Cults Of The Primordial

Homebrew by Aionex1441

A Chaos Cult is an often secret organisation dedicated to the worship of Chaos or one of the Chaos Gods that is the most dangerous of all those organisations that plot to overthrow the rule of the Imperium of Man from within. All planets and civilisations belonging to the Imperium can harbour Chaos-tainted organisations, which themselves are as diverse in practice and membership as is imaginable.

This unholy ocomradery is meant to expand on what those cults can be, from different pacts dedicated to each dark god to the inclusion of Daemons. All but to serve the one truth, the Primordial Truth.

This operative cannot perform the free Fight action if it rolled all the attack dice of this weapon.

Breach (1AP): Place one of your Breach markers within this operative’s control range as close as possible to a terrain feature within control range of it. Whenever an operative is within 1 inch of that marker, it treats parts of that terrain feature that are no more than 1 inch thick as Accessible terrain.

This operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or if a terrain feature isn’t within its control range.

Daemonically Infused: This operative ignores the Piercing weapon rule.

This operative cannot use any weapons that are not on its datacard, or perform Mission actions (excluding Operate Hatch).

Herald Of Vashtorr: Enemy operative's within 5 inches of this operative cannot be obscured.

Whenever an enemy operative is within 5 inches of this operative, that enemy operative's APL stat cannot be added to. Note that this does not affect APL stats that have already been changed.

*Discord: In the Roll Attack Dice step; if you retained any critical successes, worsen the Save stat of the target this weapon is being used against by 1 for that sequence.

*Psyk-Trap: Operatives with the "PSYKER" keyword within control range of a friendly operative that has this weapon cannot perform the Fallback action.

Whenever this operative incapacitates an operative with the "PSYKER" keyword using this weapon, add 1 to both of the Dmg stats of this weapon for the battle.

Herald Of Malice: Whenever your opponent would activate an enemy operative within 6 inches of this operative, you can roll a 1D6. If the result is higher than the enemy operative's APL stat, they cannot activate it during this activation. If there are no other enemy operatives eligible to be activated, this rule has no effect.

Whenever this operative has a Conceal order and is in cover, it cannot be selected as a valid target, taking precedence over all other rules (e.g. Seek, Vantage terrain) except being within 2 inches.

Psychic Null: PSYCHIC ranged weapons cannot inflict damage on this operative. For the effects of PSYCHIC actions, this operative cannot be selected and is never treated as being within those actions’ required distances. Whenever an operative is within 6" of this operative:

  • That operative cannot perform PSYCHIC actions or use PSYCHIC additional rules.

  • That operative cannot use PSYCHIC ranged weapons.

  • PSYCHIC melee weapons have no weapon rules and cannot have Dmg stats higher than 3/4.

Weapon Rules

*Explosive: If this weapon was selected for this operative during the Select Operatives phase, during the Firefight phase, whenever you determine this operative's order, you cannot select Conceal. This operative cannot perform any actions other than Charge, Dash, Fight, Reposition, and Shoot, or use any weapons that are not on its datacard. This operative can perform the Shoot action with this weapon only while within Control Range of an enemy operative. Do not select a valid target. Instead, this operative is always the primary target and cannot be in cover or obscured. Whenever this operative is incapacitated during a battle in which it has not used this weapon, roll a 1D6. If the result is 3+, this operative performs a free Shoot action with this weapon before it is removed from the killzone.

Ploys

Firefight - ETERNAL ONSLAUGHT:
Use this firefight ploy when a friendly CULTIST DAMNED operative is activated. Until the end of its activation, That operative's ranged weapons have the Assault weapon rule.

*Assault: This weapon can be used in shooting attacks while this operative is within control range of enemy operatives, but worsen the Hit stat of this operative's ranged weapons by 1 for these sequences.

Firefight - FAVOURS FROM BEYOND:
Use this firefight ploy during a friendly CULTIST operative's activation (excluding DEVOTEE and FIREBRAND). Select one of the following rules to have for that operative in accordance to its Dark Pact (i.e. from the CULTS OF THE DARK GODS faction rule):

  • PACT OF KHORNE: That operative regains 1D3 lost wounds.

