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.

Cabal of Sorcerers

If your army Faction is ^^**Thousand Sons^^**, at the start of your Shooting phase, one or more models from your army with this ability can attempt Rituals. To do so, select one model from your army with this ability that has not yet attempted a Ritual this turn and select one Ritual no model from your army has attempted to manifest this turn, then take a Psychic test by following the sequence below:

1. Roll 2D6
2. Optionally, roll one additional D6 (Channel the Warp). Then, if one or more doubles or triples were rolled during this test, that model's unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.
3. If that model is not destroyed, the combined total of all the dice rolled during this test is the Psychic test result. If this equals or exceeds the Warp Charge value of the Ritual being attempted, that model manifests that Ritual and you resolve its effects.
