Ordnance: The Macharius my fire its ordnance and still fire other weapons. It may fire ordnance
even if it moves.

Targeting: Instead of picking one target, pick a target for each of the Macharius’ weapons.
Both the battle cannons must fire at the same target.

Tank Shock: Enemy infantry must test at -1 to their leadership if they are tank shocked by a
Macharius.

Lumbering vehicle: The Macharius can move 6” a turn. It must move straight ahead, but can pivot
by up to 90 degrees at end of the move.

Difficult Terrain: The Macharius can ignore low walls, hedges, bushes and rubble. Going through
other difficult terrain it tests as normal. However, if it rolls a 1 it is not automatically
immobilised, instead it lose D3” of movement, just as if it had suffered an engine damage
result on the damage table.
