Chaos Marauders

A unit consisting of models with this special rule may adopt a Close Order formation.

Unless it is fleeing, a Warband gains a positive (+) modifier to its Leadership characteristic equal to its current Rank Bonus, up to a maximum of Leadership 10.However, a Warband cannot use this modifier to its Leadership should it ever choose to make a Restraint test or, if it is Impetuous, when testing to see if it must declare a charge or may act as normal. In addition, if the majority of the models in a unit have this special rule, it may re-roll its Charge roll.

Note that unless a character also has this special rule, their Leadership cannot be modified by this special rule. A Warband can use either its own modified Leadership, the modified Leadership of a Warband character, or the unmodified Leadership of a non-Warband character, whichever is the higher.

Once per game, during a turn in which it was charged, a unit with this special rule that is arrayed in a Close Order formation, and that is equipped with and chooses to use shields, may Give Ground rather than Fall Back in Good Order.

A unit with this special rule may increase the maximum Rank Bonus it can claim (as determined by its troop type) by one.

Models with the Mark of Chaos Undivided can re-roll any failed Fear, Panic or Terror tests.

Units of Chaos Marauders and Marauder Horseman have the option to belong to a 'Chaotic Cult': • A model cannot belong to more than one Chaotic Cult. • A character with a Mark of Chaos can join a unit belonging to any Chaotic Cult as normal.

Praising The Gods Once per game, during the Command sub-phase of its turn, a unit belonging to a Chaotic Cult may implore its patron for their blessing by making a Leadership test. If this test is passed, until its next Start of Turn sub-phase, all Chaotic Cult models within the unit gain the benefit specified by the specific cult. If this test is failed, the unit's implorations go unheeded.
