At the start of your Command phase, select one of the abilities in the Canticles of the Omnissiah section. Until the start of your next Command phase, this model has that ability.
At the start of your Command phase, select one unit from your opponent’s army. Until the start of your next Command phase, that enemy unit is your Machine Vengeance target. Each time a model in a friendly ADEPTUS MECHANICUS unit makes an attack that targets your Machine Vengeance target, you can re‑roll the Hit roll.
This model has the BATTLELINE keyword and has the following ability:
Binharic Courage (Aura): While a friendly ADEPTUS MECHANICUS unit is within 6" of this model, add 1 to the Objective Control characteristic of models in that unit and each time you take a Battle-shock or Leadership test for that unit, add 1 to that test.’
While a friendly ADEPTUS MECHANICUS unit is within 6" of this model, that unit has the Stealth ability.
While this model is within 3" of one or more other friendly ^^**Adeptus Mechanicus**^^ units, this model has the Lone Operative ability.At the start of your Command phase, this model regains up to D3 lost wounds.If this model is in your army, it must be your **^^Warlord^^**.This ability always takes the form **[ANTI-X Y+]**. Each time an attack is made with an **[ANTI]** weapon, if the target unit has the keyword denoted by **X**, an unmodified **wound roll** of **Y+** is a **critical wound**.
***Example:** An attack made with an **[ANTI-VEHICLE 4+]** weapon against a ^^**Vehicle**^^ unit will result in a **critical wound** on an unmodified **wound roll** of 4+, while an attack made with an **[ANTI-PSYKER 2+]** weapon against a ^^**Psyker**^^ unit will result in a **critical wound** on an unmodified **wound roll** of 2+.*Each time an attack made with a **[DEVASTATING WOUNDS]** weapon results in a **critical wound**, the attack sequence for that attack ends and the target unit suffers a number of **mortal wounds** equal to the **D** characteristic of that weapon. These are inflicted after resolving any normal damage inflicted by those attacks.
**Mortal wounds** inflicted by **[DEVASTATING WOUNDS]** weapons can damage a maximum of one model for each **critical wound**; any remaining **mortal wounds** inflicted by that attack are lost.
**Example: An attack made with a **[DEVASTATING WOUNDS]** weapon with a **D** characteristic of 3 results in a **critical wound** against an Intercessor Squad, so inflicts 3 **mortal wounds**. The first 2 **mortal wounds** are sufficient to **destroy** 1 Intercessor model, so the remaining **mortal wound** is lost.*Each time a unit containing one or more models with an **[EXTRA ATTACKS]** weapon fights, those models will make attacks with those weapons in addition to any others. In the Select Weapons step (04.01), for each of those models, you must select:
- All of that model’s **[EXTRA ATTACKS]** weapons.
- One of that model’s other melee weapons, if possible.Melee42+5-11Anti-Vehicle 4+, Devastating Wounds, Extra AttacksMelee42+8-22-Each time a unit containing one or more models with an **[EXTRA ATTACKS]** weapon fights, those models will make attacks with those weapons in addition to any others.

If this ability takes the form **[BLAST X]**, each time you gather **attack dice** for such a weapon, add **X** additional **attack dice** for every five models that were in the target unit in the Select Targets step (rounding down) instead.
***Example:** If a **[BLAST 2]** weapon with an **A** characteristic of 3 targets a unit containing 12 models, you would gather four additional **attack dice** for that weapon (for a total of seven for that weapon).*This ability always takes the form **[MELTA X]**. Each time a model makes an attack with a **[MELTA]** weapon, if the target unit was within half range of that weapon in the Select Targets step, until the attacking unit’s attacks have been resolved, add **X** to that weapon’s **D** characteristic.
***Example:** A model targets a unit that is within half range of a **[MELTA 2]** weapon with a **D** characteristic of D6. While resolving those attacks, that weapon has a **D** characteristic of **D6+2**.18"32+14-4D6Melta 3
