Detachment Rule
Debt to the Soul Forge
Many are the daemons who have forged pacts with Vashtorr the Arkifane. Once bound into such a contract, a soul debt must be paid, one that the daemon strives endlessly, and with all its desperation, to fulfil.
Each time a HERETIC ASTARTES DAEMON VEHICLE unit from your army makes a Dark Pact, it can invoke its contract. If it does, subtract 1 from the resulting Leadership test when making that Dark Pact, and until the end of the phase:
- Each time a model in that unit makes a ranged attack, add 1 to the Wound roll.
- Add 2 to the Attacks characteristic of melee weapons equipped by models in that unit.
