FACTION Dark Pacts

Dark Zealotry: While this unit leads a unit and contains a DARK APOSTLE model, add 1 to the Wound roll whenever a model in that unit makes a melee attack.
Demagogue: Once per battle, at the start of any phase, you may pick one friendly HERETIC ASTARTES unit that is Battle-shocked and within 12" of this unit's DARK APOSTLE model. That unit ceases to be Battle-shocked.
Malign Sacrifice: At the start of the Fight phase, if this unit has one or more Dark Disciple models, you may pick one such model and one enemy unit within Engagement Range of this unit, then roll one D6: on a 2-5 that enemy unit takes 1 mortal wound; on a 6 it takes D3 mortal wounds. That Dark Disciple model is then destroyed.
Leader: This model can be attached to: Accursed Cultists, Chosen, Cultist Mob, Legionaries.
