'''Special Rules:'''
*'''Burrowers'''
*'''Consume:''' During the Shooting phase a unit with at least three bases with this rule may opt to devour an organic terrain piece (forests, bushes, swamps, etc) it touches. If it chooses to do so, you may move models in the unit to any point wholly within that piece of terrain before removing it from the field. This counts as advancing for all intents and purposes.
*'''Instinctive Behaviour'''
*'''Surge:''' In close combat, every model with this special rule can exchange all of its normal Attacks to make a single surge attack, which uses the following profile:
