Detachment Rule
Regenerative Agony
The twisted physiologies of the Haemonculus fleshcrafters’ creations are inured to all but the most terrible injuries. The greater and more terrible the agonies inflicted upon their hideous forms, the more formidable their regenerative abilities become.
Each time four or more Feel No Pain rolls are successful for HAEMONCULUS COvENS models from your army in a single phase, you gain 1 Pain token. In addition, each battle round, the first time a HAEMONCULUS COVENS unit from your army becomes Empowered in that battle round, roll one D6: on a 2-5, one model in that unit regains 1 lost wound or, if that unit has the WRACKS keyword, one destroyed model is returned to it with its full wounds remaining; on a 6, one model in that unit regains up to 2 lost wounds or, if that unit has the WRACKS keyword, one destroyed model is returned to it with its full wounds remaining.
