All **^^Drukhari^^** units have a Pain ability, tagged with the word 'Pain'. Pain abilities only apply to a unit while it is Empowered. If your Army Faction is **^^Drukhari^^**, you can Empower units from your army with Pain abilities by spending Pain tokens (see below).

**GAINING PAIN TOKENS**

If your Army Faction is **^^Drukhari^^**, you gain Pain tokens as follows:
■ 1 Pain token at the start of your Command phase.
■ 1 Pain token each time an enemy unit is destroyed.
■ 1 Pain token each time an enemy unit fails a Battle-shock test.

Each time you gain a Pain token, keep it to one side – this is your Pain token pool. Each time you spend a Pain token, reduce your Pain token pool by the same amount.

**EMPOWERED THROUGH PAIN**

Each Pain ability will state when you can spend Pain tokens to Empower that unit. When you do, until the end of the phase, that unit is Empowered and all Pain abilities it has take effect. While an Attached unit is Empowered, the Pain abilities of all Leader and Bodyguard units in that unit take effect - you do not need to spend additional Pain tokens to activate each of those Pain abilities.

Scouts

Some units have ‘Scouts x"’ listed in their abilities. If every model in a unit has this ability, then at the start of the first battle round, before the first turn begins, it can make a Normal move of up to x", with the exception that, while making that move, the distance moved by each model in that unit can be greater than that model's Move characteristic, as long as it is not greater than x". 

DEDICATED TRANSPORT models can make use of any Scouts x" ability listed in their abilities, or a Scouts x" ability that a unit that starts the battle embarked within that DEDICATED TRANSPORT  model has (provided only models with this ability are embarked within that Dedicated Transport model), regardless of how that embarked unit gained this ability (e.g. listed in their abilities, conferred by an Enhancement or by an attached Character, etc.). 

A unit that moves using this ability must end that move more than 9" horizontally away from all enemy models. If both players have units that can do this, the player who is taking the first turn moves their units first.
