ABILITIES

CORE Deep Strike

FACTION Battle Focus

Grenade Pack Flyover: Once per turn in your Movement phase, when this unit is set up or finishes a Normal, Advance or Fall Back move, it may use this ability. If so, choose one enemy unit within 8" of and visible to it, then roll one D6 per Swooping Hawks model in this unit; each 4+ deals 1 mortal wound to that enemy unit, up to a cap of 6 mortal wounds. Each use of this ability means you cannot target this unit with the Grenade Stratagem for the rest of the turn.
Aspect Shrine Token: Once per battle for each Aspect Shrine token this unit has, you may change the result of one Hit roll or one Wound roll made for a model in this unit that is not a CHARACTER to an unmodified 6.
Led by: Autarch Wayleaper, Baharroth.
