Masters of Misdirection
In the Declare Battle Formations step, you can select a number of LEGIONARIES and CULTIST MOB units from your army: until the end of the battle, those units, and any CHARACTER units attached to them (excluding EPIC HEROES), have the Infiltrators ability. The maximum number of units you can select in this way depends on the battle size, as shown below.
Full wording ▾
There are those warbands that number amongst their ranks liars, schemers and infiltrators of far more prodigious skill than most heretics. Employing labyrinthine ploys, they unnerve their enemies and force them to chase ghosts and shadows. They embed themselves within combat zones long before showing their hand, seeding Chaos cults, identifying key targets and feeding misinformation to their foes.
