Move: Each turn Lieutenant Varras may move up to 6" in any direction in the Ultramarines’ turn. Varras may move over wreckage if he wishes. To do so, the Ultramarines player rolls 2D6 and moves Varras up to the number of inches rolled on the highest D6 result.

Bolt Pistol: Varras can shoot his bolt pistol at one Termagant or Spore Mine per turn. If Varras does not move, he may shoot twice instead of once. However, both shots must be at the same target. Varras hits on a roll of 4+ and wounds Termagants on a score of 3+. Bolt rounds are too powerful for the armour plates of a Termagant to protect against.

However, if the Termagant is touching wreckage, it may save itself on the roll of a 5+ to represent it ducking into safety with the wreckage deflecting the shot. Spore Mines are affected by shooting as described in Mission 1.

Spore Mines: The Spore Mines in this scenario work as described in Mission 6. The Tyranid player may use Acid, Poison, or Exploding Spore Mines as determined by their models.

Move: Every Tyranid turn, each spore mine moves D6". Roll the Scatter dice to see which direction the mine moves in. If the dice rolls a "HIT," the Tyranid player can move the mine in any direction. If a spore mine is shot or moves into base-to-base contact with Varras at any point during its movement, it detonates.

Assault: Termagants that end their move within 6" Varras may assault. They may do this even if they fired their fleshborers. They follow all the Genestealer rules for moving into base contact from Mission 3, and Termagants gain 1 extra attack on the turn they charge into assault. The Termagants will strike first, needing 4+ to hit and 4+ to wound. Varras may take armour saves as described in Mission 4. If he survives, Varras may strike back with 1 attack that hits on a 4+ and wounds on a 4+. If there is a combat left from the Ultramarines’ turn, fight again in the Tyranid turn. Once in close combat with the Ultramarines, the Termagants may not move away until all enemy models in the unit are dead.

Fleshborers: Termagants carry deadly fleshborers, lethal weapons that spit live ammunition at their victims. Termagants can fire once each up to 12", even if they move. Due to the way they work, fleshborers do not get extra shots if the Termagant remains stationary. Termagants hit Varras with their fleshborers on a 4+, and they wound him on a 3+. Varras will be saved from any wounds inflicted by fleshborers on a roll of 5+.

Fleet of Claw: Instead of firing its fleshborer, a Termagant may make a special move if it wishes. Simply roll a D6 instead of shooting. The result is the number of inches the model may move, representing it scurrying across the ground as fast as possible. Termagants may even use Fleet of Claw to move across wreckage without any additional penalty.
