Detachment Rule
Murderous Imperative
The Skitarii fighting in a focused clade all but vibrate with the inloaded need to kill. This manifests not as wild rage, however, but rather as a coldly efficient drive to acquire the next target, bring it down with pinpoint fire or neatly placed thrusts, then find a new victim and repeat in an infinite loop.
Each time a model in a Skitarii unit from your army makes an attack:
- If the Protector Imperative is active for that unit, re-roll a Hit roll of 1.
- If the Conqueror Imperative is active for that unit, re-roll a Wound roll of 1.
