Daemonic: Instability
If you lose 25% of your unit at the end of your close combat phase then you must take a leadership test on 2d6. You subtract the amount of models lost to the overall leadership total. If you pass then nothing happens otherwise you lose wounds equal to the amount you failed the combat by.
Daemons count as being fearless for shooting.

Have +1 to WS, W, I, A and have Ld: 9-10If a herald joins a unit then the unit is not affected by daemonic Instability

All daemon units have a 5+ invulnerable save.
