Standard equipment among the Steel Legion, the masks protect the wearer against many battlefield hazards.

All friendly operatives are immune to poisons of any kind. In addition, friendly operatives ignore the Shock rule for enemy weapon profiles.

During the attritional warfare on Armageddon, blunt weapons are often preferred to bayonets.

All friendly operatives receive the following melee weapon: 3 attacks, 4+ to hit, 3/3 damage, Stun.

"Don't worry about our flanks, let the enemy worry about theirs" - Lieutenant Harnak of the 112th Steel Legion.

This Killteam is part of the main armoured thrust in the sector. As a result, it is expected to breakthrough enemy positions regardless of casualties.

Whenever you activate an operative first during a turning point, roll a D6. On a 4+ receive an additional CP. Only two CPs can be gained this way during a Killteam game.

Fully aware that many Legionnaries spend much of their time in the back of Chimeras, the Steel Legion's weaponry is often shorter and lighter than those of other imperial regiments.

Once per turning point, the Heavy (dash) rule on a weapon profile can be ignored during an operative's activation.

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.

If a friendly operative is injured, then the controlling player can choose to remove this operative from the Killzone. For the sake of the KillOp, the enemy player does not get to count this operative as a casualty, although it is still included in the total number of starting operatives for calculating KillOp points.

This ploy cannot be played on friendly operatives in control range of an enemy operative or if the operative in question is fully in the opponent's half of the killzone. This ploy can only be played at most twice per Killteam game.

After you have rolled your attack dice for a shooting attack, if another operative has already shot at the enemy operative earlier in the turning point, you can choose to reroll as many dice as you would like. No dice that have already been rerolled can be rolled again.

If an operative is incapacitated, it can carry out a 1AP mission action before it is removed from the killzone.

The activated friendly operative becomes 3AP for the duration of its activation for the purposes of carrying out actions. However, it receives -1 AP after its activation ends for the next turning point. For the purposes of contesting objectives during and after the activation, as well as during the next turning point, the friendly operative counts as 1AP unless it is raised back to 2AP by the commsman's Modern comms rule.

Against enemy operatives with the Ork or Chaos keyword, if friendly operatives are fighting or retaliating and are incapacitated in melee, they can utilise one of their remaining attack dice to strike on death before they are removed from the Killzone.

Make a shoot action with a heavy bolter profile (range unlimited, 4+ to hit, 5 attacks, 4/5, Piercing (crits)) from the edge of the friendly player's killzone. For the purpose of line of sight, cover and obscuring the shooting attack is deemed to come from a point 4" above the killzone floor.

If a friendly operative has moved during the turning point (including via the NCO's mission tactics ability), then it can reroll one defence dice against shooting attacks.

Friendly operatives' melee weapons receive the Balanced rule when fighting or retaliating. If at least one of the enemy operatives in control range of the friendly operative has a higher starting APL stat than 2 (ignoring modifiers and special rules), then the melee weapons receive the Ceaseless rule instead.
