Datasheet-related Stratagems
THE BLEEDING EDGE1CP
Drukhari – Boarding Actions – Battle Tactic Stratagem
The Drukhari never venture anywhere without a plethora of blades about their person. So it is that these fighters strike at visors, eyes and armour joins with hard-won skill.
Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when a DRUKHARI unit from your army is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, that unit loses its Blade Artists ability, but each time a melee attack is made by a model in that unit, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.
ART OF THE KILL2CP/3CP
Cult of Strife – Battle Tactic Stratagem
Nothing is of greater importance to the Cult of Strife than an artful kill, and no greater spectacle than when they put their refined tastes into practice.
Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when a CULT OF STRIFE unit from your army is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes a melee attack, you can re-roll the wound roll. If that unit has 11 or more models, this Stratagem costs 3CP; otherwise, it costs 2CP.
DANCE OF DEATH1CP
Cult of Strife – Battle Tactic Stratagem
Borrowing from the performances of their Harlequin kindred, the Wyches of the Cult of Strife add their own unique flourishes to the dance of death, leaping and pirouetting past mesmerised enemies in preparation for the inevitable crescendo of violence.
Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase, when a CULT OF STRIFE unit in your army is selected to move, or in your Charge phase, when a CULT OF STRIFE unit in your army is selected to charge. Until the end of the phase, each time that unit makes a Normal Move, Advances, Falls Back or it makes a charge move, until that move is finished, models in that unit can move horizontally through models and terrain features (they cannot finish a move on top of another model, or its base).
CRUEL DECEPTION1CP/2CP
Drukhari – Battle Tactic Stratagem
Commorrite society is founded upon opportunistic deception.
Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase, when a DRUKHARI unit from your army Falls Back. You can select for this unit to be eligible to shoot this turn or eligible to declare a charge this turn, or both. If you select both, this Stratagem costs 2CP; otherwise, it costs 1CP.
THE GREAT ENEMY1CP
Drukhari – Battle Tactic Stratagem
The Chaos God Slaanesh is reviled by the Aeldari, who hate and despise his followers with a ferocious loathing.
Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when a DRUKHARI unit from your army is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes a melee attack against a SLAANESH unit, you can re-roll the hit roll and you can re-roll wound roll.
THE TORTURER’S CRAFT1CP/2CP
Drukhari – Battle Tactic Stratagem
Over long millennia in Commorragh’s undercity, the Haemonculus Covens have perfected the craft of carving flesh.
Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase when URIEN RAKARTH or a unit from your army is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, you can re-roll the wound roll. If this Stratagem is used when a CHARACTER or WRACKS unit that contains 10 or less models is selected to fight, it costs 1CP; otherwise, it costs 2CP.
LIGHTNING-FAST REACTIONS1CP
Drukhari – Battle Tactic Stratagem
The hyper-fast reflexes of the Drukhari allow them to duck and weave to avoid all but the swiftest enemy strikes.
Use this Stratagem in your opponents Shooting phase or the Fight phase, when a DRUKHARI INFANTRY, DRUKHARI VEHICLE or DRUKHARI BIKER unit from your army (excluding URIEN RAKARTH or a unit) is selected as the target of an attack. Until the end of the phase, each time an attack is made against that unit, subtract 1 from that attack’s hit roll.
HUNT FROM THE SHADOWS1CP
Drukhari – Battle Tactic Stratagem
The denizens of Commorragh use the shadows to their advantage.
Use this Stratagem in your opponent’s Shooting phase, when a DRUKHARI unit from your army that has the benefits of Light Cover is selected as the target of a ranged attack. Until the end of that phase, add an additional 1 to that unit’s saving throws (excluding invulnerable saving throws).
PRAY THEY DON’T TAKE YOU ALIVE1CP
Drukhari – Epic Deed Stratagem
Few armies are able to maintain their mettle when the sounds of their leader’s tortured screams fill the air.
Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when an enemy WARLORD unit is destroyed by a melee attack made by a DRUKHARI unit from your army. Until the end of the battle, each time a Combat Attrition test is taken for an enemy unit, subtract 1 from that Combat Attrition test.
MOVING TARGET1CP
Drukhari – Boarding Actions – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
Drukhari Kabalites are masters of firing accurately on the move, knowing that their best defence is to never be a sitting target.
Use this Stratagem at the start of your Shooting phase. Select one unit from your army. Until the end of the phase, that unit counts as having Remained Stationary in your previous Movement phase.
MERCIES OF THE HAEMONCULUS1CP
Drukhari – Boarding Actions – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
Some Haemonculi surgically graft pain suppressors and vials of rapid healing agents into their servants, which the Haemonculus can cause to come into effect whenever they will. Should any of their creations particularly impress them, the Haemonculus may feel inclined to activate these grafts, helping grant them more life to serve longer.
Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when an enemy unit is destroyed by an attack made by a model in a unit from your army. Until the end of the battle, each time a model in that unit would lose a wound, roll one D6: on a 4+, that wound is not lost.
MURDEROUS DESCENT1CP
Drukhari – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
As their transports descend, Drukhari are swift to plunge into their prey, blades bared.
Use this Stratagem in the Reinforcements step, after a TRANSPORT unit from your army is set up on the battlefield. Any units embarked upon that TRANSPORT unit can disembark after it is set up, but when they do so, they must be set up more than 9" away from any enemy units.
SWIFT OUTFLANKING1CP
Drukhari – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
Transport barques seek to ferry their murderous cargo on new attack angles, or else move aloft to provide encircling fire support.
Use this Stratagem at the end of your Movement phase. Select one DRUKHARI TRANSPORT unit from your army that is wholly within 9" of any battlefield edge. Remove that unit from the battlefield. That unit is placed into Strategic Reserves.
SCREAMING JETS1CP
Drukhari – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
Just as terrifying as a sudden emergence from the webway is the meteoric descent of a Drukhari raiding craft behind enemy lines.
Use this Stratagem before the battle when declaring reserves and transports (if you are playing a mission without this step, use this Stratagem during deployment instead). You can set up one DRUKHARI VEHICLE unit from your army in the skies instead of placing it on the battlefield.
In the Reinforcements step of one of your Movement phases, you can set up this unit anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models. You can only use this Stratagem once.
In the Reinforcements step of one of your Movement phases, you can set up this unit anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models. You can only use this Stratagem once.
NEVER STATIONARY2CP
Drukhari – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
The Drukhari are masters at using hit-and-run tactics, engaging a target with a flurry of shots before quickly manoeuvring into cover or out of sight.
Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase after making attacks with a DRUKHARI unit (excluding AIRCRAFT units) from your army. That unit can immediately make a Normal Move of up to 7". Until the end of the turn, that unit is not eligible to declare a charge.
EVISCERATING FLY-BY1CP/2CP
Drukhari – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
The airborne combatants of a Wych Cult have no need to slow down in order to carry out their slaughter.
Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase, when you select a unit that can FLY to make a Normal Move or Advance. After this unit has moved, select one enemy unit this unit moved across and roll one D6 for each model in this unit, adding 1 to the result if the enemy unit is an INFANTRY unit: for each result of 5+, that enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound. If the selected unit contains 5 or fewer models, this Stratagem costs 1CP; otherwise, it costs 2CP.
ATHLETIC AERIALISTS1CP
Cult of the Red Grief – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
Wyches of the Red Grief set foot on solid ground only for as long as it takes to butcher the enemy.
Use this Stratagem after a CULT OF THE RED GRIEF INFANTRY unit has resolved its close combat attacks, but before it makes a consolidation move. Instead of consolidating as normal, if every model from this unit is within 6" of a friendly CULT OF THE RED GRIEF TRANSPORT unit, they can embark in that TRANSPORT as if it were the Movement phase even if this unit has disembarked this turn, provided it has enough transport capacity remaining to embark the whole unit.
