The Quickening

Targets a hex within movement range 2 that is neither occupied by an enemy nor by a friendly unit in Deep Strike. Mephiston moves onto that hex. If a friendly unit is on that hex, that unit moves to Mephiston's previous location. All Blood Angels moving this way perform a normal melee attack after they move, dealing 120% of their own damage to a maximum of 6526 Damage. Units moving this way do not trigger Overwatch or other movement related reactions.

passive ability

Fury of the Ancients

After moving, deals 2x 784-1044 Psychic Damage to an adjacent enemy and an additional enemy adjacent to the initial one. For 2 rounds, affected units cannot be revived, healed, repaired, nor otherwise restore Health. If Mephiston does not move, this ability triggers at the end of his turn.

Relics

Mythic relic

Vitarus

The hexes of each enemy hit by Mephiston's normal melee attack or by Fury of the Ancients are set on Fire. If these attacks hit enemies on hexes with Fire, they deal +728 Damage and extinguish the Fire.
