ABILITIES

CORE Deadly Demise D6

FACTION Dark Pacts

Scuttling Walker: Whenever this unit makes a Normal, Advance or Fall Back move, it may move through models that are not TITANIC and through terrain features. It may move within Engagement Range of enemy models but cannot end the move there, and any Desperate Escape test is automatically passed.
Daemonforge: Whenever this unit makes a Dark Pact, until the end of the phase, re-roll a Wound roll of 1 whenever this model attacks. Also, once per battle, when this unit makes a Dark Pact, before the resulting Leadership test you may declare it will overcharge its daemonforge. If so: on a failed test this model takes 3 mortal wounds instead of D3; and until the end of the phase you may re-roll the Wound roll whenever this model attacks.
Damaged: 1-6 wounds remaining While this model has 1-6 wounds left, subtract 1 from the Hit roll for every attack it makes.
