____________________________________

Roles:
The Deathleaper is a slippery hero with strong surprise attacks but low hp pool and armor.

It can be used as a slippery backline scout/harassed ambushing units on their way to the frontlines.
A research gatherer, feeding off kills either on the frontline or behind enemy lines.
Has a strong debuff that will strike fear into all but the toughest of enemies, but with a long cooldown.

Bio:
The Deathleaper is a unique Lictor created by Hive Fleet Leviathan as the ultimate Tyranid weapon of terror. Its goal is to undermine the enemy's morale, spread anxiety and confusion, and break the enemy's will to oppose the Tyranid swarm.

____________________________________

Exact Abilities:
++++++++++++++++++++++
1st: HIDDEN HUNTER

+1/2/3 Vision
+35%/70%/100% Morale

foes that might be hiding or fleeing before the swarm"

++++++++++++++++++++++
2nd: MIND EATER

"Feeder tendrils drain the victim’s skull, siphoning vital knowledge and memories with every scrap
of brain matter."

++++++++++++++++++++++
3rd: SURPRISE AMBUSH

+3/6/9 accuracy on overwatch
+3/6/9 armour pierce on overwatch


"A natural predator, the Lictor is patient and stealthy and can move past even the most alert foes,

++++++++++++++++++++++
Elite: ITS AFTER ME!

10 turn cooldown.
3 turn debuff on enemy of -50% accuracy and -12 morale.


"It's there, I know it is, lurking in the shadows, stalking me like an animal. It's death itself I tell you,
just watching me, waiting… Oh blessed Emperor, why won't it just kill me?"
— The ravings of Cardinal Salem

hi i am looking for someone to help/teach me to make a mod for Mechanicus.
would you be willing to help seeing you already made a great and good working mod.

@GreyGhost14 On purpose, hence the hidden hunter ability. Deathleapers arnt synaptic in lore.

Have been meaning to come back and rework this hero though, change it to be more of a "No morale loss if stationary for 1+ turn" or something to reflect the lore more accurately. Maybe a 'teleport to a visible tree tile, and gain increased damage, sight, ranged resistance, and no morale loss while stationery on that tile" to reflect how the the deploy and charge rerolls of the tabletop variant.

my deathleaper is a hero but he doesnt have synapse link, could you give him one as his a hero or was that on purpose?

Very thematic and cool, my fav Tyranid too! (If only they would give us a plastic model for tabletop)
