Harbingers of Dread #

If your Army Faction is CHAOS KNIGHTS, each unit from your army with this ability gains Dread abilities, depending which are active for your army (see below). The Deathly Terror ability is active for your army from the start of the battle. In addition, at the start of the first, third and fifth battle rounds, you can either select one of the other Dread abilities or randomly select two Dread abilities to apply by rolling two D6 and applying the results rolled, from those numbered 1-6 below.

Any Dread abilities that have been selected are active until the end of the battle. You cannot select the same Dread ability more than once, and any duplicated Dread abilities (as a result of randomly selecting them) have no additional effect.

N/A - Deathly Terror (Aura)

While an enemy unit is within 9" of this model, worsen the Leadership characteristic of models in that unit by 1

1 - Despair (Aura)

While an enemy unit is within 9" of this model, worsen the Leadership characteristic of models in that unit by 1. This is cumulative with the Deathly Terror ability [see above].

2 - Doom

Each time this model makes an attack, if the target of that attack is Battle-shocked, add 1 to the Wound roll.

3 - Darkness

This model has Stealth.

4 - Dismay (Aura)

In the Battle-shock step of your opponent’s Command phase, for each enemy unit that is below its Starting Strength and within 9" of this model, that enemy unit must take a Battle-shock test.

5 - Delirium (Aura)

While an enemy unit that is Below Half-strength is within 9" of this model, each time that unit fails a Battle-shock test, it suffers D3 mortal wounds.

6 - Dominion

Add 3"to the range of this model’s Aura abilities.
