A full strength, ten-man unit with this special rule can break down into two five-man units, called combat squads, considered to be two five-man squads of the same type. For example, a ten-man Tactical Squad can split into two five-man Tactical Squads using the Combat Squads special rule.

=== Litanies of Battle ===

All CHAPLAINS know the Litany of Hate (see below). In addition, before the battle, generate one additional litanies for PRIEST models from your army that know litanies from the Litanies of Battle using the table below. You can either roll one D6 to generate each litany randomly (re-rolling duplicate results), or you can select which litanies the priest knows.

In your Command phase, if this model is on the battlefield, it can recite one litany it knows that has not already been recited by a friendly model this turn. Roll one D6: on a 3+, the recited litany is inspiring and takes effect until the start of your next Command phase.

When a PRIEST unit from your army recites a litany, replace all instances of the <CHAPTER> keyword on that litany (if any) with the name of the Chapter that your PRIEST is drawn from.

==== Litany of Hate (Aura) ====

''The Chaplain fuels his battle brothers with hatred and exhorts them to strike the foe harder and harder, without mercy.''

If this litany is inspiring, then while a friendly '''<CHAPTER>''' unit is within 6" of this '''PRIEST''', each time a model in that unit makes a melee attack, you can re-roll the hit roll.
