Detachment Rule
Internal Rivalries
The boldest and most debased champions of Slaanesh may gain the benefit of the Dark Princes boons. Yet none hold Slaanesh’s favour for long, for always another seeks to wrest his favour from their rivals.
Emperor’s Children Character units from your army can ignore any or all modifiers to their Move characteristic and any or all modifiers to Advance and Charge rolls made for them.
At the start of the battle, your WARLORD’s unit is your army’s Favoured Champions. The first time in each player’s turn that an EMPEROR’S CHILDREN CHARACTER unit from your army destroys an enemy unit, after resolving all of its attacks, that CHARACTER unit becomes your army’s new Favoured Champions, replacing the old one.
Each time a model in your army’s Favoured Champions unit makes an attack, you can re-roll the Wound roll.
