Abilities
Berserk Rampage:

If a unit of Grotesques does not include an Independent Character at the beginning of the Movement phase, roll a dice. On the roll of a 1, the Grotesque go on a rampage, inflicting 2D6 S5 AP- hits on all units within 2D6" (friend or foe) before being removed from play. Vehicles are hit on their side armour. If a 2+ was rolled, the Grotesque act as normal.

Bulky:

Each Grotesque counts as two models for the purposes of transport capacity.

Night Vision:

When the Night Fighting mission special rule is in use, such models may choose to re-roll the test to determine how far they can see, but must abide by the new result. Characters with this rule confer it onto any unit they join, as long as they are part of the unit. Units with this rule confer it onto any characters joining them, as long as they are part of the unit.

Power from Pain:

Whenever a Dark Eldar unit with this rule destroys a non-vehicle enemy unit, it immediately gains a 'pain token'. Place a marker with that unit; a coin or other trophy will do. Each pain token confers a special rule to the entire unit, as shown in the list below. For example, a unit with one pain token has the Feel No Pain rule, one with two pain tokens has Feel No Pain and Furious Charge, etc. It might happen that several of your units are involved in a combat against one or more enemy units, which are destroyed because of the assault's results. In this case, you receive one pain token per enemy unit destroyed, and then randomly assign them amongst your units in that combat. Note that pain tokens can be gained by other means - some units even begin the game with one!

1 - Feel No Pain

2 - Furious Charge

3 or more - Fearless

If a Dark Eldar unit is joined by one or more characters with pain tokens, all the pain tokens for the unit and characters that have joined it are pooled. If an Independent Character leaves a unit with one or more pain tokens, you must divide them as equally as possible. The owning player decides who gets any remaining tokens.

Altered Physique:

This model begins the game with a pain token.
