Masters of Misdirection

In the Declare Battle Formations step, you can select a number of LEGIONARIES and CULTIST MOB units from your army: until the end of the battle, those units, and any CHARACTER units attached to them (excluding EPIC HEROES), have the Infiltrators ability. The maximum number of units you can select in this way depends on the battle size, as shown below.

A table showing the number of units that gain the Infiltrators ability, depending on the battle size. In Incursion games, up to 2 Legionaries units and up to 2 Cultist Mob units. In Strike Force games, up to 3 Legionaries units and up to 3 Cultist Mob units. In Onslaught games, up to 4 Legionaries units and up to 4 Cultist Mob units.

Enhancements

Cursed Fang

HERETIC ASTARTES INFANTRY model only. Improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of the bearer’s melee weapons by 1, and the bearer’s melee weapons have the [PRECISION] ability.

Falsehood
10 pts

CHAOS LORD model only (excluding TERMINATOR and JUMP PACK models). In the Declare Battle Formations step, you can set the bearer up in Reserves instead of setting it up on the battlefield. If you do, in one of your Movement phases, you can select one model in a friendly LEGIONARIES or CHOSEN unit that has two or more models remaining and is on the battlefield (excluding Attached units). The selected model is destroyed (ignoring any rules that are triggered when a model is destroyed) and the bearer is set up as close as possible to where that model was destroyed and only within Engagement Range of any enemy units if the destroyed model was within Engagement Range of those units. The bearer now attaches to that unit as its Leader.
