This ability always takes the form **Deadly Demise X**. Each time a model in this unit is **destroyed**, after the units embarked within it (if any) have made their **emergency disembark moves**, roll one D6. On a 6, that model suffers a **deadly demise**; 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"). 
***Example:** An Impulsor with a unit of Intercessors embarked within it is **destroyed** by ranged attacks. First, any unresolved attacks made by the attacking unit are resolved. Then the Intercessors make an **emergency disembark move**. Then the roll is made for the **Deadly Demise** ability, and on a 6, that ability is resolved. Finally, the Impulsor is removed from the battlefield.*

Dark Pacts

If your Army Faction is ^^**Heretic Astartes**^^, each time a unit with this ability is selected to shoot or fight, it can make a Dark Pact. If it does, it must first take a Leadership test before any effects of the Dark Pact are resolved; if that test is failed, that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds. Then, select one of the following abilities for that unit’s weapons to gain until the end of the phase:
■ [LETHAL HITS]
■ [SUSTAINED HITS 1]

Profiles:

Unit	M	T	Sv	W	LD	OC	InSv

Abilities
Scuttling Walker: Each time this unit makes a Normal, Advance or Fall Back move, it can move through models (excluding Titanic models) and terrain features. When doing so, it can move within Engagement Range of enemy models, but cannot end that move within Engagement Range of them, and any Desperate Escape test is automatically passed.
Daemonforge: Each time this unit makes a Dark Pact, until the end of the phase, each time this model makes an attack, re-roll a Wound roll of 1. In addition, once per battle, when this unit makes a Dark Pact, before making the resulting Leadership test, you can declare it will overcharge its daemonforge. If it does: If the resulting Leadership test is failed, this model suffers 3 mortal wounds instead of D3 mortal wounds. Until the end of the phase, each time this model makes an attack, you can re-roll the Wound roll.
Damaged: 1-6 wounds remaining: While this model has 1-6 wounds remaining, each time this model makes an attack, subtract 1 from the Hit roll.
