Valerian

This model can be attached to the following units: ■ Custodian Guard ■ Custodian Wardens

While this model is leading a unit, each time a melee attack targets that unit, worsen that Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.

Once per battle, after making a Hit roll, Wound roll or saving throw for this model, you can change the result of that roll to an unmodified 6.

This ability always takes the form Feel No Pain X+. Each time a model with this ability would lose a wound, roll one D6: on an X+, that wound is not lost. 

Each time a unit with this ability is selected to fight, select one of the Ka'tah stances below. Until that unit has finished making its attacks, the selected Stance is active for it and it gains the relevant ability.

■ DACATARAI STANCE Melee weapons equipped by models in this unit have the [SUSTAINED HITS 1] ability. ■ RENDAX STANCE Melee weapons equipped by models in this unit have the [LETHAL HITS] ability.

Each time this unit makes an ingress move (20.04), if every model in this unit has this ability, it can be set up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 8" horizontally from all enemy units, even if that is within your opponent’s deployment zone.

Units containing one or more models with an [ASSAULT] weapon can shoot using assault shooting (10.05).
