Hateful Assault
If this unit makes a charge move, is charged or performs a Heroic Intervention, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of models in this unit until the end of the turn.
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 firing model’s target is within half the weapon’s maximum range.
• The firing model is INFANTRY and every model in its unit remained stationary in your previous Movement phase.
• The firing model is a TERMINATOR, BIKER or HELBRUTE.
For the purposes of this ability, a Rapid Fire bolt weapon is any bolt weapon with the Rapid Fire type. A bolt weapon is any weapon whose profile includes the word ‘bolt’ (e.g. boltgun, bolt pistol, combibolter, Inferno boltgun). Rules that apply to bolt weapons also apply when firing the boltgun profile of combi-weapons and when firing Artefacts of Chaos that replaced a bolt weapon, (e.g. Spitespitter). The Talon of Horus is also a Rapid Fire bolt weapon.

Mysterious Protection:

You can re-roll hit rolls of 1 made for friendly FALLEN units within 6" of Cypher

No-one's Puppet:

Cypher cannot use the Daemonic Ritual ability, even though he has the CHAOS and CHARACTER keywords.

Agent of Discord:

While an enemy unit is within discord range of this model, that unit and any models it contains cannot make use of any abilities, Warlord Traits or Relics that allow your opponent to receive or be refunded Command Points.

  • Less than 10 other FALLEN ANGELS models, this ability has a discord range of 12".
