Detachment Rule
Miasmic Bombardment
In the wake of preparatory bombardment by artillery weapons both forbidden and foul, the surviving foe are left reeling amidst clouds of plague smog. With their flesh running like tallow and their weapons rusting in their hands, they will be hard-pressed to fight back.
At the start of the battle round, select a number of enemy units more than 12" away from every model from your army that is on the battlefield. Until the end of the battle round, those enemy units are Afflicted. The maximum number of units you can select in this way depends on the battle size, as shown below.
