He is now a unique, capable and tough combat unit with abilities and talents that can turn the tide on the battlefield, exactly as a Heretic Astartes should. And so are his daemons. We hope you will enjoy these changes: ##### Updated Heretic Astartes Origin - All Uralon’s stats have been increased by up to +40; - Uralon has received Charge, Kick and Combat Master abilities similar to Ulfar; ##### Updated Abilities **Dark Pact** Uralon loses wounds equal to 20% of his maximum wounds, granting an ally +(wounds lost by Uralon + 2 × Heretical rank) temporary wounds. **Infernal Call** Uralon randomly summons one of the following daemons: Pink Horror, Daemonette, Plaguebearer, or Bloodletter. That daemon fights on Uralon's side until the end of combat. This ability can be used again if at least 9 enemies were killed in combat; ##### New Heretic Astartes talents These talents will significantly boost Uralon’s capabilities in combat: **Pleasure in Slaughter** The character's FEL bonus is added to their Strength. Whenever an ally deals critical damage or kills an enemy, Uralon regains FEL bonus wounds. If the ally is a daemon, or Uralon himself performs the action, he regains twice as many wounds. **Blessing of the Dark Gods** All supporting Master Tactician abilities possess additional effects. Whenever used on allies or Uralon himself, they grant a damage bonus that equals their Heretical rank. If the target of the ability is an allied daemon, it also gains +(2 × FEL bonus)% armour penetration and +3 MP. Whenever affected by Fervour, Uralon can target others with Linchpin, Inspire, and Strongpoint. Uralon's Finish the Job deals full damage. **The Voice of Lorgar** As long as Uralon is conscious, Uralon's allies gain +1 AP for every 2 Heretical ranks they have. **Chains of Hatred** All daemons summoned by Uralon gain a bonus to Weapon Skill, Strength, Agility, Toughness, Perception, Willpower equal to 50% of Uralon's Fellowship characteris _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2186680/view/675123381079638800]_
