Rule: From the Grave

Effect: When a character or independant character is removed as a casualty, they make a leadership test. If failed nothing further happens. If passed, the character or independant character may make a single shooting attack resolved as a snapshot against the unit that caused them to be removed. If they were killed in melee they may instead make a single melee attack that would only hit on a D6 roll of 1

I thought this could be a neat cinematic bit that could create some real interesting moments thats not really OP any thoughts?

The 5e White Dwarf Codex for Sisters of Battle gave Repentia the power to strike back with full normal attacks if they're removed at an earlier Initiative step in the Fight sub-phase and get removed after the Fight sub-phase; I think this might be a reasonable thing to put on some characters.

No, the Repentia rule only gave them a single attack if they died, same as the older Catalyst tyranid power.

It's a good thing for a special ability, but it shouldn't be a general rule.

I like it as a general rule for characters because it makes worthless characters (looking at you SM tac sgt) seem a little more cinematic without giving them any real buff

Finally that 25 point powerfist on my sgt has 1 chance to save the day before I facepalm in shame.
