Command Protocols: Kill Teams without LEADER operatives are not considered Routed only for the Command Phase and Conquer Phase.

Living Metal: In the Ready step of each Strategy phase, after resolving all other rules in this step (e.g. Reanimation Protocols faction rule), each friendly NECRON operative regains 2 lost wounds.

Reanimation Protocols: The first time each friendly HIEROTEK CIRCLE operative is incapacitated, before it’s removed from the killzone, place one of your Reanimation markers within its control range. Then remove it as incapacitated

• In the Ready step of each Strategy phase, select one of your Reanimation markers and roll one 1D6: On a 1-2, leave that Reanimation marker in the killzone and repeat this process with a different one of your Reanimation markers (if any); on a 3+, an operative is REANIMATED.

Whenever an operative is REANIMATED:

• Set up the operative that Reanimation marker was placed for (it’s no longer incapacitated). It must be placed within 3" of that Reanimation marker and not within the control range of enemy operatives (if you cannot do so, treat the roll as 1-2 instead).
• It has 1 Wound remaining.
• It has an order of your choice and is ready.
• Remove that Reanimation marker.

RELENTLESS ONSLAUGHT (Strategy Ploy): Whenever a friendly NECRON operative is shooting an operative within 8” of it, that friendly operative’s ranged weapons have the Balanced weapon rule.

UNDYING ANDROIDS (Strategy Ploy): Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly NECRON operative, if you cannot retain any cover saves, you can retain one of your defence dice as a normal success without rolling it.

REANIMATED FUNCTION (Tactical Ploy): Use this tactical ploy when determining control of a marker. Select one of your Reanimation markers. Until the start of the next turning point, whenever determining control of a marker, treat that Reanimation marker as a friendly NECRON operative that has an APL stat of 1.

COMMENCE REANIMATION (Tactical Ploy): Use this Tactical Ploy when a friendly HIEROTEK CIRCLE operative is incapacitated for the first time during the battle. That operative attempts reanimation.

Augment Weapon (1 AP): SUPPORT Select one friendly NECRON operative visible to and within 6" of this operative. Until the start of this operative's next activation, until it is incapacitated or until this action is performed again by a friendly operative (whichever comes first), select two of the following weapon rules for one weapon from that selected operative's datacard to have:

• Lethal 5+

• Rending

• Saturate

• Severe

Note that if you select a staff of light or arcane conduit, you only select the additional weapon rules for either the ranged or melee profile of that weapon. This operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative.

Canoptek Repair (1 AP): SUPPORT Select one friendly NECRON operative visible to and within 6" of this operative to regain up to 2D3 lost wounds.

This operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or if a friendly operative has already performed this action during this turning point.

Interstitial Command (1 AP): SUPPORT Select one other friendly NECRON operative (excluding CRYPTEK) visible to and within 6" of this operative, or within 6" of a friendly LEADER operative that is visible to this operative. That selected operative can immediately perform a 1AP action for free; it cannot move more than or be removed and set up more than 2" during that action, perform an action it has already performed during this turning point, or perform that action again during this turning point.

This operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or while counteracting.

Magnify: Whenever this operative is performing the Shoot action with this weapon, if the target is visible to this operative, and another friendly CRYPTEK operative that has an Engage order and isn't within control range of enemy operatives is visible to this operative, you can use this rule. If you do, treat that operative as the active operative for the purposes of determining a valid target, cover, and obscured. If you do, this weapon has the Ceaseless weapon rule until the end of that action.

Reinforce Metal (1 AP): SUPPORT Select one friendly NECRON operative visible to and within 6" of this operative. Until the start of this operative's next activation, until it is incapacitated or until this action is performed again by a friendly operative (whichever comes first), whenever an attack dice inflicts damage of 3 or more on that operative, subtract 1 from that inflicted damage.

This operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative.

Resurrection Orb: Once per battle, in the Ready step of the Strategy phase, when you roll a 1-2 for a Reanimation marker visible to and within 6” of this operative, you can use this rule. If you do, treat that roll as a 3+ instead.

Royal Presence: Whenever determining control of a marker, treat this operative’s APL stat as 4. Note this isn’t a change to its APL stat, so any changes are cumulative with this.

Strategise (1 AP): You gain 1CP. This operative cannot perform this action while within 3'' of an enemy operative.

Phalanx Cohort: Whenever determining control of a marker, if this operative is visible to and within 3” of another friendly WARRIOR or FLAYED ONE operative, you can treat this and that operative’s APL stat as 3. If you do, this takes precedence over all other rules, meaning any changes to its APL stat are ignored for this.

