After revealing this equipment option, add four GELLERPOX INFECTED MUTOID VERMIN operatives to your kill team for the battle.

After revealing this equipment option, roll 2D6: on a 7+, remove one of your opponent’s selected equipment options; otherwise, that player removes one of their own selected equipment options. They cannot select that equipment again during the game sequence (e.g. in the Scouting step of Approved Ops). You cannot select this equipment option after the Select Operatives step.

Once per battle, when you activate a friendly GELLERPOX INFECTED operative, you can select one additional TECHNO-CURSE for that operative to gain until the end of the turning point (it must be different from your existing TECHNO-CURSE). Note that if a rule refers to an enemy operative being affected by your selected TECHNO-CURSE rule (e.g. VULGRAR THIRCE-CURSED operative''s Spread The Glorious Gifts rule), it is affected by your additional TECHNO-CURSE rule too.

Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly GELLERPOX INFECTED NIGHTMARE HULK operative that’s more than 6" from it, you can retain one of your defence dice results of 3 as a normal success instead of discarding it.

Before the battle, you can set up one of your Ammo Cache markers wholly within your territory. Friendly operatives can perform the following mission action during the battle: AMMO RESUPPLY (0 AP): One of your Ammo Cache markers the active operative controls is used during this turning point.

Until the start of the next turning point, whenever this operative is shooting with a weapon from its datacard, you can re-roll one of your attack dice.

An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, if that marker is not yours, or if that marker has been used this turning point.

Razor wire is Exposed and Obstructing terrain. Before the battle, you can set it up wholly within your territory, on the killzone floor and more than 2" from other equipment terrain features, access points, and Accessible terrain.

Obstructing: Whenever an operative would cross over this terrain feature within 1" of it, treat the distance as an additional 1".

Before the battle, you can set up one of your Comms Device markers wholly within your territory. While a friendly operative controls this marker, add 3" to the distance requirements of its SUPPORT rules that refer to friendly operatives (e.g. ‘select one friendly operative within 6"’ would be 9" instead). Note that you cannot benefit from your opponent's Comms Device markers.

Before the battle, you can set up one of your Mines markers wholly within your territory and more than 2" from other markers, access points, and Accessible terrain. The first time that marker is within an operative's control range, remove that marker and inflict D3+3 damage on that operative.

Light barricades are Light terrain, except the feet, which are Insignificant and Exposed. Before the battle, you can set up any of them wholly within your territory, on the killzone floor and more than 2" from other equipment terrain features, access points, and Accessible terrain.

A heavy barricade is Heavy terrain. Before the battle, you can set it up wholly within 4" of your drop zone, on the killzone floor and more than 2" from other equipment terrain features, access points, and Accessible terrain.

Ladders are Insignificant and Exposed terrain. Before the battle, you can set up any of them as follows:

• Wholly within your territory.
• Upright against terrain that’s at least 2" tall.
• More than 2" from other equipment terrain features.
• More than 1" from doors and access points.

Once per action, whenever an operative is climbing the terrain feature a ladder is placed against, treat the vertical distance as 1" if the ladder is within that operative’s control range during that entire climb.

A portable barricade is Light, Protective and Portable terrain, except the feet which are Insignificant and Exposed. Before the battle, you can set it up wholly within your territory, on the killzone floor and more than 2" from other equipment terrain features, access points, and Accessible terrain.

Protective: While an operative is in cover from this terrain feature, improve its Save stat by 1 (to a maximum of 2+).

Portable: This terrain feature only provides cover while an operative is connected to it and if the shield is intervening (ignore its feet). Operatives connected to the inside of it can perform the following unique action during the battle:

Move With Barricade (1 AP): The same as the Reposition action, except the active operative can move no more than its Move stat minus 2" and cannot climb, drop, jump, or use any killteam's rules that remove it and set it back up again (e.gh. HEARTHKYN SALVAGER Fly, MANDRAKE Shadow Passage).

Before this operative moves, remove the portable barricade it is connected to. After it moves, set up the portable barricade so it is connected again, but the portable barricade cannot be set up within 2" of other equipment terrain features, access points or Accessible terrain. If this is not possible, the portable barricade is not set up again.

This action is treated as a Reposition action. An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or in the same activation in which it performed the Fall Back or Charge action.

