Once per turning point, friendly SALAMANDERS operative's Torrent weapons have the Blaze weapon rule within 6" of the closest enemy operative:

If you inflict damage with any critical successes, the operative this weapon is being used against gains one of your Blaze tokens (if it doesn’t already have one).

Whenever an operative with a Blaze token activates, it takes D3 damage. After taking the damage, that operative's player can choose to remove the token by rolling a D6 and getting a 3+.

Once per turning point, when a friendly SALAMANDERS operative incapacitates an enemy operative within 2" of it, you can use this rule. If you do, that friendly operative gains one of your Draken Scale tokens (if it does not already have one). Whenever a friendly SALAMANDERS operative that has one of your Draken Scale tokens is visible to and within control range of an enemy operative, subtract 1 from the ATK stat of that enemy operative's melee weapons.

Once per turning point, when a friendly SALAMANDERS operative is shooting, fighting or retaliating, if you roll three or more normal successes, you can retain one of them as a critical success.

Friendly SALAMANDERS operatives have the following melee weapon for the battle:

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 a friendly SALAMANDERS operative is within control range of an enemy operative, it immediately performs a free Fall Back action up to 3" with that operative. That friendly operative’s weapons have the Punishing weapon rule.

Punishing: If you retain any critical successes, you can retain one of your fails as a normal success instead of discarding it.

Use this firefight ploy when an operative is shooting a friendly SALAMANDERS operative, in the Roll Defence Dice step. You can retain one of your normal successes as a critical success instead.

Use this Firefight Ploy when a friendly SALAMANDERS operative is shooting. After a friendly SALAMANDERS operative incapacitates an enemy operative, it immediately perform a free Dash action with that operative. That operative can do so even if it’s performed an action that prevents it from performing the Dash action.

Use this firefight ploy during a friendly SALAMANDERS operative’s activation or counteraction, before or after it performs an action. Select one of the following:

• One enemy operative within 3" of that operative gains one of your Blaze tokens (if it does not already have one).
• Roll 1D6: if the result is 4+, one enemy operative visible to and within 6" of that operative gains one of your Blaze tokens (if it does not already have one).

Whenever an operative that has one of your Blaze tokens is activated, inflict D3 damage on it. Until the end of the turning point remove the token.

Whenever a friendly SALAMANDERS operative is shooting, fighting, and retaliating, its weapons have the Balanced weapon rule.

Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly SALAMANDERS operative, if you roll two or more fails, you can discard one of them to retain another as a normal success instead.

Select one RITES OF THE FORGEFATHER from those presented below. Whenever a friendly SALAMANDERS operative is x. X is the RITES OF THE FORGEFATHER you selected.

• Incendiary Terror: Whenever an operative is shooting an enemy operative within 6", that enemy operative cannot retain more than one successful save as a critical save.

• Relentless Advance Assault: Add 1" to the operative's Move stat.

• Onslaught of Fire: Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly SALAMANDERS operative within 6" from it that performed an action in which it moved during this turning point, worsen the Hit stat of the enemy operative's weapons by 1.

You can ignore any changes to the stats of friendly SALAMANDERS operatives from being injured and ignore APL modifiers.
