Brood Surge: When an enemy unit is picked to shoot and, after it shoots, one or more models from this unit were destroyed by those attacks, this unit may make a Brood Surge move. Roll one D6: this unit may move up to that many inches, but must end the move as close as possible to the closest enemy unit (other than AIRCRAFT), and may move within Engagement Range of it. If no model in this unit was equipped with a hand flamer at the start of the battle, it may move up to 6" instead of up to D6" on each Brood Surge move. A unit cannot make a Brood Surge move while Battle-shocked.
Cult Icon: In your Command phase, you may return up to D3 destroyed models to the bearer's unit, or up to 3 destroyed models if the bearer's unit is within range of an objective marker you control. This cannot return destroyed Character models in Attached units, and any [ONE SHOT] weapons on returned models that were fired before being destroyed remain considered fired.
Led by: Acolyte Iconward, Benefictus, Biophagus, Clamavus, Locus, Magus, Nexos, Primus.
