Hard to Hit

Your opponent must subtract 1 from hit rolls for attacks that target this model in the Shooting phase.

Shock Assault

Each time this unit fights if it made a charge move, was charged or performed a Heroic Intervention this turn, then until that fight is resolved, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of models in this unit.

- The shooting model's target is within half the weapon's range
- The shooting model is Infantry (excluding Centurion models) and it's unit Remained Stationary in your previous Movement Phase.
- The shooting model is a Terminator or Biker
