Slaanesh Hellstriders Soul Hunter

[Joseph Mackay]

Soul Hunters: if any enemy models were slain by wounds inflicted by this units attacks in the combat phase, add 1 to the attacks characteristic of this units melee weapons in the next combat phase.

do the extra attacks only apply in the next combat phase, or do they apply for the rest of the game? My opponent and I had a debate about this tonight as I believe it only applies to the next combat phase whereas they believed it applied for the rest of the game and therefore were getting +4 attacks. A gw store manager was there and took his side in the debate also for what it’s worth. Their argument was basically it doesn’t say ‘until the end of the next combat phase’ so it keeps going.

if you’re able to provide a source/link for your answer as I will need to show my opponent where the ruling comes from

There are abilities that, when triggered, "for the rest of the game" or equivalent. In this case it says in the next combat phase, not from the next combat phase or equivalent. So I would say this applies only to the next combat phase.
