Lictors

Lictors may have the Ambush special ability instead of Infiltration
(cost and stats unchanged).
Ambush - Units with this skill may be placed after all other units
anywhere on the battlefield as long as they are deployed in any
terrain that provides at least a -1 Cover modifier or simply out of
sight of the enemy. Ambushing units may not be set up closer than 5cm
to any enemy unit or in the enemy player's deploy zone.

One problem arised in my last games was the difference between the
old Carnifex mini (knight-sized), and the newer one (walker-sized).
The best solution is to simply create two new units replacing the
older one... with similar stats (one is clearly bigger than the
other, though). The same problem arises with the Hive Tyrant... maybe
the new ones (walker-sized) could be addressed as Tyrant Guards, but
they can't guard anything, since are of a different class and
wouldn't impede the targeting of the HT. Anyway, here's the two new
units...
