Rules (5)

Deep Strike

Each time this unit makes an **ingress move** (20.04), if every model in this unit has this ability, it can be set up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 8" horizontally from all enemy units, even if that is within your opponent’s deployment zone.

The Shadow of Chaos

If your Army Faction is LEGIONES DAEMONICA, certain areas of the battlefield are considered to be within your army’s Shadow of Chaos, as follows: 
■ Your deployment zone is always within your army’s Shadow of Chaos.
■ At the start of any phase, if you control at least half of the objective markers within No Man’s Land, until the end of that phase, No Man’s Land is within your army’s Shadow of Chaos.
■ At the start of any phase, if you control at least half of the objective markers within your opponent’s deployment zone, until the end of that phase, your opponent’s deployment zone is within your army’s Shadow of Chaos.

DAEMONIC MANIFESTATION
While a friendly LEGIONES DAEMONICA unit is within your army’s Shadow of Chaos, each time that unit makes a battle-shock roll, that unit has +1 to that battle-shock roll and, if that roll is successful, one model in that unit heals D3 wounds (if that unit is a BATTLELINE unit and that roll is successful, up to D3 destroyed models (excluding CHARACTER models) can be returned to that unit instead).

DAEMONIC TERROR
While an enemy unit is within your army’s Shadow of Chaos and/or it is within 6" of one or more BLOODTHIRSTER, GREAT UNCLEAN ONE, KAIROS FATEWEAVER, KEEPER OF SECRETS, LORD OF CHANGE, ROTIGUS, SHALAXI HELBANE or SKARBRAND units from your army, each time that unit takes a Battle-shock test, subtract 1 from that test and, if that test is failed, that enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.

Warp Rifts

Each time a LEGIONES DAEMONICA unit from your army is set up on the battlefield using the Deep Strike ability, if it is set up wholly within your army’s Shadow of Chaos, and/or if it is set up wholly within 6" of one or more friendly BLOODTHIRSTER, GREAT UNCLEAN ONE, KAIROS FATEWEAVER, KEEPER OF SECRETS, LORD OF CHANGE, ROTIGUS, SHALAXI HELBANE or SKARBRAND units with which it shares the KHORNE, TZEENTCH, NURGLE or SLAANESH keyword, it can be set up anywhere that is more than 6" horizontally away from all enemy models, instead of more than 9".

Leader

Before the battle, in the Muster Armies step, for each leader and support unit in your army, you can select one friendly bodyguard unit that unit can lead. That unit will then lead that bodyguard unit for the battle and form an attached unit with it. Unless otherwise stated, each bodyguard unit can only have one leader unit and one support unit attached to it.

Fights First

While every model in a unit has this ability, that unit is a **Fights First** unit. 
See the Resolve Fights First Combats step in the Fight phase (12.04).

Unit	M	T	Sv	W	LD	OC	InSv

Abilities
Swallow Energy (Psychic): While this model is leading a unit, models in that unit have the Feel No Pain 4+ ability against mortal wounds and Psychic Attacks.
Horrible Fascination (Psychic): At the start of your opponent’s Shooting phase, one PSYKER model from your army with this ability can use it. If it does, select one enemy unit within 12" of and visible to that PSYKER model and roll one D6: on a 1, that PSYKER model suffers D3 mortal wounds; on a 2-5, until the end of the phase, each time a model in that enemy unit makes an attack, subtract 1 from the Hit roll; on a 6, that enemy unit is not eligible to shoot this phase.
Leader: This model can be attached to the following unit: ■ DAEMONETTES
Seductive Gambit: Each time this unit ends a Charge move, you can declare it will perform a Seductive Gambit. If you do, until the end of the turn, this unit does not have the Fights First ability, but instead, each time a model in this unit makes an attack, you can re‑roll the Hit roll and you can re‑roll a Wound roll of 1.
Shadow's Caress: Enemy units cannot use the Fire Overwatch Stratagem to shoot at this unit.
