Detachment Rule
Xeno-Terror
To be trapped within the hull of a voidship with swarming Tyranids, subjected to the focused horror of the Shadow in the Warp that wreathes them, is more than some can stand.
When you unleash the Shadow in the Warp, subtract 1 from the Battle-shock test each enemy unit on the battlefield must take as a result. For each enemy unit that fails one of those tests, that enemy unit cannot Fire Overwatch this turn.
