Canoptek Macrocytes

While an enemy unit (excluding Monsters and Vehicles) is within 3" of this unit, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, subtract 1 from the Hit roll.

This ability always takes the form Scouts X". In the Resolve Pre-battle Abilities step, if every model in a unit has this ability, you can do one of the following:  - If that unit is in strategic reserves, you can set up that unit anywhere that is wholly within your deployment zone.  - If that unit is wholly within your deployment zone, it can make a scout move (see below).  - If that unit is embarked within a DEDICATED TRANSPORT that is wholly within your deployment zone, and if every model embarked within that DEDICATED TRANSPORT has the Scouts ability, that DEDICATED TRANSPORT can make a scout move.

If your Army Faction is NECRONS, at the end of your Command phase, each unit from your army with this ability that is on the battlefield activates its Reanimation Protocols and reanimates D3 wounds. Each time such a unit reanimates a wound: ■ If that unit contains one or more models with fewer than their starting number of wounds remaining, select one of those models; that model regains one lost wound. ■ If all models in that unit have their starting number of wounds, but that unit is not at its Starting Strength, one destroyed model is returned to that unit with one wound remaining. Once such a unit is at its Starting Strength and all of its models have their starting number of wounds, nothing further happens.

Once per battle round, when a friendly Necrons unit within 3" of the bearer activates its Reanimation Protocols, the bearer can use this ability. If it does, that unit reanimates 1 additional wound.

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

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).

At the start of the Fight phase, select one friendly Canoptek unit within 3" of the bearer’s unit. Until the end of the phase, improve the Weapon Skill characteristic of weapons equipped by models in that unit by 1.

Each time an attack made with a [LETHAL HITS] weapon results in a critical hit, you can choose for that attack to automatically wound the target.  Designer’s Note:* Choosing to automatically wound the target means that no wound roll is made for that attack. You may decide against this, as it means that attack cannot result in a critical wound* and so cannot trigger other abilities such as [DEVASTATING WOUNDS].
