“The forests sting”

Common Abilities and Options

Neutron Charge:
Neutron weapons are any weapons that have the word "Neutron" in their name. Whenever a friendly VESPID STINGWING operative moves or uses FLY, its Neutron weapons have the Piercing 1 weapon rule until the end of the Turning Point.

Communion:
Communion points are used to maintain the tactical focus of friendly VESPID STINGWING operatives. In the Ready step of each Strategy phase, you gain 1D3 Communion points, plus 1 if a friendly OVERSIGHT DRONE operative is in the killzone. Communion points are used as follows (OVERSIGHT DRONE operatives are unaffected by the following):

Whenever a friendly VESPID STINGWING operative is performing the Shoot action, it can only target the closest enemy operative within 8" of it (excluding enemy operatives within control range of other friendly VESPID STINGWING operatives) unless you spend 1 of your Communion points. For weapons with the Blast and Torrent weapon rules, only the first target must be selected in this way.
Whenever a friendly VESPID STINGWING operative performs the Charge action, it must finish the action within control range of the closest enemy operative unless you spend 1 of your Communion points.
Whenever you would perform the Pick Up Marker or a mission action (excluding Operate Hatch) with a friendly VESPID STINGWING operative, you must also spend one of your Communion points to do so.
Whenever a friendly VESPID STINGWING operative is shooting, you can spend one (and only one) of your Communion points to re-roll one Attack Die.

Fly:
Whenever a friendly VESPID STINGWING operative performs an action in which it moves, it can FLY. If it does so, do not 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 horizontal distance only. 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 was the Charge action, it cannot be set up within control range of an enemy operative. In a killzone that uses the Close Quarters rules (e.g. killzone Gallowdark), you cannot measure the distance 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).

Warrior Instincts:
Whenever this operative is shooting, if you do not spend Communion points during that sequence, its Neutron Blaster has the Accurate 1 weapon rule until the end of that sequence.

This has no effect while this operative is within control range of an enemy operative.

Abilities

*Skytorch: An operative can only use this weapon during the Skytorch Assault action. If it does, do not select a valid target. Instead, shoot against each operative within its Torch Zone (excluding operatives wholly underneath Vantage terrain), they are not in Cover or Obscured. Roll each sequence separately in order of furthest operative to closest. The Torch Zone is the area between the operative's current and previous locations. A 28mm round Skytorch marker can be temporarily placed underneath this operative before it moves to help determine this.

*Torrent 0": Torrent 0" means you cannot select secondary targets outside its torch zone, but this weapon still has the Torrent weapon rule for all other rules purposes, e.g. the Condensed Stronghold rules (see Killzone: Volkus).

Skytorch Assault (2AP): Perform a free Reposition action with this operative. During that action, it must FLY and can move an additional 2". Then perform a free Shoot action. You can only select a flamer (skytorch) for that Shoot action.

This operative cannot perform this action while it has a Conceal order, or while within control range of an enemy operative
