Empyric Suffusion
15 ptsSwirling clouds of perfumed empyric energy suffuse this leader’s followers, granting them daemonic vigour.
- EMPEROR'S CHILDREN* model only. When you target this unit with the Heroic Intervention stratagem, that use is -1 CP.
Dark Blessings
10 ptsThis warrior has earned the favour of the Dark Prince.
- EMPEROR’S CHILDREN INFANTRY* model only. Once per battle, just after an enemy unit has selected its targets, the bearer can use this Enhancement. If it does, until the end of the phase, the bearer has a 3+ invulnerable save.
Possessed Blade
25 ptsThe martial grace that this daemon weapon bestows upon its bearer comes at a price.
- EMPEROR’S CHILDREN* model only. At the start of the battle, select one melee weapon equipped by the bearer; add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of that weapon. In addition, each time the bearer is selected to fight, it can use this Enhancement. If it does, while resolving those attacks, add 1 to the Damage characteristic of that weapon and that weapon has the [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] and [HAZARDOUS] abilities.
Warp Walker
30 ptsThis champion of Slaanesh is so steeped in the warp as to be able to traverse its maddening depths at will.
- EMPEROR’S CHILDREN* or KEEPER OF SECRETS model only. Each time the bearer’s unit Advances, do not make an Advance roll. Instead, until the end of the phase, add 6" to the Move characteristic of models in that unit. Each time a model in the bearer’s unit makes a Normal, Advance or Fall Back move, it can move through enemy models. When doing so, it can move within Engagement Range of such models but cannot end that move within Engagement Range of them, and any Desperate Escape test is automatically passed.
