Abilities

Emplacement Platform:Friendly ASTRA MILITARUM INFANTRY models can be set up or end any type of move on top of the platform section of this FORTIFICATION.

Reinforced Cover:Each time a ranged attack is allocated to a model, if that model is not fully visible to every model in the attacking unit because of this FORTIFICATION, that model has the Benefit of Cover against that attack.

Defence Line:While an ASTRA MILITARUM INFANTRY model has the Benefit of Cover as a result of this terrain feature (see above), that model has a 4+ invulnerable save.

Fortification:While an enemy unit is only within Engagement Range of one or more FORTIFICATIONS from your army:

That unit can still be selected as the target of ranged attacks, but each time such an attack is made, unless it is made with a Pistol, subtract 1 from the Hit roll.
Models in that unit do not need to take Desperate Escape tests due to Falling Back while Battle-shocked, except for those that will move over enemy models when doing so.
