Whenever you activate a friendly BREACHER DRONE operative in the killzone, until the end of that operative’s next activation, ignore the first two bullet points of its Drone rule (this takes precedence over that rule).

Twice per turning point, a friendly BREACHER operative (excluding DRONE) can perform the following unique action:

Photon Grenade (1AP)

• Select one enemy operative visible to and within 6” of this operative and roll one D6: on a 3+, until the end of that operative’s next activation, subtract 2” from its Move stat and it cannot perform the Dash action.
• An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative.

Whenever a friendly BREACHER operative (excluding DRONE) fights or retaliates, the first time an attack dice inflicts Normal Dmg of 4 or more on it during that sequence, that attack inflicts 1 less damage on it.

Once per turning point, when a friendly BREACHER operative fights or retaliates and you select a pulse blaster (short range), you can use this rule. If you do, until the end of that sequence, that weapon has the Lethal 5+ and Shock 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 in the Firefight phase when a friendly BREACHER operative performs a Dash, Fall Back, or Reposition action. During that action, add 2” to its Move stat, and it can move within engagement range of enemy operatives, but cannot finish that move within engagement range of them.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly BREACHER operative (excluding DRONE) is incapacitated. Select one friendly BREACHER operative (excluding DRONE) that can select that enemy operative as a valid target and make a shooting attack. For this attack, its weapons gain the Ceaseless weapon rule and if it has the Range x weapon rule, add 4” to it for the purposes of selecting valid targets for that attack.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly BREACHER operative (excluding DRONE) is selected as the valid target of a Shoot action. Select one friendly BREACHER DRONE operative visible to and within 3” of that first friendly operative to become the valid target instead (even if it wouldn’t normally be valid for this). That friendly DRONE operative is only in cover or obscured if the original target was. This ploy has no effect if the ranged weapon has the Blast or Torrent weapon rule.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly BREACHER operative (excluding DRONE) retaliates. For that sequence, treat it as the Montka faction rule and it fights first, with this ploy taking precedence over that rule’s normal conditions. If that operative had a Conceal order, change it to Engage.

Each time a friendly BREACHER operative makes an attack with a pulse weapon that has the Range x weapon rule as the result of a Shoot or Fight action:

• For that shooting attack, enemy operatives within 6” cannot retain any cover saves.
• In the Roll Attack Dice step of that sequence, if the target is within 3” of it, it gains the Balanced weapon rule.

Whenever an operative is shooting against, fighting against, or retaliating against a friendly BREACHER operative that’s within your territory or hasn’t performed the Charge, Fall Back, or Reposition action during this turning point, Normal and Critical Dmg of 3 or more inflicts 1 less damage on that friendly operative.

Friendly BREACHER operatives wholly within your territory can perform a free Dash action, but must end that move closer to an enemy operative or objective marker. If a friendly BREACHER operative is within 3” of an enemy operative, it can perform a free Charge action instead. You cannot use this ploy during the First turning point.

Until the end of the turning point, whenever a Shoot action is performed by a friendly BREACHER operative, in the Select Valid Target step of that shooting attack, you can select an enemy operative that is within control range of a friendly operative and within 6” of the active operative as a valid target. If the current killzone uses the Close Quarters rules, friendly operative’s ranged weapons cannot have their Attack stat be modified as a result of crossing another operative’s base when establishing cover lines.
