::'''Assimilate:''' If a model equipped with The Maw Claws of Thyrax removes an enemy model as a casualty in close combat, it immediately gains the Preferred Enemy special rule against all models from the assimilated model's codex.
::'''Hardened Diamantine Tips:''' The close combat attacks of a model equipped with the Maw-Claws of Thyrax have the Rending special rule, which triggers on 5+ rather than on 6 with 5s being considered 6s for the purpose of armor penetration and the d3 extra penetration die always being counted as rolling a three 3. If the model has Rending Claws as well, then the Rending effect applies on a 4+ instead with 4s also being considered 6s for the purpose of armor penetration.  If the model has Patriarch's claws, then the rending effect applies on a 3+ and the model may count itself as having an additional point of strength for the purposes of armor penetration.

*'''The Norn Crown'''
::A model with the Norn Crown adds 6" to its synapse range. Additionally, it gains Psyker (Mastery Level 1) special rule. If it already has the Psyker special rule, its Mastery Level is increased by 1. In addition, the model's invulnerable save is improved by one - if the model does not have an invulnerable save, it gains a 6+ invulnerable save. 

*'''The Hungering Carapace'''
::A model with the hungering carapace improves its armor save by one step, or if their armor save is already a 2+ (factor this in after mutations), they gain a 6+ FNP save, or improve their existing FNP save by one.   The hungering carapace grants the '''It Will not Die''' special rule to the model it is given to and the unit it is attached to as the slavering symbiont exudes a healing aura, but its most fearsome ability is its power to consume other living beings.  For every six rolled by the model using the Hungering carapace in assault either to hit or wound, place a token on the model, for each token, the model gains an instant death attack resolved at the user's strength score + 2 and at AP2 at initiative 1, for every model slain in this manner, roll a d6, on a 4+ the model regains a wound; if the model already has its full wound count, then its it will not die roll is improved by one step for each model slain in this manner for the remainder of the turn.

*'''The Ymgarl Factor'''
::At the start of it's movement phase, a model with the Ymgarl Factor must alter their form into one of the three listed below. The bonus gained lasts until the start of it's next movement phase. The same form cannot be chosen in two consecutive turns. 
::*'''Slashing Claws:''' The model has +D3 Strength.
::*'''Tentacled Limbs:''' The model has +D3 Attack.
::*'''Muscled Carapace:''' The model has +D3 Toughness.

::'''Aetherbane:''' The Psyleech Venom Cannon gains a +1 modifier to Strength against units which contain at least one model with the Daemon, Psyker, Chaos Boons, Psychic Pilot, Brotherhood of Psykers or Brotherhood of Sorcerers special rule or at least one model with equipment listed as a mark of chaos, an icon of chaos, an artifact of chaos, or a chaos reward. Successful invulnerable saves against wounds or penetrating/glancing hits caused by the Psyleech Venom Cannon must be re-rolled.  In case of rules clash generated by allowing rerollable saves, such as through the daemon of tzeentch special rule allowing the rerolls of one; the Psyleech venom cannon takes precedence, and still forces successful saves to be rerolled; in case of all failed saves being rerollable, such as through fortune, the two cancel out and the invulnerable save is resolved normally with no rerolls.  Invulnerable saves generated by the daemon special rule, psychic powers, chaos boons, a mark of chaos, an icon of chaos, an artifact of chaos, or a chaos reward are reduced by one, with 6++ invulnerable saves being removed.
