Friendly CHAOSBANE operatives’ Mastercrafted Bolt Pistols, Stormbolters, and Laspistols have the Devastating 1 weapon rule.

Whenever an attack dice would inflict Critical Dmg on a friendly CHAOS BANE KNIGHT (non aspirant) operative, you can choose for that attack dice to inflict Normal Dmg instead. You cannot use this rule for each friendly CHAOS BANE KNIGHT (non aspirant) operative more than once per turning point.

Add 1 to the Atk stat of friendly CHAOSBANE KNIGHT ASPIRANT operatives’ melee weapons. Whenever a friendly CHAOSBANE KNIGHT ASPIRANT operative is retaliating, its melee weapons have the Accurate 1 weapon rule.

Once per battle, when a friendly CHAOS BANE KNIGHT operative is activated or counteracts, you can select a different PSYCHIC BOON for it to have until the end of the battle (it loses any it previously had). It cannot be the same PSYCHIC BOON any other friendly operative has. Note that if you use this rule when a friendly operative counteracts and you select Echoes from the Warp, it can be used immediately to change the operative’s order and perform a free action during that counteraction.

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 an attack die inflicts Normal Dmg on a friendly CHAOSBANE ASPIRANT operative. That attack die inflicts 1 damage instead.

Use this firefight ploy at the end of a friendly CHAOS BANE KNIGHT operative’s activation. That friendly operative can immediately perform a free Dash action (even if it’s performed an action that prevents it from performing the Dash action), or you can change its order instead.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly CHAOSBANE NOTIVIATE operative is activated. Select one other ready friendly CHAOSBANE NOTIVIATE operative visible to and within 2" of it to activate at the same time. Complete their activations action by action in any order.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly CHAOS BANE KNIGHT operative is activated. Select one other friendly CHAOS BANE KNIGHT operative visible to and within 9" of that operative, then select one of that other friendly operative's PSYCHIC unique actions or PSYCHIC ranged weapons for that first friendly operative to have until the end of its activation. You cannot select a PSYCHIC ranged weapon that has been used by that other friendly operative during this turning point, and that other friendly operative cannot use the selected weapon during this turning point.

Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly CHAOSBANE operative, weapons with the Piercing 1 weapon rule have the Piercing Crits 1 weapon rule instead.

Friendly CHAOS BANE KNIGHT operatives' PSYCHIC weapons have the Balanced weapon rule, or Ceaseless instead if another friendly CHAOS BANE KNIGHT operative is within 9" of that operative.

**Ceaseless: ** Can re-roll any or all results of one value (e.g. all results of 2) **Balanced: ** Can re-roll one Attack die.

Roll 2D6 and reserve them (put them to one side). In the following Firefight phase, whenever an operative is shooting, fighting or retaliating, after you or your opponent roll their attack dice, but before re-rolls, you can use one of your reserved dice to replace one of the D6 rolled for that sequence (yours or your opponent's); that replacement die cannot be re-rolled or retained as a success or critical success if it is not, and is discarded at the end of that sequence.

Then, if the combined result of both reserved dice was less than 9, discard the other die. You cannot use more than one reserved dice per sequence. Discard any remaining reserved dice at the end of the turning point.

Friendly NOVITIATE operatives' melee weapons have the Accurate 1 weapon rule. Whenever a friendly NOVITIATE operative is assisted by a friendly NOVITIATE operative, or is fighting while visible to and within 6" of a friendly WARPBANE KNIGHT (non aspirant) operative, that friendly NOVITIATE operative's melee weapons also have the Severe weapon rule.

**Severe: **If you do not retain any critical successes, you can change one of your normal successes to a critical success. Any rules that take effect as a result of retaining a critical success (e.g. Devastating, Piercing Crits, etc.) still do. Accurate 1: You can retain 1 Attack Die as a normal success without rolling it.
