After a Round of Combat in which at least one attack with Unholy Appetite caused an unsaved wound, all attacks with Unholy Appetite from models in the same unit must reroll failed to-hit rolls until the end of the next Player Turn.
At the end of any phase in which the Master is removed as a casualty, every unit in the army with one or more models with Ashes to Ashes must pass a Discipline Test or lose a number of Health Points equal to the amount by which the test was failed, with no saves of any kind allowed. These Health Point losses are allotted following the rules for Unstable, except that they can never be allotted to models that do not have Ashes to Ashes. The number of Health Points lost is reduced by 1 if the unit is within range of Rally Around the Flag. At the end of the Player Turn in which the Master was removed as a casualty, a new Master may be selected. In order to do so, nominate a friendly Wizard Character that either has Vampiric or has chosen Evocation. This Character becomes the new Master. At the start of each friendly Player Turn after the army's Master has been removed as a casualty and no new Master has been selected, every unit with Ashes to Ashes must once again pass a Discipline Test or lose Health Points as described above.
During its Shooting Phase, the model part can make a Shooting Attack that targets all enemy units within 12" of the model (including those Engaged in Combat and outside Front Arc and/or Line of Sight). This attack can be used even if the Altar is Engaged in Combat. The targets suffer D6 hits with a Strength equal to the current Game Turn number and Armour Penetration 2.
All friendly units within 6" of one or more models with Necromantic Aura reduce the number of Health Point losses caused by Ashes to Ashes and Unstable by 1.
Undead units consisting entirely of models with Autonomous may perform March Moves as normal, even when outside the range of Commanding Presence of any friendly models. The unit must still pass a Discipline Test in order to do so if within 8" of non-Fleeing enemy units.
The model can Raise Health Points above a unit's starting size for the units stated within brackets. However, units cannot be increased beyond twice their starting size or beyond the maximum unit size written in their unit entry.
