Voice Of Command
(Rule)Description: If your Army Faction is **^^Astra Militarum^^**, **^^Officer^^** models with this ability can issue Orders. Each **^^Officer^^**'s datasheet will specify how many Orders it can issue and which units are eligible to receive those Orders. Each time an **^^Officer^^** model issues an Order, select one of the Orders below, then select one eligible friendly unit within 6" of that **^^Officer^^** model to issue it to. **^^Officer^^** models can issue Orders in your Command phase and at the end of a phase in which they disembarked from a **^^Transport^^** or were set up on the battlefield.
Until the start of your next Command phase, the unit you selected is affected by that Order. Unless otherwise stated, a unit can only be affected by one Order at a time (any Order subsequently issued to that unit replaces the current one). Orders cannot be issued to Battle-shocked units, and if a unit being affected by an Order becomes Battle-shocked, that Order ceases to affect that unit.
Only **^^Astra Militarum^^** models gain the benefit of an Order issued to their unit.
