Clanblade Upgrades: When this operative is selected for the battle, select up to two different Clanblade Upgrade rules (see Faction Rules) to be added to its datacard for the battle.

Scaleshield: Whenever an operative is shooting this operative, and no attack dice are retained as critical successes, worsen the x of the Piercing weapon rule by 1 (if any). Note that Piercing 1 would therefore be ignored.

Moonsong Cull: The mythic weapons after which moonblades are named were said to sing louder with every soul thread they severed. Some Clanblades emulate this haunting dirge, surging from prey to prey with the screams and arterial sprays of their foes ever in their wake.

Once during each of this operative's activations, after it's performed the Sprint action forwards and incapacitated an enemy operative during the Fight action, if it's no longer within control range of enemy operatives, you can use this rule. If you do, it can immediately perform a free Sprint action forwards using any remaining move distance it had from that first Sprint action, but it cannot pivot during that free action. That operative can perform two Sprint actions during its activation to do so, and its SPEED is measured by the distance moved during both Sprint actions combined. The operative cannot have performed any other actions between those actions.

Speartip Of The Clan: It is the Clanblade's ritual role amongst their triad to lead the charge into their prey. The most storied exemplars hit their targets like a celestial lance, speed itself honed as much as any weapon in their arsenal.

Whenever this operative is fighting:

• If it has SPEED 4+, the first time you strike with a normal success during that sequence, inflict 1 additional damage.

• If it has SPEED 7+, add 1 to the Normal Dmg stat of melee weapons on its datacard.

Bladed Stance: Clanblades sharpen their martial skills by hunting some of the most dangerous dragons. These are creatures of such speed and strength that only those with reactions swift enough to blunt and deflect their first strike ever survive the encounter.

Whenever this operative is fighting or retaliating with its moonblades, you can resolve one of your successes before the normal order. If you do, that success must be used to block.

Spectral Nimbus: Those Clanblades fated to endure the deadliest trials master their control of the scaleshield's energies. They become skilled in imbuing their own psychic gifts through its haptic controls, projecting a warding nimbus of empyric energy that can cast aside what should be the most grievous of wounds.

Once per turning point, when this operative is fighting or retaliating, after your opponent rolls their attack dice, but before re-rolls, you can use this rule. If you do, your opponent cannot retain attack dice results of less than 6 as critical successes during that sequence (e.g. as a result of the Lethal, Rending or Severe weapon rules).

Focused Reflection: With preternatural reactions and expert tilts of their scaleshield, the Clanblade is capable of angling the refracted energy of an honourless foe's shots right back at them.

Whenever an enemy operative is shooting this operative while within 6" of it, if you allocate one or more critical successes to block your opponent's attack dice, you can use this rule. If you do, after the action, before incapacitated operatives are removed (including this one, if relevant), inflict 1 damage on that enemy operative for each critical success allocated this way.

*Aimed: This operative cannot use this weapon during an activation in which it moved more than 3", and it cannot move more than 3" during an activation in which it used this weapon. This weapon rule has no effect on preventing the Guard action.

Implacable Darkscale: You can ignore any changes to this operative's drakesteed fangs & talons weapon's Hit stat from being injured.

Leystalker Upgrades: When this operative is selected for the battle, select up to two different Leystalker Upgrade rules (see Faction Rules) to be added to its datacard for the battle.

Fated Shot: Some Leystalkers read hidden paths in a world's ley lines for more than themselves. They trace the route of a precision shot so that it lances through gusting fumes and lashing vegetation, whispering safely past allies and into the most vulnerable spot of a foe's defences.

Once per turning point, when this operative performs the Shoot action and you select a profile of its long rifle, you can use this rule. If you do, select one of the following rules for it to have until the end of that sequence:

• Enemy operatives cannot be obscured.

• Having other friendly EXODITE DRAGON MASTER operatives within an enemy operative's control range doesn't prevent that enemy operative from being selected as a valid target.

Nexus Sentinel: Where lines of power converge - whether the vivid leys of an Exodite world or the muted energies of natural flows - Leystalkers can access sensory perceptions of incredible breadth and acuity. Few enemies can approach such a site held by a Leystalker without detection.

Once per turning point, this operative can perform the Guard action during its activation regardless of the killzone if it has SPEED 3- (see close quarters rules, Kill Team Core Book).

Whenever this operative performs a point-blank shot as a result of the Guard action, don't worsen the Hit stat of its weapons as a result of performing a point-blank shot.

Nomad Executioner: Those who think to outmanoeuvre hunting groups of Dragon Masters are rapidly tracked down by the triads' exceptionally dexterous marksmen. Leystalkers unlimber, load, aim and fire their long rifles in single, graceful movements on the move, already seeking out their next target before the first victim falls.

Whenever this operative is performing the Sprint action, it can perform the Shoot action during that action (it must do so in a location it can be placed, and any remaining move distance it had from that Sprint action can be used after it does so). Note that as the Shoot action occurs before the Sprint action ends, for that Shoot action, this operative's SPEED is whatever it had before beginning the Sprint action.

