Abilities
AstartesMission Tactics*Storm ShieldEquipment
Beacon Angelis
Once per battle, at the end of the firefight phase you may remove a LONG VIGIL operative that is not within engagement range from the killzone. In the next turning point as a Strategic Gambit you then place them wholly within 6" of your drop zone and more than 6" from enemy operatives. Treat this operative as having performed a reposition action.
Vortex Bolts
Once per turning point, when a friendly LONG VIGIL operative is shooting with a bolt weapon, that weapon gains the Devastating 1 weapon rule.
Purity Seals
Once per turning point, when a friendly LONG VIGIL operative is shooting, fighting or retaliating, if you roll two or more fails, you can discard one of them to retain another as a normal success instead.
Auspex
Once per turning point, when a friendly ANGEL OF DEATH operative performs the Shoot action and you’re selecting a valid target, you can use this rule. If you do, until the end of the activation (or counteraction), enemy operatives within 8" of it cannot be obscured.
Ploys
And They Shall Know No Fear
Strategy PloyYou can ignore any changes to the stats of friendly LONG VIGIL operatives from being injured.
Chapter Rivalries
Strategy PloyWhenever a friendly LONG VIGIL operative is shooting or retaliating, if it’s within 3" of another friendly LONG VIGIL operative, that first friendly operative’s ranged weapons have the Severe weapon rule.
Sanction of the Black Vault
Strategy PloyOnce per game, use at the start of any turning point. You may exchange one equipment for another so long as they are not limited and have been used. If either equipment is deployed, as long as no other enemy operatives are within 3", you may remove it from the battlefield and then deploy the new pieces of equipment more than 3" from enemy operatives. You must also follow any other placement rules for that equipment.
Targeting Scramblers
Strategy PloyWhenever an enemy operative is shooting against, fighting against or retaliating against a friendly LONG VIGIL operative within 2" of it, your opponent cannot re-roll their attack dice results of 1.
Adaptive Tactics
Firefight PloyUse this firefight ploy during a friendly LONG VIGIL operative's activation, before or after it performs an action. You may change the MISSION TACTIC you selected.
Ever Vigilant
Firefight PloyWhenever this operative is fighting or retaliating, you can resolve one of your successes before the normal order. If you do, that success must be used to block.
Atonement Through Honor
Firefight PloyUse this firefight ploy when a ready friendly LONG VIGIL operative is incapacitated, if it is not within control range of enemy operatives. Before it is removed from the killzone, it can immediately perform one free action. Unless otherwise specified, the operative would be injured for this.
Transhuman Physiology
Firefight PloyUse this firefight ploy when an operative is shooting a friendly LONG VIGIL operative, in the Roll Defence Dice step. You can retain one of your normal successes as a critical success instead.
Tac Ops
Sweep & Clear
Seek And DestroyReveal: The first time an enemy operative is incapacitated while contesting an objective marker, or the first time a friendly operative performs the Clear action (whichever comes first).
Additional Rules:
When an enemy operative that contests an objective marker is incapacitated, that objective marker gains one of your Swept tokens (if it doesn't already have one) until the Ready step of the next Strategy phase.
Mission Action: Clear (1 AP)
- An objective marker the active operative controls is cleared for the turning point.
- An operative cannot perform this action during the first turning point, or while within control range of an enemy operative.
Victory Points:
- At the end of each turning point after the first, if friendly operatives control any objective markers that have one of your Swept tokens, you score 1VP.
- If this is true and any of those objective markers are also cleared, you score 2VP instead.
You cannot score more than 2VP from this op per turning point.

Additional Rules:
Each time a friendly operative incapacitates an enemy operative, that friendly operative gains one of your Dominate tokens.

You cannot score more than 3VP from this op per turning point.
Rout
Seek And DestroyReveal: The first time you score VP from this op.

Martyrs
SecurityReveal: The first time a friendly operative is incapacitated while contesting an objective marker.
Additional Rules:
Whenever a friendly operative is incapacitated while contesting an objective marker, that marker gains one of your Martyr tokens.

Victory Points:
At the end of each turning point after the first, if friendly operatives contest an objective marker that has one or more of your Martyr tokens, you can remove any of those tokens. For each token you remove, you score 1VP; if friendly operatives also control that marker, you score 2VP instead.
You cannot score more than 2VP from this op per turning point.
Envoy
SecurityReveal: The first time you select an envoy.
Additional Rules:
As a STRATEGIC GAMBIT in each turning point after the first, select one friendly operative to be your envoy until the Ready step of the next Strategy phase. You cannot select an operative you selected during a previous turning point or an operative that's ignored for the kill op.
Victory Points:
At the end of each turning point after the first, if your envoy is wholly within enemy territory and not within control range of enemy operatives, you score 1VP; if this is true and your envoy has not lost any wounds during that turning point, you score 2VP instead.