SKULKING KILLER (Strategy Ploy): Until the end of the Turning Point, friendly FLAYED ONE operatives gain the following ability:

• Skulking Killer: This operative can perform a Charge action while it has a Conceal order.

INTRACTABLE MARCH (Strategy Ploy): Until the end of the Turning Point, while a friendly WARRIOR or FLAYED ONE operative has an Engage order, add 2'' to its Movement characteristic.

UNSTABLE PARTICLES (Strategy Ploy): Until the end of the Turning Point, friendly operatives' Gauss weapons gain the Piercing Crits 2 and Hot keywords.

SOULLESS HUSKS (Strategy Ploy): You can ignore any changes to the stats of friendly WARRIOR or FLAYED ONE operatives from being injured.

FROM THE SKIN DIMENSION (Tactical Ploy): Use this tactical ploy during the Set Up Operatives step if your kill team includes one or more friendly FLAYED ONE operatives. You can only use this ploy once. One friendly FLAYED ONE operative need not be set up. At the end of any turning point after the first, set that operative up wholly within 1” of terrain and more than 6” from enemy operatives, in a location it can be placed. It has an order of your choice.

THEY SHALL RISE AGAIN (Tactical Ploy): Use this tactical ploy when a friendly operative attempts Reanimation. It succeeds on a 2+ instead of a 3+.

SILVER TIDE (Tactical Ploy): Use this Tactical Ploy when a friendly WARRIOR or FLAYED ONE operative is activated. That operative and another WARRIOR or FLAYED ONE operative gain Group Activation

NECRODERMIS SHELL (Tactical Ploy): Use this tactical ploy when an operative is shooting a friendly WARRIOR or FLAYED ONE operative, in the Roll Defence Dice step. You can retain one of your normal successes as a critical success instead.

Demand (0AP): Select one friendly DEATHMARK or IMMORTAL operative Visible to and within 6'' of this operative. Once during this Turning Point, when the selected friendly operative is fighting in combat, making a shooting attack or a shooting attack is being made against it, you can use the Command Re-roll Tactical Ploy without spending any Command points.

METHODICAL ELIMINATION (Strategy Ploy): Friendly IMMORTAL or DEATHMARK operatives’ melee weapons have the Accurate 1 weapon rule. Whenever a friendly IMMORTAL or DEATHMARK operative is fighting during an activation in which it hasn’t moved more than its Move stat, or whenever it’s retaliating, its melee weapons have the Accurate 2 weapon rule instead.

COMMAND THE PHALANX (Strategy Ploy): SUPPORT. Each other friendly IMMORTAL or DEATHMARK operative visible to and within 6" of a friendly LEADER operative can immediately perform a free Dash action in an order of your choice.

DIMENSIONAL CONCEALMENT (Strategy Ploy): Until the end of the Turning Point, friendly DEATHMARK operatives can perform the following action:

• Dimensional Concealment: Change this operative’s order.

ERADICATION DOCTRINE (Strategy Ploy): Until the end of the Turning Point, each time a friendly IMMORTAL operative is activated, if it does not perform a Fight action during that activation, it can perform two Shoot actions during that activation.

LIVING LIGHTNING (Tactical Ploy): Use this tactical ploy when a friendly IMMORTAL operative is performing the Shoot action and you select a tesla carbine. Until the end of that action, that weapon doesn’t have the 2" from its Devastating weapon rule but has the Blast 2" weapon rule.

DIMENSIONAL AMBUSH (Tactical Ploy): Use this tactical ploy during a friendly HIEROTEK CIRCLE DEATHMARK operative’s activation, if it has a Conceal order. During that activation, that operative can perform the Guard action regardless of the killzone and while it has a Conceal order, but when you perform the free Shoot or Fight action during the interruption, you must change its order to Engage.

DIMENSIONAL TRANSLOCATION (Tactical Ploy): Use this Tactical Ploy in the Set Up Operatives step, when you would set up operatives. Select one friendly DEATHMARK operative to be set up in a hyperspace dimension instead. In the Firefight phase of the first Turning Point, that operative is considered to be within the killzone for activation purposes and must be activated as normal. When it is, set it up with an order of your choice anywhere in the killzone that is more than 6'' from the enemy drop zone and enemy operatives. That operative is treated as having performed a Normal Move action (subtract action points accordingly), then continue its activation as normal. You can only use this Tactical Ploy once.

FEEL NO PAIN (Tactical Ploy): Use this tactical ploy when a friendly IMMORTAL or DEATHMARK operative is selected as the valid target of a shoot action or to fight against during the Fight action. Each time that operative would lose a wound, roll one D6: on a 5+, that wound is not lost.

