Upon selecting this equipment option, you gain the following effects for the rest of the battle:

• Once per Turning Point, you can spend a CHEM token to perform a Mission, Pick Up, Place, or Open Hatch action for free.
• Once per Turning Point, you can spend a CHEM token to perform a Fall Back action for 1 less AP.

Once per battle, when a non-Commissar or Parole Officer operative is charged or chosen as the target of a shooting action, you can use the Prisoner Sacrifice ploy as if they were a Commissar or Parole Officer.

Once per battle, you can choose to reroll your initiative roll and/or force your opponent ot reroll their initiative roll.

Once per turning point, before a friendly Chem Dogs operative (excluding your Commander and your Parole Officer) takes an action, retaliates, or is selected as the primary target of a shooting action, if it does not have a CHEM token, you can choose to use this rule. If you do, give that operative a CHEM token. Once the action, retaliation, or shooting action is completed, remove that CHEM token as normal, and that operative takes D3-1 wounds. This rule can only be used on each Chem Dogs operative once.

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 ploy when a friendly operative with a CHEM token is Retaliating. That operative gains ONE of the following effects and has its CHEM token removed:

• You can resolve the first attack dice (i.e. defender instead of attacker).
• This operative's melee weapons have the Brutal keyword.
• This operative's melee weapons' hit stats are improved by one.

SUPPORT When a friendly Chem Dog operative with a CHEM token is activated, you can choose to use this ploy. If you do, remove that CHEM token and give it to another friendly Chem Dog operative within 6" who does not currently have a CHEM token.

Use this ploy when a Penal Legion Commissar or Penal Legion Parole Officer operative has been selected as the target of a shooting action or enemy charge. If you do, select a friendly Chem Dog operative within 3" of this operative and remove both operatives from the killzone, placing them back in each other's location (in other words, swap places).

Use this ploy when a friendly Chem Dog operative has activated, counteracted, or is retaliating. You can ignore the effects of being injured for that operative for the rest of the turning point.

When you use this ploy, you gain three Awareness points. Whenever a friendly Chem Dogs operative is the target of a shooting attack and has a CHEM token, you can choose to spend 1 Awareness point. If you do, that operative's save stat is improved by 1 for the duration of that shooting attack. Afterwards, that CHEM token is removed.

When you use this ploy, you gain three Ammo points. Whenever a friendly Chem Dogs operative is shooting, fighting, or retaliating, you can choose to spend 1 Ammo point. If you do, improve both damage stats of that operative's Bolter* weapons by 1 for the duration of that shoot, fight, or retaliation (to a maximum of 4/5 damage).

At the end of each Turning Point, any leftover Ammo points are discarded.

*A Bolter weapon is any weapon with the word "Bolt" or "Bolter" in the title.

SUPPORT While this ploy is active, friendly Chem Dog operatives who are visible to and within 6" of a friendly Penal Legion Commander or Penal Legion Parole Officer operative can use this rule when selecting a valid target for a shooting action. If you do, having other friendly Chem Dog operatives within an enemy operative's engagement range doesn't prevent that enemy operative from being selected as a valid target.

You can move up to 3 Chem Dog operatives who have CHEM tokens up to 4", but you must remove their CHEM tokens afterwards.

You cannot use this Ploy after the first Turning Point.
