• If the target unit is an attached unit, use the highest T characteristic amongst bodyguard models in that unit that are on the battlefield.
• Use the highest T characteristic amongst models in that unit that are on the battlefield.

Few appear as favoured by the Dark Prince as these warriors, their boons of power a reward for committing ever viler deeds in honour of their patron.

These warriors are peerless swordsmen, each demonstrating exquisite fighting form. Those who lock swords with these obsessive warriors do so at their peril.

• If a rule instructs you to move a model as close as possible to a unit or model you must end that model’s move in base contact with that unit or model if its move is sufficient to do so without breaking any other restrictions (such as coherency), or as close as you can achieve if its move is not sufficient.
• If a model is already as close as possible to a unit or model when it is instructed to make a move as close as possible towards a unit or model, that model cannot be moved, but still counts as having made the move in question.
• If a rule instructs you to move a model as close as possible to an objective you must end that model’s move within range of an objective if its move is sufficient to do so without breaking any other restrictions (such as coherency), or as close as you can achieve if its move is not sufficient.
• If that model is already within range of an objective it can move up to the maximum distance of that move but must end its move still within range of that objective.

1. Create Groups: Divide all models in the target unit into the following groups, as many times as required:
   
   • One group for each CHARACTER model.
   • One group for all other models with the same W, Sv and InSv characteristics.
2. Allocation Order: Declare the order in which those groups will have attacks allocated to them, applying all of the following:
   
   • If a non-CHARACTER group contains a model that has lost one or more wounds, that group must be first in the allocation order.
   • No CHARACTER group can be earlier in the allocation order than a non-CHARACTER group.
   • CHARACTER groups containing a model that has lost one or more wounds must be earlier in the allocation order than CHARACTER groups containing no wounded models.
3. Make Save Rolls: The opposing player makes one save roll for each attack that wounded the target by rolling one D6.

1. Select Model: Select one model in that unit by following the first instruction below that applies:
   
   

   If a non-CHARACTER model in that unit has lost one or more wounds, you must select that model. Otherwise, if that unit contains one or more non-CHARACTER models, you must select one of those models. Otherwise, if one or more CHARACTER models in that unit have lost one or more wounds, you must select one of those models. Otherwise, you must select one CHARACTER model in that unit.



2. Resolve Damage: The selected model loses 1 wound. If this reduces that model’s remaining wounds to 0, it is destroyed.

The boldest and most debased champions of Slaanesh may gain the benefit of the Dark Princes boons. Yet none hold Slaanesh’s favour for long, for always another seeks to wrest his favour from their rivals.

The Emperor’s Children are skilled warriors all, their transhuman might enhanced by a lifetime of ceaseless conflict. Their ingrained desire for sensation in all its forms sees them move rapidly across the battlefield, flitting between targets as they attempt to satiate their never-ending hunger for fresh experience.

• It cannot target a unit it was within Engagement Range of at the start of the turn.
• It cannot target a unit that was the target of another units charge or attack this phase.

The Emperor’s Children are consummate raiders, eager to satiate their lust for sensation amid battle and falling upon their foes with impossible swiftness and inhuman grace.

The craving for fresh experience and the obsession with enacting ever more excessive destruction drives these warriors to displays of sudden and obscene violence.

• This unit cannot target a unit it was within Engagement Range of at the start of the turn.
• This unit cannot target a unit that was the target of another unit’s attack this phase.
• Improve the Strength and Armour Penetration characteristics of this unit’s melee weapons by 1.

Fulgrim sees war as a theatrical act, his warriors and the enemy alike a mere chorus to his own egotistical performance of sinuous strategy.

The Emperor’s Children are masters of the mechanised assault, leaping from their growling, daemonically tainted vehicles to fall upon the foe with blade and bolter.

Where the Emperor’s Children indulge their obsession, the power ofSlaanesh empowers those in his thrall.

• While an EMPEROR’S CHILDREN unit from your army is within 6" of one or more friendly LEGIONS OF EXCESS units, it is Empowered.
• While a LEGIONS OF EXCESS unit from your army is within 6" of one or more friendly EMPEROR’S CHILDREN units, it is Empowered.

• Incursion: Up to 500 pts
• Strike Force: Up to 1000 pts
• Onslaught: Up to 1500 pts

So potent is the disdainful arrogance of these Slaaneshi chosen that it manifests as a Warp-tainted aura that blinds and cows even the most obdurate enemies, forcing them to give way before the advance of the Emperor’s Children like unworthy dregs.
