Scarab

Scarabs attached to a vehicle or a unit with armour locations reduce the Armour Value at all locations by 3 while they are attached. This effect is cumulative; so a Leman Russ Battle Tank with three Scarabs attached to it would have a Turret armour value of 16 from the front (25-9). It does not matter where the Scarabs are physically attached to the tank, since all armour locations are affected equally.

They do not form units and fight independently like characters do. Enemy troops do not have to shoot at Scarabs if they are the closest unit.

Instead of its normal 8” move, a Scarab may make a leap of up to 16”. Leaping Scarabs may move over any terrain during their leap without penalty, but are assumed to land at the end of the leap.
