Anti-Pope of Avignon

Your Patron is the Antipope of Avignon, the high priest of the Cult of the Black Grail. Whereas most strains of the Black Grail infect the body, the variant spread by Missionaries of Beelzebub targets the mind above all. This is why Apostles of the Fly are disturbingly effective at winning new converts to their cause despite the obvious ruin that follows devotion to the Lord of the Flies.

Beelzebub's Wisdom
Infested with the Black Grail, the head of this warrior is distended and liquid matter oozes out of its many trepanned holes; it is such a disgusting sight that enemy warriors often hesitate to draw close to the foul creature. If a model with this Skill is chosen by an enemy model as the target of a charge, the enemy model does not receive a Charge Bonus and must make the charge using only its Movement Characteristic.
Eye of Beelzebub
The overwhelming mental pressure of this emissary of Beelzebub overwhelms any mind. A model with this Skill can take a Deceit of Beelzebub ACTION. If it does so, take a Success Roll for the model. If the roll is a Failure, nothing happens. If the roll is a Success or Critical Success, pick an enemy model that is within 24" of the model taking the Eye of Beelzebub ACTION, in Cover, and which is not within 1" of any models from your Warband. Your opponent must then move that model 1", so that it is still in the line of sight of the model taking the ACTION but is no longer in Cover, and so that it is more than 1" away from any models from your Warband. If this is impossible for any reason, the enemy model is not moved.
Feast on Disease
If the target of a Melee Attack made by a model with this Skill has 1 or more INFECTION MARKERS, then it costs 1 less BLOOD MARKER or INFECTION MARKER to convert an Injury Roll into a Bloodbath Roll.
Infect the Mind
At the start of each game, after deployment, for each model with this Skill that is on the battlefield, you can pick an enemy model and move it 6" in the same way as if it were carrying out a Move ACTION (it cannot Charge).
Silvered Tongue
A model with this Skill can take a Silvered Tongue ACTION. If it does so, take a Success Roll for the model. If the roll is a Failure, nothing happens. If the roll is a Success or Critical Success, pick an enemy model that is within 1" of the model taking the Silvered Tongue ACTION. The model you pick must make a Melee Attack against itself. If the enemy model has more than 1 Melee Weapon, you can choose which one it uses. The enemy model will only attack itself once, even if it is capable of attacking several times.
Swine Hybrid
Add 2" to the Movement Characteristic of a model with this Skill.
