Animatus Malevolence (Cybertheurgic Rite)
(Rule)Description: Instead of making a Shooting Attack, a Cybertheurgist with this Cybertheurgic Rite may select a single friendly unit within 12" that is entirely composed of models with the Corrupted Engine Unit Sub-type and then apply one of the following effects:
• The chosen unit may immediately move a number of inches up to its unmodified Initiative Characteristic directly towards the nearest enemy unit. If the chosen unit has mixed Initiative Characteristics, use the highest unmodified Characteristic.
• All models in the chosen unit improve their Invulnerable Save by 1, to a maximum of 3+, until the beginning of the controlling player’s next turn, (e.g., a model with an Invulnerable Save of 5+ improves their save to 4+).
• All models in the unit add 1 to their WS and I characteristics until the end of the subsequent Assault phase.
The Cybertheurgist’s controlling player may choose to make a Cybertheurgy check before using this power. If the Check is successful then two different options chosen from the above list may be applied to the target unit instead of one. If the Check is failed then no options may be chosen – the Cybertheurgist suffers Cybertheurgic Feedback and the Cybertheurgist may not use another Cybertheurgic Rite during this Shooting phase.
