Thornbacks

Each time an attack is allocated to this model, subtract 1 from the Damage characteristic of that attack (to a minimum of 1). This is not cumulative with any other abilities that reduce the Damage of characteristic of an attack.

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

Each time this model makes a melee attack, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.

When this model is destroyed, roll one D6 before removing it from play. On a 6+, the closest enemy unit within 3" suffers 1 mortal wound.

When this unit is first set up on the battlefield, its models do not have to be set up in unit coherency. Instead, each model must be set up within 6" of one other model from its unit. From that point on, each model in this unit is treated as a separate unit.

Each time this model makes a ranged attack: • The target does not receive the benefits of Light Cover against that attack. • On an unmodified wound roll of 6, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.
