Common Rules
Reckless Abandon: If a unit with this ability inflicts one or more casualties on an enemy unit while firing Overwatch, it may make a 3" move in any direction that does not end within 3" of an enemy model once the Overwatch attack has been fully resolved and before the enemy unit has made its charge move.
Dancing on the Blade’s Edge: When making Morale tests, a unit with this ability may roll an additional dice and discard the highest result, but if any models flee the unit due to the result of the test, the number of fleeing models is increased by 1.
Weapons Fluff
Diklaive: Not as refined and deadly as a true Incubus's klaive, a diklaive is nonetheless a potent weapon requiring great skill to use; few master it without the assistance of a Ductus, an experienced Incubus who fled the rigidity of the shrines for the wild life of the Anhrathe. It resembles an elongated klaive with a small spur stretching downward and backward from the grip, used for parrying and ripostes.
Kalklaive: A bastardized klaive adapted by the jetbike-riding Skyprinces, it appears as a single demiklaive with a rifled barrel similar to a mandiblaster forming the spine of the blade. It is disdained by Ducti and Incubi as a perversion of their art, but is useful nonetheless.
Adapting Existing Units
Craftworld flyers: Any ASURYANI <CRAFTWORLD> WARHOST AIRCRAFT may be taken as ANHRATHE. Replace ASURYANI, <CRAFTWORLD>, and WARHOST with ANRATHE and <COTERIE>. This cannot apply to named characters or units whose datasheet specifies a specific Craftworld keyword.
Affected units: Nightwing, Phoenix, Lynx, Vampire Hunter, Vampire Raider

Appear Unbidden: During deployment, you can set up this unit walking the winding paths of the webway instead of placing it on the battlefield. At the end of one of your Movement phases, this unit can emerge from the webway – set this unit up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models.
Carefully Reckless: This unit may move 6" with Reckless Abandon rather than 3". Additionally, it may make a Reckless Abandon move if it inflicts any wounds on a charging non-VEHICLE, non-TITANIC unit, even if those wounds inflict no casualties.
Cameleoline Cloaks: If every model in this unit has a cameleoline cloak, then your opponent must subtract 1 from hit rolls for ranged weapons that target this unit and you add 2 instead of 1 to saving throws made for models from this unit that are in cover.

Advance Raiders: During deployment, set up this unit descending from the sky instead of placing it on the battlefield. After deployment is finished but before the first turn begins, you may place this unit on the battlefield so that all models in the unit are more than 9"" away from any enemy models. If you do not set it up at this time, you can and must do so at the end of your first Movement phase.
Explodes: If this model is reduced to 0 wounds, roll a D6 before removing it from the battlefield. On a 6 it explodes, and each unit within 3"" suffers 1 mortal wound.
Kinetic Shroud: A Wasp Walker has a 5+ invulnerable save against shooting attacks if every model in the unit moved at least 1" in your last Movement phase. If they each moved at least 8" in your last Movement phase, this improves to a 4+ invulnerable save against shooting attacks and a 6+ invulnerable save against close combat attacks.
Mobile Artillery: War Wasps may treat Heavy weapons as Assault weapons. (I.E. a Heavy D6 weapon is treated as an Assault D6 weapon, Heavy 2 as Assault 2, etc.) Additionally, when they declare a charge, they roll an additional die and drop the lowest.
