If a unit of Flagellants is in base contact with an enemy unit at the start of any Close Combat phase, the Flagellants immediately suffer D6 Strength 3 hits. Casualties inflicted in this way are 'martyrs' and they do not count towards combat resolution. If at least one model is removed as a martyr, the remaining models in the unit immediately gain one of the special rules listed below until the end of the current phase. The exact special rule that applies will depend on the number of models removed as martyrs.
D6 | Result |
1 | Fanatical Fury: The unit re-rolls all failed rolls To Hit. |
2-3 | Strength of the Penitent: The unit re-rolls all failed rolls To Hit and To Wound. |
4+ | Insensible to Pain: The unit gains +1 Toughness, and re-rolls all failed rolls To Hit and To Wound. |
