Abilities
Remote Control:

The Cyclops is remote controlled. It may move to within 1" of an enemy model in the Movement phase.

The operator is a single Engineer. He guides the Cyclops to its target via remote control. The Cyclops cannot function more than 48" away from its operator. If they become separated, the Cyclops simple stops and can do nothing until its operator is back within 48". If the operator is killed, the Cyclops can do nothing (including detonate).

 As a remote vehicle, the Cyclops is destroyed by any glancing or penetrating hit. When rolling for armour penetration, if a weapon scores a 6 and this results in a penetrating hit against the Cyclops, the demolition charge is detonated and it explodes. Place the Ordnance template centred on the Cyclops as if it detonated as normal. Note that a roll of a 6 that causes a glancing hit will not cause the Cyclops to explode.

A Cyclops cannot claim objectives/table quarters and neither can its operator.

A Cyclops which self detonates is worth no Victory points to the enemy. If a Cyclops is destroyed by enemy fire it is worth Victory points. If the Cyclops or operator survives it is worth half Victory points. You get full Victory points if the Cyclops is destroyed and the operator is killed. 

A single Cyclops and its operator may be transported inside a Chimera. They count as 10 men.

The Cyclops carries a demolition charge that is detonated when the vehicle reaches its target. In the Imperial Guard Shooting phase, place the template centred on the Cyclops. Do not roll for scatter. Anything under the template is hit as normal. The Cyclops is destroyed in the explosion, remove it from play.
