Unquestioning Fanaticism
For each ACOLYTE HYBRIDS, HYBRID METAMORPHS and NEOPHYTE HYBRIDS unit from your army, while one or more CHARACTER models are leading that unit, you can re‐roll Advance and Charge rolls made for it. If that CHARACTER model is a MAGUS, PRIMUS or ACOLYTE ICONWARD, that model has the Feel No Pain 3+ ability while leading that unit.
Full wording ▾
Downtrodden by the oppressors for so long, a cult’s lowly broodkin are fanatically devoted to their leaders, for those hallowed individuals serve the Patriarch’s will more directly. The masses draw upon energy reserves in their desire to heed their masters’ wishes, surging selflessly into the fray, ready to hurl themselves in harm’s way for the Patriarch’s chosen.
