Captain in Phobos Armour

Each time this unit makes an ingress move (20.04), if every model in this unit has this ability, it can be set up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 8" horizontally from all enemy units, even if that is within your opponent’s deployment zone.

Before the battle, in the Muster Armies step, for each leader and support unit in your army, you can select one friendly bodyguard unit that unit can lead. That unit will then lead that bodyguard unit for the battle and form an attached unit with it.

Unless otherwise stated, each bodyguard unit can only have one leader unit and one support unit attached to it.

See Attached Units (19)

This ability always takes the form Scouts X". In the Resolve Pre‑battle Abilities step, if every model in a unit has this ability, you can do one of the following:

• If that unit is in strategic reserves, you can set up that unit anywhere that is wholly within your deployment zone.
• If that unit is wholly within your deployment zone, it can make a scout move (24.32).
• If that unit is embarked within a DEDICATED TRANSPORT that is wholly within your deployment zone, and if every model embarked within that DEDICATED TRANSPORT has the Scouts ability, that DEDICATED TRANSPORT can make a scout move.

In your Command phase, you can use this ability. If you do, select one combat doctrine to be active for this unit until the start of your next Command phase.

• In your Shooting phase, when this unit has shot, if this unit is unengaged, this unit can make a normal move of up to D6".
• Or: At the end of your opponent’s Fight phase if this unit is engaged, this unit can make a fall-back move of up to 6".

This model can be attached to the following units:

• ELIMINATOR SQUAD
• INCURSOR SQUAD
• INFILTRATOR SQUAD
• REIVER SQUAD
• SCOUT SQUAD
• SPECTRUS KILL TEAM
• WOLF SCOUTS
