Enhancements

Intoxicating Musk (20pts) Each time a melee attack targets the bearer's unit, if the Strength characteristic of that attack is greater than the Toughness characteristic of that unit, subtract 1 from the Wound roll.

Loathsome Dexterity (10pts) Each time a model in the bearer's unit makes a Normal, Advance or Fall Back move, it can move through enemy models. When doing so, it can move within Engagement Range of such models, but cannot end that move within Engagement Range of them, and any Desperate Escape test is automatically passed.

Steeped in Suffering (20pts) Each time a model in the bearer's unit makes an attack that targets an enemy unit below its Starting Strength, add 1 to the Hit roll. If that target is also Below Half-Strength, add 1 to the Wound roll as well.

Tactical Perfection (15pts) After both players have deployed their armies, select up to two Emperor's Children units from your army and redeploy them. When doing so, you can set those units up in Strategic Reserves if you wish, regardless of how many units are already in Strategic Reserves.