AGENTS OF VECT0CP
Kabal of the Black Heart – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
The Supreme Overlord of Commorragh develops countermeasures for every conceivable course of events.
Use this Stratagem after your opponent uses a Stratagem (excluding Command Re-roll). Until the end of the battle, the CP cost your opponent must pay to use that Stratagem again is increased by 1. This Stratagem can only be used once.
PICK THEM APART2CP
Cult of Strife – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
In the swirl of battle, the Cult of Strife change their partners in combat frequently, somersaulting from one violent engagement only to engage in another as they see fit.
Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase, when a CULT OF STRIFE unit from your army Falls Back. That unit is eligible to shoot and/or charge this turn even though it Fell Back.
MERCIES OF THE HAEMONCULUS1CP
Coteries of the Haemonculi – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
Some Haemonculi surgically graft pain-suppressors and vials of rapid healing agents into their servants, which the Haemonculus can cause to come into effect whenever they will. Should any of their creations particularly impress them, the Haemonculus may feel inclined to activate these grafts, helping grant them more life to serve longer.
Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when an enemy unit is destroyed by an attack made by a model in a COTERIES OF THE HAEMONCULI unit from your army. Until the end of the battle, each time a model in that COTERIES OF THE HAEMONCULI unit would lose a wound, roll one D6: on a 4+, that wound is not lost.
VISIONS OF BUTCHERY1CP
Coteries of the Haemonculi – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
The mutilated appearance of the Haemonculi’s servants, combined with the general fear of battle and death, deeply unnerves foes.
Use this Stratagem at the end of your Charge phase. Select one enemy unit within Engagement Range of one or more COTERIES OF THE HAEMONCULI units from your army. Roll one D6: on a 2+, until the start of your next Charge phase, that enemy unit loses the Objective Secured ability.
BRUTAL VIVISECTION1CP
Coteries of the Haemonculi – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
The servants of the Haemonculi always strive to impress their lieges. One such tactic is to carve up their foes in particularly revolting and inventive ways. Such a deed also inspires much fear in the enemy.
Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when a COTERIES OF THE HAEMONCULI model from your army destroys a model in an enemy unit (excluding VEHICLE units). The next time that enemy unit is selected to fight, until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, subtract 1 from that attack’s wound roll.
ENHANCED AETHERSAILS1CP
Drukhari – Wargear Stratagem
Drukhari raiding craft bear many enhancements that allow for lightning-fast attacks and swift withdrawals.
Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase, when a RAIDER or RAVAGER unit from your army is selected to Advance. Do not make an Advance roll. Instead, until the end of the phase, add 8" to the Move characteristic of this model.
SHOCK PROW1CP
Drukhari – Wargear Stratagem
Many Drukhari outfit their vehicles with energised rams which, when activated, emit directional waves of force, capable of carving through infantry formations and even shattering the hulls of tanks.
Use this Stratagem in the Charge phase, when a DRUKHARI SHOCK PROW unit from your army finishes a charge move. Select one enemy unit within Engagement Range of that SHOCK PROW unit:
- If the selected enemy unit is a VEHICLE unit, roll one D6: on a 2+, that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.
- If the selected enemy unit is not a VEHICLE unit, roll one D6 for each model in that enemy unit that is within Engagement Range of the SHOCK PROW unit. For each dice result that equals or exceeds that enemy unit’s Toughness characteristic, it suffers 1 mortal wound.
HYPERSTIMM BACKLASH1CP
Drukhari – Boarding Actions – Wargear Stratagem
Heedless of the brutal effects of overdosing, members of a Wych Cult may take a massive dose of combat drugs to further enhance their combat prowess.
