Detachment Rule
Priority Quarry
With merciless efficiency, the Sisters of Silence mark their priority prey amidst the maelstrom of shiphoard combat, then focus on their elimination above all else.
At the start of the first battle round, you can select up to two enemy units to be your army’s quarry, one of which must be your opponents WARLORD. Each time an ANATHEMA PSYKANA unit from your army makes an attack that targets one of your army’s quarries, re-roll a Hit roll of 1. Each time an ANATHEMA PSYKANA unit from your army declares a charge, it can include one or more of your army’s quarries as targets of that charge, even if they are not visible to it.
