Detachment Rule
Assemblage of Might
When such exceptional warriors as these gather to quest in the Emperors name, even the most dreadful foes of Humanity are right to fear for their lives.
At the start of your Command phase, select one unit from your opponent’s army. Until the start of your next Command phase, each time a model in an Adeptus Custodes Character unit from your army makes an attack that targets that enemy unit, add 1 to the Wound roll.
