Deadly Demise D6ability updated

This ability always takes the form Deadly Demise X. Each time a model with this ability is destroyed, after the units embarked within it (if any) have made their emergency disembark moves, roll one D6. On a 6, that model suffers a deadly demise; each unit within 6" of that model suffers a number of mortal wounds denoted by X (if this is a random number, roll separately for each unit within 6").

This ability always takes the form Deadly Demise X. Each time a model in this unit is destroyed, after the units embarked within it (if any) have made their emergency disembark moves, roll one D6. On a 6, that model suffers a deadly demise; each unit within 6" of that model suffers a number of mortal wounds denoted by X (if this is a random number, roll separately for each unit within 6").

Example: An Impulsor with a unit of Intercessors embarked within it is destroyed by ranged attacks. First, any unresolved attacks made by the attacking unit are resolved. Then the Intercessors make an emergency disembark move. Then the roll is made for the Deadly Demise ability, and on a 6, that ability is resolved. Finally, the Impulsor is removed from the battlefield.

Lord of the Death Guardability updated

Once per turn, this model can use one of the Lord of the Death Guard abilities (see below).

Diseased Influence: Just after an enemy unit ends a Normal, Advance or Fall Back move within 8" of a friendly DEATH GUARD unit that is within 6" of this model, if that DEATH GUARD unit is not within Engagement Range of one or more enemy units, it can make a Normal move of up to 5".

Boon of Death: In the Fight phase, when a friendly DEATH GUARD unit within 6" of this model is selected as the target of an attack, this model can use this ability. If it does, until the end of the phase, each time a model in that DEATH GUARD unit is destroyed by a melee attack, if that model has not fought this phase, roll one D6. On a 2+, do not remove it from play; that destroyed model can fight after the attacking unit has finished making its attacks, and it is then removed from play.

Inflamed Reprisal: In your opponent’s Shooting phase, when a friendly DEATH GUARD unit within 6" of this model is selected as the target of an attack, this model can use this ability. If it does, after the attacking unit has finished making its attacks, that DEATH GUARD unit can shoot as if it were your Shooting phase, but when resolving those attacks, worsen the BS characteristic of that attack by 1 and it it can only target that enemy unit (and only if it is an eligible target).
