A Pattern of Grenade based in ancient Xenotech, these grenades are designed to compromise armor and deliver debilitating poisons, capable of crippling heavy armored opponents, and outright killing those without such protection.

Friendly HEADHUNTER STEALTH SQUAD operatives have the following ranged weapon (you cannot select it for use more than twice during the battle):

Venom Sphere:

ATK: 4. HIT: 4+. Damage: 2/3. Blast 2, Piercing 1, Silent

Cloaks capable of altering their color to match the wearer's surroundings, armed with these a Headhunter can remain motionless for weeks at a time, unseen by those even mere inches away.

While a friendly HEADHUNTER STEALTH SQUAD operative has a conceal order, is not within engagement range of an enemy operative, and could retain a cover save when an enemy operative is shooting it, you may retain one additional cover save, or you can retain one cover save as a critical success instead. This isn’t cumulative with improved cover saves from Vantage terrain.

Rare armor components made from Mica Skydrake scales, these highly reflective and heat resistant materials are capable of nullifying enemy weapons that deal in energy or flame.

Subtract 1" from the Move stat of friendly HEADHUNTER STEALTH SQUAD operatives; until the end of the battle whenever an enemy operative is shooting a friendly HEADHUNTER STEALTH SQUAD operative weapons with the Piercing 2 or Piercing Crits 2 weapon rule have the Piercing 1 or Piercing Crits 1 weapon rule (respectively), and weapons with Torrent have their torrent range reduced to 0"(weapons with Torrent 2", or Torrent 1" now have Torrent 0"). In the Gallowdark and Tombworld killzones, as well as Volkus strongholds, weapons with torrent do not gain Lethal 5+ when shooting a friendly HEADHUNTER STEALTH SQUAD operative.

These rules excludes HYDRA CULT AGENT operatives.

A devices capable of injecting lines of scrap code into enemy communications. Once deployed; enemy command structures collapse, no longer capable of delivering valuable information between eachother.

Strategic Gambit: Select one enemy operative that is visible to and within 6 inches of a friendly HEADHUNTER STEALTH SQUAD operative. Until the end of the battleround that operative cannot be the target of SUPPORT abilities.

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.

Commanders of the Alpha legion are rarely where they appear to be. More often than not the armor of commander may house a new recruit and vice versa.

Use this firefight ploy the first time a friendly operative with the leader keyword is incapacitated. Select another friendly HEADHUNTER STEALTH SQUAD operative (excluding HYDRA CULT AGENT operatives). Remove that. selected operative from the killzone and replace it with that leader operative. That leader operative has a number of wounds remaining equal to the removed operative's number of remaining wounds. For the sake of the Kill Op, only count one of these two operatives as incapacitated.

The Cult of the hydra infiltrates many branches of the galaxy at large, giving the legion weapons in the most unexpected of locations.

Use this firefight ploy at any point during friendly HEDHUNTER STEALTH SQUAD operative's activation in place of one of it actions. Select one of your HYDRA CULT AGENT operatives; that operative makes a free shoot action using its Concealed Explosives, regardless of its order, and does so even if it is not within control range of an enemy (it still must be the primary target of that shoot action). That operative Concealed Explosives gains the Shock weapon rule until that end of that shooting action.

The Headhunter Squads are experts of disguise and subterfuge, and can leave their targets feeling not only Disordered, but doubting the loyalties of those they once they thought closest to them.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly HEADHUNTER STEALTH SQUAD operative (excluding HYDRA CULT AGENT operatives), is fighting or retaliating while within engagement range of two enemy operatives, or while the enemy opertive is fighting or retaliating against has support. Until the end of that HEADHUNTER STEALTH SQUAD operative's activation, your opponent may not re-roll dice for operatives within 3" of that operative, and as long as enemy operatives are within 3" of that HEADHUTER STEALTH SQUAD operative, their have the hit stat of their melee weapons worsened by 1*(to a maximum of 6+)*.

The Doctrines of the the Headhunter squads were known for the lack of honor before the legion's fall from grace. As traitors, there is nothing the Legionaires won't attempt to bring Down a target.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly HEADHUNTER STEALTH SQUAD is retaliating and you would resolve a critical success. Instead of striking or blocking, end that sequence (any remaining attack dice are discarded) and immediately perform a free Shoot action with that operative (then the Fight action ends). That operative can do so even if it’s performed an action that prevents it from performing the shoot action, and even if it is engaged with an enemy(it does not have to target the unit it waa retaliating against with that shoot action).

The Alpha legion are experts in subterfuge, and can leave trails of breadcrumbs that lead to nowhere, allowing them to escape while their opponents chase false leads.

Each friendly HEADHUNTER STEALTH SQUAD operative with an engage order (Except for HYDRA CULT AGENT operatives) may change to a conceal order.

The Alpha Legion are experts at not only remaining unseen, but making sure they are seen precisely where they are not.

Until the end of the turning point all friendly HEAD HUNTER STEALTH SQUAD operativess are treated as being 3" further away from enemy operatices they are not within the control of, for the purposes of weapon rules and Datacard abilities(this includes Torrent, Blast, and any weapons with the Range weapon rule).

The Alpha Legion combat doctrine is based around not only subterfuge, but also supreme positioning, moving in ways can result in their targets wandering from one trap into another.

Select up to 3 friendly HEADHUNTER STEALTH SQUAD operatives that are wholly within your territory. Each of those operatives may make a free Reposition or Fall back action, but may not move more 3" while doing so.

Banestrike Ammunition is rumored to have been a gift from the twin primarchs. Those of the legion who are lucky enough to wield such a rare armament are careful to only expend it when the perfect shopt is all but guranteed.

Until the end of the turning point, each time a friendly HEADHUNTER STEALTH SQUAD operative makes a shoot action using the "Banestrike Ammunition" profile of one of it's ranged weapons, that weapon has the Balanced Weapon Rule and loses the Range 10" weapon rule until the end of that activation. Note that Bolt Pistols will maintain the Range 8" weapon rule.
