Add 1 to the Wound stat of the friendly operative that has the "REAVER LORD" keyword for the battle.

Once per turning point when an enemy is shooting a friendly ABYSSAL TALON operative, you can use one of the following rules:

• At the start of the Roll Defence Dice step, you can use this rule. If you do, worsen the x of the Piercing weapon rule by 1 (if any) until the end of that sequence. Note that Piercing 1 would therefore be ignored.

• In the Roll Defence Dice step, you can re-roll one of your defence dice.

Whenever a friendly ABYSSAL TALON operative is climbing a terrain, you can treat the vertical distance as 2 inches (regardless of how far the operative actually moves vertically).

Once per turning point, a friendly ABYSSAL TALON operative (excluding CHYMERIAE) can have the Fly rule.

FLY: Whenever a friendly operative is performing the Charge, Fall Back or Reposition action, it can FLY. If it does, don’t move it. Instead, remove it from the killzone and set it back up wholly within a distance equal to its Move stat horizontally of its original location (in a killzone that uses the close quarters rules, e.g. Killzone: Gallowdark, this distance cannot be measured over or through Wall terrain). Note that it gains no additional distance when performing the Charge action. It must be set up in a location it can be placed, and unless it’s the Charge action, it cannot be set up within control range of an enemy operative.

Select a friendly ABYSSAL TALON DARK HERALD operative to have the Storm Shield rule for the battle.

STORM SHIELD: The friendly operative with this rule ignores the Piercing weapon rule. Whenever it is fighting or retaliating, in the Resolve Attack Dice step of that sequence, each time it parries, two of your opponent's successful hits are discarded (instead of one).

That friendly operative cannot have that rule if the Heavy Thunder Hammer or Xenophase Blade melee weapons were selected for it.

Once per turning point, when an enemy operative is shooting or fighting a friendly ABYSSAL TALON operative, your opponent cannot retain attack dice results of less than 6 as critical successes (e.g. as a result of Lethal, Rending or Severe weapon rules).

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 ABYSSAL TALON operative is shooting, fighting or retaliating against an enemy operative that has the "AELDARI", "TA'U EMPIRE", "ORK", "TYRANID", "NECRON" or "VOTANN" keyword. That friendly operative's weapons have the Ceaseless weapon rule until the end of the sequence, or the Relentless weapon rule if that enemy operative has the "IMPERIUM" or "CHAOS" keyword until the end of that sequence.

Use this firefight ploy when a ready friendly ABYSSAL TALON operative is fighting or retaliating against an enemy operative with 8 or less wounds. If that friendly operative is to be incapacatitated during that sequence, discard any remaining successes and it immediately performs a Fallback action. Subtract 2 from that friendly operative's APL stat until the end of its next activation.

Use this firefight ploy when an enemy operative that has the "IMPERIUM" or "CHAOS" keyword is incapacitated while within control range of a friendly ABYSSAL TALON operative, you can add 1 Explosive Grenade or 1 Utility Grenade to your equipment that your opponent has selected during the Select Operatives phase.

Use this firefight ploy when an enemy operative that has the "AELDARI", "TA'U EMPIRE", "ORK", "TYRANID", "NECRON" or "VOTANN" keyword is incapacitated while within control range of a friendly ABYSSAL TALON operative, you can add 1 of the ranged or melee weapons that enemy operative has to that friendly operative's weapons for the battle (excluding weapons that have the Heavy (of all variants), Piercing 2 or Lethal x weapon rules) .

Friendly ABYSSAL TALON operatives with Engege orders and wholly within your territory can immediately perform a free Charge (up to a maximum of 3 inches) or Dash action in an order of your choice but must end their moves wholly within your opponent's territory.

Whenever a friendly ABYSSAL TALON operative is within 3 inches of another friendly operative of the same keywords (e.g. both are DEATH SEEKER operatives), that friendly operative's weapons have the Severe weapon rule.

Friendly ABYSSAL TALON operatives with Engege orders and wholly within your opponent's territory can immediately perform a free Reposition action in an order of your choice but must end their moves wholly within your territory.

Whenever a friendly ABYSSAL TALON operative is wholly within your territory and it's injured, you can ignore any changes to its stats (including from the Stun weapon rule etc.).

Whenever a friendly ABYSSAL TALON operative is wholly within your opponent's territory and it's wounded, you can ignore any changes to its stats (including from the Stun weapon rule etc.).
