Pledges to the Dark Prince

At the start of the battle round, if your WARLORD is on the battlefield, you must pledge a number to Slaanesh representing how many enemy units will be destroyed this battle round. At the end of the battle round, if the number of enemy units destroyed this battle round is greater than or equal to your pledge, you gain a number of Pact points equal to your pledge. Otherwise, you do not gain any Pact points this battle round and your WARLORD model suffers D3 mortal wounds.

Emperor’s Children units from your army gain a bonus depending on how many Pact points you have gained during the battle, as shown below (these are all cumulative).

25 pts

Pledge of Dark Glory

Emperor’s Children model only. While the bearer is leading a unit, improve the Leadership and Objective Control characteristics of models in that unit by 1.

25 pts

Pledge of Eternal Servitude

Emperor’s Children model only. The first time the bearer is destroyed, take a Leadership test for the bearer at the end of the phase. If that test is passed, set the bearer back up on the battlefield, as close as possible to where it was destroyed and not within Engagement Range of one or more enemy units, with D6 wounds remaining (up to its Wounds characteristic).

15 pts

Pledge of Mortal Pain

Emperor’s Children model only. At the start of your Shooting phase, select one enemy unit within 12" of and visible to the bearer. That unit must take a Leadership test, subtracting 2 from the result if it is Battle-shocked: if failed, that enemy unit suffers 3 mortal wounds.

30 pts

Pledge of Unholy Fortune

Emperor’s Children model only. Once per turn, just after making a Hit roll, a Wound roll or a saving throw for a model in the bearer’s unit, if the bearer is not Battle-shocked, it can use this Enhancement. If it does, treat the result as an unmodified roll of 6 instead.
