Disciples of Tzeentch – Chaos Spawn of Tzeentch
2D6" 5 5+ 1 Tzeentch Chaos Spawn are, if anything, even more horrifically mutated than others of their kind. Altered at the whim of the Change God, they tear their prey limb from limb with their freakish array of claws, tentacles and hooked appendages. | ||

Crit (2 Hits)

SEED OF REBIRTH: Should the bearer of this seed ever fall, its rejuvenating energies will grant them new life.
Effect: The first time this unit would be destroyed, before removing it from play, roll a dice. On a 3+, this unit is not destroyed and any remaining damage points inflicted on it have no effect. Then, Heal (D3) this unit.
21.0 Healing
Some abilities allow you to heal a unit. To heal a unit, remove a number of damage points from the unit equal to the number in brackets after ‘Heal’, e.g. Heal (2).FAQ
| Q: | If an ability (e.g. ‘Seed of Rebirth’) would allow a unit that would be destroyed to negate all remaining damage points then heal to prevent that unit from being destroyed, and another ability (e.g. ‘Quenching the Flames’) prevents that unit from healing, would that unit still be destroyed? |
| A: | Yes. |

24.1 Reserve Units
Some abilities allow you to set up units in reserve. These units are placed to one side instead of being set up on the battlefield. At the start of the fourth battle round, units that were set up in reserve using a DEPLOY ability and that are still in reserve are destroyed.
24.2 Replacement Units
Some abilities allow you to set up a replacement unit. When setting up that unit, it should have the same warscroll type, weapon options and number of models as the original unit, unless otherwise specified in the ability. Many of these abilities specify the proportion of models in the replacement unit (e.g. half the number of models from the original unit). In these cases, you can pick which models from the original unit are set up.The replacement unit is otherwise treated as a new unit; any keywords or abilities the original unit gained during the battle, and any persisting effects that applied to it, do not apply to the replacement unit. Each unit can only be replaced once, and you cannot replace replacement units.
If the original unit was reinforced and the replacement unit has more than half the number of models from the original unit, the replacement unit is considered to be reinforced.
| Because a replacement unit is treated as a completely new unit, it could, for instance, use a Once Per Battle ability on its warscroll even if the unit it replaced used that ability earlier in the battle. | ||
FAQ / Errata
FAQ
| Q: | If a destroyed unit had an enhancement, and an ability allows me to set up a replacement of that unit, would the replacement unit also have that enhancement? |
| A: | No. |
| Q: | If an ability allows a replacement unit to be set up with half the models from the original unit, and the original unit has to have a certain proportion of models equipped with specific weapons, does the new unit also need to adhere to the same restrictions? |
| A: | No. As stated in 24.2, you can pick any models from the original unit to be set up in the replacement unit. |
| Q: | If an ability allows a replacement unit to be set up with half the models from the original unit, could I then use an ability such as ‘Rally’ to return models to that unit until it reached the unit size of the original unit? |
| A: | No. A replacement unit is treated as a new unit with a new unit size. |
