Veil of Shadows Remains in Play. Uses the large template. Once the template is placed, the player then nominates the direction in which the Veil of Shadows will move.

Any model touched by the template takes a S 3 hit, and the unit will count as being Disrupted for the remainder of the turn.

The template moves the number of inches equal to the result of the D6, in the direction shown on the scatter dice (if you roll a Hit!, use the little arrow shown on the Hit! symbol). In either event, in subsequent turns, the Veil of Shadows travels in a random direction and moves a number of inches equal to the roll on an artillery dice. If a misfire is rolled in subsequent turns, the Veil of Shadows is removed.
