The Devourers Of Desire

The Devourers Of Desire

Common Abilities and Options

Astartes:
During each friendly LEGIONARY operative's activation, it can perform either two Shoot actions or two Fight actions. If it is two Shoot actions, a bolt pistol, boltgun or tainted bolt pistol must be selected for at least one of them.

Each friendly LEGIONARY operative can counteract regardless of its order.

Mark Of Chaos:
Whenever you select a LEGIONARY operative for the battle, you must select one of the following keywords for it to have for that battle: KHORNE, NURGLE, SLAANESH, TZEENTCH, UNDIVIDED. Each operative's keyword can be different, but a BALEFIRE ACOLYTE operative cannot have the KHORNE keyword.

Friendly LEGIONARY operatives have an additional rule determined by this keyword. In addition, LEGIONARY ploys have additional benefits for operatives with the relevant keyword.

Slaanesh - Unnatural Agility:
Add 1" to this operative’s Move stat.

For each attack die you resolve during that step that inflicts damage, that friendly operative regains 1 lost wound, or D3 lost wounds if it was a critical success. You cannot use this weapon rule more than once per Turning Point.

Notes

Flawless Blade

Horrifying Dismemberment: Whenever this operative incapacitates an enemy operative while fighting or retaliating, select one other enemy operative visible to and within 3" of either this operative or the incapacitated enemy operative. Subtract 1 from that enemy operative’s APL stat until the end of its next activation.

Vicious Reflexes: Whenever this operative is retaliating, you resolve the first attack dice (i.e. defender instead of attacker).

Grisly Mark (2AP): Place your Grisly marker within this operative’s control range.

  • Whenever an enemy operative is within 3" of your Grisly marker, your opponent must spend 1 additional AP for that enemy operative to perform the Pick Up Marker and mission actions.
  • Whenever determining control of a marker, treat the total APL stat of enemy operatives that contest it as 1 lower if at least one of those enemy operatives is within 3" of your Grisly marker. Note this is not a change to the APL stat, so any changes are cumulative with this.

This operative cannot perform this action more than once per battle, and cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative.

Infractor

Favoured Of The Dark Gods: In the Ready step of each Strategy phase, if this operative controls an objective marker that isn’t tainted, that objective marker is tainted for the battle and you gain 1CP. Note that if any operative (including enemy operatives) has tainted an objective marker, you cannot taint that objective marker.

Icon Bearer: Whenever determining control of a marker, treat this operative's APL stat as 1 higher. Note this is not a change to its APL stat, so any changes are cumulative with this.

Equipment

Warded Armour

STRATEGIC GAMBIT Select one friendly LEGIONARY operative. Until the Ready step of the next Strategy phase, change that operative’s Save stat to 2+.

Malefic Blades

Friendly LEGIONARY operatives have the following melee weapon for the battle:

NameATKHITDMG
Malefic Blade53+3/4
Tainted Rounds

Once per turning point, when a friendly LEGIONARY operative is performing the Shoot action and you select a bolt pistol or boltgun, you can use this rule. If you do, until the end of that action, that weapon has the Rending weapon rule.

Chaos Talismans

STRATEGIC GAMBIT Select one Marks of Chaos keyword. Once during each of their activations, when a friendly LEGIONARY operative that has that keyword is shooting, fighting or retaliating, if you roll two or more fails, you can inflict D3 damage on that friendly operative to discard one of them and retain the other as a normal success instead. Note that if it is the Shoot action and that damage incapacitates that friendly operative, the action does not end (continue the sequence with your successful attack dice).

Ploys

Blood For The Blood God
Strategy Ploy

Whenever a friendly LEGIONARY operative (excluding KHORNE) is fighting, the first time you strike during that sequence, inflict 1 additional damage (to a maximum of 7).

Add 1 to both Dmg stats of friendly LEGIONARY KHORNE operatives' melee weapons (to a maximum of 7).

Fickle Fates
Strategy Ploy

Whenever a friendly LEGIONARY operative is shooting a ready enemy operative, that friendly operative’s ranged weapons have the Balanced weapon rule.
Whenever an operative is shooting a ready friendly LEGIONARY TZEENTCH operative, in the Roll Defence Dice step, if you retain any critical successes, you can retain one of your fails as a normal success instead of discarding it.

Balanced: Can re-roll one Attack die.

