Explanation:
Battlefield Engineering: Before the start of the game, for each engineer model in your army, you may place a large blast marker representing a minefield onto the battlefield. This area is dangerous terrain for the rest of the game.
Bolster Defences: Engineers can increase the effectiveness of cover, reinforcing crumbling walls and re-welding badly damaged spars. Each Engineer Squad can bolster a single ruin before the game begins. When you deploy, nominate one ruin in your deployment area for your Engineers to bolster. The ruin’s cover save is increased by one for the duration of the game. A ruin can only be bolstered once.

MENTAL FORTRESS
This power is used at the beginning of any Squat turn. Once used successfully, this power remains in effect for the rest of the
game, even if the Ancestor uses another psychic power. Any psychic power taking effect within 12” of the Ancestor is nullified
on a roll of 4+. If two opposing Ancestors have this power in action and the areas of effect overlap, both powers end immediately. The Mental Fortress does not nullify powers that are always active, such as some Warlock powers and Tyranid Psychic powers.
FORCE DOME
The Ancestor creates an impenetrable barrier of psychic energy around himself. This power is used in the Shooting phase instead of firing a weapon (although the Ancestor’s bike rider may still fire his twin-linked bolters). Place a spare Large blast marker centred on the Ancestor. Any model completely within the dome receives a 3+ Invulnerable save against Shooting. Any model trying to move or assault into the dome must take a Difficult terrain test. Models that are only partially within the dome are pushed outside when the barrier is created. The dome counts as impassable terrain for the purposes of Deep Striking into it. The dome persists as long as the Ancestor remains stationary.
HAMMER OF FURY
Used in the Shooting phase instead of firing a weapon (although the Ancestor’s bike rider may still fire his twin-linked bolters), the Ancestor summons the wrath of the Ancestors and focuses it in a blast of pure energy. This power is treated as a ranged weapon that hits automatically and has the following profile: Range: 18” Strength: 5 AP: – Type: Assault 1,Blast.
DOMINATION
This power is used in the Shooting phase instead of firing a weapon (although the Ancestor’s bike rider may still fire his twin-linked bolters). Choose a target within 12” and within Line of Sight of the Ancestor. The target may not be Locked in close combat. Both the Ancestor and the target unit roll 1D6 and add their Ld to the roll. If the Ancestor rolls higher, he may compel the target unit to move up to its maximum normal move in a direction of his choice (but he may not force the unit to move off the table, and the unit may not make an assault), or shoot at a unit of the Ancestor’s choice.
Master Craftsman: The weapons of all models in an Honor Guard attached to Grimblad count as Masterwork weapons.
Master Strategist: Wulfgar adds +1 to all reserve rolls.
Tunnel Fighting: When you choose Thorson as an HQ choice, all infantry models in your army gain the Counterattack universal special rule. They keep this rule even if Thorson is slain.