When you select this equipment, select two utility grenades (2 smoke, 2 stun, or 1 smoke and 1 stun). Each selection is a unique action your operatives can perform, but your kill team can only perform that action a total number of times during the battle equal to your selection.

SMOKE GRENADE (1 AP):

• Place one of your Smoke Grenade markers within 6" of this operative. It must be visible to this operative, or on Vantage terrain of a terrain feature that is visible to this operative. The marker creates an area of smoke 1" horizontally and unlimited height vertically from (but not below) it.
• While an operative is wholly within an area of smoke, it is obscured to operatives more than 2" from it, and vice versa. In addition, whenever an operative is shooting an enemy operative wholly within an area of smoke, weapons with the Piercing 2 or Piercing Crits 2 weapon rule have the Piercing 1 or Piercing Crits 1 weapon rule (respectively) instead, unless they’re within 2" of each other.
• In the Ready step of the next Strategy phase, roll one D3. Remove that Smoke Grenade marker after a number of activations equal to that D3 have been completed or at the end of the turning point (whichever comes first).
• An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or if you have reached the total number of times your kill team can perform it.

When you select this equipment, select two utility grenades (2 smoke, 2 stun, or 1 smoke and 1 stun). Each selection is a unique action your operatives can perform, but your kill team can only perform that action a total number of times during the battle equal to your selection.

STUN GRENADE (1 AP):

• Select one enemy operative visible to and within 6" of this operative. That operative and each other operative within 1" of it takes a stun test. For an operative to take a stun test, roll one D6: on a 3+, subtract 1 from its APL stat until the end of its next activation.
• An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or if you have reached the total number of times your kill team can perform it.

When you select this equipment, select two explosive grenades (2 frag, 2 krak, or 1 frag and 1 krak).

When you select this equipment, select two explosive grenades (2 frag, 2 krak, or 1 frag and 1 krak).

Once per battle, when a friendly operative performs the Breach action, you can use this rule. If you do, that operative can perform that action for 1 less AP (to a minimum of 1AP) as though it had the word "breach marker" on its datacard.

Whenever a friendly GELLERPOX INFECTED operative is fighting or retaliating, you can do one of the following:

• If you roll three or more fails, you can discard one of them to retain another as a normal success instead.
• If you roll three or more successes, you can discard one of your fails to retain one of your normal successes as a critical success instead.

Select one objective marker. Whenever a friendly GELLERPOX INFECTED operative performs the Reposition or Charge action during its activation, you can use this rule. If you do, add 1" to its Move stat until the end of that activation, but it must end that move within 2" of that objective marker.

Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly GELLERPOX INFECTED operative (excluding MUTOID VERMIN) that has an Engage order, you can re-roll one of your defence dice.

Whenever a friendly GELLERPOX INFECTED NIGHTMARE HULK operative is fighting, your opponent cannot retain results of 3 as successes.

Use this firefight ploy during a friendly GELLERPOX INFECTED NIGHTMARE HULK operative’s activation or counteraction, before or after it performs an action. During that activation/counteraction:

• It can move through enemy operatives and within control range of them.
• It can perform the Charge and Reposition actions while within control range of an enemy operative, and can leave that operative’s control range to do so (but then normal requirements for that move apply).

Use this firefight ploy after a friendly GELLERPOX INFECTED NIGHTMARE HULK operative performs the Fight action, if it is not incapacitated. It can immediately perform a free Fight action (you do not have to select the same enemy operative to fight against). This takes precedence over action restrictions.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly GELLERPOX INFECTED operative (excluding MUTOID VERMIN) is incapacitated, before it is removed from the killzone. Inflict 1 damage (or D3 damage instead if that friendly operative is a NIGHTMARE HULK) on each enemy operative visible to and within 2" of that friendly operative.

Use this firefight ploy when an enemy operative is shooting a friendly GELLERPOX INFECTED operative. That operative’s ranged weapons have the Hot weapon rule until the end of that sequence; if the weapon already has that weapon rule, when your opponent rolls one D6 for that weapon rule, you can add or subtract 1 from the result. Note that for the latter you can see the result of your opponent’s roll for the Hot weapon rule before deciding to use this ploy.

Hot: After using this weapon, roll 1D6. If the result is less than the weapon's HIT stat, inflict Damage on that operative equal to the result multiplied by 2. If it is used multiple times in one action (e.g. Blast), roll only 1D6.
