Lelith Hesperax

This model can be attached to the following unit: ■ Wyches

In the Fight phase, when you select this model's unit to fight, you can spend 1 Pain token to Empower that unit. While that unit is Empowered, each time a model in that unit makes a melee attack, improve the Strength and Armour Penetration characteristics of that attack by 1.

Once per battle, at the start of the Fight phase, this model can use this ability. If it does, until the end of the phase, this model has a 3+ invulnerable save and change the Attacks characteristic of melee weapons equipped by this model to 12.

While this model is leading a unit, models in that unit have the Fights First ability.

While every model in a unit has this ability, that unit is a Fights First unit.  See the Resolve Fights First Combats step in the Fight phase (12.04).

All Drukhari units have a Pain ability, tagged with the word 'Pain'. Pain abilities only apply to a unit while it is Empowered. If your Army Faction is Drukhari, you can Empower units from your army with Pain abilities by spending Pain tokens (see below).

GAINING PAIN TOKENS

If your Army Faction is Drukhari, you gain Pain tokens as follows: ■ 1 Pain token at the start of your Command phase. ■ 1 Pain token each time an enemy unit is destroyed. ■ 1 Pain token each time an enemy unit fails a Battle-shock test.

Each time you gain a Pain token, keep it to one side – this is your Pain token pool. Each time you spend a Pain token, reduce your Pain token pool by the same amount.

EMPOWERED THROUGH PAIN

Each Pain ability will state when you can spend Pain tokens to Empower that unit. When you do, until the end of the phase, that unit is Empowered and all Pain abilities it has take effect. While an Attached unit is Empowered, the Pain abilities of all Leader and Bodyguard units in that unit take effect - you do not need to spend additional Pain tokens to activate each of those Pain abilities.

This ability always takes the form [ANTI-X Y+]. Each time an attack is made with an [ANTI] weapon, if the target unit has the keyword denoted by X, an unmodified wound roll of Y+ is a critical wound. Example:* An attack made with an [ANTI-VEHICLE 4+] weapon against a Vehicle unit will result in a critical wound on an unmodified wound roll of 4+, while an attack made with an [ANTI-PSYKER 2+] weapon against a Psyker unit will result in a critical wound on an unmodified wound roll* of 2+.

This ability always takes the form [SUSTAINED HITS X]. Each time an attack made with a [SUSTAINED HITS] weapon results in a critical hit, that attack results in a number of additional hits on the target as denoted by X. Example: An attack made with a *[SUSTAINED HITS 2] weapon results in a critical hit. That attack therefore hits the target three times (once from the critical hit, and twice more from the [SUSTAINED HITS 2] ability).

While resolving attacks made with one or more [PRECISION] weapons, at the start of the Allocation Order step (05.03), if the target unit contains one or more CHARACTER models visible to one or more of the attacking models, the active player can select one allocation group that contains one of those visible CHARACTER models. If they do, until those attacks are resolved, or until that CHARACTER group is destroyed (whichever happens first), that CHARACTER group is the current allocation group.
