==== Litanies of Purity ====

All '''GREY''' '''KNIGHTS''' '''PRIESTS''' know the Litany of Expulsion (see below). In addition, before the battle, generate the additional litanies for '''PRIEST''' models from your army that know litanies from the Litanies of Purity 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.

=== Litany of Expulsion (Aura) ===

''Intoning the unholy crimes of the Grey Knights’ enemies, the Chaplain fills his battle-brothers with an efficacy of purpose as they slay their foes.''

If this litany is inspiring, then while a friendly '''GREY''' '''KNIGHTS''' 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,

* That unit, and the models it contains, stop being affected by any psychic powers that had been affecting it that had been manifested by an enemy unit.
