Unit Abilities
Hidden Weapon Team

When you select this unit to be part of your army, you can pick 1 friendly CLANRATS or STORMVERMIN unit that has 10 or more models and is already part of your army to be the unit in which this unit is hiding. Record this information on a separate piece of paper. Do not set up this unit until it is revealed as described next. You can hide up to 1 WARPFIRE THROWER, RATLING GUN or DOOM-FLAYER unit in a CLANRATS or STORMVERMIN unit for every 10 models in that CLANRATS or STORMVERMIN unit. Hidden Weapon Team units are destroyed if the unit in which they are hiding is destroyed before they are revealed.

At the start of your shooting phase, you can reveal this hidden unit. If you do so, set up this unit wholly within 3" of the unit in which it was hiding and more than 3" from all enemy units. This unit can shoot in the phase in which it is revealed as long as the unit in which it was hiding did not run in the same turn (it could have retreated).

More-more Warpfire!

Before you pick the target for an attack made with a Warpfire Thrower, you can say that the crew are disabling the flow regulator. If you do so, increase the Range characteristic to 12" for that attack and add 1 to the roll that determines if an enemy model suffers 1 mortal wound. However, for each unmodified 1, this unit suffers 1 mortal wound after all of its attacks have been resolved.