Implacable
Strategy Ploy

Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly LEGIONARY operative, weapons with the Piercing 1 weapon rule have the Piercing Crits 1 weapon rule instead.

You can ignore any changes to the stats of friendly LEGIONARY NURGLE operatives from being injured (including their weapons’ stats).

Quicksilver Speed
Strategy Ploy

Whenever a friendly LEGIONARY operative that performed an action in which it moved during this turning point is fighting, worsen the Hit stat of the enemy operative's melee weapons by 1.

Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly LEGIONARY SLAANESH operative more than 6" from it that performed an action in which it moved during this turning point, worsen the Hit stat of the enemy operative's weapons by 1.

In all cases for this ploy, this is not cumulative with being injured.

Malignant Aura
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly LEGIONARY NURGLE operative is performing the Shoot action, when you select a valid target. Until the end of that action, whenever that friendly operative is shooting an enemy operative within 3" of it (i.e. including secondary targets, if any), that friendly operative's ranged weapons have the Piercing 1 weapon rule.

Piercing 1: The defender collects 1 less Defence die.

Mutability And Change
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly LEGIONARY TZEENTCH operative is activated. Until the end of that operative’s activation, add 1 to its APL stat, but it cannot perform the same action more than once during that activation.
If it’s a WARRIOR operative, that operative’s Marks of Chaos keyword cannot be changed during this turning point (see Infernal Pact additional rule).

Sickening Captivation
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy during a friendly LEGIONARY SLAANESH operative's activation, before or after it performs an action. Select one enemy operative visible to and within 4" of that friendly operative. Until the end of that enemy operative's next activation, subtract 1 from its APL stat.

Unending Bloodshed
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly LEGIONARY KHORNE operative is incapacitated while fighting or retaliating.

You can strike the enemy operative in that sequence with one of your unresolved successes before it’s removed from the killzone.

Tac Ops

Sweep & Clear
Seek And Destroy

Reveal: The first time an enemy operative is incapacitated while contesting an objective marker, or the first time a friendly operative performs the Clear action (whichever comes first).

Additional Rules:

When an enemy operative that contests an objective marker is incapacitated, that objective marker gains one of your Swept tokens (if it doesn't already have one) until the Ready step of the next Strategy phase.

Mission Action: Clear (1 AP)

  • An objective marker the active operative controls is cleared for the turning point.
  • An operative cannot perform this action 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, if friendly operatives control any objective markers that have one of your Swept tokens, you score 1VP.
  • If this is true and any of those objective markers are also cleared, you score 2VP instead.

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

Dominate
Seek And Destroy

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.

Victory Points:

At the end of the third and fourth turning point, you can remove Dominate tokens from friendly operatives that aren't incapacitated. For each you remove, you score 1VP.

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:

Whenever a friendly operative incapacitates an enemy operative, if that friendly operative is within 6" of your opponent's drop zone, you score 1VP; if this is true and that enemy operative had a Wounds stat of 12 or more, you score 2VP instead.

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

Plant Banner
Security

Reveal: When you perform the Plant Banner action.

Mission Action: Plant Banner (1 AP)

  • Place your Banner mission marker within the active operative's control range, wholly within your opponent's territory and more than 5" from a neutral killzone edge. Operatives can perform the Pick Up Marker action on your Banner mission marker.
  • An operative cannot perform this action during the first turning point, while within control range of an enemy operative, or if a friendly operative has already performed this action during the battle.

Victory Points:

At the end of each turning point after the first, if your Banner mission marker is wholly within your opponent's territory and friendly operatives control it, you score 1VP; if that's true and no enemy operatives contest it, you score 2VP instead. Note your Banner mission marker must be in the killzone (not being carried) to score.

Martyrs
Security

Reveal: The first time a friendly operative is incapacitated while contesting an objective marker.

Additional Rules:

Whenever a friendly operative is incapacitated while contesting an objective marker, that marker gains one of your Martyr tokens.

Victory Points:

At the end of each turning point after the first, if friendly operatives contest an objective marker that has one or more of your Martyr tokens, you can remove any of those tokens. For each token you remove, you score 1VP; if friendly operatives also control that marker, you score 2VP instead.

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

Envoy
Security

Reveal: The first time you select an envoy.

Additional Rules:

Victory Points:

At the end of each turning point after the first, if your envoy is wholly within enemy territory and not within control range of enemy operatives, you score 1VP; if this is true and your envoy has not lost any wounds during that turning point, you score 2VP instead.