INSTINCTIVE PRECISION (Strategy Ploy): Until the end of the turning point, Friendly LOKHUST DESTROYER or HEAVY DESTROYER operatives replace Accurate 1 with Accurate 2 for the Annihilation Protocol rule.

DEATH'S MARK (Strategy Ploy): Select up to 2 enemy operatives at the end of this turning point that are within engagement range of one or more friendly LOKHUST DESTROYER or HEAVY DESTROYER, until the end of their next activation. treat their apl as 1 less.

PREDATOR AUTOMATONS (Strategy Ploy): Whenever a friendly LOKHUST DESTROYER or HEAVY DESTROYER operative performs the Shoot action, you can use this rule. If you do, until the end of that action, that friendly operative’s ranged weapons have the Range 6” and Seek Light weapon rules.

MADNESS CONSUMES US (Strategy Ploy): Until the end of the turning point, when a friendly LOKHUST DESTROYER or HEAVY DESTROYER operative performs the Shoot action and you are selecting a valid target, having other friendly NECRON operatives within an enemy operative's control range does not prevent that enemy operative from being selected. Until the end of that action, whenever you discard an attack die as a fail, inflict damage equal to the die result on one friendly operative of your choice within control range of the target.

HYPER FIXATION (Tactical Ploy): When a friendly LOKHUST DESTROYER or HEAVY DESTROYER operative performs a mission or a pickup/put-down marker action, ignore the Insanity's Ire rule regarding AP cost.

This operative cannot perform this action if they have already performed the fallback action this turn.

RECALIBRATED SHOOTING (Tactical Ploy): Use this Tactical Ploy during a friendly LOKHUST DESTROYER or HEAVY DESTROYER operative's activation, after it fights in combat or makes a shooting attack. If the target did not lose any wounds as a result of that combat or shooting attack, repeat that combat or shooting attack

INTERNALISED HATRED (Tactical Ploy): When a friendly operative is incapacitated by an enemy operative as a result of a shooting attack. treat that enemy operative as the closest visible target for one friendly LOKHUST DESTROYER or HEAVY DESTROYER operative this turning point when performing the shoot action/counteraction

THE SPOOR OF FRAILTY (Tactical Ploy): Use this ploy when a friendly operative with the LOKHUST DESTROYER or HEAVY DESTROYER keyword is targeting a valid enemy operative. treat that operative as the closest visible target for the Annihilation Protocol for this friendly operative if the target has a higher total wounds characteristic than the current closest visible target.

BLIND RAGE (Strategy Ploy): Until the end of the turning point, Friendly SKORPEKH DESTROYER or OPHIDIAN DESTROYER operatives replace balanced with ceaseless for the faction rule.

THE COURT DEMANDS FLESH (Strategy Ploy): Whenever an enemy operative would perform the Fall Back action while within control range of a friendly SKORPEKH DESTROYER or OPHIDIAN DESTROYER operative, if no other enemy operatives are within that friendly operative’s control range, you can use this rule. If you do, roll two D6, or one D6 if that enemy operative has a higher Wounds stat than that friendly operative. If any result is a 4+, that enemy operative cannot perform that action during that activation/counteraction (no AP are spent on it).

AVALANCHE OF METAL (Strategy Ploy): Whenever a friendly SKORPEKH DESTROYER or OPHIDIAN DESTROYER operative is activated, if the first action it performs during that activation is the Charge action, when it ends its move during that action, you can inflict D3 damage on one enemy operative within its control range.

HATRED FOR LIFE (Strategy Ploy): Whenever a friendly SKORPEKH DESTROYER or OPHIDIAN DESTROYER operative is fighting against or retaliating against a wounded enemy operative, you can re-roll one of your attack dice.

TRANSDIMENSIONAL HUNTERS (Tactical Ploy): Use this tactical ploy during a friendly SKORPEKH DESTROYER or OPHIDIAN DESTROYER operative’s activation, when it performs an action in which it moves. Until the end of that activation, that operative can move through parts of terrain features as if they were not there, but must end those moves in a location it can be placed.

ADAPTIVE NECRODERMIS (Tactical Ploy): Use this tactical ploy when an attack dice inflicts Normal Dmg on a friendly SKORPEKH DESTROYER or OPHIDIAN DESTROYER operative. That attack dice inflicts 1 damage instead.

COURT OF MURDER (Tactical Ploy): Use this tactical ploy after a friendly SKORPEKH DESTROYER or OPHIDIAN DESTROYER operative incapacitates an enemy operative whin its control range. That friendly operative can immediately perform a free Charge or Dash action (for the former, it cannot move more than 3") even if it has performed an action that prevents it from performing the Charge or Dash action.

