Hi!

So far I heard two stories about the Ultramarines Scions of Guilliman (because of the wording):

1. It only helps normal Bolters, like from Intercessors

2. It applies to all units, so Devastators can walk and still fire on a 3+

For me the wording of GW sounds solid in favor for the second version, but anyway I wanted to confirm with more
experienced players. So, how does Scions of Guilliman actually work?

Thanks!

If your army is exclusively Ultramarines (except Fortifications), all units gain Scions of Guilliman.

Thus they also all benefit. Your Aggressors will be able to double fire, as will your Repulsor Executioners despite moving full distance. Dreads no longer worry about moving and shooting heavy weapons. Bolter Marines double tap at full range all the time. Etc...

A few caveats: This isn't the rules forum, you'll get better replies in there, I would hope. And we can't give you rules so we can't really reply with anything that hasn't been leaked by GW. That depends on what you mean. And which doctrine is active. And what weapon you're using.


Generally speaking - most UM armies will want to be in Tactical Doctrine which benefits the Rapid Fire and Assault Weapons - mostly the bolt-type stuff, but both not all bolter type stuff, and not ONLY bolter types stuff - as well as interacting with Scions. Scions is triggered by Tactical Doctrine, and only does it's thing during Tactical Doctrine

My WHFB armies were Bretonians and Tomb Kings.
