The Attack
Step One: Test
To make a melee attack, you must be engaged with your target. Test Weapon Skill. When making a
ranged attack, you Test Ballistic Skill. If you roll equal to or below your WS or BS, you hit.
Weapon Jams
Such is the capricious whim of the 41st Millennium that many of the ranged weapons will have an
unfortunate tendency to malfunction. To represent these occurrences, an unmodified result of 96 to
00, in addition to being an automatic miss, also indicates the weapon has jammed. A Jammed
weapon cannot be fired until it is cleared. Clearing a Jam in a Full Action which requires a Ballistic
Skill Test. If the Test is successful then the Jam has been cleared. If the Test is failed the weapon is
still Jammed, though the character can attempt to clear it again next Round.
Faster Combat
Sometimes, combat can be bogged down if there are multiple combatants. To speed up combat,
roll in advance any Tests you will take in your action, and work out results for when your round
comes up. This way, combat will take less time, and you can get back to finding heretics and traitors

Quick ‘n Dirty Additional Rules
Fate Points
Fate Points allow you to turn luck to your advantage, hitting with that bolter shot when you would
have otherwise missed, or cracking the security code on a door just in time to make a hasty escape.
Using these twists of fate, you can take a few more risks, which makes the game faster and far more
exciting than would otherwise be the case.
That said, you have a limited pool of Fate Points and whenever you spend a Fate Point, you
reduce your pool by one. Fate Points are restored at the start of the next gaming session. Spending
a Fate Point allows a character to do one of the following things:
•Re-roll any one failed Test. The results of the re-roll are final.
•Count as having rolled a 10 for their Initiative.
•Add an extra degree of success to a Test.
•Instantly recover 1d5 Wounds.
•Recover from being Stunned.
Burning Fate
Sometimes a re-roll or an extra degree of success is not going to be enough to save a character’s life.
In these instances, the character may choose to burn a Fate Points and permanently reduce their
Fate Points by 1. The result is that the character survives whatever it was that would have killed
him, but only just.
Note that you may burn a Fate Point even if you have already used all of your Fate Points for that
gaming session. This just means that at the start of the next session, when your points are restored,
you will have 1 less Fate Point.
