Melta This ability always takes the form **[MELTA X]**. Each time a model makes an attack with a **[MELTA]** weapon, if the target unit was within half range of that weapon in the Select Targets step, until the attacking unit’s attacks have been resolved, add **X** to that weapon’s **D** characteristic.
***Example:** A model targets a unit that is within half range of a **[MELTA 2]** weapon with a **D** characteristic of D6. While resolving those attacks, that weapon has a **D** characteristic of **D6+2**.
Blast Each time you gather attack dice for a **[BLAST]** weapon, add one additional **attack dice** for every five models that were in the target unit in the Select Targets step (rounding down). If this ability takes the form **[BLAST X]**, each time you gather **attack dice** for such a weapon, add **X** additional **attack dice** for every five models that were in the target unit in the Select Targets step (rounding down) instead.
***Example:** If a **[BLAST 2]** weapon with an **A** characteristic of 3 targets a unit containing 12 models, you would gather four additional **attack dice** for that weapon (for a total of seven for that weapon).*
Sustained Hits This ability always takes the form **[SUSTAINED HITS X]**. Each time an attack made with a **[SUSTAINED HITS]** weapon results in a **critical hit**, that attack results in a number of additional hits on the target as denoted by **X**.
***Example: An attack made with a **[SUSTAINED HITS 2]** weapon results in a **critical hit**. That attack therefore hits the target three times (once from the **critical hit**, and twice more from the **[SUSTAINED HITS 2]** ability).
