Surging Broodworship

1 CP

ShootingFight

Feeding back through the unnatural connection of the broodmind, the sheer worshipful belief of the masses in the superhuman abilities of their champions actually manifests to empower those very figureheads.

Your Shooting phase or the Fight phase, when a friendly Killer unit is selected to attack.

Target:

That Killer unit.

Effect:

Attacks made by KILLER models in your unit have [Devastating Wounds].

Loyal to the End

1 CP

Fight

Even caught firmly within the jaws of death, still this champion of the cult lives up to their reputation for deadly skill and utter devotion to the cause.

When:

Fight phase, when an enemy unit targets a friendly Killer unit.

Target:

That Killer unit.

Effect:

When a Killer model in your unit is destroyed, if your unit has not been selected to fight this phase, roll one D6:

On a 1, that enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound.
On a 2+, do not remove that model from the battlefield. When your unit has fought, or at the end of the phase (whichever comes first), that model is removed from the battlefield.

ShootingFight

Few sights are more inspiring to the downtrodden yet fanatical masses of the Genestealer Cult than seeing their folk heroes striking down their oppressors.

Your Shooting phase or the Fight phase, when a friendly Killer unit has attacked, if those attacks destroyed an enemy unit or an enemy Character model.

Target:

That Killer unit.

Effect:

Each visible friendly battle-shocked GENESTEALER CULTS unit within 12" of your unit is no longer battle-shocked.
