Outlander Claw

2 DP

Detachment Rule: Rapid Takeover

Whether forming loose clans of wandering nomads or militarised rapid-reaction corps, the cultists of Outlander Claws use their experience to launch assaults on prominent targets. Swiftly exploiting or rigging them with proximity charges, they can deny resources to the enemy without yoking themselves to a static defence. While a GENESTEALER CULTS MOUNTED or GENESTEALER CULTS VEHICLE model from your army is not Battle-shocked , add 1 to its Objective Control characteristic. In addition, at the end of your Command phase , if one or more ATALAN JACKALS units from your army are within range of an objective marker you control, that objective marker remains under your control until your opponent’s Level of Control over that objective marker is greater than yours at the end of a phase.
