Understanding the Intercessor Datasheet 9th Edition is crucial for both new and veteran players looking to maximize the potential of these versatile infantry units.
Decoding the Intercessor Datasheet 9th Edition
The Intercessor Datasheet 9th Edition is essentially a profile card for your Intercessor squad. It presents a wealth of information in a standardized format, allowing you to quickly reference key stats during a game. This information includes Movement (M), Weapon Skill (WS), Ballistic Skill (BS), Strength (S), Toughness (T), Wounds (W), Attacks (A), Leadership (Ld), and Save (Sv). These stats determine their effectiveness in combat and their resilience to enemy fire. Knowing these numbers is the foundation for strategic decision-making on the battlefield. Mastering these stats allows you to position your Intercessors optimally and choose the right engagements.
Beyond the core stats, the Intercessor Datasheet 9th Edition outlines the squad’s special abilities and wargear options. Abilities are unique rules that provide advantages in certain situations, such as “Bolter Discipline” allowing for additional rapid fire shots with their bolters under certain conditions. Wargear options offer flexibility, allowing you to customize the squad’s loadout to suit your tactical needs. For example, you might equip a squad with an Auxiliary Grenade Launcher for extra range or a power fist for enhanced melee capability. Understanding these options is critical for tailoring your Intercessors to specific roles within your army. Consider this example of available wargear:
- Bolt Rifle
- Auxiliary Grenade Launcher
- Power Sword
The datasheet also specifies the unit composition, detailing how many Intercessors are in a squad and any sergeant options. This is important for determining the overall points cost of the unit and its deployment capabilities. Each Intercessor unit can contain a set amount of models to start, then you have the option of adding more to the unit. The sergeant has different weapon options than the basic Intercessors. The Intercessor Datasheet 9th Edition even describes the weapons they can take, such as a chainsword, power sword, or power fist. The datasheet is extremely important for understanding all of your options to maximize your units effectiveness.
