Winged Hive Tyrant

At the start of the Fight phase, you can select one enemy unit within 12" of and visible to this model and roll one D6: on a 1, this Psyker suffers D3 mortal wounds; on a 2+, until the end of the phase, subtract 1 from the Attacks characteristic of weapons equipped by models in that unit.

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.

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.

If your Army Faction is TYRANIDS, once per battle, in either player’s Command phase, if one or more units from your army with this ability are on the battlefield, you can unleash the Shadow in the Warp. When you do, each enemy unit on the battlefield must take a Battle‑shock test. Each time an enemy unit takes such a Battle‑shock test, if it is within 6" of one or more SYNAPSE units from your army, subtract 1 from that test.

If your Army Faction is TYRANIDS, while a TYRANIDS unit from your army is within 6" of one or more friendly SYNAPSE models, that TYRANIDS unit is said to be within Synapse Range of that model and of your army. While a TYRANIDS unit from your army is within Synapse Range of your army: ▪ Each time that unit takes a Battle‑shock test, take that test on 3D6 instead of 2D6. ▪ Each time a model in that unit makes a melee attack, add 1 to the Strength characteristic of that attack.

Once per battle round, one model from your army with this ability can use it when a friendly TYRANIDS unit within 12" of that model is targeted with a Stratagem. If it does, reduce the CP cost of that use of that Stratagem by 1CP.
