RUNES OF BATTLE
Runes of Battle
Note that to represent the Eldar’s prodigious psychic abilities, an Eldar Psyker that generates a power from the Runes of Battle will have access to not one but two separate abilities. When using one of these psychic powers, choose which ability the Psyker is attempting to use before making the psychic test.
Conceal/Reveal
(Primaris Power)
| The Warlock seizes command of the darkness around him, concealing his squad from the enemy’s gaze or revealing those enemies who skulk in the shadows. |
Warp Сharge: 1
Conceal is a blessing that targets the Psyker. Whilst the power is in effect, the Psyker has the Shrouded special rule.
Reveal is a malediction that targets a single enemy unit within 18". Whilst the power is in effect, all models in the target unit lose the Stealth and Shrouded special rules.
1
Destructor/Renewer
| Caging a portion of his psychic might, the Warlock sends waves of energy forth to destroy his enemies in a burst of azure flame – or, if the need arises, heal the wounds of his allies. |
Warp Сharge: 1
Destructor is a witchfire power with the following profile:
| Range | S | AP | Type |
| Template | 5 | 4 | Assault 1, Soul Blaze |
Renewer is a blessing that targets a single friendly unit within 18". One model (of your choice) in the target unit immediately regains a Wound lost earlier in the battle. A slain model cannot be returned to play by this power.
2
Embolden/Horrify
| The Warlock calls down the splendour of battle, instilling his allies with valour or sapping courage from his foes. |
Warp Сharge: 1
Embolden is a blessing that targets the Psyker. Whilst the power is in effect, the Psyker and his unit have the Fearless special rule.
Horrify is a malediction that targets a single enemy unit within 18". Whilst the power is in effect, all models in the target unit suffer a -3 penalty to their Leadership.
3
Enhance/Drain
| Calling upon Khaine’s immortal favour, the Warlock grants battle-skill to his allies, or strips it from his foes. |
Warp Сharge: 1
Enhance is a blessing that targets the Psyker. Whilst the power is in effect, the Psyker and his unit receive a +1 bonus to their Weapon Skill and Initiative.
Drain is a malediction that targets a single enemy unit within 18". Whilst the power is in effect, all models in the target unit suffer a -1 penalty to their Weapon Skill and Initiative.
4
Protect/Jinx
| Chained by runes of power, fate itself is bound to the Warlock’s will. |
Warp Сharge: 1
Protect is a blessing that targets the Psyker. Whilst the power is in effect, the Psyker and his unit receive a +1 bonus to their Armour Save (to a maximum of 2+).
Jinx is a malediction that targets a single enemy unit within 18". Whilst the power is in effect, all models in the target unit suffer a -1 penalty to their Armour Save (a model with a 6+ armour save would therefore have no Armour Save).
5
Quicken/Restrain
| The Warlock twists time itself to his bidding, his outline blurring as he and his fellows move like phantoms across the field. Those cursed by his temporal manipulations find themselves moving as if through deep water. |
Warp Сharge: 1
Quicken is a blessing that targets the Psyker. Whilst the power is in effect, the Psyker and his unit Run an additional 3" (this will normally be D6+3").
Restrain is a malediction that targets a single enemy unit within 18". Whilst the power is in effect, models in the target unit cannot Run.
6
Empower/Enervate
| The Warlock causes his comrades to strike at their full potential, imbuing them with the might of the Eldar heroes whilst diminishing the powers of his foes. |
Warp Сharge: 1
Empower is a blessing that targets the Psyker. Whilst the power is in effect, the Psyker and his unit receive a +1 bonus to their Strength.
Enervate is a malediction that targets a single enemy unit within 18". Whilst the power is in effect, all models in the target unit suffer a -1 penalty to their Strength.
