Description

MASTER SNIPER, CYGNAR SOLO

Just as some Llaelese duelists excel in their art, so some Long Gunners have taken their skill with the Repeating Long Gun to another level. Non-magical in nature, these rare individuals become snipers of consummate skill, and few Long Gunner Companies are without them. Carrying the rank of Master Sniper, equivalent to senior sergeant or non-commissioned officer, they stalk the edges of the battlefield, taking out key targets at opportune times.

Special Rules

Master Sniper

  • Advance Deploy - Place the Master Sniper after normal deployment, up to 12" beyond the normal deployment zone.
  • Crack Shot - The Master Sniper's targets do not benefit from screening.
  • Dual Shot - The Master Sniper may voluntarily forfeit his movement to make one additional ranged attack this turn in addition to receiving the aiming bonus.
  • Sniper - When damaging a warjack, the Master Sniper's controller chooses which column takes the damage. When damaging a warbeast, the Master Sniper's controller chooses which branch takes damage. After a successful ranged attack, the Master Sniper may automatically inflict one point of damage instead of making a damage roll.
  • Lay in Wait - The Master Sniper may forfeit his action to gain Lay in Wait for a round. When an enemy model ends its normal movement within 14" and LOS of the Master Sniper it may immediately make its ranged attacks against target model, then Lay in Wait expires. If the Master Sniper forfeiting its movement during its last activation it may make two ranged Ranged attacks before Lay in Wait expires and gains +2 on ranged attack rolls. While a model with Lay in Wait is benfiting from cover or concealment, he gains an addditonal +4 DEF against ranged or magic attacks.
  • Longgunner Commander - The Master Sniper may act as the unit leader for a unit of Long Gunners, giving orders as the sergeant, provided the original leader is dead or removed from play, and provided at least one member of the unit is within the Master Sniper's command range.

If Kell Bailoch hadn't deserted, what would that look like?
