Use this Stratagem in your opponent’s Shooting phase, when a NIGHT LORDS CORE or NIGHT LORDS CHARACTER unit from your army is selected as the target of a ranged attack. Rubric Marines are not suitable for this, as they no longer have the physical and spiritual substance necessary for the revitalization of the Helbrute systems.

The occasional slaughter occurs when an adoring flock find their idol turning upon them with guns blazing.Thus a Helbrute of the Death Guard may degenerate into a bloated hulk of rusting metal and suppurative, weeping flesh. Close assaults are the favoured tactics of many traitors, coupling murderous short-ranged firepower with the unrestrained slaughter of hand-to-hand execution. Each time the bearer fights, if it is equipped with 2 Helbrute fists, it makes 1 additional attack with 1 of those weapons.

Many implantees go mad within solar days, or even hours, their minds turning inward and tearing themselves apart.

If a model has more than one melee weapon and can make several attacks, it can split them between these weapons however you wish – declare which attacks are being made with which weapons before any attacks are resolved. These models can make Heroic Interventions in Charge Phase and are not easy targets in the Shooting Phase (see Look out, Sir, rule).Until the end of the phase, each time a HERETIC ASTARTES model in that unit makes a melee attack against an IMPERIAL FISTS unit, or against a unit that is a successor Chapter of the Imperial Fists, you can re-roll the hit roll and you can re-roll the wound roll. Use this Stratagem when an enemy unit within Engagement Range of a TRAITORIS ASTARTES SLAANESH unit from your army Falls Back. From that moment forward, the nervous system of the interred victim is twinned with the artificial nerve-bundles of the Helbrute. Twisted amalgams of Warp-wrought metal and writhing flesh, they stand several times the height of a man. Between battles, the sarcophagus containing the Helbrute's pilot is disconnected and dragged clear of its armoured shell to lie inert and seething in the darkness.
