Bulky: - This operative cannot be placed on Vantage terrain higher than 2" from the killzone floor

  • Whenever this operative would perform the Fight action, the distance requirements of its control range can be changed to 1" horizontally and 4" vertically until the end of that action
  • This operative can move through other operatives (excluding NEMESIS operatives)
  • Ignore all changes to this operative's APL and if it is a player operative, APL changes do not affect the 5AP you can spend per turning point.

Extra Defence: Whenever an operative is shooting this operative, collect and roll one additional defence die, unless this operative is injured.

Nemesis - Large: ### Weapon and Option Selection

  • Select three weapons

Towering Size: - In the Firefight phase, whenever you determine this operative's order, you cannot select Conceal

  • This operative cannot be in cover or obscured by Light terrain, terrain parts less than 3" tall or terrain that is not wholly intervening
  • Whenever another operative is performing the Shoot action, being within control range of other operatives does not prevent this operative from being selected as a valid target. In other words, this operative can be shot while within control range of friendly operatives
  • This operative can move through terrain parts less than 2" tall. It cannot move through Accessible terrain (excluding hatchways) unless that terrain is also less than 2" tall
  • Whenever this operative would finish a move in a terrain feature less than 2" tall, temporarily remove that terrain feature from the killzone, then return it when this operative leaves that location; if it is an equipment terrain feature, remove it from the battle instead

Behaviour: Guardian: This NPO will shoot the enemy as a priority, but will fight if the need arises. When activated, if it's a NEMESIS NPO or will perform the Fight, Charge or Shoot action during that activation, give it an Engage order. Otherwise, give it a Conceal order.

  1. Fight.
  2. Shoot.
  3. Charge the closest player operative that's within 4" of it via the shortest possible route.
  4. Reposition. If possible, to a location where there's a valid target that isn't obscured, if not, to a location that's appropriate for the NPOs to better win the mission (a subsequent Dash action can fulfil these).
  5. Dash. If possible, to a location where there's a valid target that isn't obscured, if not, to a location that's appropriate for the NPOs to better win the mission.

Allegiance: Tyranid: Will Of The Hive Mind:

Ignore the changes to Tyranid NPO and Tyranid Nemesis operatives' stats from being injured (including their weapon stats).

Trait: Armoured: With a tough hide of dense carapace or artificial plating, this operative can stride through hailstorms of the enemy's increasingly desperate small arms fire.

Whenever an operative is shooting this operative with a weapon that has a Normal Dmg stat of 3 or less, improve this operative's Save stat by 1.

Trait: Blitz: This warrior strikes the enemy like a thunderbolt, their fury-driven charge fuelling a flurry of savage blows against their enemy.

Whenever this operative performs the Charge action during its activation, its melee weapons have the Severe and Shock weapon rules until the end of that activation.

Trait: Duellist: Through exceptional parrying, deft evasion or the capacity to bodily deflect a foe's blows, this operative wears down enemy fighters.

Whenever this operative is fighting or retaliating, you can resolve one of its successes before the normal order. If you do, that success must be used to block.

Trait: Close-range Lethality: Those who venture too close to this destructive entity invite its full ire as it bends its will - and considerable firepower - to their swift eradication.

Whenever this operative is shooting the closest valid target within 8" of it, its ranged weapons have the Lethal 5+ weapon rule; if the weapon already has that weapon rule, it also has the Severe weapon rule.

Trait: Crushing Impact: Thundering headlong into the fray, this combatant uses both the impetus of their charge and their armoured bulk to bring swift death to their foes.

When this operative finishes moving during the Charge action, inflict D3+3 damage on one enemy operative within its control range.

Trait: Shielded: With an ablative outer skin, redundancy mechanisms or the ability to call upon esoteric protection, this operative can shrug off what should be a devastating blow.

Once per battle, when an attack dice inflicts damage on this operative, you can ignore that inflicted damage.

Trait: Tough: Some operatives are exceptionally hardy, capable of enduring even in the face of horrific wounds. Such a trait may be due to thickened endoskeletons, reinforced subsystems or even supernatural warding.

Whenever an attack dice inflicts damage of 4 or more on this operative, roll one D6: on a 5+, subtract 1 from that inflicted damage.

Trait: Violent Demise: From detonating ammunition stores to corrosive innards and frenzied death throes, some large targets are dangerous even in defeat.

If this operative is incapacitated, before it's removed from the killzone, inflict D6+1 damage on each other operative within 3" of it (excluding operatives with Heavy terrain wholly intervening between them and this operative).

Equipment

New Equipment:


Ploys

Strategic - New Ploy:


TacOps
Security: Plant Banner

Reveal: When you perform the Plant Banner action.

Mission Action: Plant Banner (1 AP)

  • Place your Banner mission marker within the active operative's control range, wholly within your opponent's territory and more than 5" from a neutral killzone edge. Operatives can perform the Pick Up Marker action on your Banner mission marker.
  • An operative cannot perform this action during the first turning point, while within control range of an enemy operative, or if a friendly operative has already performed this action during the battle.

Victory Points:

At the end of each turning point after the first, if your Banner mission marker is wholly within your opponent's territory and friendly operatives control it, you score 1VP; if that's true and no enemy operatives contest it, you score 2VP instead. Note your Banner mission marker must be in the killzone (not being carried) to score.


Security: Martyrs

Reveal: The first time a friendly operative is incapacitated while contesting an objective marker.

Additional Rules:

Whenever a friendly operative is incapacitated while contesting an objective marker, that marker gains one of your Martyr tokens.
Note that this is only the first time each operative is incapacitated, so if an operative is incapacitated, set back up (e.g. HIEROTEK CIRCLE Reanimation Protocols) and then subsequently incapacitated again, a second Martyr token cannot be gained as a result.

Victory Points:

At the end of each turning point after the first, if friendly operatives contest an objective marker that has one or more of your Martyr tokens, you can remove any of those tokens. For each token you remove, you score 1VP; if friendly operatives also control that marker, you score 2VP instead.

You cannot score more than 2VP from this op per turning point.


Security: Envoy

Reveal: The first time you select an envoy.

Additional Rules:

As a STRATEGIC GAMBIT in each turning point after the first, select one friendly operative to be your envoy until the Ready step of the next Strategy phase. You cannot select an operative you selected during a previous turning point or an operative that's ignored for the kill op.

Victory Points:

At the end of each turning point after the first, if your envoy is wholly within enemy territory and not within control range of enemy operatives, you score 1VP; if this is true and your envoy has not lost any wounds during that turning point, you score 2VP instead.
