Improve the Save Stat of your friendly LEADER operative by 1.

Once per turning point, when a friendly ASTRA MILITARUM operative (excluding OGRYN) is activated, if it’s not within control range of enemy operatives, you can use this rule. If you do, for the rest of this turning point normal Dmg of 3+ inflicts 1 less damage on that friendly operative.

If you use this on the same operative twice worsen the Hit stat of that operative’s weapons by 1 for the rest of the battle due to being drunk.

Once per turning point, a friendly SERGEANT or friendly KOMISARZ operative can perform the following unique action:

SAINT NADALYA'S BENEDICTION (1AP): For the rest of this turning point whenever a friendly ASTRA MILITARUM operative is within 3" of this operative, that friendly operative's weapons have the Severe weapon rule.

Severe: If you do not retain any critical successes, you can change one of your normal successes to a critical success. Any rules that take effect as a result of retaining a critical success (e.g. Devastating, Piercing Crits, etc.) still do.

This operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative.

Once per battle, when a friendly VOSTROYAN FIRSTBORN operative is fighting or retaliating, use this equipment. Until that enemy operative is no longer within this operative’s control range, worsen the Hit stat of that enemy operative’s weapons by 1 (this isn’t cumulative with being injured); in addition, that enemy operative cannot perform the Fall Back action.

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.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly ASTRA MILITARUM operative (excluding LEADER) within 6" of a friendly SERGEANT or friendly STANDARD BEARER operative is shooting, fighting or retaliating, for this Roll Attack Dice Step you get a free Machine Point that must be spent in this shoot action or is lost.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly ELECTRO-PRIEST operative is activated, roll a D6 for each Visible enemy operative within 6" of this operative. On a roll of 6 the enemy suffers D3 damage.

You can spend 1 Machine point to turn a failed dice roll to a success (you can only spend 1 Machine point).

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly VOSTROYAN FIRSTBORN operative (excluding SERVITOR) is retaliating, if it wasn’t within control range of enemy operatives at the start of the current turning point. You can shoot one of its ranged weapons as a melee weapon attack (excluding a weapon that has the word ‘grenade’ in its name) during that sequence. If you do, you cannot parry during that sequence, and the following weapon rules have no effect on its weapons until the end of that sequence: Devastating, Piercing, Torrent.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly VOSTROYAN FIRSTBORN operative is selected as the valid target of a Shoot action. Select one friendly TROOPER operative visible to and within 2" of that first friendly operative to become the valid target instead (even if it wouldn’t normally be valid for this). That friendly TROOPER operative is only in Cover if the original target was. This ploy has no effect if the ranged weapon has the Blast or Torrent weapon rule.

Earn D3 Machine Points.

Whenever a friendly VOSTROYAN FIRSTBORN operative is fighting, the first time you strike during that sequence, inflict 1 additional damage.

You may pick one of these Equipments and increase the number of its uses by 1.

(For example: UTILITY GRENADE (x2) becomes UTILITY GRENADE (x3) for the battle).
