Damnation

The unit cannot be joined by any Characters, and it may never have more ranks than files. When the unit fails a Break Test, it does not perform the extra Close Combat Attacks from Path of the Exiled.

In this case, the Wretched One model is placed in base contact with the enemy unit too. • The Wretched One models form a new unit. • The Wretched One unit follows the rules for Summoned Units, except that it ignores the Unit Spacing rule when placed on the Battlefield. • The Wretched One unit cannot perform any Combat Reforms during that Round of Combat, however the enemy units can do so as normal. • Note that the following Round of Combat is not considered the First Round of Combat for the Wretched One unit nor the enemy units it is Engaged with.

This point must be within Line of Sight and 24" of the Hellmaw, and more than 6" away from enemy units. There can never be more than 4 friendly Gateway Markers on the Battlefield (including Ominous Gateways). • Close a Gateway: Choose a friendly Gateway Marker with its centre within Line of Sight and 24" of the Hellmaw. All units within 6" of the centre of the marker suffer D6 hits with Toxic Attacks and Magical Attacks. Then remove the marker. If all friendly Hellmaws have been removed as casualties, immediately close all friendly Gateways as described above. A friendly unit may choose to enter the Gateway if all the following conditions are met: • The unit does not contain any Gigantic models. • The unit is in contact with the centre of a friendly Gateway Marker. • All models in the unit just performed an Advance or March Move and no other model has moved since. Remove the unit from the Battlefield. The unit: 1. Is then placed back on the Battlefield within 3" of the centre of any other friendly Gateway Marker. No model can end up with its centre farther away than its March Rate from the centre of the chosen marker. 2. Must have the same formation, but may face any direction. 3. Must follow the Unit Spacing rule. 4. Suffers D6 + X hits with Toxic Attacks and Magical Attacks, distributed by the owner, where X is equal to the number of ranks in the unit.
