FACTION For the Greater Good

Exemplars of Mont’ka: When a model here makes a ranged attack against the closest eligible target, that attack gains the [SUSTAINED HITS 1] and [IGNORES COVER] abilities.
Neocapacitor Shields: At the start of your opponent's Charge phase, you may choose one enemy unit (not a MONSTER or VEHICLE) within 12" of this unit. That unit takes a Battle-shock test and, until the end of the turn, has 1 subtracted from Charge rolls made for it.
Retro-thrusters: At the end of the Fight phase, if this unit was eligible to fight this phase, it may make either a Normal move of up to 6" or a Fall Back move.
MV15 Gun Drone: The bearer is equipped with 1 twin pulse blaster.
