Common Abilities and Options

This weapon can be used in shooting attacks while this operative is within control range of enemy operatives, but worsen the Hit stat of this operative's ranged weapons by 1 for these sequences.

Renegade Astartes:
Friendly ABYSSAL TALON operatives can perform any action twice (except for Operate Hatch) (this takes precedence over any action restrictions). If the second move action is a Reposition, Charge or Fallback action, it can move to a maximum of 3 inches. They can perform a Fallback, Charge, Dash or Reposition actions even they performed an action that prevents them from doing so.

Each friendly ABYSSAL TALON operative can counteract regardless of its order.

*Poison:
In the Resolve Attack Dice step, if you inflict damage with any successes, the operative this weapon is being used against gains one of your Poison tokens (if it does not already have one). Whenever an operative that has one of your Poison tokens is activated, inflict 1 damage on it.

*Rad*Dimensional BanishmentAbandoned AbominationRenegade Astartes*Poison

*Rad: In the Resolve Attack Dice step, if you inflict damage with a critical success, the operative this weapon is being used against gains one of your Rad Tokens (if it does not already have one). When an operative that has one of your Rad Tokens is activated, inflict 1 damage on it and worsen its Save stat by 1 until the end of its next activation, then remove that token from that operative.

*Dimensional Banishment: After this operative uses this weapon, if you inflicted damage or retained any critical successes, if the target wasn’t incapacitated, roll 2D6: if the result is higher than the target’s remaining wounds, the target is incapacitated.

Abandoned Abomination: In the Select Operatives phase and if you selected this operative to be in your killteam, select one of the following mutations for it to have for the battle:

  • Over-Engineered: Add 1 Atk die for all of its weapons; subtract 2 from its Move stat.

  • Mindless Specimen: Add 2 to its Wound stat; worsen the Hit stat for all of its weapons by 1.

  • Dermal Hardening: Normal and critical Dmg of 3 or more inflicts 1 less damage on it; worsen its Save stat by 1.

Equipment

SCAVENGED POWER ARMOURS

Add 1 to the Wound stat of the friendly operative that has the "REAVER LORD" keyword for the battle.

Once per turning point when an enemy is shooting a friendly ABYSSAL TALON operative, you can use one of the following rules:

  • At the start of the Roll Defence Dice step, you can use this rule. If you do, worsen the x of the Piercing weapon rule by 1 (if any) until the end of that sequence. Note that Piercing 1 would therefore be ignored.

  • In the Roll Defence Dice step, you can re-roll one of your defence dice.

JUMP PACK

Whenever a friendly ABYSSAL TALON operative is climbing a terrain, you can treat the vertical distance as 2 inches (regardless of how far the operative actually moves vertically).

Once per turning point, a friendly ABYSSAL TALON operative (excluding CHYMERIAE) can have the Fly rule.

FLY: Whenever a friendly operative is performing the Charge, Fall Back or Reposition action, it can FLY. If it does, don’t move it. Instead, remove it from the killzone and set it back up wholly within a distance equal to its Move stat horizontally of its original location (in a killzone that uses the close quarters rules, e.g. Killzone: Gallowdark, this distance cannot be measured over or through Wall terrain). Note that it gains no additional distance when performing the Charge action. It must be set up in a location it can be placed, and unless it’s the Charge action, it cannot be set up within control range of an enemy operative.

STORM SHIELD

Select a friendly ABYSSAL TALON DARK HERALD operative to have the Storm Shield rule for the battle.

STORM SHIELD: The friendly operative with this rule ignores the Piercing weapon rule. Whenever it is fighting or retaliating, in the Resolve Attack Dice step of that sequence, each time it parries, two of your opponent's successful hits are discarded (instead of one).

That friendly operative cannot have that rule if the Heavy Thunder Hammer or Xenophase Blade melee weapons were selected for it.

IRON HALO

Once per turning point, when an enemy operative is shooting or fighting a friendly ABYSSAL TALON operative, your opponent cannot retain attack dice results of less than 6 as critical successes (e.g. as a result of Lethal, Rending or Severe weapon rules).
