
their masters. In order to better serve in this capacity, the personality and intellect of the Lychguard was preserved through
the process of bio-transference to a much greater extent than the Necron rank-and-file. As with other Necrons, the Lychguard
fulfil the same roles following the transfer of their consciousness into their undying form as they did in life, though the
capability for disobedience has been removed. The Necron Lords and Overlords of the late 41st Millennium need never worry
about a treacherous knife in the back from a supposedly loyal guardian, making their Lychguard the last defence against the
machinations of rival nobles.

A Lychguard can be equipped with any weapon, armour and equipment from the Necron Armoury.

❖ Living Metal: Non-FIRE injuries against the Lychguard are rolled

❖ Bodyguard: If a NECRON model within 1” of the

itself. The injury and any additional effects of the attack are
resolved against the Lychguard instead of the original target.
This ability cannot be used against BLAST weapons.

NECRON, ELITE
Warhammer 40,000 Unofficial Rules
Necron Warriors are the primary infantry troops of the soulless, undying mechanical monstrosities known as the
Necrons. They were created from the majority of the ancient humanoid Necrontyr species who agreed to be bound
to the will of their Star Gods, the terrible entities known as the C'tan. The Necrontyr's consciousnesses were transferred
into robotic bodies made of the living metal called necrodermis through a process called biotransference. Over a
long period of time, their new, unliving bodies dulled the Necrontyr's minds and their abilities to feel emotion
or pleasure. Over many Terran millennia, the ultimate outcome of this process of gradual desensitization
was that the Necron Warriors became little more than soulless automatons, the warrior-slaves of the
still-self-aware Necron royalty and military elite who seek to rebuild their star-spanning empires across the
portions of the galaxy now controlled by the "lesser races." Hundreds of thousands of Necron Warriors form the
cold heart of a Tomb World's armies. They are implacable, emotionless and terrifying soldiers -- the inexorable
emissaries of death itself. Yet on closer inspection of a Necron Warrior, aberrant details become visible that act against
the image of the inevitable reaper. Its reactions, though precise, are slow. Its limbs, though strong and sleek, are pitted
and corroded, covered with an oily fluid seeping from aged joints. Its movements are jerky, and every so often it
struggles as corroded and eons-old engrammic synapses misfire. In truth, the Necron Warrior would almost be pitiable
were it not for the merciless gleam flickering in its eyes and the pervasive sense that it is less a sentient creature than it is one of
the walking dead. Grim and remorseless machine-creatures, each Necron Warrior carries the dimly echoed remains of a living
mind bound into eternal servitude. They are implacable and ruthless killers, largely ignorant of their own nightmarish condition.
But despite their shambolic gait, they are all but unstoppable; their bodies able to repair almost any harm done to them and,
compelled by the will of their lords, they are tireless as agents of destruction.
Equipment
Necron Warriors can be equipped with a Gauss Flayer with a Bayonet attached or a Gauss Reaper from the Necron
Armoury. Additionally you can promote three Necron Warriors to Flayed Ones at the cost of 10 credits
(up to five in warbands of over 1000 ducats value), they have the Keyword INFLITRATOR and
can only equip Flayer Claws instead.
Abilities
❖ Reanimation Protocols: When the Necron Warriors is taken Out of Action do not remove it
from the battlefield as it has begun its Reanimation Protocols. While Reanimation Protocols
are activated, the Necron Warriors can only attempt a reconstruction Risky Action until they have
been reanimated and can still be targeted for attacks as normal. If the Necron Warriors is taken
Out of Action while in Reanimation Protocols it can no longer reanimate and is now considered
taken Out of Action. Necron Warriors can only reanimate successfully once per battle, if a reanimated
Necron Warriors is taken Out of Action after it has already reanimated it cannot activate its Reanimation
Protocols a second time are considered taken Out of Action. You cannot use BLOOD MARKERS on any
Reanimation Protocols.
❖ Living Metal: Non-FIRE injuries against the Necron Warriors are rolled with -1 DICE. Additionally, this
model ignores any additional BLOOD MARKERS caused by the Keyword GAS.
KEYWORDS
NECRON, INFLITRATOR(FLAYED ONES ONLY)
Warhammer 40,000 Unofficial Rules
The Immortals were the favoured servants of the Necron dynasties in ancient days and now form the vanguard of their
undying legions. When the Necrons first conquered the galaxy, they did so through the unfaltering and implacable
onslaught of legion upon legion of Immortals. These were the very elite of the Necrontyr armies and are the true fighting
strength of the Necron dynasties; hardened veterans of ancient wars born anew in tireless, undying necrodermis bodies.
Still able to think and respond with a chill echo of intelligence, their martial power remains undimmed, as does their
unflagging loyalty. Within the engrammic circuitry of each Immortal, there lingers a spark of the mortal soldier he once was.
Equipment
Immortal can be equipped with a Gauss Blaster with an attached Bayonet or a Tesla Carbine from the Necron Armoury.
Additionally you can upgrade two Immortals into Deathmarks for 20 credits, using the profile above. Also Deathmarks
have the Ability Transdimensional Doorway, described below.
