Corvid Pattern Jump Pack:
Any model with both the Legiones Astartes (Raven Guard) and Independent Character special rules and with the Infantry Unit Type may exchange a Legion Warhawk jump pack for a Corvid pattern jump pack for +10 points. At the start of the controlling player’s Movement phase, a model with a Corvid pattern jump pack may set its Move Characteristic to a value of 14 for the duration of the controlling player’s turn (sometimes referred to as ‘activating’ the jump pack). This allows a model with a Corvid pattern jump pack to move up to 14", regardless of the Movement Characteristic shown on its Profile and gain any other benefits of a Movement Characteristic of 14 (including the bonus to Charge distance). In addition, all models with a Corvid pattern jump pack that have been activated ignore terrain while Moving and Charging, but must take Dangerous Terrain tests when beginning or ending their Movement in Dangerous Terrain – but gains a 4+ Invulnerable Save against any Wounds inflicted by failed Dangerous Terrain tests. A model with an activated Corvid pattern jump pack treats all Difficult Terrain as Dangerous Terrain and may move over both friendly and enemy models or units without penalty, but must end its Movement at least 1" away from any model from another unit. A model with a Corvid pattern jump pack may still Run, if it would normally be able to Run (this does not allow units that include any models with the Heavy Unit Sub-type to Run). When making a Run move for a model with an activated Corvid pattern jump pack, add the Initiative Characteristic of that model to 14 to determine how far it may move – the model ignores terrain and models from other units while making a Run move with a Corvid pattern jump pack as noted above, but may not make Shooting Attacks or declare a Charge in the same turn in which it has Run as per the normal rules for Running. Any model with a Corvid pattern jump pack also gains the Bulky (3), Hammer of Wrath (1) and Deep Strike special rules, or if it already has the Bulky (3) special rule, it gains the Bulky (4) special rule instead. During a Reaction made in any Phase, a player may not choose to activate a model’s Corvid pattern jump pack to gain any bonus to their Movement Characteristic. |
