Martial Ka’tah
At the start of your Command phase, friendly Adeptus Custodes units with this ability are readied. While a friendly unit is readied, you can select one of the ka’tah abilities presented below for that unit to use. If you do, that unit is no longer readied.
Each ka’tah ability will tell you when that ka’tah ability can be used, and the effects that ka’tah ability has on the unit using it.
We recommend placing a token next to each readied unit, removing it when that unit is no longer readied .
