Detachment Rules

Debt to the Soul Forge

Enhancements

Invigorated Mechatendrils

15 pts

Suffused with warp power, the bearer’s mechatendrils undulate with unsettling celerity, propelling them forwards with unnatural speed.

WARPSMITH* model only. Add 4" to the bearer’s Move characteristic.

Tempting Addendum

25 pts

The Arkifanes contracts are malleable by design. More power can be offered should the supplicant be willing to bear the debt in souls.

HERETIC ASTARTES* model only. Each time a HERETIC ASTARTES DAEMON VEHICLE unit from your army invokes its contract while within 3" of the bearer:
If it suffers one or more mortal wounds as a result of that Dark Pact, add 1 to the number of mortal wounds it suffers.
Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, you can re-roll the Hit roll.

Forge’s Blessing

20 pts

Such is this warrior’s mastery of techno-sorcery, that they may temper armour with but a gesture.

HERETIC ASTARTES* model only. In your Command phase, select one friendly HERETIC ASTARTES VEHICLE unit within 12" of the bearer. Until the start of your next Command phase, that unit has the Feel No Pain 6+ ability.

Soul Harvester

15 pts

To stoke the fires of a daemon forge requires a bounty of souls. Thus do the Warpsmiths and their allies undertake a never-ending harvest.

HERETIC ASTARTES* model only. While the bearer is on the battlefield, each time an enemy unit within 12" of the bearer is destroyed, roll one D6: on a 5+, you gain 1CP.
