Each time this unit is affected by a
spell or the
abilities of an
endless spell, you can roll a dice. On a 5+, ignore the effect of that spell or the effects of that endless spells abilities on this unit.
Gory Offering: As a Melusai Ironscale holds the crystallised heart of a slain foe aloft, the power of Khaine pulses through it, empowering any fellow Melusai nearby.
If any enemy models are slain by wounds caused by this unit’s attacks in the
combat phase, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of friendly
MELUSAI units wholly within 12" of this unit until the end of that phase.
Turned to Crystal: The scáth touch of an Ironscale can permanently transmute an enemy into an immobile - though still fully conscious - crystal statue.
At the end of the

mortal wound.
Wrath of the Scáthborn: With a shrieked prayer to Khaine and Morathi, an Ironscale leads her Melusai kin in the swift slaughter of the foe.
You can use this
command ability in your
charge phase if this unit is part of your army and on the battlefield. The command can only be issued by this unit, and the unit that receives the command must be a friendly
MELUSAI unit. That unit can
attempt a charge even if it ran in the same turn.
