Enhancements

Dark Vitality

20 pts

Surrounded by terror and pain, this champion of the Dark City is a veritable conduit of cruel vitality.

DRUKHARI* model only. The bearer’s unit is always Empowered – you do not need to spend any Pain tokens to activate that unit’s Pain abilities.

Labyrinthine Cunning

25 pts

This Archon’s intellect is towering, and their gift for devious politicking and vicious cunning is almost peerless.

ARCHON* model only. At the start of your Command phase, if the bearer is on the battlefield, you can do one of the following:
Spend 1 Pain token and gain 1CP.
Roll one D6: on a 4+, you gain 1CP.

Eye of Spite

15 pts

Having battled the most hulking and heavily armoured opponents in the arena, this Succubus can spot and exploit the slightest weakness in their enemy’s defences.

SUCCUBUS* model only. Improve the Attacks and Armour Penetration characteristics of the bearer’s melee weapons by 1. Each time the bearer’s unit is selected to fight, you can spend 1 Pain token; if you do, until the end of the phase, improve the Attacks and Armour Penetration characteristics of the bearer’s melee weapons by 2 instead.

Crucible of Malediction

15 pts

This repulsive artefact contains the tortured souls of psykers. When released, these essences scream across the battlefield, spreading terror and madness.

HAEMONCULUS* model only. Once per battle, in your Shooting phase, the bearer can use this Enhancement. If it does, you can spend 1 Pain token. Then, each enemy unit within 12" of the bearer must take a Battle‑shock test, subtracting 1 from that test if you spent 1 Pain token. Each time a PSYKER unit fails that test, it suffers 3 mortal wounds.