Use this Stratagem in your Command phase. Select one unit (excluding LELITH HESPERAX) from your army. Until your next Command phase, each effect of the Combat Drugs ability on that unit is doubled (e.g. if the unit is affected by Painbringer, add 2 to the Toughness characteristic of models affected by that combat drug instead of 1).
PISTOL
Due to their compact size, pistols can even be used in melee to shoot at point-blank range.A model can make attacks with a Pistol even when its unit is within Engagement Range of enemy units, but it must target an enemy unit that is within Engagement Range of its own unit when it does so. In such circumstances, the model can target an enemy unit even if other friendly units are within Engagement Range of the same enemy unit.
When a model equipped with both a Pistol and another type of ranged weapon (e.g. a Pistol and a Rapid Fire weapon) shoots, it can either shoot with its Pistol(s) or with its other ranged weapons. Choose which it will fire (Pistols or non-Pistols) before selecting targets.
- Can be shot even if firing model’s unit is within Engagement Range of enemy unit.
- Cannot be shot alongside any other type of weapon.
ASSAULT
Assault weapons fire so rapidly or indiscriminately that they can be shot from the hip as warriors dash forwards into combat.If a unit includes any models equipped with Assault weapons, that unit is still eligible to shoot with in your Shooting phase even if it has Advanced this turn, but you can only resolve attacks using those Assault weapons when you select that unit to shoot with. If a model shoots an Assault weapon in the same turn in which its unit has Advanced, subtract 1 from hit rolls when resolving that weapon’s attacks.
- Can be shot even if firing model’s unit Advanced.
- Subtract 1 from hit rolls if the firing model’s unit Advanced.

Blast Weapons
Some weapons have ‘Blast’ listed in their profile’s abilities. These are referred to as Blast weapons. In addition to the normal rules, the following rules apply to Blast weapons:- If a Blast weapon targets a unit that has between 6 and 10 models, it always makes a minimum of 3 attacks. So if, when determining how many attacks are made with that weapon, the dice rolled results in less than 3 attacks being made, make 3 attacks instead. For example, if a Grenade D6 weapon with the Blast rule targets a unit that has 6 or more models, and you roll a 2 to determine how many attacks are made, that roll is counted as being a 3 and that weapon makes three attacks against that unit.
- When a Blast weapon targets a unit that has 11 or more models, do not roll dice to randomly determine how many attacks are made – instead, make the maximum possible number of attacks. For example, if a Grenade D6 weapon with the Blast rule targets a unit that has 11 or more models, that weapon makes six attacks against that unit.
- Blast Weapons: Minimum three attacks against units with 6+ models. Always make maximum number of attacks against units with 11+ models.
- Can never be used to attack units within the firing unit’s Engagement Range.
Mortal Wounds
Some attacks inflict mortal wounds – these are so powerful that no armour or force field can withstand their fury. Each mortal wound inflicts 1 point of damage on the target unit, and they are always applied one at a time. Do not make a wound roll or saving throw (including invulnerable saves) against a mortal wound – just allocate it as you would any other attack and inflict damage to a model in the target unit. Unlike damage inflicted by normal attacks, excess damage from mortal wounds is not lost. Instead, keep allocating damage to another model in the target unit until either all the damage has been allocated or the target unit is destroyed.If an attack inflicts mortal wounds in addition to the normal damage, resolve the normal damage first. If an attack inflicts mortal wounds in addition to the normal damage, but the normal damage is subsequently saved, the target unit still suffers the mortal wounds, as described before. If an ability modifies the damage inflicted by a weapon, and that weapon can inflict mortal wounds in addition to the normal damage, the modifier does not apply to any mortal wounds that are inflicted (unless the rule specifically states otherwise).
- Each mortal wound inflicted on a unit causes one model in the unit to lose one wound.
- No saving throws can be made against mortal wounds.
- Mortal wounds inflicted by attacks in addition to normal damage always apply, even if normal damage saved.
