 Can someone start giving some specifics? I dont' mean the text of every
 card, but some examples would be nice. >>

Okay, here are a few of the nasties :

a) the emperor - a detachment loses D6 blast markers
b) Have an enemy detachments firepower (the magus)
c) The high Preist - a detachment passes all leadership tests for the rest of
the turn

some cards duplicate the effects of the norma fate cards, some improve on
those effects, others are just plain nasty. there are also some nasty race
specific cards :

a) The daemon - a detcahment of daemons has its saved reduced to a 6.
b) The kraken - a detachment of tyranids becomes subject to leadership tests.
c) The harlequin - automatically fail an eldar leadership test
d) the savage - an orc detachment must go on assualt orders this turn.

Obviously, the imp. player picks which detachment this affect :-)

At least the squats dont have one against them... :-D

k.a.
