Frateris Militia
Frateris militia bands are formed in times of crisis from low ranking
members of Ecclesiarchy and religious fanatics. They have next to nothing in
the way of military training but they compensate this with their faith and
willingness to die in the service of the Emperor. Frateris Militia bands can
be attached to any PDF or Battle Sister armies. On special occassions
(defending an Imperial shrine) Imperial Guard armies could include them as
well, but Space Marines will not lower themselves to fight alongside
"undisciplined rabble". The Frateris band is a company card, but no special
cards can be attached to it and the only support cards allowed are
Commissars. However, if fighting alongside IG the Frateris band does not
count when determining the amount of Commissars even though it is a company
card.

At least one Frateris stand must be within 6cm of the Preacher in each
orders phase for the unit to receive orders. If the Preacher is killed or
further than 6cm away roll on the following table unless there is a
Commissar within 6cm:
1-2: The Frateris band mills around in confusion. No orders this turn.
3-5: One of the band starts to run at the enemy screaming praises to the
Emperor. Inspired, the rest of the band follows. The unit has Charge orders
and charges straight towards the nearest enemy unit it can see.
6: The band starts to shoot at the general direction of the nearest enemy
unit. The band has first fire orders and must shoot at the nearest enemy
unit. It does not matter if the unit is out of range or of a type their
weapons cannot harm (a titan with intact void shields, a superheavy tank
etc.) they blast away regardless.