  • PACT OF NURGLE: Ignore any changes of that operative's stats from being injured.

  • PACT OF TZEENTCH: Change its order.

  • PACT OF SLAANESH: Perform a free Fall Back action.

  • PACT OF VASHTORR: Perform a free Mission action.

  • PACT OF MALICE: Perform a free Charge action.

Firefight - DAEMONIC MOCKERY:
Use this firefight ploy when a friendly DAEMON or MALTEK operative is retaliating or an enemy operative is shooting it, after your opponent rolls their attack dice, but before re-rolls. Until the end of the sequence, your opponent cannot re-roll their attack dice (if your opponent declared the use of any firefight ploys during that sequence that would allow them to re-roll, that ploy is cancelled and the CP spent on it is refunded).

Firefight - FAITHFUL FOLLOWER:
Use this firefight ploy when a friendly CULTIST DARK APOSTLE or DARK COMMUNE operative is selected as the valid target of a Shoot action or to fight against during the Fight action. Select one other friendly CULTIST DAMNED operative visible to and within 3 inches of that DARK APOSTLE or DARK COMMUNE operative to become the valid target or to be fought against (as appropriate) instead (even if it wouldn’t normally be valid for this). If it’s the Fight action, treat that other operative as being within the fighting operative’s control range for the duration of that action. If it is the Shoot action, that other operative is only in cover or obscured if the original target was.

This ploy has no effect if it’s the Shoot action and the ranged weapon has the Blast or Torrent weapon rule.

Strategic - DARK INTERVENTION:
Each friendly CULTIST operative's weapons have the following weapon rules to use once during a sequence in accordance to its selected Dark Pact (i.e. from the CULTS OF THE DARK GODS faction rule):

  • PACT OF KHORNE: Rending weapon rule.

  • PACT OF NURGLE: *Poison and *Toxic weapon rules.

  • PACT OF TZEENTCH: *Blaze weapon rule.

  • PACT OF SLAANESH: Stun weapon rule.

  • PACT OF VASHTORR: Accurate 1 weapon rule.

  • PACT OF MALICE: Punishing weapon rule.

*Poison: In the Resolve Attack Dice step, if you inflict damage with any critical success, the operative this weapon is being used against gains one of your Poison tokens (if it does not already have one). Whenever an operative that has one of your Poison tokens is activated, inflict 1 damage on it.

*Toxic: Whenever this operative is using this weapon against an enemy operative that has one of your Poison tokens, add 1 to both Dmg stats of this weapon.

*Blaze: If you retain any critical success, the operative this weapon is being used against gains one of your Blaze Tokens (if it doesn’t already have one). When an operative that has one of your Blaze Tokens is activated, inflict 1D3 damage on it then remove the token from it.

Strategic - UNHOLY ALLIANCE:
Once per battle, select up to friendly CULTIST DARK COMMUNE and/or DAMNED operatives to remove their Dark Pact and have a different one (i.e. from the CULTS OF THE DARK GODS faction rule). Any Accursed Gifts each has from the previous pact (i.e. from the ACCURSED GIFTS rule) is no longer usable and only the one(s) from the newer pact are usable.

Strategic - CREATURES OF NIGHTMARES:
Whenever determining control of a marker, treat the total APL stat of enemy operatives that contest it as 1 lower if at least one of those enemy operatives is within 2 inches of friendly CULTIST MUTANT or CULTIST TORMENT operatives.

Note this isn’t a change to the APL stat, so any changes are cumulative with this.

Strategic - THE ONLY TRUTH:
You and your opponent roll a 1D6 but do not reveal the results. Instead, you predict the result of your opponent and vice versa. If your prediction was closer to your opponent's result than his to yours, you can start as first during the firefight phase of the turning point (regardless of who has the initiative). Otherwise, your opponent can start first.
