FACTION Prioritised Efficiency
Outflanking Mag-riders: At the end of your opponent's turn, if this unit is wholly within 9" of one or more battlefield edges and not within Engagement Range of any enemy unit, you may take it off the battlefield and put it into Strategic Reserves.
Multiwave Comms Array: Each time you target the bearer's unit with a Stratagem, roll one D6: on a 5+ you gain 1CP.
Panspectral Scanner: Each ranged attack a model in the bearer's unit makes may re-roll a Hit roll of 1.
Rollbar Searchlight: Each ranged attack a model in the bearer's unit makes may ignore any or all modifiers to the Hit roll.
