Deadly Demise
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.*
Synapse
If your Army Faction is **TYRANIDS**, while a **TYRANIDS** unit from your army is within 6" of one or more friendly **SYNAPSE** models, that **TYRANIDS** unit is said to be within Synapse Range of that model and of your army. While a **TYRANIDS** unit from your army is within Synapse Range of your army:
▪ Each time that unit takes a Battle‑shock test, take that test on 3D6 instead of 2D6.
▪ Each time a model in that unit makes a melee attack, add 1 to the Strength characteristic of that attack.

Abilities
Seed Mucolids:

Once per turn, in your shooting phase, when selected to shoot, one unit with this ability can use it instead of making any attacks with it's ranged weapons. If it does, you can add one new MUCOLID SPORES containing 1 model to your army and set it up anywhere on the battlefield that is wholly within 18" of this model and more than 8" horizontally away from all enemy units.

Hive Defences:

You can target this model with the Fire Overwatch stratagem for 0CP, and can do so even if you have already targeted a different unit with that stratagem this turn. This model can only be targeted with that Stratagem once per turn
