Cantic Thrallnet

25 pts

Proclaimed to be a direct data-link to the will of the Omnissiah himself, this neuro-entanglement matrix allows for hyper-optimised combat cogitation.

SKITARII MARSHAL* model only. At the start of the battle round, you can select one friendly SKITARII unit within 12" of the bearer. Until the start of the next battle round, the Protector Imperative and the Conqueror Imperative are both active for that unit.

Clandestine Infiltrator

15 pts

Under cover of auspex scramblers, this holy soldier leads their fellows in a stealthy advance.

SKITARII* model only. The bearer, and models in any unit they are leading, have the Infiltrators and Scouts 6" abilities.

Veiled Hunter

10 pts

In silent supplication, a concentrated burst of noospheric negation manifests as a heavy band of shadow. Under this shroud, this commander’s warriors obfuscate the foe’s sensors and confuse their strategy.

SKITARII MARSHAL* model only. After both players have deployed their armies, you can select up to three SKITARII INFANTRY units from your army and redeploy all of those units. When doing so, any of those units can be placed into Strategic Reserves, regardless of how many units are already in Strategic Reserves.

Battle-sphere Uplink

25 pts

Tapping into infostacks of data emanating from across the wider battle-sphere, this experienced Skitarius synchronises with the flow of wisdom, drawing upon data that enables near-prophetic reactions.

SKITARII* model only. In your Shooting phase, after the bearer’s unit has shot, if it is not within Engagement Range of one or more enemy units, that unit can make a Normal move of up to 6". If it does, until the end of the turn, that unit is not eligible to declare a charge.
