FACTION Battle Focus, Disparate Paths

Death is Not Enough: In your Shooting phase, after this model shoots, pick one enemy unit (not MONSTERS or VEHICLES) that was hit by at least one of those attacks. That unit takes a Battle-shock test; if any of those attacks destroyed a model in it, subtract 1 from the test.
Cruel Amusement: In your Shooting phase, each time this model is chosen to shoot, pick one of the following for its shrieker cannon to have until the phase ends: [IGNORES COVER], [PRECISION], or [SUSTAINED HITS 3].
TRAVELLING PLAYERS: Unless stated otherwise, you cannot include more than one of this model in your army.
Flip Belt: Whenever the bearer's unit makes a Normal, Advance, Fall Back or Charge move, ignore any vertical distance when measuring how far the bearer can move during that move.
