Brotherhood of Sorcerers
Daemonic Instability
Cannot join (or be joined by) models without this special rule. Automatically pass Fear, Pinning, and Morale tests.

When a unit with the Daemonic Instability special rule loses an assault, it takes a Daemonic Instability test at the Check Morale step of the Fight sub-phase. This uses the following procedure:

1) Take a Leadership test. if the dice roll is a double 1 or double 6, the Daemon's presence fluctuates:
  Double 1 - Reality Blinks: All Wounds suffered by the unit this phase are restored. Any models from this unit killed this phase return, in coherency, at least 1" from enemy models. If the returning modell's unit is locked in combat, the model Piles In.
  Double 6 - Banished!: Remove the entire unit from play as casualties. If locked in combat, the enemy consolidates. 

2) Now, if a double 1 or double 6 wasn't rolled, compare the roll to the Daemon's Leadership, including modifiers. For each point they fail by, the unit sufffers an additional Wound, with no saves of any kind.
Deep Strike
Deep Strike Mishap Table: D6 Roll

1: Terrible Accident! - The entire unit is destroyed!

2-3: Misplaced - Your opponent may deploy the unit anywhere on the table (excluding impassable terrain, but including difficult terrain, which of course counts as dangerous for Deep Striking units), in a valid Deep Strike formation, without rolling for scatter. Units embarked on a misplaced Transport can disembark during their Movement phase as normal.

4-6: Delayed - The unit is placed in Ongoing Reserves.
Warpflame
Units that take Wounds from this attack take a Toughness test. If failed, they suffer D3 Wounds (no armour or cover saves). If passed, they gain Feel No Pain (6+) or +1 to Feel No Pain rolls for the rest of the game.
Split Again
if a friendly unit of Blue Horrors suffers any casualties, the slain Horrors will split and create Brimstone Horrors at the end of that phase (after all other units have performed their actions and made their attacks). One model is created for each slain Blue Horror - if there is already a friendly Brimstone Horror unit within 6" of the Blue Horrors, add the newly created Brimstone Horrors to that unit, otherwise set them up as a new unit within 6" of the unit of Blue Horrors. If a rule causes a whole unit of Blue Horrors to be removed at once (excluding Daemonic Instabilities), you can immediately create a unit of Brimstone Horrors just before removing the last model from the Blue Horrors unit. The unit of Brimstone Horrors has one model for each model in the unit of Blue Horrors at the point as which it was removed, and must be set up with all models within 6" of the last model from the Blue Horrors unit.
