Detachment Rule
Knights of Legend
Warriors such as these are truly indomitable. Driven on by deadly oaths, bolstered by ancient technology or shimmering with supernatural energies, they stride through the most punishing firestorms to emerge victorious on the other side.
Imperial Knights models from your army have the Feel No Pain 6+ ability. In addition, at the start of your Command phase, each IMPERIAL KNIGHTS model from your army regains 1 lost wound.
