Shooting

An enemy who manages to pierce the Ogryns’ dense forms often succeeds only in attracting their attention and becoming the objects of a sudden and trampling rush.

Your opponent’s Shooting phase, when an enemy unit that targeted a friendly unengaged BULLGRYN SQUAD/OGRYN SQUAD unit has shot.

Target:

That Bullgryn Squad/Ogryn Squad unit.

Your Turn

Low Profile

Shooting

Ratling snipers carefully scout out the most advantageous vantage points from which to unleash their kill shots, positions in which their eerie stillness and diminutive silhouette are hard to spot.

Your Shooting phase, when a friendly Ratlings unit has shot.

Target:

That Ratlings unit.

Effect:

Those ranged attacks do not prevent your unit from being hidden.
