Detachment Rule
Masters of the Pack
By bending their tyrannical will upon their War Dog underlings, the masters of the hunt goad them to provide a constant stream of sensor data. This influx of supplementary targeting, prey-seeking and omnisensory analysis enhances the scions’ ability to hunt alongside their snarling ironclad hounds.
If a Titanic Chaos Knights unit from your army has an Aura ability that affects friendly War Dog units, while two or more friendly WAR DOG models are within range of that TITANIC CHAOS KNIGHTS unit’s Aura ability, that TITANIC CHAOS KNIGHTS unit is affected by that Aura ability as well.
Example: Two friendly WAR DOG models are within 9" of a Knight Desecrator when it is selected to shoot. As a result, the KNIGHT DESECRATOR’s Taskmaster ability also affects itself, even though it does not have the WAR DOG keyword, so each time that KNIGHT DESECRATOR makes a ranged attack, Hit rolls of 1 are re-rolled.
