When a friendly operative performs the Shoot action or is a target of the Shoot action, at the end of the action that operative regains 1 wound.

Friendly operatives can ignore any changes to the Hit stat for ranged weapon profiles on their datacards.

Friendly Ballisticus Sect operatives (excluding the Ammo Fiend) have the following melee weapon:

Before the battle, you can set up one of your Charred Icon markers wholly within your territory and more than 2" from other markers. Once per turning point, during a friendly operative's activation, if it controls this marker it can perform two Shoot actions during its activation. Friendly operatives can perform the Pick Up Marker action on that marker.

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.

When a friendly operative makes a Pact, at the end of the shooting sequence, ignore the damage from failing to meet the Pact’s cost.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly BALLISTICUS SECT operative is retaliating, if it wasn’t within control range of enemy operatives at the start of that activation/counteraction. You can use one of the ranged weapons on its datacard as a melee weapon (excluding a weapon that has the Blast X" weapon rule) during that sequence. If you do, you cannot block during that sequence, and the following weapon rules have no effect on its weapons until the end of that sequence: *Arc, Devastating, Piercing, Torrent. If that friendly operative has an Engage order and has performed the Shoot action this turning point, you resolve the first attack dice (i.e. defender instead of attacker).

During a friendly operative's activation, when it performs the Shoot action and makes a Pact during that Shoot action, add 1 to its APL until the end of its activation.

Use this firefight ploy during a friendly BALLISTICUS SECT operative's activation, before or after it performs an action. During that activation, that operative can perform the Fall Back action for 1 less AP.

Whenever a friendly BALLISTICUS SECT operative is shooting during an activation in which it hasn’t performed the Charge, Fall Back or Reposition action, its ranged weapons have the Balanced and Severe weapon rules; if the weapon already has the Balanced weapon rule, it has the Ceaseless and Severe weapon rules instead. Note that operative isn’t restricted from performing those actions after shooting.

Place your Ambush marker wholly within your territory. Whenever an enemy operative ends its activation within 3” of your Ambush marker, before the next operative is activated you can select a friendly operative wholly within your territory to perform a free Shoot action against that enemy operative (you can change its order to Engage to do so). If that friendly operative is Ready, its weapon has Seek Light for the duration of the action. You cannot select each friendly operative for this ploy more than once per turning point. Remove the Ambush marker at the end of the turning point.

Select one SIGHT RANGE from the options below. Whenever a friendly operative is x, improve the hit stat of its ranged weapons by 1 (to a minimum of 3+). If the Hit stat is already 3+ or better, the ranged weapon gains the Balanced weapon rule instead. X is the SIGHT RANGE you selected.

• Long Range: Shooting an operative more than 8” from it.
• Short Range: Shooting an operative within 8” of it.

Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly BALLISTICUS SECT operative that is in cover:

• Ignore the Saturate weapon rule.
• If you can retain any cover saves, you can retain one additional cover save. If the operative is in cover behind Heavy terrain, you can choose to retain a critical save instead. This isn’t cumulative with improved cover saves from Vantage terrain.
