The Blasphemous Engine – Double the number of wounds left for the damage tier for an Infernal Household Model
Veil of Medrengard – 4+ Invulnerable save vs Ranged attacks for an Iconoclast Household model
Khornate Target – When activated once per battle, invulnerable saves cannot be made vs melee attacks from this model; this model cannot make invulnerable saves
Tzeentchian Pyrothrone – Knight becomes a Psyker and can attempt to cast 1 power and deny 1 power a turn; if destroyed due to Perils of the Warp test, automatically counts as if it rolled a 6 for the explosion
Helm of Warp-Sight – Knight Rampager/Desecrator/Despoiler only; ignores hit roll modifiers
The Diamonas – Relic Laser Destructor; enhanced profile and causes extra D3 mortal wounds on unmodified wound rolls of 6
