Living Ancestors are Squats of great age and powerful
psychic ability.
Wargear: The Living Ancestor is
allowed equipment from the Armoury.
| SPECIAL RULES Independent Character: Unless accompanied by a retinue
(see below), the Living Ancestor is an independent character and follows all the rules for
characters given in the Warhammer 40,000 (3rd edition) rules.
Old and Slow...: The Living Ancestor
is an ancient Squat, one who is getting old and nearing the end of his life. He can
only move 3" in the movement or assault phase.
Psychic Powers: Ancestor Lords have a
variety of powers they may have, depending on their ancestral line. Roll a D6 and
consult the following chart to see which power the Living Ancestor gets:
- Aura of Resistance - The Living Ancestor gains a 4+ save
against any psychic attacks.
- Jinx - One enemy model within 24" of the Living Ancestor
is jinxed for a turn, and suffers a -1 penalty to one roll dictated by the Squat player.
- Smash - The Living Ancestor smashes his foe with the stength
of his mind. This counts as a shooting attack with a range of 24", causing a S6
hit with an AP2.
- Cure Wounds - The Living Ancestor uses his power to heal the
wounds of another. One Squat within 18" regains one lost Wound. This may
even be used on a Squat that was removed in the last turn as a casualty.
- Stasis - The Living Ancestor uses his mind to create a psychic
stasis field around an enemy model (but not a vehicle) within 24". The enemy
model may do nothing while the Living Ancestor is still alive, and cannot be assaulted or
hurt by any weapons fire. The Living Ancestor may remove the stasis field at any
time. Note that this does not count as killing the enemy model for game purposes, so
no VPs are awarded if the model is still alive at the end of the game.
- Strength of Mind - The Living Ancestor fortifies the minds of
a nearby squad of Squat Troopers. One Squat squad within 24" of the Living
Ancestor is allowed to reroll all of its Ld tests for the following turn.
