ABILITIES

CORE Infiltrators, Stealth

Independent Operatives: When an Order is issued to this unit, it stays in effect until a new Order is issued to this unit, until this unit becomes Battle-shocked, or until the battle ends, whichever comes first.
Vox-caster: When you target the bearer's unit with a Stratagem, roll one D6, adding 1 if one or more friendly Officer models are within 6"; on a 5+ you gain 1CP.
Vox-relay Beacon: At the start of the battle, you may place one Vox-relay Beacon token for this unit anywhere on the battlefield outside your opponent's deployment zone. While a friendly Astra Militarum Regiment unit is within 6" of that token, Officer units from your army can issue Orders to that REGIMENT unit as if the OFFICER unit were within 6" of it. At the end of each phase, if an enemy unit is within 1" of a Vox-relay Beacon token you placed, remove that token.
