Nearby warriors can tap into this wealth of data, enabling them to unleash salvoes of lethal efficiency.

Needgaârd Oathband
Detachment Rules
Martial Leverage
Each time an enemy unit is destroyed, you gain 1YP.
The weighing of costs in Kin lives and materiel expended against prospective material benefits is an instinct amongst kinhost commanders. Those who lead needgaârd oathbands leverage the deaths of their foes into these equations at every opportunity. Crushing the enemy’s soldiery and war engines can shift the balance of martial power, enabling a canny commander to spend the advantage it provides elsewhere.

If that unit is already assailed, until the start of your next Shooting phase, it is also pinned. While a unit is pinned, subtract 2" from its Move characteristic and subtract 2 from Charge rolls made for it.
The Kin of persecution prospects are skilled in escalating their attacks with unrelenting volleys of fire. They pressure the kindred’s foes repeatedly from infiltration positions, unleash enfilading fire from the flanks and surge forward to blaze away at point‑blank range before manoeuvring swiftly to other attack angles. Besides the death and destruction they cause, the prospect’s forces leave foes disarrayed, with little chance to rally any ravaged survivors before other Kin capitalise on their plight.