Select Weapon
When a model makes a close combat attack, it must do so using a melee weapon (i.e. a weapon that has the ‘Melee’ type). The weapons a model is equipped with are described on its datasheet. If a model is not equipped with any melee weapons, or if it cannot make an attack with any of the melee weapons it is equipped with, then that model makes its attacks using a close combat weapon, which has the following profile:
|
If a model has more than one melee weapon, select which it will use before resolving any attacks. If a model has more than one melee weapon and can make several attacks, it can split them between these weapons however you wish – declare which attacks are being made with which weapons before any attacks are resolved. 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. Different attacks made with such a weapon can be made using different profiles if you wish.
If your unit is making attacks with more than one melee weapon against a unit, and those weapons have different characteristics profiles, then after you have resolved an attack with one of those weapons you must, if any other weapons with the same characteristics profile are also being used to make attacks against that unit, resolve those attacks before resolving any attacks against the target with a weapon that has a different characteristics profile. Note that all the attacks you have declared are always resolved against the target unit even if, when you come to resolve an individual attack, no models in the target unit remain in range (this can happen because of models being destroyed and removed from the battlefield as the result of resolving other attacks made by the attacking model’s unit first).
- Each close combat attack is made with a melee weapon.
- A model makes attacks using the close combat weapon profile if it has no other melee weapons.
- If a unit attacks with multiple weapons, all attacks made with weapons that have the same profile must be resolved before resolving attacks with the next.
Saving Throw
The player commanding the target unit then makes one saving throw by rolling one D6 and modifying the roll by the Armour Penetration (AP) characteristic of the weapon that the attack was made with. For example, if the weapon has an AP of -1, then 1 is subtracted from the saving throw roll. If the result is equal to, or greater than, the Save (Sv) characteristic of the model the attack was allocated to, then the saving throw is successful and the attack sequence ends. If the result is less than the model’s Save characteristic, then the saving throw fails and the model suffers damage. An unmodified roll of 1 always fails.
Invulnerable Saves
Some models have an invulnerable save. Each time an attack is allocated to a model with an invulnerable save, you can choose to use either its normal Save (Sv) characteristic or its invulnerable save, but not both. If a model has more than one invulnerable save, it can only use one of them – choose which it will use. If you use a model’s invulnerable save, it is never modified by a weapon’s Armour Penetration value.- Invulnerable save: Saving throw that is never modified by attacking weapon’s AP.
- A model with an invulnerable save can use it instead of its normal Sv.
Engagement Range
Engagement Range represents the zone of threat that models present to their enemies. While a model is within 1" horizontally and 5" vertically of an enemy model, those models are within Engagement Range of each other. While two enemy models are within Engagement Range of each other, those models’ units are also within Engagement Range of each other. Models cannot be set up within Engagement Range of enemy models.- Engagement Range: 1" horizontally + 5" vertically.
- Models cannot be set up within Engagement Range of enemy models.
Charging with a Unit
Once you have chosen an eligible unit to declare a charge with, you must select one or more enemy units within 12" of it as the targets of its charge. The target(s) of this charge do not need to be visible to the charging unit. You then make a charge roll for your unit by rolling 2D6. This is the maximum number of inches each model in the charging unit can now be moved if they can make the charge move. To make a charge move, the unit’s charge roll must be sufficient that it is able to end that move in unit coherency and within Engagement Range of every unit that was a target of its charge, without moving within Engagement Range of any enemy units that were not a target of its charge. If this is possible, then the charge is successful and the models in the unit make a charge move so as to fulfil the above conditions. If this is impossible, the charge fails and no models in the charging unit move this phase.- Declare targets of the charge (must be within 12").
- Charge roll = 2D6".
- If insufficient to move charging unit into Engagement Range of all targets, charge fails.
- If charge successful, models make their charge move.
- Cannot make a charge move within Engagement Range of any unit that was not the target of the charge.
