ABILITIES

FACTION Martial Ka’tah

Turbo-boost: When this unit Advances, do not roll for it. Instead, until the phase ends, add 6" to the Move characteristic of its models.
Quicksilver Execution: Once per battle, after this unit ends a Normal or Advance move, you may pick one enemy unit (excluding MONSTER and VEHICLE units) it moved over during that move, then roll one D6 for each model in this unit: for each 2+ that enemy unit takes 2 mortal wounds.
Led by: Shield-captain On Dawneagle Jetbike.
