SPECIAL RULES

If Khamul makes a Strike against an enemy model which causes a Wound, he instantly regains a single point of Will spent earlier in the battle for each Wound caused (unless the Wound is saved by a point of Fate or a similar special rule). This cannot restore his Will beyond 12.

Additionally, Khamul may expend a single point of Will at the start of the Fight phase before Heroic Actions are declared, to increase either his Fight value, Strength or Attacks by 1 for the remainder of that Fight phase. Note that if he is mounted, Khamul will only ever increase his own Fight, Strength or Attacks, not those possessed by his mount.
