Composition

A ÛTHAR'S DESTINED Kill Team is composed of:

  • 1 ÛTHAR THE DESTINED operative
  • 2 DEMOLITION E-COG operatives

5 ÛTHAR'S DESTINED operatives selected from the following list:

  • EINHYR CHAMPION
  • CREST BEARER
  • DOZR
  • WARRIOR
  • GRENADIER

Other than DEMOLTION E-COGS, CREST BEARER, and WARRIOR operatives, your Kill Team can only include each operative above once.

Common Abilities and Options

Ancestor's Design:
Whenever a friendly ÛTHAR'S DESTINED operative is shooting, fighting, or retaliating, in the Roll Attack Dice step:

  • For each attack die result of 6 you retain, you gain one Destined token
  • You can spend up to 2 of your Destined tokens (unless it's a DEMOLITION E-COG). For each point you spend this way, retain one of your fails as a normal success instead of discarding it

You can gain and spend Destined tokens during the same action and can do so in an order of your choice, unless you started the action with 6, in which case you can only spend them. If you start an action with 6 Destined tokens, you cannot gain any more during that action.

Strike the Seam:
The first time a friendly ÛTHAR'S DESTINED operative (excluding DEMOLITION E-COG) that has an Engage order performs either the Charge, Shoot, or Fight action (excluding Guard), during each of its activations/counteractions, add 1 to its APL stat until the start of its next activation.

*Charge Set:
This operative can perform the Shoot action with this weapon 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.

Directive Protocol:
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.

Expendable:
This operative is ignored for your opponent's kill/elimination op (when it is incapacitated, and when determining your starting number of operatives). It is also ignored for victory conditions and scoring VPs if either require operatives to "escape", "survive", or be incapacitated by enemy operatives (if it escapes/survives/is incapacitated, determining how many operatives must escape/survive/be incapacitated, etc.).

Self Destruct:
Whenever this operative is incapacitated during a battle in which it has not used its Demolition Charge, roll 1D6, or 2D6 if you wish. If any result is a 4+, this operative performs a free Shoot action with its Explosives before it is removed from the killzone.

Then the action ends and you gain 1 Wrecka point, plus 1 for each operative that was incapacitated during that action. Damage from this weapon rule cannot be ignored or reduced.

Void Armour: Normal Dmg of 4 or more inflicts 1 less damage on this operative; if this operative has an Engage order, Critical Dmg or 4 or more also inflicts 1 less damage on this operative.

Breach Point (1AP): Select a terrain feature within this operative's control range. If it is Equipment terrain, remove it. Otherwise, place one of your Breach markers within this operative's control range as close as possible to that terrain. Whenever an operative is within 1" of that marker, it treats parts of that terrain feature that are no more than 1" thick as Accessible terrain.

This operative cannot perform this action while within Control Range of an enemy operative, or if a terrain feature is not within its Control Range.

*Concussion Gauntlet: Whenever you strike, you can move the enemy operative in a straight line increment of up to 1". If you do, it must finish the move further away from this operative and in a location it can be placed. Then move this operative in a straight line increment of up to 1", but it must end that move within that enemy operative's control range (if either is not possible, you cannot move them).

Unyielding Resilience: Whenever an enemy operative is shooting this operative, or this operative is fighting or retaliating, your opponent cannot retain attack dice results of less than 6 as critical successes (e.g. as a result of the Lethal, Rending or Severe weapon rules).

*Tremor Shell: Do not select a valid target. Instead, place your Tremor marker Visible to this operative, or on Vantage terrain of a terrain feature Visible to this operative. That marker gains 1 Tremor point, then roll attack dice: It gains 1 additional Tremor point for each success (to a maximum of 3 additional points). Separately inflict 1D3 damage on each operative wholly within x" of that marker, where x is that marker's Tremor points. Then the action ends.

