I have been playing around with Infesters this weekend. Tweaking The Summoner, The Mothroc and their minions. The Hivelords are powerful Infesters created through the merging of many damaged code threads.
Circuit Virus is a new Super Ability –
Circuit virus costs 2 energy points and 1 activation to perform. Once activated the model gets 1 shield dice worth of zombie bots to place on the table up to 15” from the model activating this super ability. They may not be placed in base-to-base contact with an enemy model. If the model that created the zombie bots is destroyed, all the zombie bots created by that model are also destroyed.
Zombie bots may not claim objectives. No victory points are awarded for destroying zombie bots. Zombie bots do not require energy and instead receive 2 free activations per turn. Zombie bots are slow moving and can therefore only choose a single move activation per turn. They also receive no close attack bonuses and their attacks and shields cannot be power boosted by any means.
