Abilities
Shrouding Spores (Malanthrope):

Your opponent must subtract 1 from hit rolls for ranged weapons that target units within 3" of any friendly Malanthropes. This penalty is not cumulative with the same penalty from VENOMTHROPES.

Prey Adaption:

If the last model in an enemy unit is slain within 1" of a Malanthrope n the Fight phase, all models in your army with the same keyword as the Malanthrope may re-roll hit rolls of 1 against all models with any of the same Faction keywords as the slain enemy.

Enhanced Toxic Miasma:

At the end of the Fight phase, roll a D6 for each enemy unit within 1" of any Malanthropes. On a 4+, that unit suffers a mortal wound.

Monstrous Brood:

The first time this unit is set up on the battlefield, all of its models must be placed within 6" of at least one other model in their unit. From that point onwards, each operates independently and is treated as a separate unit.

Synapse:

units automatically pass Morale tests if they are within 12" of any friendly units with this ability.

Shadow in the Warp:

Enemy PSKYERS must subtract 1 from any Psychic tests they make if they are within 18" of any units with this ability. TYRANID PSYKERS are not affected.
