Strike Force Anchronus

Common Abilities and Options

Black Rage:
As a STRATEGIC GAMBIT, a number of friendly DEATH COMPANY operatives can enter the Black Rage based on the turning point as follows: TP1 = 1, TP2 = 1, TP3 = 2, TP4+ = 2. Once a DEATH COMPANY operative has entered the Black Rage, it gains the following rules:

This operative cannot perform the Pick Up Marker or mission actions (excluding Operate Hatch). If it’s carrying a marker, it must immediately perform the Place Marker action for 0AP (this takes precedence over all other rules).
Normal and Critical Dmg of 4 or more inflicts 1 less damage on this operative.
Its melee weapons gain the the Ceaseless and Lethal 5+ weapon rules. If an operative already has the Lethal 5+ weapon rule, they gain Relentless instead.

When a friendly DEATH COMPANY operative enters the Black Rage, they will always attack the nearest possible enemy target and take 1 DMG at the end of their turn.

Berserker Astartes:
During each friendly Death COMPANY 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 DEATH COMPANY operative can counteract regardless of its order. If a friendly DEATH COMPANY operative has moved towards the enemy deployment zone during it's turn, it can perform an additional 1AP action for free during their counteraction, but both actions must be different.

Jump Pack:
Whenever this operative performs an action in which it moves, 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 (or 3" if it was a Dash) of its original location, measuring the horizontal distance only (in a killzone that uses the close quarters rules, e.g. Killzone: Gallowdark, this distance cannot be measured over or through Wall terrain, and that operative cannot be set up on the other side of an access point – in other words it cannot FLY through an open hatchway). 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.

Abilities

Black RageMedic!Berserker Astartes1AP: Blood VialSanguine Rites

Medic!: The first time during each turning point that another friendly DEATH COMPANY operative would be incapacitated while visible to and within 3" of this operative, you can use this rule, providing neither this nor that operative is within control range of an enemy operative. If you do, that friendly operative is not incapacitated, has 1D3 wounds remaining, and cannot be incapacitated for the remainder of that action.

After that action, that friendly operative can immediately perform a free Dash action, but must end that move with this operative's control range. Subtract 1 from this and that operative's APL stats until the end of their next activations respectively, and if this rule was used during that friendly operative’s activation, that activation ends.

You cannot use this rule if this operative is incapacitated, or if it is a Shoot action and this operative would be a primary or secondary target.

Blood Vial (1AP): Select one friendly DEATH COMPANY operative within this operative's control range to regain up to 1D3+3 lost wounds. It cannot be an operative that the Medic! rule was used on during this turning point.

This operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative.

Sanguine Rites: Once per turning point, this operative can bring back other friendly DEATH COMPANY who used the BLACK RAGE ability to their normal behavior and statline, nullifying the effects of the ability. Friendly operatives who were brought back can use the BLACK RAGE ability again in later turning points.
