Movements cost AP, but due to their agility, they can turn around for free.
Genestealer Player can bring more units on the battlefield by converting one Card per Turn. Each Genestealer Card has 2 Blips values on its right top.
Each Blip contain an amount of Genestealers hidden inside of it. The values are between «0» (lure) and «3». A lure Blip of «0» will disappear after a short time (Alpha Closed test: 1 turn).