Advance
When a unit makes an Advance, make an Advance roll for the unit by rolling one D6. Add the result in inches to the Move (M) characteristic of each model in that unit until the end of the current phase. Each model in that unit can then move a distance in inches equal to or less than this total, but no model can be moved within Engagement Range of enemy models. A unit cannot shoot or declare a charge in the same turn that it made an Advance.- Advance: Models move up to M+D6".
- Cannot move within Engagement Range of enemy models.
- Units that Advance cannot shoot or charge this turn.
Hit Roll
When a model makes an attack, make one hit roll for that attack by rolling one D6. If the result of the hit roll is equal to or greater than the attacking model’s Ballistic Skill (BS) characteristic (if the attack is being made with a ranged weapon) or its Weapon Skill (WS) characteristic (if the attack is being made with a melee weapon), then that attack scores one hit against the target unit. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends.If an attack is made with a weapon that has an ability that says it ‘automatically hits the target’, no hit roll is made – that attack simply scores one hit on the target unit. An unmodified hit roll of 6 always scores a hit, and an unmodified hit roll of 1 always fails. A hit roll can never be modified by more than -1 or +1. This means that if, after all the cumulative modifiers to a hit roll have been calculated, the total modifier would be -2 or worse, it is changed to be -1. Similarly, if, after all the cumulative modifiers to a hit roll have been calculated, the total modifier would be +2 or better, it is changed to be +1.
HEAVY
Heavy weapons are amongst the biggest guns on the battlefield, but they require bracing to fire at full effect and are unwieldy to bring to bear at close quarters.When an INFANTRY model shoots a Heavy weapon, subtract 1 from the hit rolls when resolving that weapon’s attacks if the firing model’s unit has moved for any reason this turn (e.g. it made a Normal Move this turn).
- Subtract 1 from hit rolls if firing model is INFANTRY and its unit has moved this turn.
Morale Tests
To take a Morale test, roll one D6 and add the number of models from the unit that have been destroyed this turn. If the result is equal to or less than the highest Leadership (Ld) characteristic in the unit, the Morale test is passed and nothing else happens. An unmodified roll of 1 also always results in a passed Morale test, irrespective of the total result. 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. You decide which model from your unit flees – that model is removed from play and counts as having been destroyed, but it never triggers any rules that are used when a model is destroyed.- Morale test = D6 + number of models destroyed this turn.
- Unmodified roll of 1 always a success (no models flee).
- If Morale test exceeds unit’s Ld, one model flees and other models must take Combat Attrition tests.
Power From Pain
As the Drukhari feed on the souls of the slain, they become imbued with supernatural might, eventually turning into killing machines.
This ability only applies if every unit in your army is a DRUKHARI or UNALIGNED unit. At the start of each battle round, this ability gains additional effects. These effects are cumulative.| BATTLE ROUND | ADDITIONAL EFFECT |
| 1+ | Inured to Suffering: Models in this unit have a 6+ invulnerable save. |
| 2+ | Eager to Flay: This unit is eligible to declare a charge in a turn in which they Advanced. |
| 3+ | Flensing Fury: Each time a model in this unit makes a melee attack, add 1 to that attack’s hit roll. If this unit has the VEHICLE or MONSTER keyword, it does not suffer the penalty incurred to its hit rolls for firing Heavy weapons at enemy units that are within Engagement Range of it. |
| 4+ | Mantle of Agony: Models in this unit have a 5+ invulnerable save. |
| 5+ | Emboldened by Bloodshed: Each time a Morale test is taken for this unit, it is automatically passed. If this unit's characteristics can change as it suffers damage, this unit is considered to have double the number of wounds remaining for the purposes of determining what those characteristics are. |

Fall Back
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. A unit cannot declare a charge in the same turn that it Fell Back. A unit cannot shoot or attempt to manifest a psychic power in the same turn that it Fell Back unless it is TITANIC.- Fall Back: Models move up to M".
- Units that Fall Back cannot charge this turn.