CONFUSING MADNESS (Tactical Ploy): Use this tactical ploy when your opponent would activate an enemy operative that is visible to a friendly SKORPEKH DESTROYER or OPHIDIAN DESTROYER operative. Roll one D6; if the result is higher than that enemy operative's APL stat, your opponent cannot activate it during this activation; if the result is less than or equal to that enemy operative's APL stat, this ploy is not used, the CP spent on it is refunded and you cannot use this ploy again during this turning point. If there are no other enemy operatives eligible to be activated, this ploy has no effect.

VETERANS OF THE WAR IN HEAVEN (Strategy Ploy): Until the end of the Turning Point, each time Critical Damage would be inflicted upon a friendly LYCHGUARD or PRAETORIAN operative from an attack dice, you can choose for that attack dice to inflict Normal Damage instead.

UNRELENTING ASSAULT (Strategy Ploy): Whenever a friendly LYCHGUARD or PRAETORIAN operative is fighting during an activation in which it performed the charge action, its melee weapons have the Ceaseless weapon rule.

ARTIFICE OF AEONS (Strategy Ploy): Whenever an enemy operative is shooting a friendly LYCHGUARD or PRAETORIAN operative who is within range of an objective marker or a mission marker, you may re-roll one of your defense dice.

GUARDIAN PROTOCOL (Strategy Ploy): Until the end of the turning point, whenever a friendly LYCHGUARD or PRAETORIAN operative is retaliating within 6" of a LEADER operative, you resolve the first attack dice. (i.e. defender instead of attacker)

LEECH POWER (Tactical Ploy): Use this Tactical Ploy when a friendly LEADER operative is activated. Select one friendly WARRIOR operative within 2'' of that LEADER operative. If that other friendly operative’s APL is not negatively modified (in total after applying all modifiers), subtract 1 from its APL and add 1 to that LEADER operative’s APL.

SUBSERVIENCE PROTOCOL (Tactical Ploy): Use this tactical ploy during a friendly LYCHGUARD or PRAETORIAN operative’s activation. Until the end of that activation, that operative can perform a free shoot or fight action if the selected target is within range of an objective marker or one of your mission markers. It may not use this ploy when counteracting.

TERRITORIAL OBSESSION (Tactical Ploy): Use this tactical ploy when activating a friendly LYCHGUARD or PRAETORIAN operative. Whenever determining control of a marker, treat this operative's APL stat as 1 higher. Note this is not a change to its APL stat, so any changes are cumulative with this.

ENGRAMMATIC OVERRIDE (Tactical Ploy): Use this tactical ploy when a friendly LYCHGUARD or PRAETORIAN operative is incapacitated while fighting or retaliating. You can strike the enemy operative in that sequence with one of your unresolved successes before it’s removed from the killzone.

Flesh Hunger: The first time during each of this operative’s activations that it incapacitates an enemy operative during the Fight action, it regains up to D3+1 lost wounds.

Deathmarked: Whenever this operative ends the Shoot action, the target gains one of your DEATHMARKed tokens if it wasn’t incapacitated (the primary target, if relevant). Whenever a friendly DEATHMARK operative is shooting an enemy operative that has one of your Deathmarked tokens, that friendly operative’s ranged weapons have the Seek weapon rule.

Tunnelling Horror (2 AP): When this operative is selected to perform a dash or reposition action, instead. remove it from the kill zone and place it back within 8" of its previous possition.

Gravity Displacement Pack: Once per turning point, when this operative is performing the Charge or Reposition action during its activation, 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 of its original location, measuring the horizontal distance only. In a killzone that uses the close quarters rules (e.g. Killzone: Gallowdark), this distance cannot be measured over or through Wall terrain, and that operative cannot be set up on the other side of an access point (in other words, it cannot FLY through an open hatchway). Note that it gains no additional distance when performing the Charge action. It must be set up in a location it can be placed, and unless it’s the Charge action, it cannot be set up within control range of an enemy operative.

Chittering Swarm: While this operative is within the control range of an enemy operative, whenever determining control of a marker, treat that enemy operative's APL stat as 1 lower. (Note this is not a change to its APL stat, so any changes are cumulative with this.)

Mindless Construct: In the Firefight Phase, whenever you determine this operative's order, you cannot select Conceal. This operative cannot perform any actions other than Charge, Dash, Fight, Reposition, and Shoot, or use any weapons that are not on its data card.

Scutter: - Whenever this operative has a Conceal order and is in cover, it cannot be selected as a valid target, taking precedence over all other rules (e.g. Seek, Vantage terrain) except being within 2".

• This operative can perform the Fall Back action for 1 less AP.
• This operative cannot use any weapons that aren’t on its datacard, or perform unique actions other than Accelerate and Reanimate.
