psychic powers

Dominion

Action half

opposed no

range special

sustained yes

Description: The Tyranid creature reaches into the depths of the Hive Mind and strengthens its links to the indomitable alien will, projecting a blanket of control and purpose through its Brood Telepathy to all Tyranid bio-forms nearby. While this power is in effect, the Tyranid creature’s Brood Telepathy range is doubled. In addition, the hardened resolve of the Hive Mind gives both the creature and all other creatures with the Tyranid Trait affected by the power +10 to all Willpower test for its duration.

Hypnotic gaze

action half

opposed yes

range 10m

sustained yes

Description: The Broodlord can use its powerful gaze to snare the mind of a nearby warrior, holding it

immobile and helpless as long as its stare remains unbroken. The Broodlord can affect a single enemy

with this power, provided it can make eye contact with its intended target. If the target succumbs to the

power, it is then held immobile (counts as being Helpless) until it can break free by winning an

Opposed Willpower Test at the start of any of its turns, or the Broodlord’s gaze is somehow broken.

Onslaught

action half

opposed no

range 25M x PR

Sustained Yes

Description : The Tyranid creature infuses a nearby brood with burning energy and the pitiless drive of the Hive Mind to devour all in its path. The creature chooses a single Tyranid within it's Brood Telepathy Range, allowing it to either make a Full Move, Standard Attack (Ranged or Melee), or Charge Action as a Free Action once per Round. The Tyranid continues to benefit from the effects of this power as long as the creature sustains it and they remain in range

Mining/Industrial armor

Developed with the minimal requirements to extend the lives of Imperial mining, and high hazard workers for as long as possible without making major investments into the workers comfort or protection. Imperial Industrial armor is developed to be easily modified with local technology and resources as well as to be applicable to nearly any working situation, this does of course lead the armor to be highly valuable to various non-standard militas as they can acquire wargear that is just under the standard for most imperial military forces.
