The Night Lords Nemesis Claw brings 6 elite operatives to the killzone! These Heretic Astartes are versatile killers - each can perform two SHOOT or two FIGHT actions per activation. With 3+ saves and 14-15 wounds, they're tough to put down. Their 'In Midnight Clad' rule makes them masters of terrain, staying obscured beyond 8". Charge in with 'We Have Come for You' to inflict D3 damage, or hunt wounded foes with re-rolls via 'The Black Hunt'. Whether you prefer brutal melee with power fists and lightning claws or devastating shooting with plasma guns and heavy bolters, these terror troops excel at both!
