ABILITIES

CORE Deadly Demise D6

Deathstrike Missile: In your Shooting phase, each time this model is selected to shoot, if it has not yet shot its Deathstrike missile this battle, you may do one of the following in addition to resolving its ranged attacks: Designate Target - if it has no Deathstrike Target marker on the battlefield, place a unique one for this model anywhere on the battlefield; or Adjust Target - if it has a Deathstrike Target marker, move that marker anywhere else on the battlefield.
Plasma Warhead: The bearer may only shoot this weapon in your Shooting phase, and only if it Remained Stationary this turn and you did not use its Deathstrike Missile ability to Designate Target or Adjust Target this phase. When shooting it, do not pick a target; instead resolve its attacks by rolling for each unit within 6" of the centre of its Deathstrike Target marker individually.
One Shot: The bearer may shoot with this weapon only once per battle.
