Detachment Rule

Pledges to the Dark Prince

Few appear as favoured by the Dark Prince as these warriors, their boons of power a reward for committing ever viler deeds in honour of their patron.

At the start of the battle round, if your WARLORD is on the battlefield, you must pledge a number to Slaanesh representing how many enemy units will be destroyed this battle round. At the end of the battle round, if the number of enemy units destroyed this battle round is greater than or equal to your pledge, you gain a number of Pact points equal to your pledge. Otherwise, you do not gain any Pact points this battle round and your WARLORD model suffers D3 mortal wounds.

Emperor’s Children units from your army gain a bonus depending on how many Pact points you have gained during the battle, as shown below (these are all cumulative).

PACT POINTSBONUS
1+Each time a model in this unit makes an attack, re-roll a Hit roll of 1.
3+Each time a model in this unit makes an attack, re-roll a Wound roll of 1.
5+Melee weapons equipped by models in this unit have the [LETHAL HITS] and [SUSTAINED HITS 1] abilities.
7+Each time a model in this unit makes an attack, a Critical Hit is scored on an unmodified Hit roll of 5+.
