Heavy
In your Shooting phase, each time an attack is made with a **[HEAVY]** weapon, add 1 to the **hit roll** if all of the following apply to the attacking unit: 
- That unit is **unengaged**. 
- That unit was not set up on the battlefield this turn. 
- No model in that unit has moved more than 3" this turn.
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).
Devastating Wounds
Each time an attack made with a **[DEVASTATING WOUNDS]** weapon results in a **critical wound**, the attack sequence for that attack ends and the target unit suffers a number of **mortal wounds** equal to the **D** characteristic of that weapon. These are inflicted after resolving any normal damage inflicted by those attacks. 
**Mortal wounds** inflicted by **[DEVASTATING WOUNDS]** weapons can damage a maximum of one model for each **critical wound**; any remaining **mortal wounds** inflicted by that attack are lost. 
**Example: An attack made with a **[DEVASTATING WOUNDS]** weapon with a **D** characteristic of 3 results in a **critical wound** against an Intercessor Squad, so inflicts 3 **mortal wounds**. The first 2 **mortal wounds** are sufficient to **destroy** 1 Intercessor model, so the remaining **mortal wound** is lost.*
