Detachment Rule
Determined Defence
All too aware of the value of that which they defend, these warriors fight harder than ever, weaving around incoming enemy fire and shrugging off wounds that might otherwise see them laid low.
Each time an attack targets a GUARDiANS or DiRE AvENGERS unit from your army, if that unit is within range of an objective marker, add 1 to any armour saving throw made against that attack.
