Barbed Hierodule (IA)

This power is always on and does not require a Pyschic test to use. Any enemy unit that wishes to assault a creature with this power must take a Morale check. If the check is failed the unit cannot charge the model, and cannot make any other charges that turn.

Creatures with scything talons count as having two close combat weapons in an assault and so gain +1 attack. Creatures with two sets of scything talons gain +2 Attacks. Ranged weapons that base their number of shots on the owner's Attacks do not gain additional shots.
