Whenever this operative is fighting or retaliating, each of your normal successes can block one unresolved critical success (unless the enemy operative’s weapon has the Brutal weapon rule).

  1. RESOLUTE

You can ignore any changes to this operative’s APL stat and it isn’t affected by enemy operatives’ Shock weapon rule.

  1. STEALTHY

  1. MOBILE

• This operative can perform the Fall Back action for 1 less AP.

• This operative can perform the Charge action while within control range of an enemy operative, and can leave that operative’s control range to do so (but then normal requirements for that move apply).

  1. HARDY

Whenever an operative is shooting this operative, defence dice results of 5+ are critical successes. Whenever this operative is retaliating, the first time an attack dice inflicts Normal Dmg of 3 or more on this operative during that sequence, that dice inflicts 1 less damage on it.

  1. SHARPSHOOTER

Whenever this operative is shooting during an activation in which it hasn’t performed the Charge, Fall Back or Reposition action, its bolt weapons have the Accurate 1 and Severe weapon rules.

Equipment

Ploys

Shock Assault
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly STRIKE FORCE VARIEL operative is performing the Fight action during an activation in which it performed the Charge action, at the start of the Resolve Attack Dice step. Until the end of that action:

  • Its melee weapon has the Shock weapon rule
  • The first time your strike during that sequence, inflict 1 additional damage
Wrath Of Vengeance
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly STRIKE FORCE VARIEL operative is counteracting. It can perform an additional 1 AP action for free during that counteraction, but both actions must be different.

Transhuman Physiology
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy when an operative is shooting a friendly STRIKE FORCE VARIEL operative, in the Roll Defence Dice step. You can retain one of your normal successes as a critical success instead.

Combat Doctrine
Strategy Ploy

Select one COMBAT DOCTRINE from those presented below. Whenever a friendly STRIKE FORCE VARIEL operative is x, its weapons have the Balanced weapon rule. x is the COMBAT DOCTRINE you selected.

  • Devastator Doctrine: Shooting an operative more than 6" from it
  • Tactical Doctrine: Shooting an operative within 6" of it
  • Assault Doctring: Fighting or retaliating
And They Shall Know No Fear
Strategy Ploy

You can ignore any changes to the stats of friendly STRIKE FORCE VARIEL operatives from being injured (including their weapons' stats).

Grim Resolve
Strategy Ploy

Whenever determining control of a marker, treat the total APL stat of friendly STRIKE FORCE VARIEL operatives that contest it as 1 higher if friendly operatives controlled that marker at the start of the Firefight phase. Note this isn't a change to the APL stat, so any changes are cumulative with this.

Indomitus
Strategy Ploy

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

  • 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.
