Rules (1)

Cult Ambush

During deployment, you can set this unit up in ambush instead of on the battlefield. If this unit has the INFANTRY or BIKER keyword, you can either set it up in ambush or underground instead of on the battlefield.

When you set up a unit underground, it can emerge at the end of any of your Movement phases - set the unit up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" from any enemy models.

When you set up a unit in ambush, place one ambush marker anywhere on the battlefield that is wholly within your deployment zone. You will need one ambush marker for each unit that will deploy in this way. If you set up a TRANSPORT in ambush, you must still tell your opponent what units are embarked within it when it is set up in ambush - do not set up separate ambush markers for units that start the battle embarked within a TRANSPORT, even if they have the Cult Ambush ability.

In matched play, units set up in ambush using this rule count as being set up on the battlefield for the purposes of Tactical Reserves.

For ambush markers, see Codex: Genestealer Cults p79.

Transport
Goliath Truck: Up to 10 INFANTRY models. Each PATRIARCH takes the space of five other models.

Abilities
Open-topped: Models embarked on this model can attack in their Shooting phase. Measure the range and draw line of sight from any point on the model. When they do so, any restrictions or modifiers that apply to this model also apply to its passengers; for example, the passengers cannot shoot if this model has Fallen Back in the same turn, cannot shoot (except with Pistols) if this model is within 1" of an enemy unit, and so on.
Explodes (6+/6"/D3): If this model is reduced to 0 wounds, roll a D6 before removing it from the battlefield and before any embarked models disembark. On a 6 it explodes, and each unit within 6" suffers D3 mortal wounds.
Rugged Construction: Roll a D6 each time this model loses a wounds; on a 6 the wound is not lost.
