FACTION Reanimation Protocols

Bound Creation: While this unit is in the same unit as a Cryptek model, that CRYPTEK model has the Feel No Pain 4+ ability.
Systematic Vigour: Each time a CRYPTOTHRALL model in this unit is destroyed by a melee attack, if it has not fought this phase, roll one D6; on a 2+, do not remove it from play. It may fight after the attacking model's unit finishes its attacks, and is then removed from play.
CRYPTEK RETINUE: At the start of the Declare Battle Formations step, this unit may join one other unit from your army that is led by a Cryptek Infantry model (a unit cannot have more than one CRYPTOTHRALLS unit joined to it). If it does, for the rest of the battle every model in this unit counts as part of that Bodyguard unit, and that Bodyguard unit's Starting Strength increases accordingly.
