An Army of Renown for Disciples of Tzeentch: only the units below, with these battle traits and enhancements in place of the army’s own, and no battle formation. It cannot take a Regiment of Renown. Build one by choosing it under Army of Renown in the list builder.
Battle traits
Effect: When picking targets for shooting attacks made by friendly units with weapons that have the Wyrdflame weapon ability, you can also pick terrain features that are visible to and within range of the attacking model to be targets. Non-Faction Terrain terrain features are considered to have a Save characteristic of 5+ and infinite Health for the purposes of this ability.
If any damage points were allocated to a terrain feature by those attacks, after the Shoot ability has been resolved, roll a dice. If the result is less than or equal to the number of damage points allocated to that terrain feature in this phase, it has the Wyrdpyre keyword for the rest of the battle.
Designer's Note: *As non-Faction Terrain features are treated as having infinite Health for the purposes of this ability, you can remove all damage points allocated to them at the end of the shooting phase.*
Declare: You must use this ability at the start of the battle round if there are Wyrdpyres on the battlefield.
Effect: Resolve the effect below that corresponds to the number of Wyrdpyres on the battlefield.
1-2: Inflict 1 mortal damage on each unit within 3" of any Wyrdpyres. Add 2" to the Move characteristic of friendly units that were allocated any of that damage for the rest of the battle round.
3-4: Inflict D3 mortal damage on each unit within 3" of any Wyrdpyres. Add 1 to wound rolls for combat attacks made by friendly units that were allocated any of that damage for the rest of the battle round.
5-6: Inflict D3 mortal damage on each unit within 6" of any Wyrdpyres. Add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of melee weapons used by friendly units that were allocated any of that damage for the rest of the battle round.
7-8: Inflict D3 mortal damage for each unit within 6" of any Wyrdpyres. For friendly units that were allocated any of that damage, for the rest of the battle round:
• Add 1 to wound rolls for their combat attacks.
• Add 2" to their Move characteristic.
• Add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of their melee weapons.
9+: Inflict D3+3 mortal damage on each unit within 6" of any Wyrdpyres. Then, pick a non-Faction Terrain terrain feature with the Wyrdpyre keyword to reduce to ash. Each player must remove all models that are on that terrain feature and set them up again within 3" of it, but not on it, starting with the active player. Those models can be set up in combat. Models that cannot be set up in this manner are slain, Then, remove that terrain feature from the battlefield.

Effect: Set up that unit in reserve hidden among cultists. It has now been deployed. Friendly units that are hidden among cultists are not automatically destroyed at the start of the fourth battle round

Declare: Pick an objective being contested by any friendly Kairic Acolyte units to be the target.
Effect: The target objective has the Wyrdpyre keyword for the rest of the battle.