- Units that Fall Back cannot shoot or manifest psychic powers this turn unless they are TITANIC.
Wound Roll
Each time an attack scores a hit against a target unit, make a wound roll for that attack by rolling one D6 to see if that attack successfully wounds the target. The result required is determined by comparing the attacking weapon’s Strength (S) characteristic with the target’s Toughness (T) characteristic, as shown on the following table:
| ||||||||||||||
If the result of the wound roll is less than the required number, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. An unmodified wound roll of 6 always successfully wounds the target, and an unmodified wound roll of 1 always fails. A wound roll can never be modified by more than -1 or +1. This means that if, after all the cumulative modifiers to a wound roll have been calculated, the total modifier would be -2 or worse, it is changed to be -1. Similarly, if, after all the cumulative modifiers to a wound roll have been calculated, the total modifier would be +2 or better, it is changed to be +1.

Light Cover
When an attack made with a ranged weapon wounds a model that is receiving the benefits of cover from this terrain feature, add 1 to the saving throw made against that attack (invulnerable saving throws are not affected).- +1 to saving throws against ranged weapons.
- Invulnerable saving throws unaffected.
Blade Artists
Every denizen of Commorragh learns from a young age the value of blades, and all are adept in their usage, whether those wielded by their cruel hands or as part of their razor-edged armour.
Each time a model in this unit makes an attack with a melee weapon, on an unmodified wound roll of 6, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.The Warlord
While mustering your army, you can nominate one model (except a model with the FORTIFICATION keyword) to be your Warlord. That model gains the WARLORD keyword. If this model is a CHARACTER, you can also assign a Warlord Trait to it. Note, that more than one model in your army can have a Warlord Trait (e.g. by using Stratagems), but they are only considered your Warlord for the purpose of that trait.
Combat Attrition Tests
If a unit fails a Morale test, then after the first model has fled the unit, you must take Combat Attrition tests. To do so, roll one D6 for each remaining model in that unit, subtracting 1 from the result if the unit is below Half-strength; for each result of 1, one additional model flees that unit. You decide which models from your unit flee – those models are removed from play and count as having been destroyed, but they never trigger any rules that are used when a model is destroyed.- Combat Attrition tests: Roll one D6 for each remaining model in unit; for each 1, one additional model flees.
- Subtract 1 from Combat Attrition tests if unit is below Half-strength.
COMMAND RE-ROLL1CP
Core Stratagem
Use this Stratagem after you have made a hit roll, a wound roll, a damage roll, a saving throw, an Advance roll, a charge roll, a Psychic test, a Deny the Witch test or you have rolled the dice to determine the number of attacks made by a weapon. Re-roll that roll, test or saving throw.
Normal Move
When a unit makes a Normal Move, each model in that unit can move a distance in inches equal to or less than the Move (M) characteristic shown on its datasheet, but no model can be moved within Engagement Range of enemy models.- Normal Move: Models move up to M".
- Cannot move within Engagement Range of any enemy models.
Remain Stationary
If a unit Remains Stationary, none of its models can be moved for the rest of the phase. Any units from your army that were on the battlefield and were not selected to move in the Move Units step of the Movement phase are assumed to have Remained Stationary that phase.- Remain Stationary: Models cannot move this phase.

Fortifications
Performing a Heroic Intervention
When a unit performs a Heroic Intervention, you can move each model in that unit up to 3" – this is a Heroic Intervention move. Each model in the unit must finish its Heroic Intervention move closer to the closest enemy model. Remember that a unit must finish any type of move in unit coherency.- Heroic Intervention: Move up to 3".
- Must end closer to the closest enemy model.
Combat Drugs
Exotic chemical stimulants are widely used to heighten combat performance, despite the risk of a deadly overdose.
