Temple Guard protect the Mage-Priests with their tough, scaled bodies and interlocking shields.
Should a friendly Slann Mage-Priest model that is within 3" of this unit suffer a hit during the Shooting phase, roll a D6. On a roll of 2+, you may choose to transfer that hit and all of its effects onto this unit. In addition, any model in a unit of Temple Guard that is within the Command range of a Slann Mage-Priest can issue and accept challenges in the same manner as a character.
