Common Abilities and Options
Harlequin's Panoply:
Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly VOID-DANCER TROUPE operative, and no attack dice are retained as critical successes, worsen the x of the Piercing weapon rule by 1 (if any).
Note that Piercing 1 would therefore be ignored.
Whenever a friendly VOID-DANCER TROUPE operative is climbing up, you can treat the vertical distance as 2" (regardless of how far the operative actually moves vertically).
Friendly VOID-DANCER TROUPE operatives can move within control range of enemy operatives (they must still start and end the move following all requirements for that move).
Saedath:
As a STRATEGIC GAMBIT in the first turning point, you must select an ALLEGORY (Epic or Melodrama below) for your kill team for the battle, and one friendly VOID-DANCER TROUPE operative to have the PIVOTAL ROLE for the battle.
Whenever a friendly operative has the PIVOTAL ROLE, it has the ACCOLADE rule of your ALLEGORY for the battle.
As a STRATEGIC GAMBIT in each subsequent turning point, you can select one friendly VOID-DANCER TROUPE operative to gain the ACCOLADE rule of your ALLEGORY for the battle.
Once per turning point, when a friendly operative that has the PIVOTAL ROLE completes the performance of your ALLEGORY, you can select a friendly VOID-DANCER TROUPE operative to gain the ACCOLADE rule of your ALLEGORY for the battle.
Epic
- Performance:
The operative incapacitates an enemy operative while fighting. - Accolade:
Whenever this operative is fighting, its melee weapons have the Balanced weapon rule.
Melodrama
- Performance:
The operative incapacitates an enemy operative while shooting. - Accolade:
The operative’s ranged weapons have the Balanced weapon rule.
Luck Of The Laughing God:
Once per turning point, you can use this rule. If you do, you can use a firefight ploy for 0CP if this is the specified VOID-DANCER TROUPE operative
(including Command Re-roll if the attack or defence dice was rolled for this operative). You cannot select the same firefight ploy for this rule more than once per battle.

Abilities
Harlequin's PanoplyLuck Of The Laughing GodSaedathEquipment
Wraithbone Talisman
Once per turning point, when a friendly VOID-DANCER TROUPE 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.
Shrieker Toxic Rounds
Once per turning point, when a friendly VOID-DANCER TROUPE operative is performing the Shoot action and you select a shuriken pistol or shrieker cannon (focused), you can use this rule. If you do, until the end of that action, that weapon has the Devastating 1 weapon rule.
Death Mask
Keep a Tragedy tally. Whenever a friendly VOID-DANCER TROUPE operative that has an ACCOLADE rule is incapacitated, add 1 to your Tragedy tally. When your Tragedy tally reaches 3, you gain 1CP and stop that tally.
Understudy's Mask
Once per battle, when you activate a friendly VOID-DANCER TROUPE operative, if the friendly operative that has the PIVOTAL ROLE has been incapacitated, you can use this rule. If you do, that activated operative has the PIVOTAL ROLE for the battle.
Ploys
Cegorach's Jest
Strategy PloyWhenever a friendly VOID-DANCER TROUPE operative is fighting or retaliating and your opponent strikes with a normal success, you can roll one D6:
if the result is less than the Hit stat of your opponent’s selected weapon, that strike is a block instead (ignore the Brutal weapon rule, if relevant) and you cannot use this rule for the rest of the sequence.
Darting Salvo
Strategy PloyWhenever a friendly VOID-DANCER TROUPE operative performs the Reposition action during its activation, it can perform the Shoot action during that action (it must do so in a location it can be placed, and any remaining move distance it had from that Reposition action can be used after it does so).
Prismatic Blur
Strategy PloyWhenever an operative is shooting a friendly VOID-DANCER TROUPE operative that performed an action in which it moved during this turning point, you can re-roll one of your defence dice.
Rising Crescendo
Strategy PloyFriendly VOID-DANCER TROUPE operatives can perform the Dash action during the same activation in which they performed the Charge action, but not vice versa (i.e. not Dash then Charge).
Domino Field
Firefight PloyUse this firefight ploy when an operative is shooting a friendly VOID-DANCER TROUPE operative, during the Resolve Defence Dice step. You can allocate one of your rolled successful dice to block all of your opponent's attack dice with matching results (e.g. one of your successful defence dice results of 5 can be used to block all successful attack dice results of 5).
