Bloodhunter

When an enemy model is destroyed in the Fight phase as a result of an attack made by a model with this Relic, roll one D6; on a 4+ the model with this Relic regains up to 1 lost wound.

If Fabius Bile is your Warlord, you can give one of the following Artefacts of Chaos to a CREATIONS OF BILE CHARACTER model from your army, instead of other Artefacts of Chaos presented elsewhere. Named characters, such as Fabius Bile, already have one or more artefacts, and cannot be given any of these artefacts. Note that some Relics are weapons that replace one of the model’s existing weapons. Where this is the case, you must, if you are using points values, still pay the cost of the weapon that is being replaced.

Helm of All-Seeing

Whilst a model with this Relic is on the battlefield, you can roll one D6 for each Command Point you spend to use a Stratagem; on a 5+ that Command Point is refunded.

Hyper-Growth Bolts

When you give a model this Relic, select one bolt pistol, boltgun or combi-weapon (see Codex: Chaos Space Marines wargear lists) that model is equipped with. When a model with this Relic shoots with that weapon, you can choose for it to fire a Hyper-growth bolt. If you do, you can only make one attack with that weapon, but that attack always wounds on a 2+ (unless the target is a VEHICLE unit) and has a Damage characteristic of 4.

Living Carapace

At the start of your turn, a model with this Relic regains 1 lost wound. In addition, when resolving an attack against this model, add 1 to the saving throw (invulnerable saves are unaffected).

Before the battle, generate the psychic powers for PSYKERS that can use the Dark Hereticus discipline you can select the powers you wish them to have.

If manifested, select a visible enemy unit within 12″ of the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, that unit cannot take invulnerable saves.

Gift of Chaos: WC 6

If manifested, select an enemy unit that is within 6″ of the psyker and visible to him and roll a D6. If the result is greater than the target’s Toughness, it suffers D3+3 mortal wounds. If a CHARACTER is slain by this power, you can add a Chaos Spawn to your army and set it up within 1″ of the character before it is removed.

Prescience : WC 7

If manifested, select a HERETIC ASTARTES unit within 18″ of the psyker. You can add 1 to all hit rolls made for that unit until the start of your next Psychic phase.

Weaver of Fates: WC 6

If manifested, select a visible TZEENTCH HERETIC ASTARTES unit within 18″ of the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, the invulnerable save of that unit is improved by 1 (to a maximum of 3+). Models that do not have an invulnerable save instead gain a 5+ invulnerable save.

Miasma of Pestilence: WC 6

If manifested, select a visible NURGLE HERETIC ASTARTES unit within 18″ of the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, your opponent must subtract 1 from all hit rolls that target that unit.

Delightful Agonies: WC 6

If manifested, select a visible SLAANESH HERETIC ASTARTES unit within 18″ of the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, roll a D6 each time a model in that unit loses a wound; on a 5+ it does not lose that wound.

Before the battle, generate the psychic powers for PSYKERS that can use powers from the Malefic discipline you can select the psychic powers you wish the psyker to have.

Incursion: WC 7

If manifested, the psyker can immediately attempt to summon a unit of DAEMONS to the battlefield using the Daemonic Ritual ability (pg 119) as if it were the Movement phase. When doing so, roll up to 4 dice instead of up to 3. The psyker will not suffer any mortal wounds as a result of doubles or triples being rolled for this Daemonic Ritual.

Sacrifice: WC 4

If manifested, choose any model within 2″ of the psyker; that model suffers 1 mortal wound. Then, choose a friendly <LEGION> DAEMON model within 18″ of the psyker. That model regains D3 lost wounds. If that <LEGION> DAEMON model is a DAEMON ENGINE and the model you chose to inflict the mortal wound on was a friendly <LEGION> WARPSMITH , the model regains 3 lost wounds instead.

Mutated Invigoration: WC 7

If manifested, select a friendly CHAOS SPAWN , <LEGION> POSSESSED or <LEGION> CULT OF DESTRUCTION unit within 18″ of the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, that unit will gain a bonus depending on what unit it is, as follows: You can re-roll the dice when rolling for that Chaos Spawn’s Mutated Beyond Reason ability. You can re-roll the dice when rolling for the Attacks characteristic of that unit of Possessed due to its Writhing Tentacles ability. You can re-roll one of the dice when rolling for the Strength, AP and Damage characteristics of that Cult of Destruction unit’s weapons due to its Fleshmetal Guns or Fleshmetal Weapons ability.

Possession: WC 5

If manifested, then until the start of your next Psychic phase, the Armour Penetration characteristic of the psyker’s melee weapons is improved by 2 (e.g. an AP of -1 becomes -3). Furthermore, until the start of your next Psychic phase, each time the psyker destroys an enemy INFANTRY CHARACTER in the Fight phase, you can add a Chaos Spawn model to your army. If the destroyed model was ADEPTUS ASTARTES or HERETIC ASTARTES , you can instead add a Greater Possessed model to your army. If a new model is added to your army, set it up within 6″ of the psyker and more than 1″ from any enemy models. In addition, each time the psyker destroys an enemy VEHICLE model in the Fight phase that could explode, it automatically explodes; no dice roll is made and any mortal wounds suffered by the psyker in the resulting explosion are ignored.

Cursed Earth: WC 7

If manifested, then until the start of your next Psychic phase, the invulnerable save of friendly <LEGION> DAEMON units is improved by 1 (to a maximum of 3+) while they are within 6″ of this psyker.
