ABILITIES

CORE Deadly Demise 1

FACTION Nurgle’s Gift (Aura)

Even In Death I Serve: The first time this model is destroyed, remove it from play without resolving its Deadly Demise ability. Then, at the end of the phase, roll one D6: on a 2+ set it back up on the battlefield as near as possible to where it fell and not within Engagement Range of any enemy units, with D6 wounds remaining.
Conversion: When an attack with this weapon targets a unit more than 12" from the bearer, an unmodified successful Hit roll of 4+ scores a Critical Hit.
