The Spectral Legion
Legion of the Damned
“We Come From the Warp to Save the Faithful”
No one knows the Legion of the Damned's true origin — not the High Lords, not the Adeptus Astartes, not even the Legion themselves. They arrive unbidden in the direst moments of a battle, translucent and burning, cutting down the enemy with uncanny, implacable purpose before vanishing as suddenly as they came, leaving behind nothing but scorched earth and impossible hope. Their armour bears skulls and flame in patterns older than any known Chapter, and their bolters spit shells wreathed in warpfire. Some say they are the spirits of the Emperor's most faithful dead, called back from beyond to fight one more battle; others whisper they are already ash, and simply do not know it yet.
Allied contingent · The Legion of the Damned appear as an Agents of the Imperium contingent alongside a parent Imperium army rather than as a standalone force.
Army Rule
Spectral Assault
LEGION OF THE DAMNED units can be set up in a Reserves pool called the Warp Rift instead of being deployed normally. In any of your Movement phases, you can bring any number of units from the Warp Rift onto the battlefield more than 9" from enemy models, and they can charge in the turn they arrive.

Rules digest
How This Force Plays
Our own plain-speech digest of how this force's rules hang together — army rule, detachment choice, command-point economy and roster shape. Written by us, not reproduced from the pack; the official PDF is the only authority on exact wording.
Read the official pack PDFHow the army rule shapes play
Every list in this force answers to Spectral Assault, so plan your turns around it rather than treating it as a bonus. There is no secondary doctrine to pick, which keeps the force predictable to learn and unforgiving to misplay. Exact wording lives in the official pack PDF; the summary here is ours.
Choosing a detachment
You commit to one of 1 detachment (Damned Legionnaires), and that choice locks in your detachment rule and that detachment's specific enhancements. Pick the detachment that matches the units you already own, then buy enhancements last.
Command points and stratagems
There are 5 stratagems on offer, costing between 1 and 2 CP. In a normal game you will bank enough for two or three interventions a turn at most, so decide before deployment which one or two plays you are saving command points for.
Building to a points limit
The roster runs to 106 datasheets. The cheapest entry comes in at 50 points and the most expensive at 840, so a single flagship choice can eat a fifth of a 2,000-point army. Use the list builder to keep the Rule of Three, character limits and your points ceiling honest as you add units.
