'''WARGEAR:''' 
*'''Grasping Tail:''' At the beginning of the fight subphase, before any blows are struck, the Malanthrope may issue a challenge even though it does not have the character type. Roll a D6. On a result of 4+ the enemy model nominated to fight the Malanthrope in enveloped in the beasts grasping tail and has its attacks reduced by half (rounded down), initiative reduced to one for the duration of the challenge and may not refuse the challenge. If the result is 3 or less then it counts as if a challenge wasn't issued at all. In an enemy character declares a Glorious Intervention to replace the model fighting the Malanthrope then all effects of this rule are negated and the intervening character suffers no penalties.

*'''Shadow in the Warp'''
*'''Synapse Creature'''
*'''Very Bulky'''
*'''Psychic Brood:''' If a brood of Zoanthropes manifests the Warp Blast psychic power it is cast once for each model in the unit. The Zoanthrope Brood's Mastery level is always equal to the amount of models left in the unit + 1. Whenever a Zoanthrope is killed choose a psychic power known to the Zoanthropes. The Zoanthropes lose that psychic power until the end of the game. Zoanthropes cant forget Warp Blast psychic power.
*'''Warp Field:''' Models with this special rule have a 3+ invulnerable save. 

'''PSYKER:''' 

Zoanthrope Broods know the ''warp blast'' psychic power from the '''powers of the hive mind''' discipline. As long as the Brood includes a Neurothrope the Brood also knows the ''Spirit Leech'' power.
:Warp Charge 1
:''Spirit Leech'' is a witchfire power with a range of 18" that automatically hits. Roll 3D6 and subtract the target’s Leadership – the target unit suffers a number of Wounds equal to the result. Armour and cover saves cannot be taken against Wounds caused by ''Spirit Leech''. Add 1 dice to your Warp Charge pool for each wound caused by ''Spirit Leech''. These additional dice can only be used by the unit that manifested the ''Spirit Leech'' power and can only be used to manifest the ''Warp Blast'' power.
