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. 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. BATTLE SIZE NUMBER OF UNITS LEGIONARIES CULTIST MOBS Incursion Up to 2 units Up to 2 units Strike Force Up to 3 units Up to 3 units Onslaught Up to 4 units Up to 4 units
Force Disposition: DISRUPTION Detachment Points: 2
Cursed Fang (10pts) Improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of the bearer's melee weapons by 1, and the bearer's melee weapons have the [PRECISION] ability.
Falsehood (10pts) In the Declare Battle Formations step, you can set up the bearer in Reserves instead of setting it up on the battlefield. If you do, in one of your Movement phases, you can select one model in a friendly LEGIONARIES or CHOSEN unit that has two or more models remaining and is on the battlefield (excluding Attached units).. The selected model is destroyed (ignoring any rules that are triggered when a model is destroyed) and the bearer is set up as close as possible to where that model was destroyed and only within Engagement Range of any units if the destroyed model was in Engagement Range of those units. The bearer now attaches to that unit as its Leader.
Shroud of Obfuscation (15pts) The bearer has the Stealth and Lone Operative abilities.
Soul Link (5pts) At the start of your Command phase, you can select one other HERETIC ASTARTES INFANTRY CHARACTER model from your army (excluding EPIC HEROES). Until the start of your next Command phase, the bearer gains the PSYKER keyword, and replace the bearer's datasheet abilities with the datasheet abilities of the CHARACTER you selected.
