Detachment Rule
Rad-bombardment
Whether as a result of natural phenomena, apocalyptic internecine strife or calamitous accidents, many forge worlds are heavily irradiated. When holy wars of requisition are unleashed, the Tech-Priests think nothing of turning this invisible curse upon their foes, bombarding the battlefield with deadly radiation prior to an assault.
BATTLE ROUND
BOMBARDMENT1

- Unit Standing Firm: On a 3+, that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.
- Unit Taking Cover: Until the end of the battle round, that unit is Battle-shocked and, on a 5+, that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.
