Lictors

Lictors do not need to be placed together at deployment, and operate independently during the game.

Lictors deploy using the Deep Strike rule, regardless of mission, to represent them leaping out from concealment. They must always Deep Strike into a piece of area terrain. If this terrain is classed as Impassable, the lictor will not be destroyed but instead placed as normal. If the Deep Strike roll would take the Lictor out of the boundaries of the the chosen area terrain, the Lictor must be placed as close to the point indicated as possible without any part of its base leaving that terrain piece. A Lictor may assault the turn it enters play.

Each Lictor taken allows the Tyranid player to re-roll one Reserves roll per turn, regardless of whether the Lictor is in play or not. This re-roll does not apply to Lictors.
