Perhaps that's the point - Huron has no clout amongst his peers so he can never rest on his laurels - but this is the Master of the Maelstrom we're talking about. Many warriors thunder headlong into combat, using the impetus of their charge to bring swift death to their foes.

The strength of the Red Corsairs grows daily, and the name of Huron Blackheart is whispered fearfully across a score of Imperial sectors. These are the tight little hardback exclusives that bear the name of their central figure on the cover, usually with some in-universe label applied to them. Each time an attack scores a hit against a target unit, make a Wound roll for that attack by rolling one D6 to see if that attack successfully wounds the target unit. It consists of a bionic shoulder, arm and hand which increases his already impressive strength and is also combined with a set of serried talons, each swathed in a crackling disruption field, much like his axe.For example, Master of the Maelstrom is an epithet attached the Chaos worshipper known to his few friends as Huron Blackheart.

Each time an attack sucessfully wounds an Attached unit, that attack cannot be allocated to a CHARACTER model in that unit, even if that CHARACTER model has lost one or more wounds or has already had attacks allocated to it this phase.

If your unit is a CHAOS UNDIVIDED unit, you can instead re-roll the Hit roll and you can re-roll the Wound roll for that attack.

For the purposes of rules that are triggered when a unit is destroyed, such rules are still triggered when one of the individual units that made up an Attached unit is destroyed (the Leader or the Bodyguard unit). The ignition chamber from which the flame emerges in his palm is known as the "Eye of the Maelstrom.
