Each and every Darkoath warrior is trained in the way of the axe and the sword from the youngest age. Having sworn bloody oaths to their patron gods, they seek to fulfil them by any means necessary, their bodies flushed with power by every pledge completed.

Each model in a Darkoath Marauders unit is armed with 1 of the following weapon options: Raider Weapon; or Darkiron Spear. All models in the unit must be armed with the same weapon option.
CHAMPION: 1 model in this unit can be a Darkoath Champion. Add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of that model’s melee weapons.
STANDARD BEARER: 1 in every 10 models in this unit can be an Icon Bearer. Add 1 to the Bravery characteristic of this unit while it includes any Icon Bearers.
MUSICIAN: 1 in every 10 models in this unit can be a Doombeater. Add 1 to
charge rolls for this unit while it includes any Doombeaters.
Glorious Death: Ever keen to earn the favour of their tribe, when the eyes of the fiercest fighters are upon them, these ferocious warriors will not go down without a fight.
While this unit is wholly within 12" of any friendly
DARKOATH HEROES, each time a model in this unit is slain by an attack made with a melee weapon, pick 1 enemy unit within 3" of this unit and roll a dice. On a 5+, that unit suffers 1
mortal wound.
Oath of the Marauder: These bloodthirsty tribal warriors loudly declare vows of violence and slaughter as they race after their foes.
If you make an unmodified
charge roll of 7+ for this unit and this unit makes a
charge move with that charge roll, it fulfils its oath. Once this unit fulfils its oath, until the end of the battle, the Rend characteristic of this unit’s Raider Weapons or Darkiron Spears is -1 instead of ‘-’.
