Tacticus Darkstrider – Sub-Commander

Tacticus Darkstrider

As much a maverick as he is a master of covert operations, Darkstrider is a formidable leader of stealth and sabotage missions. Despite often not following protocol, his expertise in guerilla warfare renders him an invaluable asset for the T’au.

Tacticus Darkstrider Abilities

Fighting Retreat

Adjacent enemies gain Markerlight. They also have 1 fewer Hits and deal -X Damage for one round. Darkstrider and adjacent allied units ignore their Close Combat Weakness trait for ranged attacks until the end of this turn. If Darkstrider is adjacent to an enemy, he can immediately take another turn after using this ability.

Structural Analyser

Units hit by ranged attacks from Darkstrider gain Markerlight for one round. Allied units adjacent to Darkstrider deal +X Damage with ranged attacks against targets with a Markerlight.
