The End is Nigh!
URL Copied!

If a unit of Flagellants is in base contact with an enemy unit at the start of any Close Combat phase, the Flagellants may immediately sacrifice D3 Wounds worth of models. Casualties inflicted in this way are 'martyrs' and they do not count towards combat resolution.

If at least one model is removed as a martyr, the remaining models in the unit immediately gain one of the special rules listed below until the end of the current phase. The exact special rule that applies will depend on the number of models removed as martyrs.

In addition, friendly units within 6" of Flagellants suffer -1 to their Leadership, except other Flagellants, Warrior Priests, Arch Lectors and Sisters of Sigmar.

1

Fanatical Fury: The Flagellants enter a seething fit of rage as they launch themselves at the enemy with an almost unnatural fervour.

The unit re-rolls all failed rolls To Hit.

2

Strength of the Penitent: The Flagellants' self-inflicted pain lends their blows great power.

The unit re-rolls all failed rolls To Hit and To Wound.

3

Insensible to Pain: Having beaten themselves insensible, the Flagellants no longer feel mortal injuries, shrugging aside blows that would cripple a sane man!

The unit gains +1 Toughness, and re-rolls all failed rolls To Hit and To Wound.
