• If the target is a non-Hero non-Monster unit, 1 model in the target unit is slain.

Effect: For each enemy unit that was in combat with this unit this turn and was destroyed this turn, this unit gains D3 leech points for the rest of the battle. Until the end of the next turn, add 1 to this unit's Control characteristic for each leech point it currently has.
Declare: Pick a visible enemy unit within 18" of this unit to be the target, then make a casting roll of 2D6.
Effect: This unit gains 1 leech point for the rest of the battle. Until the start of your next turn, each time the target uses a Core ability or command, after that ability has been resolved, roll a dice. On a 3+, inflict 1 mortal damage on the target. Then, if any damage points were allocated to the target by this ability, Heal (1) this unit.
