Detachment Rule

Deadly Vectors

The plagues and parasites to which these elite warriors play host are amongst the most lethal in the galaxy. Moment by moment, even the most resilient foes sicken and wither in their presence until all that remains is rotted matter deliquescing sloppily from mouldering bones.

In your opponent’s Command phase, roll 2D6 for each Afflicted enemy unit, subtracting 1 from the result if that unit is Below Half-strength. If the result is 6 or less, that enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.
