Detachment Rule
Mechanised Murder
The Emperor’s Children are masters of the mechanised assault, leaping from their growling, daemonically tainted vehicles to fall upon the foe with blade and bolter.
Each time an Emperor’s Children model from your army makes an attack, if it is a Transport model or disembarked from a TRANSPORT this turn, re-roll a Hit roll of 1 and re-roll a Wound roll of 1.
