Lone Operative
Unless part of an **attached** unit, this unit is not **visible** to enemy models unless they are within 12" of this unit, and it cannot be targeted by **[INDIRECT FIRE]** weapons unless the attacking model is within 12" of this unit.

Fights First
While every model in a unit has this ability, that unit is a **Fights First** unit. 
See the Resolve Fights First Combats step in the Fight phase (12.04).
Infiltrators
During deployment, if every model in a unit has this ability, it can be set up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 8" horizontally from your opponent’s deployment zone and all enemy units.
Stealth
If every model in a unit has this ability, each time a ranged attack targets that unit, that unit has the **benefit of cover** against that attack (13.08).
Voice Of Command
If your Army Faction is **^^Astra Militarum^^**, **^^Officer^^** models with this ability can issue Orders. Each **^^Officer^^**'s datasheet will specify how many Orders it can issue and which units are eligible to receive those Orders. Each time an **^^Officer^^** model issues an Order, select one of the Orders below, then select one eligible friendly unit within 6" of that **^^Officer^^** model to issue it to. **^^Officer^^** models can issue Orders in your Command phase and at the end of a phase in which they disembarked from a **^^Transport^^** or were set up on the battlefield.

Until the start of your next Command phase, the unit you selected is affected by that Order. Unless otherwise stated, a unit can only be affected by one Order at a time (any Order subsequently issued to that unit replaces the current one). Orders cannot be issued to Battle-shocked units, and if a unit being affected by an Order becomes Battle-shocked, that Order ceases to affect that unit.


Only **^^Astra Militarum^^** models gain the benefit of an Order issued to their unit.
