Doom Scythe

Each time this model targets an enemy unit with its heavy death ray, your opponent must declare if that unit will stand firm or duck for cover: ■ If it stands firm, when resolving attacks against that unit this phase, a successful unmodified Hit roll of 5+ scores a Critical Hit. ■ If it ducks for cover, until the start of your next Shooting phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, subtract 1 from the Hit roll.

While this model has 1-4 wounds remaining, each time this model makes an attack, subtract 1 from the Hit roll.

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.

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