FACTION Battle Focus
Fleet of Foot: This unit can perform the Fade Back Agile Manoeuvre without spending a Battle Focus token. It may do so even if other units have already done so this phase, and doing so does not stop other units performing that same Agile Manoeuvre this phase.
Crewed Platform: When the last Guardian Defender model in this unit dies, any Heavy Weapon Platform models still in the unit are also destroyed.
Led by: Autarch, Eldrad Ulthran, Farseer, Prince Yriel (Legendary), The Visarch, Warlock, Yvraine.
