Each model in an Askurgan Trueblades unit is armed with Askurgan Weapons.
CHAMPION: 1 model in this unit can be an Askurgan Exemplar. That model has a Wounds characteristic of 4 and is armed with Paired Askurgan Blades instead of Askurgan Weapons.
CURSEBLOOD: 1 in every 8 models in this unit can be a Curseblood. A Curseblood has a Wounds characteristic of 4 and is armed with Elongated Claws and Slavering Maw instead of Askurgan Weapons.
The Hunger: Those who bear the Soulblight curse constantly crave blood and are empowered by feasting upon their foes.
Each time this unit fights, after all of its attacks have been resolved, you can
heal up to a number of wounds allocated to this unit equal to the number of wounds and
mortal wounds caused by those attacks that were allocated to enemy units.
Gut-wrenching Howl: The howl of a Curseblood resounds with the force of long-repressed bloodlust finally finding release, staggering even the bravest souls.
At the end of the
charge phase, if this unit includes any Cursebloods, you can pick 1 enemy unit within 1" of this unit and say that the Curseblood will unleash a gut wrenching howl. If you do so, roll a dice. Add 1 to the roll for each Curseblood in this unit. On a 4+, the
strike-last effect applies to that enemy unit in the following
combat phase.
Creed of the Beast: The Trueblades test themselves against the most powerful adversaries, feasting solely on monstrous blood to bolster their strength and speed.
Subtract 1 from
hit rolls and
wound rolls for attacks made with melee weapons by enemy
MONSTERS that target this unit. In addition, each time an enemy
MONSTER unit is destroyed by attacks made by this unit, add 3" to this unit’s Move characteristic and add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of this unit’s melee weapons for the rest of the battle.
