Editing Executioners (section)

===7th Edition===
Last edition's Forge World chapter tactics for the Executioners allows them to ignore ''any negative Leadership modifier of '''any kind.''''' (including from lost combats?) Also, all characters, from Sergeants to Captains, gain ''Instant Death'' on to-wound rolls of six, but they must issue and accept challenges. If it wasn't obvious before, Executioners are a melee-based army where even Scouts could potentially keep a unit locked into assault and a basic Sergeant with a Power Sword could knock down special snowflakes. In other words, these guys are true Space Marines taking full advantage of their superior biology, armor, and weaponry to win.

Their special character comes in the form of Thulsa Kane, a Chaplain with a 2+/4++ save, Plasma Pistol, and a S6 Power Axe. Along with Zealot he has Eternal Warrior and allows any friendly model (a '''single''' model) within 12" of him to reroll to-wound rolls of one the turn they charge. Bit situational, but can prove useful sometimes, especially if said model is a Dreadnought. His set Warlord trait allows all friendly units to add +1 to assault results and sweeping advance whenever Kane is in a challenge (if he's not, you're doing it wrong). And remember, Instant Death on to-wound rolls of six applies to Kane as well.
