Until the start of your next Command phase, that model gains either the Rites of Battle ability or the Tactical Precision ability, as shown below:

Select one ADEPTUS ASTARTES DREADNOUGHT model from your army (excluding WULFEN and DEATH COMPANY models). Which means pushing into an industrial empire is practically suicide, but further industrial armies are away from resources, the more difficult it will be to reinforce.Use this Stratagem in your Command phase. So only a few cities will be capable of producing units. They will need nitric acid (and maybe sulfur) for light unit, and coal for heavy units.

Units should be powerful but can only be produced with specific resources. I think the great weakness of industrial armies is the need for extensive logistics. It would be OP, but 'magic counter guns' wouldn't as an argument work because magic counter swords too. In such an army, everyone should be able to use a bit of magic, even rank and file soldiers who are not specialist. For evidence, in the real world the first literate soldiers were from the industrial era. Which leave more time to study tactics and magic. Industrial agriculture free more people to work as professional soldiers, and guns arguably require less training than sword and bows, It can even be argued that gunpowder armies can employee more magic. Gunpowder armies can also employee magic.