Units with this ability gain additional abilities depending on which combat drugs they are using during this battle. Before the battle, determine what additional abilities are granted to each unit from your army with the Combat Drugs ability. You can select one of the abilities from the table below for that unit. Alternatively, you can randomly determine two abilities from the table for units with the Combat Drugs ability by rolling two D6 and looking up the result (if a double is rolled, roll both dice again until two different results are rolled). Combat Drug effects must be noted on your army roster. If you wish to randomly determine a units Combat Drugs abilities, simply write ‘Random’ on your roster.| D6 | COMBAT DRUGS |
| 1 | Adrenalight: Each time this unit fights, if it made a charge move or performed a Heroic Intervention this turn, then until that fight is resolved, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of models in this unit. |
| 2 | Grave Lotus: Add 1 to the Strength characteristic of models in this unit. |
| 3 | Hypex: Add 2" to the Move characteristic of models in this unit. |
| 4 | Painbringer: Add 1 to the Toughness characteristic of models in this unit. |
| 5 | Serpentin: Improve the Weapon Skill characteristic of models in this unit by 1. |

Flying
If a unit’s datasheet has the FLY keyword, then when it makes a Normal Move, an Advance or it Falls Back, its models can be moved across other models (and their bases) as if they were not there, and they can be moved within Engagement Range of enemy models. In addition, any vertical distance up and/or down that they make as part of that move is ignored. However, these models cannot finish their move either on top of another model (or its base) or within Engagement Range of any enemy models.- FLY models can move over other models when they make a Normal Move, an Advance or when they Fall Back.
- FLY models ignore vertical distances when they make a Normal Move, an Advance or when they Fall Back.

Consolidate
When a unit consolidates, you can move each model in the unit up to 3" – this is a Consolidation move. Each model must finish its Consolidation move closer to the closest enemy model. A model that is already touching an enemy model cannot move, but still counts as having consolidated. Remember that a unit must finish any type of move in unit coherency.- Consolidate: Move up to 3".
- Must end closer to the closest enemy model.
The CULT OF THE RED GRIEF and TRANSPORT keywords are used in the following Drukhari datasheets:
Heavy Support
Transport Capacity
All TRANSPORT models have a transport capacity listed on their datasheet. This determines how many friendly models, and of what type, can embark within them. A model’s transport capacity can never be exceeded.Units can start the battle embarked within a TRANSPORT instead of being set up separately – declare what units are embarked within a TRANSPORT model before you set it up.
- Transport capacity: Maximum number of models that can embark within the Transport.
- Units can start the battle embarked in a TRANSPORT.

RAPID FIRE
Rapid fire weapons are versatile armaments capable of aimed single shots at long range or controlled bursts of fire at close quarters.When a model shoots a Rapid Fire weapon, double the number of attacks it makes if its target is within half the weapon’s range.
- Double number of attacks made if target is within half range.
Objective Secured
Some units have an ability called Objective Secured. A player controls an objective marker if they have any models with this ability within range of that objective marker, even if there are more enemy models within range of that objective marker. If an enemy model within range of an objective marker also has this ability (or a similar ability), then the objective marker is controlled by the player who has the most models within range of that objective marker as normal.- Objective Secured: Player controls objective marker if any of their models in range have this ability.

If a unit starts its Movement phase embarked within a TRANSPORT model, that unit can disembark in that phase so long as the model itself has not yet made a Normal Move, an Advance or has Fallen Back that phase.When a unit disembarks, set it up on the battlefield so that it is wholly within 3" of the TRANSPORT model and not within Engagement Range of any enemy models.
Units that disembark can then act normally (move, shoot, charge, fight, etc.) in the remainder of the turn, but its models count as having moved that turn, even if they are not moved further (i.e. they never count as having Remained Stationary).
- Units that start their Movement phase embarked in a TRANSPORT can disembark this phase.
- A unit must disembark before their TRANSPORT moves.
- Disembarking units must be set up wholly within 3" of their TRANSPORT and not within Engagement Range of any enemy models.
- Units that have disembarked count as having moved this turn.
