Dark Purpose
Once they have set themselves to the task of conquest, warriors such as these neither hesitate nor turn aside.
Each time a HERETIC ASTARTES unit from your army Consolidates, if it is not within Engagement Range of one or more enemy units, then until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes a Consolidation move, it can move towards the closest objective marker, but only if, after all models have done so, that unit is within range of that objective marker and in Unit Coherency.
