ABILITIES

CORE Deep Strike, Leader, Scouts 6"

Nexus of Devotion: While this model leads a unit, models in that unit gain the Feel No Pain 5+ ability. If the unit has the Hybrid Metamorphs keyword, they instead gain Feel No Pain 4+.
Summon the Cult: Once per battle, when a Cult Ambush marker must be removed because your opponent moved too close, and at least one model from your army with this ability is on the battlefield, you may use this ability. Instead of removing the marker, place it anywhere within 12" of a model with this ability and more than 9" horizontally from all enemy units (if impossible, the ability counts as unused and the marker is removed as normal).
Leader: This model can be attached to: Acolyte Hybrids With Autopistols, Acolyte Hybrids With Hand Flamers, Hybrid Metamorphs, Neophyte Hybrids.
