Tacticus The Patermine – Genestealer Patriarch

Tacticus The Patermine

Psychic abomination; alpha predator; parasitic demigod – the Patriarch is all of these things and worse. Prowling the shadows of embattled worlds, they are the source of the bio corruption that spawns each Genestealer Cult cell.

Tacticus The Patermine Abilities

Might From Below

Deals 5x X Psychic Damage to an adjacent enemy, then summons a Purestrain Genestealer on each decoy adjacent to the Patermine. The Purestrain Genestealers can immediately attack in melee, but cannot move this turn.

Cosmic Horror

Whenever the Patermine defeats an enemy, it places a decoy on the hex of that enemy. Other enemies surrounding the defeated unit have a X% chance to be Suppressed for 1 round, and have a X% chance to trigger Battle Fatigue a second time, if they have it. When the Patermine moves onto a decoy, it heals itself for Y Health.

Tacticus The Patermine Traits

Infiltrate

This unit does not trigger Overwatch

Synapse

Friendly units within 2 hexes ignore the effects of Instinctive Behaviour and Battle Fatigue.

Terrifying

Takes -30% Damage from Melee attacks.

Unstoppable

This unit does not have to stop on Hex effects like Fire, Razor Wire, Broken Ice and others that would normally force a unit to end their Movement.

How To Use The Patermine

Combo With Decoys

Another summoner unit, the Patermine can use its active ability to spawn a Purestrain Genestealer to add more chaos to the fight. It’s also worth noting that the active ability can damage quite a lot given that the damage is Psychic in nature.
