Enhancements

Necromechanic

20 pts

The blessed healing of machinery is the sign of a true shepherd of the Omnissiah’s flock.

TECH-PRIEST* model only. Once per battle round, when a saving throw made for a friendly LEGIO CYBERNETICA or ADEPTUS MECHANICUS VEHICLE model within 12" of the bearer is failed, the bearer can use this Enhancement. If they do, change the Damage characteristic of that attack to 0.

Lord of Machines

15 pts

An intense burst of viral static can overload those machine spirits yoked to the service of the enemy.

TECH-PRIEST* model only. Once per turn, at the start of your opponent’s Shooting phase, select one enemy VEHICLE unit within 12" of and visible to the bearer. That unit must take a Leadership test: if that test is passed, until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, subtract 1 from the Hit roll; if that test is failed, that unit is not eligible to shoot this phase.

Emotionless Clarity

10 pts

With a mind unsullied by the passions common to the flesh, a Tech-Priest can entreat the machine spirit of a dying war engine to enact one final triumph.

TECH-PRIEST* model only. Once per turn, when a friendly LEGIO CYBERNETICA or ADEPTUS MECHANICUS VEHICLE model with the Deadly Demise ability that is within 12" of the bearer is destroyed, the bearer can use this Enhancement. If it does, do not roll to determine whether any mortal wounds are inflicted as a result of that model’s Deadly Demise ability. Instead, mortal wounds are automatically inflicted.

Arch-negator

5 pts

Feeding magneto-voltaic arcs and deadly frequencies into their weapons, the Tech-Priest is death incarnate to blasphemies against the Machine God.

TECH-PRIEST* model only. Ranged weapons equipped by the bearer have the [ANTI-VEHICLE 4+] ability.
