Dirge of the Great Hegemon

A Dirge of the Great Hegemon Warband must include 1 Executor. The Executor uses the Plague Knight Warband Entry, except that it has a Ranged Characteristic of +1 DICE and the LEADER and TOUGH Keywords, and has a cost of 80Ducats. The Warband can still include 0-2 Plague Knights.

Using the remnants of the lingering power of a fallen Hegemon, a Plague Knight of the Warband can directly command a nearby Bereaved. An Executor or Plague Knight in a Dirge of the Great Hegemon Warband can take a Command Bereaved ACTION. If it does so, you can remove any number of INFECTION MARKERS from enemy models. For each INFECTION MARKER you remove, you can then carry out one of the following Commands with a Bereaved (Grail Thrall or Fly Thrall) that is within 18" of the model taking the Command Bereaved ACTION. A Bereaved cannot be given more than 1 Command each Turn, but carrying out a Command does not stop it from also being Activated in the same Turn (before or after the Command was issued).

• Charge Command: The Bereaved carries out a charge move.
• Fight Command: The Bereaved carries out a Melee Attack.
• Move Command: The Bereaved carries out a normal move (it cannot Retreat).
• Shoot Command: The Bereaved carries out a Ranged Attack.

A Dirge of the Great Hegemon Warband cannot include a Lord of Tumours or an Amalgam.

A Dirge of the Great Hegemon Warband Warband can only include 0-2 Hounds of the Cult of the Black Grail and can only include 0-2 Heralds of Beelzebub.

The Grail Thralls or Fly Thralls in a Dirge of the Great Hegemon Warband are called the Bereaved. They have a Ranged Characteristic of +0 DICE and a cost of 30 ducats, and can have Ranged Weapons, Grenades, a Musical Instrument or a Troop Flag from the Cult of the Black Grail Armoury.

Models in a Dirge of the Great Hegemon Warband cannot have Beelzebub’s Axe or a Black Grail Shield.

Putrid Shotguns in this Warband have a Limit of 3, and Viscera Cannon have a Limit of 3 and do not have the ELITE only stipulation.
