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

For the purposes of this ability, a Rapid Fire bolt weapon is any bolt weapon (see page 195) with the Rapid Fire type.

Abilities
Artillery and Crew
Each Rapier Carrier and its crew are treated as a single model for all rules purposes (crew models must remain within 1" from their Rapier carrier). This means that the crew models cannot be targeted or attacked separately and that visibility and all ranges are measured to and from the Rapier Carrier's model, not the crew models. This unit cannot advance, is never eligible to charge or heroically intervene, and cannot make pile in or consolidate moves
