The Bloodied Claw
(Rule)Description: Effects
• Once per battle, at the start of their player turn, a player whose army includes a Detachment using this Rite of War may declare a Bloody Claw. Once the Bloody Claw is declared and until the start of the controlling player’s next turn, all models with the Legiones Astartes (Space Wolves) special rule in the Detachment with this Rite of War gain the following benefits:
- Add +1 to the score used to determine the winner of any Assault (this is not cumulative, and no individual combat may have it applied more than once).
- Gain the Fleet (2) and Furious Charge (1) special rules. - Gain the Stubborn special rule, or if they already had the Stubborn special rule or another special rule that allows them to ignore modifiers to Leadership, gains the Fearless special rule instead.
Limitations
• During the turn in which the controlling player has declared the Bloody Claw, all units that include one or more models with the Legiones Astartes (Space Wolves) special rule in this Detachment capable of Charging must always attempt to Charge an enemy unit in the Assault phase if there are any eligible targets in range and line of sight. If multiple eligible targets are available, the controlling player may choose which to declare a Charge against.
