Corrupted power and warp-infused jump packs bristle with metallic spines and scything blades with which to rend the flesh of unsuspecting prey.

Friendly MURDERWING operatives can perform the following unique action:

SLICE FROM ABOVE (1AP) BOOST action. Inflict D3+1 damage on one enemy operative within this operative’s BOOST ZONE.

An operative cannot perform this action normally. Instead, it performs this action during the Fall Back or Reposition action after setting up from a BOOST. A DEPREDATOR operative cannot perform this action during the same activation in which it performed the Carving Blow action (or vice versa).

Snaring claws and sharpened spurs protrude from the grotesque power armour of these predatory warrior.

Friendly MURDERWING operatives can perform the following unique action:

CLAWED CHARGE (0AP) BOOST action. Inflict 1 damage on one enemy operative within this operative’s control range, then the Charge action ends.

An operative cannot perform this action normally. Instead, it performs this action during the Charge action after setting up from a BOOST.

Vox-speakers wrought into the panels of corrupted power armour enhance the roar of engines and the animal cries of predatory warriors, overwhelming the senses of stunned prey.

Once per turning point, one friendly MURDERWING operative can perform the following unique action:

VOX-CRY (1AP) Each enemy operative within 3" of this operative 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 it has a Conceal order.

Immersion within the warp has mutated this warrior’s body, transforming their blood into high-octane fuel that burns through veins and arteries, powering muscles and jet engines alike.

Once per turning point, when an enemy operative ends the Fall Back action during its activation, if at least one friendly MURDERWING operative was within its control range at the start of that action, you can use this rule. One of those friendly operatives can immediately perform a free Reposition or Charge action, but cannot move more than 3" of move distance. Note that if the enemy operative doesn’t perform the Fall Back action during its own activation, this has no effect.

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.

The Murderwing wait until fear is at its zenith before striking.

Use this firefight ploy when it’s your turn to activate, if only one friendly MURDERWING operative is ready. Until the end of the turning point, whenever any enemy operatives are in the killzone, you can skip your activations (in other words, you can delay that friendly MURDERWING operative’s activation). Note that you cannot counteract until that friendly MURDERWING operative is expended.

*Descending from lofty perches, Murderwings ambush unwary prey. * Use this firefight ploy when an enemy operative ends the Charge, Dash, Fall Back or Reposition action within 3" horizontally of a friendly MURDERWING operative (or in close quarters, 2"), and that enemy operative must be in a different room where it started that action. Interrupt the enemy operative’s activation/counteraction and immediately perform a free Charge action with that friendly operative. It must end that action within control range of the enemy operative. If this isn’t possible, the interruption is cancelled and this rule hasn’t been used.

Debased traitors all, Murderwings retain no codes of martial honour.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly MURDERWING operative is fighting or retaliating, when you resolve a critical success. Instead of striking or blocking, end the sequence and any remaining attack dice are discarded and immediately perform a free Fall Back action up to 3" with that operative (then the Fight action ends). That operative can do so even if it’s performed an action that prevents it from performing the Fall Back action.

*Warp-corrupted jump packs lend their wearers terrifying speed. * Use this firefight ploy when a friendly MURDERWING operative is performing the Fall Back or Reposition action, when it does a BOOST. That operative can be set up an additional 3" away during that BOOST (adding this to the permitted move distance), but cannot perform the Shoot, Fight or Carving Blow (pg 43) action until the next turning point. You cannot use this ploy during the first turning point.

*Murderwings excel when striking from above, using their mobility and jet-assisted might to massacre their enemies. * Whenever a friendly MURDERWING operative is at least 2" higher than the killzone floor, its weapons have the Balanced weapon rule. Whenever a friendly MURDERWING operative does a BOOST, its weapons have the Balanced weapon rule until the end of that activation.

*Opportunistic predators all, the warriors of a Murderwing seek to single out and pick off the most vulnerable prey. * Whenever a friendly MURDERWING operative is shooting or fighting, its weapons have the Punishing weapon rule if any of the following are true for the operative that friendly operative is shooting or fighting against:

• It’s at least 2" lower than that friendly operative.
• Its APL stat is less than normal.
• It was wounded at the start of the activation/counteraction.

So swift and elusive are the Murderwing that even the most skilled of sharpshooters struggle to hit them as they soar above.

Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly MURDERWING operative that’s at least 2" higher than the killzone floor, or that did a BOOST during this turning point, you can re-roll one of your defence dice.

Such is the savagery and horror of the Murderwing that even the boldest combatants find their hearts gripped by paralysing fear.

Whenever a friendly MURDERWING operative is fighting, Normal Dmg of 3 or more inflicts 1 less damage on it.
