Accelerator Mandible: At the start of the Fight phase, choose one friendly Canoptek unit within 3" of the bearer's unit. Until the end of the phase, improve the Weapon Skill characteristic of weapons equipped by its models by 1.
Nanoscarab Projector: Once per battle round, when a friendly NECRONS unit within 3" of the bearer activates its Reanimation Protocols, the bearer may use this ability; if it does, that unit reanimates 1 additional wound.
