Rules (2)

Malicious Volleys

Instead of following the normal rules for Rapid Fire weapons, models in this unit firing Rapid Fire bolt weapons make double the number of attacks if any of the following apply:

• The shooting model’s target is within half the weapon’s range.
• The shooting model is INFANTRY and its unit Remained Stationary in your previous Movement phase.
• The shooting model is a TERMINATOR or BIKER model.

For the purposes of this ability, a Rapid Fire bolt weapon is any bolt weapon (as defined on paeg 176) with the Rapid Fire type.

Let the Galaxy Burn

See page 145 of Codex: Chaos Space Marines

Profiles:

Abilities
Disgustingly Resilient: Each time an attack is allocated to a model in this unit, subtract 1 from the Damage characteristic of that attack (to a minimum of 1).
Vectors of Death: A Plague Marine equipped with 2 melee plague weapons has an Attacks characteristic of 3.
Remorseless: Each time a Combat Attrition test is taken for this unit, ignore any or all modifiers.
Mark of Nurgle: Each time an attack is made against this unit, if the Strength characteristic of that attack either equals or is at least double the Toughness characteristic of this unit, subtract 1 from that attack's wound roll. While this unit has the ICON keyword, each time a model in this unit makes a ranged attack, an unmodified hit roll of 6 automatically wounds the target.
