Codex Abilities
The abilities Power from Pain, Poisoned Weapon,
Blade Artists, Insensible to Pain and Combat Drugs
work exactly as presented in Codex: Drukhari, with the
exception of the amendment to Combat Drugs, below.
Model Availability
You must adhere to the following model requirements
when building your Warband:
● 1 Leader model
● 1-25 Core models
● 0-5 Special models
Combat Drugs
When determining what abilities are gained by units
with Combat Drugs, you can select a single ability, or
roll for two random abilities, for each unit type among
units with Combat Drugs in your Warband. This means
you will determine an ability or abilities to apply to all
Hellions in your Warband, another for all Wyches, and
another for a Helliarch, for example.
 Drukhari Obsessions
You can only include models from one <Kabal>, one <Wych Cult>, and one <Haemonculus Coven> in your Warband.
You can choose the Obsessions for those units from the named Kabals, Cults and Covens in Codex: Drukhari, or
generate your own from the custom options below by choosing two Obsessions from the list below. An
All-consuming Obsession counts as two selections.

Obsession Type DESCRIPTION

Each time an enemy model is selected to make a Normal Move, Advance,

Fall Back or is selected to charge while within 12” of any models with this
Cruel Delights Kabal Obsession, roll a D6. On a 5+, that enemy model suffers 1 mortal wound.
Once an enemy model has been slain by this effect, this Obsession has no
further effect until the end of the phase.

Models with this Obsession are eligible to shoot in a turn in which they Fell
Kabal
Deadly Deceivers Back, but if they do, each time that model makes a ranged attack that turn,
All-consuming
subtract 1 from the hit roll.

Merciless Each time a model with this Obsession makes an attack with a Splinter
Kabal
Razorkin weapon, an unmodified hit roll of 6 scores 1 additional hit.

Models with this Obsession gain the Emboldened by Bloodshed benefit

Ancient
Kabal from the Power from Pain table as soon as an enemy model has been
Arrogance
removed as a casualty, regardless of the battle round number.

Each time a model with this Obsession makes an attack with a ranged
Torturous
Kabal weapon, on an unmodified wound roll of 6, improve the AP characteristic of
Efficiency
that attack by 1.

Fleet of Foot Kabal Add 2” to the Move characteristic of models with this Obsession.

Each time a model with this Obsession would lose a wound, roll a D6,
Soul Bound Kabal adding 1 to the result if the wound would be lost as a result of a mortal
wound. On a 6+, that wound is not lost.

Each time a model with this Obsession makes an attack against a Character
Twisted Duellists Kabal
model, add 1 to that attack’s hit roll.

Add 2 instead of 1 to Armour saves made for a model with this Obsession
Midnight Hunters Kabal
against ranged attacks while it has the benefit of Light Cover.

Bloody-Handed Kabal Add 1 to the Strength characteristic of models with this Obsession.

A model with this Obsession is always treated as having charged for the
purpose of determining the order in which models fight. If other models
Soul-Starved Kabal
have charged or have a similar ability, alternate choosing models to fight,
starting with the player whose turn is taking place.

 Obsession Type DESCRIPTION

Each time a model with this Obsession consolidates or piles in, models in
Acrobatic Display Wych Cult that unit can move horizontally through other models and terrain features
(they cannot finish a move on top of another model or its base).

Models with this Obsession treat the current Battle Round number as one
Wych Cult
Poetry in Pain higher when determining what effects the Power from Pain ability has -
All-consuming
however, they can never gain the Emboldened By Bloodshed effect.

Each time a model with this Obsession makes a melee attack, that attack
Precise Killers Wych Cult benefits from the Blade Artists ability on an unmodified roll of 5+, rather
than 6.

Once per battle, in your Command phase, you may choose a result from the
Stimulant Wych Cult Combat Drugs table. All friendly models with the Combat Drugs ability with
Innovators All-consuming this Obsession gain the chosen benefit, which is cumulative with any
existing benefits, until the end of the turn.

Models with this obsession gain the following ability:

Trophy Takers (aura): Subtract 1 from the Leadership characteristic of
Trophy Takers Wych Cult
enemy models whilst they are within engagement range of any models with
this ability.

Each time an attack is made by a model with this obsession whilst it is

within 6” of another friendly model with this obsession that caused an
Intense Rivalry Wych Cult
enemy model to be removed as a casualty with an attack in that phase, you
can re-roll a hit roll of 1.

Models with this Obsession that can Fly do not lose the benefits of cover as
Death-Defying
Wych Cult a result of Flying High in the Movement phase. (They still cannot Hide if they
Flyers
do so.)

Add 1 to saving throws against melee attacks that target Wyches,

Hekatrixes, Syrens and Hekatrix Bloodbrides with this Obsession. In
addition, these models’ Hekatarii Blades cannot be replaced, the AP
characteristic of their Hekatarii Blades is 0, and they lose the Blade Artists
Unarmed and Wych Cult
ability. Whenever one of these models causes an enemy model to be
Dangerous All-consuming
removed as a casualty in the Fight phase, you may, until the end of the
battle, treat that model as being equipped with a melee weapon of your
choice that the slain enemy model was equipped with. From that point on,
that model gains the Blade Artists ability.

Models with this Obsession treat Plasma Grenades they are equipped with
Close-up as having the Pistol D6 type while they are in Engagement range of any
Wych Cult
Pyrotechnics enemy models. The Limited Supply rule still applies when determining
which models may attack with a grenade.

 Obsession Type DESCRIPTION

Artists of the Haemonculus Each time an attack is allocated to a model with this Obsession, subtract 1
Flesh Coven from the Damage characteristic of that attack (to a minimum of 1)

Before deployment, apply the following to all friendly models with this
Bizarre Haemonculus Obsession. Choose two of the following characteristics: Move, Weapon Skill,
Experiments Coven Toughness, Attacks. Improve one of them by 1 and worsen one of them by
1. If you choose Move, improve or worsen it by 2 instead.

Haemonculus
Hungry for Flesh You can re-roll charge rolls made for units with this Obsession.
Coven

Each time a model with this Obsession makes a melee attack with a
Masters of Haemonculus
Poisoned weapon that targets a unit that is not a Vehicle or Titanic, an
Mutagens Coven
unmodified hit roll of 6 automatically wounds the target.

Models with this Obsession cannot be chosen to fight in the Fight phase
until all other eligible models have done so. If your opponent also has
Fastidious Haemonculus models that must fight last, then once all normally fighting models have
Torturers Coven fought, alternate choosing models to fight, starting with the player whose
turn is taking place. When resolving a melee attack by a model with this
Obsession, you can re-roll the wound roll.

Each time a model with this Obsession makes an attack, the target does not
Heightened Haemonculus receive any of the benefits of cover against that attack. In addition, Hiding
Senses Coven models are revealed if a model with this Obsession ends any kind of move
within 9” of them.

Haemonculus Each time a model with this Obsession makes an attack with a melee
Splinterblades
Coven weapon, an unmodified hit roll of 6 scores 1 additional hit.

Each time a model with this Obsession is removed as a casualty, roll a D6.
On a 3+, do not remove it as a casualty immediately. After the enemy model
Haemonculus
Last Gasp has finished making all of its attacks, it can make a single melee attack
Coven
against an enemy model within engagement range. Then remove it as a
casualty.
