Ultramarines Second Company

Homebrew by seanleedg

To pacify the Five Hundred Worlds, the Second Company must wield both the shield and the scalpel. This cadre is an irregular fist. We combine the heavy resilience of Gravis plate, the calculated eyes of Phobos recon, and the unwavering discipline of the Battleline. Whether the enemy is living metal or a ravenous biological swarm, this circle will break them.

  • An objective marker the active operative controls is cleared for the turning point.
  • An operative cannot perform this action during the first turning point, or while within control range of an enemy operative.

Victory Points:

Victory Points:

At the end of each turning point after the first, if your Banner mission marker is wholly within your opponent's territory and friendly operatives control it, you score 1VP; if that's true and no enemy operatives contest it, you score 2VP instead.
