Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when a WORD BEARERS CORE or WORD BEARERS DAEMONKIN unit from your army that is engaged in Wanton Massacre is selected to shoot. Many are seen sporting twin-linked Heavy Bolters, Plasma Cannons, Reaper Autocannons, twin-linked Lascannons, Missile Launchers, Power Scourges, Thunder Hammers, and fists that are equipped with Combi-Bolters and Heavy Flamers. The first Helbrutes of the Thousand Sons were created from those Dreadnoughts of the Legion who underwent the largest and worst mutations on the Planet of Sorcerers. If that unit is not a CHARACTER unit, it is eligible to perform Heroic Interventions as if it were a CHARACTER unit. Select the BLACK LEGION CORE, BLACK LEGION DAEMONKIN or BLACK LEGION CHARACTER unit from your army that is closest to an enemy unit.

Each time a model in that unit makes a melee attack against an enemy unit that is either in range of an objective marker or within your opponent’s deployment zone, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.

These formations, commonly known as Mayhem Packs, are goaded to a killing fury and then hurled into the very midst of the foe. If the result of the wound roll is less than the required number, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. The madness of the Chaos Space Marine within burns ever fiercer as he rises from the depths of his dormancy. They lure other Legionnaries into their ranks, promising them enormous knowledge and unimaginable power. When a unit Falls Back, each model in that unit can move a distance in inches equal to or less than the Move (M) characteristic shown on its datasheet, and when doing so you can move it within Engagement Range of enemy models, but it cannot end its move within Engagement Range of any enemy models – if it cannot do this then it cannot Fall Back.

Each time an attack made with this weapon targets a unit within half range, that attack has a Damage characteristic of D6+2. Many implantees go mad within solar days, or even hours, their minds turning inward and tearing themselves apart.

Those in thrall to the Prince of Excess may exude a cloying musk or stare with lidless black orbs instead of eyes. The desire for perfection that drives Slaanesh’s warriors is such that their fighting skills far exceed those of more blinkered forces - an obsessive drive that leads to superior acts of martial precision. If that unit is a VEHICLE unit, it can make attacks with Blast weapons against units within Engagement Range; however, if it does so, each time it makes an attack with a Blast weapon this phase, on an unmodified hit roll of 1 that unit suffers 1 mortal wound after all of its attacks have been resolved.

For the Imperium, the crafting of a single Dreadnought is a major undertaking, an effort of artifice that is as much spiritual as physical.Meanwhile, the warband to which a Helbrute owes allegiance will decorate the beast's armoured hide to their taste. Amidst such conditions, the steady hand of a veteran commander is more important than ever, and can spell the difference between triumph and disaster. He thinks nothing of setting in motion centuries-long chains of cause and effect that transform reality into a mechanism of death calibrated to do his bidding and leave his foes with nowhere to hide from his worshippers’ wrath.

Many mount tank-busting heavy weapons that can flatten a bunker or hammer swathes of infantry into red mist. In any other case, the Morale test is failed, one model flees that unit, and you must then take Combat Attrition tests for the remaining models in the unit. Use this Stratagem in your Command phase, if a BLACK LEGION WARLORD from your army is on the battlefield and your army is engaged in either Wanton Destruction, Wanton Massacre or Wanton Slaughter. Daring pre-emptive strikes against the enemy’s supply lines and rearguard ensure that their reinforcements are either diverted or delayed by logistical anarchy.If the selected weapon has more than one profile that you must choose between, you must declare which profile is being used at the same time. Use this Stratagem when an EMPEROR’S CHILDREN CORE or EMPEROR’S CHILDREN CHARACTER unit from your army is selected to fight.
