Operatives

Equipment

Baleful Script

Once per battle STRATEGIC GAMBIT. Change one of your ACCURSED GIFTS. Note that if it is an ACCURSED GIFT an operative has from the Abhorrent Mutation firefight ploy, only that operative benefits from this.

Covert Guises

After revealing this equipment option, roll one D3. As a STRATEGIC GAMBIT in the first turning point, a number of friendly CHAOS CULT DEVOTEE operatives equal to the result that are wholly within your drop zone can immediately perform a free Reposition action, but must end that move wholly within 3" of your drop zone.

Unholy Talisman

Once per turning point, when an operative is shooting a friendly CHAOS CULT operative, in the Roll Defence Dice step, you can retain one of your normal successes as a critical success instead.

Vile Blessing

Once per battle, when an attack dice inflicts Normal Dmg on a friendly CHAOS CULT operative (excluding DEVOTEE), you can ignore that inflicted damage. If that friendly operative is a MUTANT or TORMENT operative, you cannot roll for the Unnatural Regeneration rule for that attack dice then decide to use this rule on the same dice – you must use one or the other.

Ploys

Creatures of Nightmare
Strategy Ploy

Whenever determining control of a marker, treat the total APL stat of enemy operatives that contest it as 1 lower if at least one of those enemy operatives is within 2" of friendly CHAOS CULT MUTANT or CHAOS CULT TORMENT operatives.

Note this isn’t a change to the APL stat, so any changes are cumulative with this.

Exaltation In Pain
Strategy Ploy

You can ignore any changes to the Hit stat of friendly CHAOS CULT operatives’ weapons from being injured. Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly CHAOS CULT operative that’s wounded, you can re-roll one of your defence dice.

Fervent Onslaught
Strategy Ploy

Friendly CHAOS CULT operatives’ melee weapons have the Accurate 1 weapon rule, or the Accurate 2 weapon rule if that friendly operative is a MUTANT or TORMENT operative.
Accurate 1: You can retain 1 Attack Die as a normal success without rolling it.

Sickening Aura
Strategy Ploy

Whenever an enemy operative is within 2" of friendly CHAOS CULT MUTANT or CHAOS CULT TORMENT operatives, worsen the Hit stat of that enemy operative’s weapons by 1. This isn’t cumulative with being injured.

Abhorrent Mutation
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly CHAOS CULT operative (excluding DARK COMMUNE) is activated. Select an ACCURSED GIFT for that operative to gain. This is in addition to any ACCURSED GIFTS it already has. Each friendly operative cannot be selected for this ploy more than once per battle, and if that operative turns into a different one (see Mutation faction rule), it still has that ACCURSED GIFT.

Frenzied Demise
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly CHAOS CULT MUTANT or CHAOS CULT TORMENT operative is incapacitated, before it is removed from the killzone. Inflict D3 damage (or D6 damage instead if that friendly operative is a TORMENT) on one enemy operative visible to and within 2" of that friendly operative.

Faithful Follower
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly CHAOS CULT DARK COMMUNE operative is selected as the valid target of a Shoot action or to fight against during the Fight action. Select one other friendly CHAOS CULT operative (excluding DARK COMMUNE) visible to and within 3" of that DARK COMMUNE operative to become the valid target or to be fought against (as appropriate) instead (even if it wouldn’t normally be valid for this). If it’s the Fight action, treat that other operative as being within the fighting operative’s control range for the duration of that action. If it is the Shoot action, that other operative is only in cover or obscured if the original target was.

This ploy has no effect if it’s the Shoot action and the ranged weapon has the Blast or Torrent weapon rule.

Unleash The Daemon
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy during a friendly CHAOS CULT MUTANT or CHAOS CULT TORMENT operative’s activation. During that activation, that operative can perform two Fight actions, and one of them can be free.
