Power from Pain
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
This ability always takes the form **Scouts X"**. In the Resolve Pre-battle Abilities step, if every model in a unit has this ability, you can do one of the following: 
- If that unit is in **strategic reserves**, you can set up that unit anywhere that is wholly within your deployment zone. 
- If that unit is wholly within your deployment zone, it can make a **scout move** (see below). 
- If that unit is embarked within a **DEDICATED TRANSPORT** that is wholly within your deployment zone, and if every model embarked within that **DEDICATED TRANSPORT** has the Scouts ability, that **DEDICATED TRANSPORT** can make a **scout move**.

Abilities
Assassins' Poisons (Pain):

In your Shooting phase or the Fight phase, when you select this unit to shoot or fight, you can spend 1 Pain token to Empower this unit. While Empowered, weapons equipped by models in this unit (excluding blast pistols, blasters and dark lances) have the [Lethal Hits] and [Precision] abilities.

Archon's Will:

At the start of the first battle round, select one objective marker on the battlefield. Until the end of the battle, while this unit is within range of that objective marker, unless this unit is Battle-shocked, models in this unit have a 5+ invulnerable save and an Objective Control characteristic of 3.

Archon's Retinue:

If this unit has a Leader unit attached to it during the Declare Battle Formations step, that Leader unit gains the Scouts 7" ability.