Elusive Phantasm: Leystalkers are constantly on the move. They scout the triad's hunting ground, seek the foe's position and test their strengths, all while slipping through the enemy's clutches again and again. Their skills have led a number of the Exodites' foes to believe them some kind of insubstantial spirit. While the enemy's paranoia grows, a Leystalker is already drawing a bead on them from yet another unexpected angle.

At the end of each Firefight phase, if this operative isn't within control range of enemy operatives, it can perform a free Sprint or Turn action, but it cannot move more than 3" during that action and its SPEED remains the same. Note that it must still have the necessary amount of movement allowance remaining this turning point.

Gloaming Mantle: Masters of merging with their environment and invoking the cloaking energies of hidden ley lines, Leystalkers can fade from the scrutiny of those attempting to hunt them as if mantling themselves in a supernatural gloaming.

Whenever an operative is shooting this operative from more than 8" away, if you cannot retain any cover saves, you can retain one of your defence dice as a normal success without rolling it; if you can retain any cover saves, you can retain one cover save as a critical success instead.

Song Of Renewal (1AP): PSYCHIC. Select one friendly EXODITE DRAGON MASTER operative visible to this operative. That operative regains up to 2D3 lost wounds.

PSYCHIC. Alternatively, each friendly EXODITE DRAGON MASTER operative can regain up to D3 lost wounds.

This operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or more than once per turning point.

Stonesinger Upgrades: When this operative is selected for the battle, select up to two different Stonesinger Upgrade rules (see Faction Rules) to be added to its datacard for the battle.

Wails Of The World: A keening lament emitted by a Stonesinger signals their abhorrence of the foe. It rises in a reverberating wail until the air around the enemy and the ground beneath them shudder. Those without the agility to retain their footing risk being claimed by sudden crevasses, struck by tumbling rocks or mired in viscous flows of formerly solid matter.

WAILS OF THE WORLD (1AP). PSYCHIC. Select one enemy operative visible to this operative. Subtract 2" from the Move stat of that operative and each other enemy operative within 2" of it until the end of their next activations respectively (this isn't cumulative with being injured). MOUNTED operatives are unaffected.

Roll 2D3 separately for each of those operatives: inflict damage on that operative equal to the difference between the result and their new Move stat (this takes precedence over stats not changing during an action). MOUNTED operatives are unaffected.

This operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or more than once per turning point.

Cleansing Of The Pale Moon: The Stonesinger weaves a psychic skirl of purification. Toxins are purged and anguish is soothed as the long-lost Maiden Moon is invoked.

CLEANSING OF THE PALE MOON (1AP). PSYCHIC. Select one friendly EXODITE DRAGON MASTER operative visible to this operative. Remove one rules effect or stat change your opponent has applied to it (e.g. Poison token, -1APL, cannot be activated or perform actions, etc.) This cannot allow it to regain lost wounds, remove mission pack rules or ignore the effects of being injured.

This operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative. Note that unlike this operative's other unique action upgrades, it can perform this action more than once per turning point.

Sow The Seeds: Quickening the slow rhythms of plant life, unnaturally motile vines and roots burst forth, marking sites as under the Stonesinger's dominance.

Once per turning point, during this operative's activation, before or after it performs an action, you can use this rule. If you do, select one objective marker it controls. Until this operative is incapacitated, until you use this rule again or until an enemy operative controls that marker (whichever comes first), this operative is treated as contesting that marker with an APL of 1 and controlling it for the purposes of mission actions and victory conditions (even if it's not within this operative's control range). Note that this could allow this operative to perform a mission action that would require it to control that marker.

Wind's Grace: With swirling zephyrs, the psyker blurs their allies' forms to shield them.

WIND'S GRACE (1AP). PSYCHIC. Select one friendly EXODITE DRAGON MASTER operative visible to this operative. Until the start of this operative's first activation in the next turning point, until it's incapacitated or until it performs this action again (whichever comes first), that selected operative's SPEED is one higher (i.e. if it would have SPEED 3-, it has SPEED 4+; if it would have SPEED 4+, it has SPEED 7+).

This operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or more than once per turning point.

Earthen Wrath: A Stonesinger's eldritch gesture can command eruptions of rocky shards or liquefy once solid ground to engulf the foe.

This operative has the following ranged weapon:

*Earthen Wrath: If the target is in cover, this weapon has the Lethal 5+ weapon rule.

Beast: This operative cannot perform any actions other than Charge, Dash, Fall Back, Fight, Guard, Pick Up Marker, Place Marker, Reposition and mission actions. This operative cannot perform the Pick Up Marker, Place Marker or mission actions unless there's a friendly LEYSTALKER operative that isn't incapacitated. It cannot use any weapons that aren't on its datacard.

Preternatural Evasion: Whenever this operative performs the Charge, Fall Back or Reposition action, if it ends that action more than 2" from its previous location, it has SPEED 4+; if it ends more than 5" from its previous location, it has SPEED 7+ instead. Whenever this operative ends its activation, if it didn't gain SPEED 4+ or SPEED 7+ during that activation, it has SPEED 3-. Note that it's the distance from the previous location, not the distance moved (in other words it cannot just circle back to its previous location and gain high SPEED).
