Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army, if your WARLORD has the HIVE TENDRIL keyword. Select one HIVE TENDRIL CHARACTER model from your army and give them one Relic (this must be a Relic they can have). Each Relic in your army must be unique, and you cannot use this Stratagem to give a model two Relics. You can only use this Stratagem once, unless you are playing a Strike Force battle (in which case you can use this Stratagem twice), or an Onslaught battle (in which case you can use this Stratagem three times).
