Bound Sub-type
(Rule)Description: The following rules apply to all models with the Bound Sub-type:
• Models with the Bound Sub-type do not modify their Strength and Toughness values according to the current Game Turn as detailed in the Daemon Unit Type.
• While there are no models from the same army with both the Psyker Unit Sub-type and the Independent Character special rule on the battlefield or Embarked upon a unit with the Transport Sub-type that is on the battlefield, models with the Bound Sub-type suffer a penalty of -1 to their Strength and Toughness characteristics to a minimum value of 1.
• During deployment, in order for units entirely composed of models with the Bound Sub-type to be deployed on the battlefield, a model from the same army with the Psyker Unit Sub-type and the Independent Character special rule which is already deployed (or Embarked upon a unit with the Transport Sub-type which is already deployed) must make a Psychic check for each such unit, one at a time. For each successful Check a single unit containing models with the Bound Sub-type may be deployed as normal, but once a Psychic check is failed, that and all further units containing models with the Bound Sub-type must be placed in Reserves. The controlling player may choose not to make a Psychic check for any unit containing models with the Bound Sub-type, instead placing it directly into reserves and allowing Psychic checks to be made to deploy any further units containing models with the Bound Sub-type. Note that failing a Psychic check in this manner does not inflict Perils of the Warp.
• Units placed in Reserves which are entirely composed of models with the Bound Sub-type do not have Reserve rolls made for them, instead the controlling player may have a model with the Psyker Sub-type and the Independent Character special rule make a Psychic check when Reserves rolls would be made in order for them to enter play from reserves as normal. Note that this only applies when deploying units containing models with the Bound Sub-type from Reserves, and does not affect special deployment types such as Deep Strike Assaults and the Breach the Veil Psychic Power.
