Basic Rules
Fleet of Claw: All Gaunt species are exceedingly fast on their claws. To represent this all Gaunts benefit from being fleet of claw (or fleet of wing if winged), so Gaunt models may move an extra D6" in the Shooting phase if they don't shoot. This movement is unaffected by difficult ground.

Notes: A maximum of one biomorph may be chosen for each characteristic (Move, Weapon skill, etc). Any number of biomorph enhancements may be chosen subject to the maximum total number of biomorphs. One bio-weapon must be chosen. Bio-weapons costs are shown separately for S3/S4 Gaunts. All creatures in the same brood must have the same bio-weapons and biomorphs. Winged broods count as Fast Attack choices and gain the ability to use the Deep Strike scenario special rules.
