Kroot Packmates: Once per turn, in your opponent's Shooting phase, when a friendly Kroot Infantry unit within 6" of this unit is picked as the target of an attack, one of your units with this ability may use it. If it does, after that enemy unit finishes its attacks, the unit with this ability may shoot as if it were your Shooting phase, but may only target that enemy unit (and only if it is an eligible target).
