Power Matrix

Your deployment zone is always within your army’s Power Matrix.

At the start of any phase, if you control at least half of the objective markers within No Man’s Land, until the end of that phase, No Man’s Land is within your army’s Power Matrix.

At the start of any phase, if you control at least half of the objective markers within your opponent’s deployment zone, until the end of that phase, your opponent’s deployment zone is within your army’s Power Matrix.

Each time a model in a CRYPTEK or CANOPTEK unit from your army makes an attack, re-roll a Hit roll of 1. If such a unit is wholly within your army’s Power Matrix, you can re-roll the Hit roll instead.

Certain areas of the battlefield are considered to be within your army’s Power Matrix, as follows:

Full wording ▾

Countless worlds across the galaxy harbour quiescent Necron technology, buried beneath the surface or mistaken for mere xenoarchaeological ruins. Whether part of an awakening tomb world’s defences, phased beneath the crust of a planet to empower the Cryptek’s conquest or perhaps the very objects they seek, these strange engines can be roused to wakefulness. Linked in an interdimensional matrix, their ancient energy cores can be vampirically bled to empower the Crypteks’ arcane technologies as well as their artificial and servile constructs.
