Distrust - Sindryl's unit's Ld may never rise above Sindryl's Ld, and does not benefit from Morale- or Leadership-based bonuses or abilities from other characters in your army. Sindryl may not join a unit that contains another independent character other than Haemonculi (they're creepy, make no mistake, but tend to not be as ambitious as their Kaballite cousins, and are thus less of a threat). If Sindryl is your Warlord, she has +1Ld.

Lost Eye - Sindryl's ranged attacks may never be Precision Shots.

Contingencies - After a betrayal by a rival who tried to kill her by sabotaging her personal Venom, costing her an arm and an eye, Sindryl is never too careful. Her unit receives a 2+ save against wounds caused by their transport's destruction, and are never Pinned from such. If her transport is destroyed while she is embarked, her unit gains Stealth and Shrouded until the end of the turn as an emergency cloaking device activates.

Finding the Weakness - If Sindryl has a Pain Token, she rerolls Wounds for any of her Poisoned weapons. If she has 3 or more Pain Tokens, this extends to her entire unit.

Unleash Suffering - Once per game, after her unit targets its shooting but before rolling to hit, Sindryl may make a Ld check; if successful, all Splinter weapons in the unit fire an additional shot this turn. May not be used during Overwatch.


Lamia's Caress
S as user, AP-, Melee, Poisoned (4+), Vascular Explosion, Lash Tendril
Vascular Explosion - At the end of any round of combat in which Sindryl killed at least one enemy model, before combat results, choose one of the units she killed models in this turn. That unit suffers an additional number of hits equal to the Toughness of one of the slain models (as larger targets explode more), and a Strength equal to the armor save of the slain model, or 6 in the case of a model with no armor (as thicker armor constrains the explosion). Yeah, that's nasty poison. These wounds do not count for combat resolution. This ability functions even within a challenge if Sindryl killed her opponent in the challenge, allowing the explosion wounds to spill over into the rest of the unit.
Lash Tendil - In a challenge, Sindryl may reroll misses against opponents with both lower WS -and- I than her, and such opponents must reroll hits against her. Does not function outside of a challenge, only able to focus on and bind a single opponent.

Thorncaster
24", S-, AP5, Assault 2, Poisoned (4+), Spray of Thorns
Spray of Thorns - Sindryl always has a backup plan. When things get a little too close for comfort, may be fired as a Template weapon during Overwatch. Once per game only, but inflicts d3+2 hits.
Thorncaster benefits from Splinter Racks as if a Splinter Rifle (when firing with normal profile, not using Spray of Thorns).
