Some models have 'Deadly Demise x' listed in their abilities. When such a model is destroyed, roll one D6 before removing it from play (if such a model is a TRANSPORT, roll before any embarked models disembark). On a 6, 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").

Hover

Some AIRCRAFT models have 'Hover' listed in their abilities. When you are instructed to Declare Battle Formations, before doing anything else, you must first declare which models from your army with this ability will be in Hover mode.

If a model is in Hover mode,  then until the end of the battle, its Move characteristic is changed to 20", it loses the AIRCRAFT keyword and it loses all associated rules for being an AlRCRAFT model. Models in Hover mode do not start the battle in Reserves, but you can choose to place them into Strategic Reserves following the normal rules if you wish.

For The Greater Good

If your Army Faction is T’AU EMPIRE, then in your Shooting phase units from your army can work in pairs to help each other target specific enemy units. When they do this, one unit is the Observer unit and the other is their Guided unit. The enemy they are targeting is called their Spotted unit.


Each time you select this unit to shoot, if it is not an Observer unit, it can use this ability. If it does, select one other friendly unit with this ability that is also eligible to shoot (excluding FORTIFICATION, Battle-shocked and Observer units). Until the end of the phase, this unit is considered a Guided unit, and that friendly unit is considered an Observer unit. Then select one enemy unit that is visible to both your units to be their Spotted unit.

Until the end of the phase:

- Each time a model in a Guided unit makes an attack that targets their Spotted unit, improve the Ballistic Skill characteristic of the attack by 1 and, if their Observer unit has the MARKERLIGHT keyword, the attack has the [IGNORES COVER] ability.
- Each time a model in a Guided unit makes an attack that does not target their Spotted unit, worsen the Ballistic Skill characteristic of the attack by 1.

Abilities
Jet Pack Insertion: At the end of your opponent’s Movement phase, one or more units embarked within this TRANSPORT can disembark from it, provided every model in each of those disembarking units has the Deep Strike ability.
Damaged: 1-9 Wounds Remaining: While this model has 1-9 wounds remaining, each time this model makes an attack, subtract 1 from the Hit roll.

Transport
Orca Dropship [Legends]: This model has a transport capacity of 48 T’AU EMPIRE INFANTRY models. This model can also transport up to 6 BATTLESUIT models (these models take up the space of a number of models equal to their Wounds characteristic, e.g. a BATTLESUIT with a Wounds characteristic of 8 would take up the space of 8 models). This model cannot transport KROOT or VESPID STINGWINGS models.
