Special Rules
Martial pride: Although Lucius has little interest in slaughtering hapless mortals, when he is confronted by a worthy foe he fights with the speed and skill of an enraged daemon. Lucius's Attacks characteristic is raised to 5 when he is in base contact with an opponent whose Weapon Skill is five or more. It is lowered to 2 when all opponents in base contact have Weapon Skill 2 or less.
Armour of Shrieking Souls: The armour Lucius has worn for countless millennia is a baroque monstrosity writhing with the howling souls of those that have killed him over the aeons. This incredibly potent artefact of Chaos confers a 4+ Invulnerable save that may be taken instead of Lucius's normal Armour save. In addition, Lucius may discharge the cacophony generated by the tormented essences trapped within his armour; to represent this he counts as being equipped with a Doom Siren.
Lucius may never join a unit with a Mark other than that of Slaanesh.
Errata — Chapter Approved: Codex: Chaos Space Marines Q&A (v3.0): Lucius is an Independent Character.
