Detachment Rules (1)

Malefic Surge

Calling upon heretical - often supernatural - powers, these Knights are infused with strange and ter
In your Command phase, one or more Chaos Knights units from your army can make a Malefic Surge. Each one that does must first take a Leadership test; if that test is failed, that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds. Then, until the start of your next Command phase, that unit is Empowered. While a unit is Empowered it can use one of the Malefic Surge abilities below. Once that unit has used a Malefic Surge ability, it is no longer Empowered.
  • Unholy Hunger: When a model in this unit makes a Normal, Advance or Fall Back move, until the end of the phase, add 3" to its Move characteristic.
  • Diabolic Power: When this unit is selected to shoot or fight, select either the [LETHAL HITS] or [SUSTAINED HITS 1] ability. Until the end of the phase, weapons equipped by models in this unit have the selected ability.
  • Unnatural Fortitude: When this unit is selected as the target of an attack, until the end of the phase, select one of the following:
    • Models in this unit have a 5+ invulnerable save.
    • Models in this unit have the Feel No Pain 6+ ability.

Designer’s Note: We recommend placing a token next to Chaos Knights models that are Empowered, removing it once they have used a Malefic Surge ability, and removing all unused tokens at the start of your Command phase.
