Rules (3)

Strikedown

Any non-vehicle model that suffers one or more unsaved Wounds or passes one or more saving throws against an attack with the Strikedown special rule moves as if it is in difficult terrain until the end of its next turn. It is a good idea to mark affected models with counters or coins so that you remember.

One Use Only/One Shot Only

A weapon or ability with this special rule can only be used once during the course of a battle.

Ignores Cover

Cover saves cannot be taken against Wounds, glancing hits or penetrating hits caused by weapons with the Ignores Cover special rule.

Profiles:

Wargear Item
Serpent Shield: All penetrating hits inflicted against the front or side armour of a vehicle equipped with a serpent shield are downgraded to glancing hits on a D6 roll of 2+. Once per game, the serpent shield can be used as a weapon in the controlling player's Shooting phase, with the profile listed. This is treated as a hull-mounted weapon that is pointing forward. For the remainder of the battle after the shooting attack has been resolved, all subsequent hits against the vehicle are treated as though the vehicle was not equipped with a serpent shield.
