Legion of the Damned
“We Come From the Warp to Save the Faithful”
No one knows the Legion of the Damned's true origin — not the High Lords, not the Adeptus Astartes, not even the Legion themselves. They arrive unbidden in the direst moments of a battle, translucent and burning, cutting down the enemy with uncanny, implacable purpose before vanishing as suddenly as they came, leaving behind nothing but scorched earth and impossible hope. Their armour bears skulls and flame in patterns older than any known Chapter, and their bolters spit shells wreathed in warpfire. Some say they are the spirits of the Emperor's most faithful dead, called back from beyond to fight one more battle; others whisper they are already ash, and simply do not know it yet.
Army Rule
Spectral Assault
LEGION OF THE DAMNED units can be set up in a Reserves pool called the Warp Rift instead of being deployed normally. In any of your Movement phases, you can bring any number of units from the Warp Rift onto the battlefield more than 9" from enemy models, and they can charge in the turn they arrive.
