4 attacks, Knife always wounds on a 2 against infantry (no ap).

You can set him up for deep strike, and when he comes in, pick 1 of 3 options:

  • Shoot a unit, ignoring the Character rule until the next turn, rule calls out he specifically shoots when he arrives, and can then shoot again during the actual shooting phase.
  • Stalk with Knife, roll a d6 and move that many inches, and gain +2 attacks until the start of the next movement phase.
  • Concealed explosives, pick a unit, roll a d6, add 1 if unit has more than 10 models, -1 if it is a character. On 4+ d3 mortal wounds, 7+ d6 mortal wounds.

Fighting a Shadow: 1 / battle, at the beginning of your movement phase, if no enemy within 6 inches, Marbo goes back into deep strike, and can be redeployed the next turn. Procing his “show up” ability again.

Gains 2+ to his armor save rather than 1+ when Marbo is in cover.
