FACTION The Shadow of Chaos

Shadow of Khorne (Aura): The area of the battlefield within 6" of this FORTIFICATION counts as within your army's Shadow of Chaos. Also, while a friendly Khorne Legiones Daemonica unit is within 6" of this FORTIFICATION, each time you take a Battle-shock test for that unit, you can re-roll it.
Cover: Each time a ranged attack is allocated to a model that is not fully visible to every model in the attacking unit because of this FORTIFICATION, that model has the Benefit of Cover against that attack.
Fortification: While an enemy unit is only within Engagement Range of one or more Fortifications from your army: that unit can still be chosen as the target of ranged attacks, but each such attack (unless made with a Pistol) suffers a -1 penalty to its Hit roll; and its models do not have to take Desperate Escape tests for Falling Back while Battle-shocked, except any that would move over enemy models in doing so.
