Leader While a Bodyguard unit contains a Leader, it is known as an Attached unit and, with the exception of rules that are triggered when units are destroyed (pg 12), it is treated as a single unit for all rules purposes. Each time an attack targets an Attached unit, until the attacking unit has resolved all of its attacks, you must use the Toughness characteristic of the Bodyguard models in that unit, even if a Leader in that unit has a different Toughness characteristic. Each time an attack successfully wounds an Attached unit, that attack cannot be allocated to a Character model in that unit, even if that Character model has lost one or more wounds or has already had attacks allocated to it this phase. As soon as the last Bodyguard model in an Attached unit has been destroyed, any attacks made against that unit that have yet to be allocated can then be allocated to Character models in that unit.
Each time the last model in a Bodyguard unit is destroyed, each CHARACTER unit that is part of that Attached unit becomes a separate unit, with its original Starting Strength. If this happens as the result of an attack, they become separate units after the attacking unit has resolved all of its attacks.
Each time the last model in a CHARACTER unit that is attached to a Bodyguard unit is destroyed and there is not another CHARACTER unit attached, that Attached unit’s Bodyguard unit becomes a separate unit, with its original Starting Strength. If this happens as the result of an attack, they become separate units after the attacking unit has resolved all of its attacks.
Each time a unit that is part of an Attached unit is destroyed, it does not have the keywords of any other units that make up that Attached unit (unless it has those keywords on its own datasheet) for the purposes of any rules that would be triggered when that unit is destroyed.
Power from Pain If your Army Faction is DRUKHARI, units from your army with this ability can become Empowered Through Pain. This is done using Pain tokens.
GAINING PAIN TOKENS
If your Army Faction is Drukhari, you gain Pain tokens as follows:
■ At the start of the battle, depending on the battle size:
COMBAT PATROL - 1 PAIN TOKEN
INCURSION - 2 PAIN TOKENS
STRIKE FORCE - 3 PAIN TOKENS
ONSLAUGHT - 4 PAIN TOKENS
■ Each time an enemy unit is destroyed, you gain 1 Pain token.
■ Each time an enemy unit fails a Battle-shock test, you gain 1 Pain token.
Each time you gain a Pain token, keep it to one side – this is your Pain token pool.
EMPOWERED THROUGH PAIN
At the start of any phase, you can expend one or more Pain tokens from your Pain token pool. Each time you do, select one unit from your army with the Power from Pain ability. Until the end of the phase, that unit is Empowered, and gains the abilities listed below, depending on the phase.
■ Empowered in the Movement or Charge phase:
◦ You can re-roll Advance or Charge rolls made for that unit.
■ Empowered in the Shooting or Fight phase:
◦ Each time a model in that unit makes an attack, you can re-roll the Hit roll and, if it is a melee attack, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.
