Krootox Stampede - (work in process)

The idea is that you have 4 specialist Krootox Riders that play fast and impose sudden violence over a large area. The operatives care about keeping themselves moving with momentum, and can get away with being practically a melee-only team by attempting to hide in combat with enemy operatives. Everything on these guys is about pure stats: overwhelming force, but zero consistency. Almost no access to rerolls, just keywords that make melee a threat or are able to hinder enemy operatives in some way. The Herd Shaper allows access to a free Strat Ploy and makes the Kroothawk better. The preycatcher can drag someone into melee with him. The RampartBreaker can charge through a wall (KoolAidMan-style) once per game and breach the wall. And the Vox-Mimic interferes with enemy operatives orders, but has no serious combat advantage like the others. Lastly, the Kroothawk exists for zoning, and trying to move-block enemies to kite them towards the Krootox instead.

Rules: STAMPEDE: Whenever a friendly KROOTOX operative performs a Dash, Charge, or RAMPAGE action, give it a Momentum token, to a maximum of one. While an operative has a Momentum token, add 2" to its Move stat. (The token is added after the movement, meaning that the additional 2" will not be added until the operative's next movement).

Remove an operative’s Momentum tokens if it performs a Fall Back action or does not perform a Dash, Charge, or RAMPAGE action during a Turning Point.

Friendly KROOTOX operatives can perform the following unique action:

RAMPAGE - 1 AP This operative can perform this action only if it has incapacitated an enemy operative during this activation. Make a free 4" Reposition. This move must end within Engagement Range of an enemy operative.

Beastly Vigor: During each friendly KROOTOX STAMPEDE MOUNTED operative’s activation, it can perform two Fight actions.

Each friendly KROOTOX STAMPEDE MOUNTED operative can counteract regardless of its order. Whenever it does, it can move up to 4" instead of 2", and can perform a free Rampage action

Evasive BirdFly1AP: Herd the Prey

Evasive Bird: - This operative cannot perform any actions other than Herd the Prey, Charge, Dash, Fall Back, Fight and Reposition.

Whenever determining control of an objective marker, treat this operative’s APL stat as 1 lower. Note this isn’t a change to its APL stat, so any changes are cumulative with this.
Whenever an operative is shooting this operative, ignore the Piercing weapon rule.
This operative is ignored for your opponent’s kill/elimination op (when it’s incapacitated, and when determining your starting number of operatives). It’s also ignored for victory conditions and scoring VPs if either require operatives to ‘escape’, ‘survive’ or be incapacitated by enemy operatives (if it escapes/survives/is incapacitated, determining how many operatives must escape/survive/be incapacitated, etc.).

Fly: Whenever this operative performs an action in which it moves, it can FLY. If it does, don’t move it. Instead, remove it from the killzone and set it back up wholly within a distance equal to its Move stat (or 3" if it was a Dash) horizontally of its original location. In a killzone that uses the close quarters rules, this distance cannot be measured over or through Wall terrain, and this operative cannot be set up on the other side of an access point.

Herd the Prey (1AP): Select one enemy operative within visible to this operative. Until the end of the Turning Point, whenever that operative performs a Move, Dash or Fall Back action, it cannot finish that action within 3" of this operative.

Linebreaker Knuckles

Whenever a friendly KROOTOX STAMPEDE MOUNTED operative enters an enemy operative's control range, that enemy operative suffers 1 wound.

Toughened Hides

Once per turning point, during a friendly KROOTOX STAMPEDE MOUNTED operative’s activation or counteraction, before or after it performs an action. Until the start of its next activation, you can ignore any changes to that operative's weapon and movement stats from being injured

Battering Harness

Once during each friendly KROOTOX STAMPEDE MOUNTED operative's activation, if that operative performs a Charge or Dash action, it can move through one piece of Light terrain during that action as though it were not there.

Borthrod Glands

Once per turning point, whenever a KROOTOX STAMPEDE MOUNTED operative incapacitates an enemy operative while Fighitng or Retaliating, it can regain up to D3+1 lost wounds.

Universal Equipment

Ammo Cache (x1)

(Universal)

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 (x1)

(Universal)

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".

Comms Device (x1)

(Universal)

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.

Mines (x1)

(Universal)

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 (x2)

(Universal)

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.

Heavy Barricade (x1)

(Universal)

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 (x2)

(Universal)

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.

Portable Barricade (x1)

(Universal)

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.

Utility Grenade - Smoke (x1/2)

(Universal)

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.

Utility Grenade - Stun (x1/2)

(Universal)

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.

Explosive Grenade - Frag (x1/2)

Breaching Charge

(Universal)

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.

Firefight: Ram the Hatch

Use this firefight ploy during a friendly KROOTOX STAMPEDE MOUNTED operative’s Charge action. If its Charge movement would cross a doorway with a movement penalty, it can ignore that doorway’s movement penalty and continue the Charge. If it crosses a closed Hatchway, open that Hatchway without spending AP and continue the Charge. Then, roll one D6 for each enemy operative within 1" of that Hatchway. On a 4+, that operative suffers 2 damage.
