Thanks! This is exactly how we use the powers (made a mistake with the
Dameon engine +'s ones...). Can we all agree on this now? Rune? Eivind?

> Minor demons

> Contagion plague engines- as with any unit with barrage attacks if

> Warty skin, scaly skin, resilient- there is a mistake in "when they can

> and then see if the card is any good.
> Horrible stench, uncontrollable flatulence, round CAF DOWN!
> Telekenisis- cannot be played on preatorins either.
> Invisibility- shots nominated against them are LOST!!, the unit
> themselves MAY NOT attack in any way, nor may they be attacked.
> Crystalline body, ONLY works against lasers, not battlecannons,
> autocannons, bolters or barrages. If your not sure an attack is a laser
> then its NOT.
> Hypnotic gaze-nonphysical, psy-saves and shields apply.
> Burning body- non-physical, titans and praetorians immune (add to
> description)
> Iron hard skin, works for ONLY one attack not the whole turn.
> Plague bearer- titans/praetorians immune-add to description.
> Duplication, troop stands ONLY!!!
> Eyestalks- the model must be in cover in order for this to work, it does
> not work in open ground.
>
> The rest of the cards are morale and CAf bonus which are self-explanatory
>
> Chaos marine gifts
> General, they tell WHEN they can be played, the most liberal one is the
> tzeentch power that can be cast anytime in the combat phase. All powers
> affect ONE of the three detachments in the company.
> Blood rage of khorne- triple move (30cm) and extra d6 in close combat.
> Magic of tzeentch- needs line of sight to target, use rules for vortex
> missile.
> Lure of slaanesh- non-physical, psy saves and shields apply. One unit
> affected.
> Nurgles rot- non-physical power, psy-saves and shields apply.
> titans/praetorians use their Highest location save.
