Talos

Each time this unit destroys an enemy unit, you gain 1 additional Pain token.

If a model in this unit is equipped with 2 macro-scalpels, those weapons have the [Twin-Linked] ability.

At the start of the Fight phase, you can spend 1 Pain token to Empower this unit. While Empowered, each time a model in this unit is destroyed by a melee attack, if that model has not fought this phase, roll one D6. On a 2+, do not remove it from play; that destroyed model can fight after the attacking unit has finished making its attacks, and it is then removed from play.

This ability always takes the form Deadly Demise X. Each time a model in this unit is destroyed, after the units embarked within it (if any) have made their emergency disembark moves, roll one D6. On a 6, that model suffers a deadly demise; each unit within 6" of that model suffers a number of mortal wounds denoted by X (if this is a random number, roll separately for each unit within 6").  Example:* An Impulsor with a unit of Intercessors embarked within it is destroyed by ranged attacks. First, any unresolved attacks made by the attacking unit are resolved. Then the Intercessors make an emergency disembark move. Then the roll is made for the Deadly Demise* ability, and on a 6, that ability is resolved. Finally, the Impulsor is removed from the battlefield.

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. 

All Drukhari units have a Pain ability, tagged with the word 'Pain'. Pain abilities only apply to a unit while it is Empowered. If your Army Faction is Drukhari, you can Empower units from your army with Pain abilities by spending Pain tokens (see below).

GAINING PAIN TOKENS

If your Army Faction is Drukhari, you gain Pain tokens as follows: ■ 1 Pain token at the start of your Command phase. ■ 1 Pain token each time an enemy unit is destroyed. ■ 1 Pain token each time an enemy unit fails a Battle-shock test.

Each time you gain a Pain token, keep it to one side – this is your Pain token pool. Each time you spend a Pain token, reduce your Pain token pool by the same amount.

EMPOWERED THROUGH PAIN

Each Pain ability will state when you can spend Pain tokens to Empower that unit. When you do, until the end of the phase, that unit is Empowered and all Pain abilities it has take effect. While an Attached unit is Empowered, the Pain abilities of all Leader and Bodyguard units in that unit take effect - you do not need to spend additional Pain tokens to activate each of those Pain abilities.

Each time a unit containing one or more models with an [EXTRA ATTACKS] weapon fights, those models will make attacks with those weapons in addition to any others. In the Select Weapons step (04.01), for each of those models, you must select:  - All of that model’s [EXTRA ATTACKS] weapons.  - One of that model’s other melee weapons, if possible.

Each time an attack is made with a [TORRENT] weapon, that attack automatically hits the target.

Each time an attack is made with a [TWIN-LINKED] weapon, you can re-roll the wound roll.

This ability always takes the form [ANTI-X Y+]. Each time an attack is made with an [ANTI] weapon, if the target unit has the keyword denoted by X, an unmodified wound roll of Y+ is a critical wound. Example:* An attack made with an [ANTI-VEHICLE 4+] weapon against a Vehicle unit will result in a critical wound on an unmodified wound roll of 4+, while an attack made with an [ANTI-PSYKER 2+] weapon against a Psyker unit will result in a critical wound on an unmodified wound roll* of 2+.

This ability always takes the form [SUSTAINED HITS X]. Each time an attack made with a [SUSTAINED HITS] weapon results in a critical hit, that attack results in a number of additional hits on the target as denoted by X. Example: An attack made with a *[SUSTAINED HITS 2] weapon results in a critical hit. That attack therefore hits the target three times (once from the critical hit, and twice more from the [SUSTAINED HITS 2] ability).

Each time an attack made with a [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] weapon results in a critical wound, the attack sequence for that attack ends and the target unit suffers a number of mortal wounds equal to the D characteristic of that weapon. These are inflicted after resolving any normal damage inflicted by those attacks.  Mortal wounds inflicted by [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] weapons can damage a maximum of one model for each critical wound; any remaining mortal wounds inflicted by that attack are lost.  Example: An attack made with a [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] weapon with a D characteristic of 3 results in a critical wound against an Intercessor Squad, so inflicts 3 mortal wounds. The first 2 mortal wounds are sufficient to destroy 1 Intercessor model, so the remaining mortal wound* is lost.

This ability always takes the form [MELTA X]. Each time a model makes an attack with a [MELTA] weapon, if the target unit was within half range of that weapon in the Select Targets step, until the attacking unit’s attacks have been resolved, add X to that weapon’s D characteristic.  Example:* A model targets a unit that is within half range of a [MELTA 2] weapon with a D characteristic of D6. While resolving those attacks, that weapon has a D characteristic of D6+2**.

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