::Use this Stratagem when a friendly {{W40Kkeyword|Kroot}} unit kills the last model of an enemy unit during the Fight phase. Depending on the faction keyword of that unit, randomly select one effect from the relative list, the effect immediately takes place and lasts until the end of the game. If a {{W40Kkeyword|Kroot Shaper}} is within 6" of that unit, do not roll a die, simply choose the desired effect and apply it to both units. If playing a Crusade campaign, these effects remain between games until the unit is completely destroyed or replaced.