Tectonic Tremor: Whenever an operative is withing x" of your Pulsa marker, worsen the Hit stat of its weapons by 1 and subtract 2" from its Move stat. This is cumulative with being injured. X is that marker's Pulsa points. In the Ready step of each Strategy phase, subtract 1 from your Pulsa marker's points. If a Pulsa marker ever has 0 points, remove it.

Equipment

CONVERSION MODULE:
Once per Turning Point, whenever a friendly ÛTHAR'S DESTINED operative is performing the Shoot action and you select a EtaCarn Plasma Gun or EtaCarn Plasma Beamer, you can use this rule. If you do, until the end of that action, that weapon loses the Blast weapon rule but has the Piercing 1 weapon rule.


Prophecy:
When this item of equipment is selected, also select the Superlative Material or The Ancestor's are Watching! strategy ploy. The first time you would use that ploy during the battle, it costs 0CP; whenever you would use it thereafter, it costs 0CP if you have any Destined tokens.


WEAVEFIELD PROJECTORS:
Subtract 1" from the Move stat of friendly ÛTHAR'S DESTINED operatives and improve their Save stat by 1. This excludes DEMOLTION E-COG operatives and is not cumulative with the Protective rule of a Portable Barricade from Universal Equipment.


INCH-THICK EXO-ARMOUR:
Once per Turning Point, whenever a friendly ÛTHAR'S DESTINED operative (excluding DEMOLITION E-COG) is activated, you can use this rule. If you do, until the end of that activation, you can ignore any changes to that operative's stats from being injured (including its weapons' stats).


Ploys

Firefight - ENGAGE TO ACQUIRE:
Use this Firefight ploy after a friendly ÛTHAR'S DESTINED operative performs the Fight or Shoot action; just before incapacitated operatives are removed (if any). Place one of your Engage to Acquire markers within the target's Control Range (if it is using a Blast weapon, the primary target). Whenever a friendly ÛTHAR'S DESTINED operative (excluding DEMOLTION E-COG) is shooting against, fighting against, or retaliating against an operative that is within 3" of that marker, you can spend a Destined tokens for free (even if you have none). In the Ready step of the next Strategy phase, remove that marker.


Firefight - CRAGGY SUBDERMAL LAYER:
Use this Firefight ploy when an attack die inflicts Normal dmg on a friendly ÛTHAR'S DESTINED operative (excluding DEMOLTION E-COG). Ignore that inflicted damage.


Firefight - ION MODULE:
Use this Firefight ploy when a friendly ÛTHAR'S DESTINED operative performs the Shoot action and a weapon with the Blast weapon rule is selected. Until the end of that action, add 1" to that weapons' Blast and it has the Severe weapon rule when shooting the primary target. You cannot use this ploy and the Conversion Module rule (see equipment) during the same action. Note that Severe does not generate a Destined token (as it is not a 6).


Firefight - BLISTERING ASSUALT:
Use this Firefight ploy during a friendly ÛTHAR'S DESTINED CREST BEARER, ÛTHAR THE DESTINED, DOZR, OR EINHYR CHAMPION operative's activation. During that activation, that operative can perform two Fight actions.


Strategic - AUTO REPAIR SYSTEMS:
Each friendly ÛTHAR'S DESTINED operative that has an Engage order can immediately reagin 1D3+1 lost Wounds (roll separately for each).


Strategic - SUPERLATIVE MATERIAL:
Friendly ÛTHAR'S DESTINED operatives' ranged weapons have the Saturate weapon rule.


Strategic - COMBAT STANCE:
Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly ÛTHAR'S DESTINED operative that has an Engage order, you can re-roll one of your Defense dice.


Strategic - THE ANCESTOR'S ARE WATCHING!:
Friendly ÛTHAR'S DESTINED operatives' melee weapons have the Balanced weapon rule.


TacOps
Seek And Destroy: Sweep & Clear

Reveal: The first time an enemy operative is incapacitated while contesting an objective marker, or the first time a friendly operative performs the Clear action (whichever comes first).
