Unsparing Execution

1 CP

Movement

Those who attempt to flee their rightful death only stoke their executioners’ hatred all the hotter. None can be spared the God‑Emperor’s wrath.

When:

Target:

That Sword Brethren squad unit.

Effect:

When an enemy unit engaged with your unit is selected to make a fall‑back move, that enemy unit must use the desperate escape mode, with ‑1 to those hazard rolls if that enemy unit is battle‑shocked.
