==Prayers to the Dark Gods==

There are 11 total prayers that dark apostles now have access to; 1 that every apostle has by default, 6 that you can choose from, and 1 prayer for each chaos god that are known in addition depending on the apostles mark, if it has one. Each apostle can attempt to chant 1 prayer per battle round on a roll of a 3+ or a 2+ if there is at least one dark disciple nearby. Each prayer can only be attempted once per battle round.

*'''Mandatory Prayer:'''
**'''Dark Zealotry''': If this prayer is heard you can re-roll hit rolls in the fight phase for friendly attacks made within 6" of this priest.
***Because you roll for prayers at the start of a turn, this prayer sees nearly no use until later turns, especially because you can't cast a prayer whilst embarked in a transport.

*'''God Specific Prayers:'''
**'''Blissful Devotion'''<sup>{{W40kKeyword|Slaanesh}}</sup>: If this prayer is heard, the priest can advance and charge in the same turn.
**'''Feculent Beseechment'''<sup>{{W40kKeyword|Nurgle}}</sup>: If this prayer is heard, the priest gets +2 toughness.
**'''Mutating Invocation'''<sup>{{W40kKeyword|Tzeentch}}</sup>: If this prayer is heard, the priest is healed for D3 lost wounds.
**'''Wrathful Entreaty''' <sup>{{W40kKeyword|Khorne}}</sup>: If this prayer is heard, the priest gets +2 to its strength characteristic.

*'''Universal Optional Prayers:''' 
**'''Benediction of Darkness''': Pick one friendly {{W40kKeyword|Legion}} unit within 6" of this priest. Subtract 1 from hit rolls made for attacks with ranged weapons that target that unit. Note that because this happens at the start of the battle round instead of your turn, this prayer is very useful if you end up going second. Use this to protect a high priority unit, such as a Lord Discordant, from being taken out first turn. Stack with Miasma of Pestilence for Eldar level shenanigans. 
**'''Litany of Despair''': Your opponent rolls 2D6 and discards the lowest result each time they take a morale test for a unit within 6" of the priest. The dangerously short range of this prayer make it really difficult to use it properly, but if you find a way to correctly insert it in a night lords army, you will see even flayed ones run in fear.
**'''Illusory Supplication''': Friendly {{W40kKeyword|Legion}} models within 6" of this priest have a 5++ invulnerable save.
**'''Omen of Potency''': Add 3 to this priest's attacks characteristic. In addition, the priest's melee weapons has an armor penetration characteristic of -4.
**'''Soultearer Portent''': Pick one friendly {{W40kKeyword|Legion}} unit within 6" of this priest. Add 1 to wound rolls for attacks made with melee weapons by models in that unit. 
**'''Warp-Sight Plea''': Pick one friendly {{W40kKeyword|Legion}} unit within 6" of the priest. Add 1 to hit rolls for attacks made with ranged weapons by models in that unit. Consider stacking with prescience if you ''really'' need to hit the target.
