Kill Borbs

Corrupted power and warp-infused jump packs bristle with metallic spines and scything blades with which to rend the flesh of unsuspecting prey.

Friendly MURDERWING operatives can perform the following unique action:

SLICE FROM ABOVE (1AP) BOOST action. Inflict D3+1 damage on one enemy operative within this operative’s BOOST ZONE.

An operative cannot perform this action normally. Instead, it performs this action during the Fall Back or Reposition action after setting up from a BOOST. A DEPREDATOR operative cannot perform this action during the same activation in which it performed the Carving Blow action (or vice versa).

Snaring claws and sharpened spurs protrude from the grotesque power armour of these predatory warrior.

Friendly MURDERWING operatives can perform the following unique action:

CLAWED CHARGE (0AP) BOOST action. Inflict 1 damage on one enemy operative within this operative’s control range, then the Charge action ends.

An operative cannot perform this action normally. Instead, it performs this action during the Charge action after setting up from a BOOST.

Vox-speakers wrought into the panels of corrupted power armour enhance the roar of engines and the animal cries of predatory warriors, overwhelming the senses of stunned prey.

Once per turning point, one friendly MURDERWING operative can perform the following unique action:

VOX-CRY (1AP) Each enemy operative within 3" of this operative 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 it has a Conceal order.

Immersion within the warp has mutated this warrior’s body, transforming their blood into high-octane fuel that burns through veins and arteries, powering muscles and jet engines alike.

Once per turning point, when an enemy operative ends the Fall Back action during its activation, if at least one friendly MURDERWING operative was within its control range at the start of that action, you can use this rule. One of those friendly operatives can immediately perform a free Reposition or Charge action, but cannot move more than 3" of move distance. Note that if the enemy operative doesn’t perform the Fall Back action during its own activation, this has no effect.

The Murderwing wait until fear is at its zenith before striking.

Use this firefight ploy when it’s your turn to activate, if only one friendly MURDERWING operative is ready. Until the end of the turning point, whenever any enemy operatives are in the killzone, you can skip your activations (in other words, you can delay that friendly MURDERWING operative’s activation). Note that you cannot counteract until that friendly MURDERWING operative is expended.

*Descending from lofty perches, Murderwings ambush unwary prey. * Use this firefight ploy when an enemy operative ends the Charge, Dash, Fall Back or Reposition action within 3" horizontally of a friendly MURDERWING operative (or in close quarters, 2"), and that enemy operative must be in a different room where it started that action. Interrupt the enemy operative’s activation/counteraction and immediately perform a free Charge action with that friendly operative. It must end that action within control range of the enemy operative. If this isn’t possible, the interruption is cancelled and this rule hasn’t been used.

Debased traitors all, Murderwings retain no codes of martial honour.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly MURDERWING operative is fighting or retaliating, when you resolve a critical success. Instead of striking or blocking, end the sequence and 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.

*Warp-corrupted jump packs lend their wearers terrifying speed. * Use this firefight ploy when a friendly MURDERWING operative is performing the Fall Back or Reposition action, when it does a BOOST. That operative can be set up an additional 3" away during that BOOST (adding this to the permitted move distance), but cannot perform the Shoot, Fight or Carving Blow (pg 43) action until the next turning point. You cannot use this ploy during the first turning point.

*Murderwings excel when striking from above, using their mobility and jet-assisted might to massacre their enemies. * Whenever a friendly MURDERWING operative is at least 2" higher than the killzone floor, its weapons have the Balanced weapon rule. Whenever a friendly MURDERWING operative does a BOOST, its weapons have the Balanced weapon rule until the end of that activation.

*Opportunistic predators all, the warriors of a Murderwing seek to single out and pick off the most vulnerable prey. * Whenever a friendly MURDERWING operative is shooting or fighting, its weapons have the Punishing weapon rule if any of the following are true for the operative that friendly operative is shooting or fighting against:

• It’s at least 2" lower than that friendly operative.
• Its APL stat is less than normal.
• It was wounded at the start of the activation/counteraction.

So swift and elusive are the Murderwing that even the most skilled of sharpshooters struggle to hit them as they soar above.

Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly MURDERWING operative that’s at least 2" higher than the killzone floor, or that did a BOOST during this turning point, you can re-roll one of your defence dice.

Such is the savagery and horror of the Murderwing that even the boldest combatants find their hearts gripped by paralysing fear.

Whenever a friendly MURDERWING operative is fighting, Normal Dmg of 3 or more inflicts 1 less damage on it.
