One of Urien Rakarth's abilities is "Master of Pain" which confers a +1 to toughness to all friendly "Prophets of Flesh" units with 6".

Couple of questions:

1) I am assuming Prophets of Flesh is suppose to be a faction keyword synonymous with <Haemonculus Coven>. Is this a safe assumption? Should this ability apply to all <Haemonculus Coven> keyword units?

2) Assuming the answer to number 1 is "yes"...our DE Raiders and Venoms have keyword <Haemonculus Coven>...so I would also assume this ability raises their toughness as well?

What am I missing here??

Thanks!

Prophets of flesh is a subfaction of <Haemonculus Covens>

1.) This ability applies to all Haemonculus Coven units, which have chosen that keyword to be "prophets of flesh" which is the coven Urien is from.

2.) Yes it makes any venom or raider +1 toughness, as they can be from a coven. if you want a FTN reason why, there are models for coven crew, coven crew are higher toughness than normal crew hence their vehicles are slightly tougher.

Much appreciated. I'm pulling out Haemonculus for the first time tomorrow and I know I'm going to be bombarded with these questions.
