Aximand’s Blackfists

Common Abilities and Options

Renegade Astartes:
During each friendly RED CORSAIRS RAIDERS 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.

Each friendly RED CORSAIRS RAIDERS operative can counteract regardless of its order.

Expert Pirates:
Whenever a RED CORSAIRS operative incapacitates an enemy operative (or wounds one if they have 12 wounds or more), or one of your RED CORSAIRS operatives is incapacitated instead, you gain a Corsair dice. When you gain a Corsair dice, you roll a single dice; keep your Corsair dice to one side – this is your Corsair dice pool. Before making a dice roll with one of your friendly operatives, if you have one or more dice in your Miracle dice pool, that unit can use one or more of your Corsairs dice. If it does, select one or more of the dice from your Corsair dice pool to substitute that dice roll. You cannot have more than 6 Corsair dice at a time. You are allowed to discard 3 Corsair Dice per Turning Point.

*Torrent 0":
Note that Torrent 0" means you cannot select secondary targets, but this weapon still has the Torrent weapon rule for all other rules purposes, e.g. the Condensed Stronghold rule (see Killzone: Volkus, Kill Team Core Book).

Under the Tyrant's Gaze:
Once during each of this operative's activations, if it incapacitates an enemy operative, add 1 to its APL stat until the end of that activation.

Blood Tax:
Whenever a friendly WARRIOR operative is activated, you gain one a Corsair dice for free.

Path of the TyrantBoons of the TyrantRenegade AstartesExpert Pirates

Path of the Tyrant: This operative starts the battle with 1 Tyrant point. Once per action, you can attempt to use one Boon of Tyrant when it specifies (see right). If you do, roll one D6 and compare the result to the number of Tyrant points this operative has; if the result is:

Higher: Resolve the rule, then this operative gains 1 Tyrant point.
Equal: Do not resolve the rule.
Less: Inflict damage on this operative equal to its number of Tyrant points and do not resolve the rule.

If this operative has 6 Tyrant points, resolve the rule without rolling. Note that you cannot make an attempt more than once per action, regardless of the D6 result.

Boons of the Tyrant: Boons of the Tyrant are as follows (resolved with a D6 roll, see Paths to Tyrant):

-When this operative starts a dash or reposition action, you gain an additional 1" movement to either of these actions.

-When an attack dice inflicts damage of 3 or more on this operative, you can ignore an amount of damage equal to this operative’s Damnation points.

Equipment

Maelstrom Boltrounds

Friendly RED CORSAIRS operatives' Boltguns and Boltpistols have the SATURATE rule.

Stolen Medicae Supplies

Once per turning point, a single RED CORSAIRS OPERATIVE can heal D3 wounds.

Plundered Trophies

Once per turning point, when an operative is shooting a friendly RED CORSAIRS RAIDERS operative, 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.

Corrupted Iron Halo

Once per battle, when an attack die inflicts Normal Damage on a friendly RED CORSAIRS RAIDERS operative, you can ignore that inflicted damage.

Ploys

Withholding the Tithe

Firefight Ploy

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

Underhanded Strike

Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly RED CORSAIRS RAIDERS operative is retaliating, at the start of the Resolve Attack Dice step. You can resolve one of your successes before the normal order. If you do you cannot resolve any other successes during that sequence.

Rulers of the Maelstrom

Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy after rolling your attack dice for a friendly RED CORSAIRS RAIDERS operative, if it’s shooting against, fighting against or retaliating against an enemy operative that has the IMPERIUM or AELDARI keyword. That friendly operative's weapons have the Ceaseless weapon rule until the end of the sequence; if that enemy operative also has the Adeptus Astartes or Corsair Voidscarred keyword, that friendly operative's weapons have the Relentless weapon rule until the end of that sequence instead. Ceaseless: Can re-roll any or all results of one value (e.g. all results of 2) Relentless: Can re-roll any or all Attack dice.

Ruthless Cunning

Firefight Ploy

You can use this ploy once per turning point: discard three dice with a result of 2 or lower and replace them with a single dice that has the result of the previously discarded dice combined together (to a maximum of 5, even if you discarded three 2s).

Boarding Tactics

Strategy Ploy

Whenever a friendly RED CORSAIRS RAIDERS operative is shooting an enemy operative within 6" of it, or whenever a friendly MERCENARY operative is shooting, that friendly operative’s ranged weapons have the Balanced weapon rule. Balanced: Can re-roll one Attack die.

Disemboweling Strike

Strategy Ploy

Whenever a friendly RED CORSAIRS RAIDERS operative is activated, if the first action it performs during that activation is the Charge action, when it ends its move during that action, you can inflict D3 damage on one enemy operative within its control range.

Boarding Party

Strategy Ploy

Up to three friendly RED CORSAIRS RAIDERS operatives can immediately perform a free Dash or Charge action in an order of your choice (choose separately for each, and for the latter, it cannot move more than 3"). If a RED CORSAIRS TYRANT's AGENT operative is selected for this ploy, it counts as two operatives, and it can perform a free Fall Back action instead (it cannot move more than 3"); if it does, subtract 1 from its APL stat until the end of its next activation.

Veterans of the Badab War

Strategy Ploy

Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly RED CORSAIRS RAIDERS operative, if you roll two or more fails, you can discard one of them to retain another as a normal success instead.

You cannot score more than 2VP from this op per turning point.

Dominate

Reveal: The first time an enemy operative is incapacitated by a friendly operative.

Additional Rules:

Each time a friendly operative incapacitates an enemy operative, that friendly operative gains one of your Dominate tokens.

You cannot score more than 3VP from this op per turning point.

Rout

Seek And Destroy

Reveal: The first time you score VP from this op.

Victory Points:

Track Enemy

Steal Intelligence

Infiltration

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.
