Terror From the Deep : if the Mawloc deep strikes into an
enemy model, do not roll on the mishap table. Instead,
place a Large Blast Marker at the point where the
Mawloc is entering play. Each model under the
template takes a S6 Ap2 hit. Vehicles are hit on rear
armor. Surviving models are moved the minimum
distance to the side of the template while retaining
coherency. Units that were locked in combat must try
to stay in B2B with enemy models, if not possible,
place at least 1" apart. Any models that cannot be
moved off the template are destroyed. Vehicles (even
if immobillized) retain orientation when moved. After
everything has been moved, replace the template with the Mawloc
