SPECIAL RULES

Tunneler:  The Termite tunnels through the ground and bursts up into the middle of an opposing army's battle line.  Because of this special ability, the Termite may Deep Strike in any mission, even those where the Deep Strike ability is not allowed.

Immobile:  The Termite is built for tunneling underground, not moving above ground.  It counts as Immobile unless you purchase Termite Maneuvering Thrusters.

TRANSPORTING TROOPS

Certain units in the Squat army may have a Rhino or Termite to transport them. Adding a Rhino or Immolator to a squad does not count as part of the squad and does not use up any of your choices on the Force Organisation chart.
