Abilities

Death to the Alien:Each time a model in this unit makes an attack, re-roll a Hit roll of 1. If the target of that attack does not have the IMPERIUM or CHAOS keywords, you can re-roll the Hit roll instead.
Kill Team:Each time an attack targets this unit, if it contains models with different Toughness characteristics, until the attacking unit has finished making its attacks, use the Toughness characteristic of the majority of the models in that unit when determining what roll is required for that attack to successfully wound. If two or more Toughness characteristics are tied for majority, use the highest value.

For the purposes of determining which models in this unit can embark within a Transport, Gravis Veteran models take up the space of 2 models, but can otherwise embark within any TRANSPORT their unit can embark within, even though similar models in other units have the GRAVIS keyword.

Designer’s Note: While the abstractions in the above rule cause some models to behave differently to similar models in other units, they are designed to minimise complicated Transport rules.

For every 5 models in the unit, up to 1 model’s infernus heavy bolter can be replaced with one of the following:
  • 1 frag cannon.
  • 1 hellstorm bolt rifle and 1 Astartes grenade launcher.
