Liberators of Nights (Sergent)

Liberators of Nights (Sergent)

Common Abilities and Options

Jump Pack:
Whenever a friendly BLADEWING operative is performing a Charge, Fallback or Reposition action during its activation, at the start of any straight line increment, as long as no part of its base is underneath Vantage terrain, it can do a BOOST for that increment. If it does, don't move it for that increment. Instead, remove it from the killzone and set it back up wholly within the remainder of that action's move allowance.

That operative must be set up in a location it can be placed and cannot be set up with any part of its base underneat Vantage terrain. In addition, unless it's the Charge action, it cannot be set up within control range of an enemy operative. It can continue moving after a BOOST if it has any more distance remaining and the action allows it.

In a killzone that uses the close quarters rules, It cannot measure distance for a BOOST over or through wall terrain, and cannot be set up on the other side of an access point.

Astartes:
During each friendly SHADOW FORCE operative's activation, it can perform either two Shoot actions or two Fight actions. If it's two Shoot actions, a bolt weapon must be selected for at least one of them, and if it's a bolt sniper rifle or heavy bolter, 1 additional AP must be spent for the second action if both actions are using that weapon.

Each friendly SHADOW FORCE operative can counteract regardless of its order.

Camo Cloak:
Whenever an operative is shooting this operative, if you can retain any cover saves, you can 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.