Elusive Target
Firefight PloyUse this firefight ploy during a friendly VOID-DANCER TROUPE operative’s activation. Until the start of its next activation, while that 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".
Murderous Entrance
Firefight PloyUse this firefight ploy when a friendly VOID-DANCER TROUPE operative is fighting during an activation in which it performed the Charge action, after you strike. You can immediately resolve another of your normal successes as a strike (before your opponent), or a critical success if there are none.
The Curtain Falls
Firefight PloyUse this firefight ploy when a friendly VOID-DANCER TROUPE operative is fighting, after you strike with a critical success, if the enemy operative is not incapacitated. End that sequence (any remaining attack dice are discarded) and immediately perform a free Fall Back action up to 3" 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 Fall Back action.
Tac Ops
Track Enemy
InfiltrationReveal: The first time you score VP from this op.
Additional Rules:
An enemy operative is being tracked if it's a valid target for a friendly operative within 6" of it. That friendly operative must have a Conceal order, cannot be a valid target for the enemy operative it's attempting to track, and cannot be within control range of enemy operatives.
Victory Points:
At the end of each turning point after the first:
- If one enemy operative is being tracked, you score 1VP, or 2VP instead if it's the fourth turning point.
- If two or more enemy operatives are being tracked, you score 2VP.
You cannot score more than 2VP from this op per turning point.
Plant Devices
InfiltrationReveal: The first time a friendly operative performs the Plant Device action.
Mission Action: Plant Device (1 AP)
- One objective marker the active operative controls gains one of your Device tokens.
- An operative cannot perform this action during the first turning point, while within control range of an enemy operative, or if that objective marker already has one of your Device tokens.
Victory Points:
At the end of each turning point after the first:
- If your opponent's objective marker has one of your Device tokens, you score 1VP.
- For each other objective marker enemy operatives contest that has one of your Device tokens, you score 1VP.
You cannot score more than 2VP from this op per turning point.
Steal Intelligence
InfiltrationReveal: The first time an enemy operative is incapacitated.
Additional Rules:
Whenever an enemy operative is incapacitated, before it's removed from the killzone, place one of your Intelligence mission markers within its control range.
Friendly operatives can perform the Pick Up Marker action on your Intelligence mission markers, and for the purposes of that action's conditions, ignore the first Intelligence mission marker the active operative is carrying. In other words, each friendly operative can carry up to two Intelligence mission markers, or one and one other marker.
Victory Points:
At the end of each turning point after the first, if any friendly operatives are carrying any of your Intelligence mission markers, you score 1VP.
At the end of the battle, for each of your Intelligence mission markers friendly operatives are carrying, you score 1VP.
Flank
ReconReveal: As a STRATEGIC GAMBIT.
Additional Rules:
Divide the killzone into two flanks (left and right) by drawing an imaginary line that's just like the centreline, except it runs from the centre of each player's killzone edge. An operative contests a flank while both wholly within it and wholly within their opponent's territory. Friendly operatives control a flank if the total APL stat of those contesting it is greater than that of enemy operatives.
Victory Points:
- After you reveal this op, at the end of each turning point after the first, for each flank friendly operatives control, you score 1VP.
- In the fourth turning point, ff friendly operatives also controlled that flank at the end of the third turning point, you score 2VP instead.
You cannot score more than 2VP from this op per turning point.
Retrieval
ReconReveal: The first time you score VP from this op.
Mission Action: Retrieve (1 AP)
- If the active operative controls an objective marker that hasn't been searched by friendly operatives, that operative is now carrying one of your Retrieval mission markers and that objective marker has been searched by friendly operatives. Friendly operatives can perform the Pick Up Marker action on your Retrieval mission markers.
- An operative cannot perform this action during the first turning point, while within control range of an enemy operative, or if it's already carrying a marker.
Victory Points:
- The first time each objective marker is searched by friendly operatives, you score 1VP.
- At the end of the battle, for each of your Retrieval mission markers friendly operatives are carrying, you score 1VP.
Scout Enemy Movement
ReconReveal: The first time a friendly operative performs the Scout action.
Mission Action: Scout (1 AP)
- Select one ready enemy operative visible to and more than 6" from the active operative. That enemy operative is now monitored until the Ready step of the next Strategy phase.
- An operative cannot perform this action while it has an Engage order, 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, for each monitored enemy operative that's visible to friendly operatives, you score 1VP. Note that it doesn't have to be a friendly operative that performed the Scout action.
You cannot score more than 2VP from this op per turning point.
