Common Abilities and Options

Blooded:
You gain one Blooded token:

In the ready step of each strategy phase.
The first time an enemy operative is incapacitated during each turning point.
The first time a friendly operative is incapacitated within 6" of an enemy operative during each turning point.

As a strategic gambit, you can assign any of your unassigned blooded tokens to friendly blooded operatives. Each operative cannot have more than one of your blooded tokens.

Then, if four or more friendly operatives in the killzone have one of your Blooded tokens, you can select one of them to be under the GAZE OF THE GODS until the end of the turning point.

Whenever a friendly BLOODED operative has one of your Blooded tokens, its weapons have the accurate 1 weapon rule. If that friendly BLOODED operative is under the GAZE OF THE GODS, you can retain one of your normal successes as a result of the Accurate 1 weapon rule as a critical success instead.

Notes

Kalex was once an officer in the Legio Byzantium’s mortal auxiliaries but defected to the Cult of Horus after being disillusioned by the unending war. His chainsword is a crude but vicious weapon, its teeth carved with the runes of the Eye of Horus. Kalex is a charismatic and ruthless leader, known for executing traitors and cowards with a grim sense of purpose.

Blooded Icon: Once per turning point, when a friendly BLOODED operative that has one of your Blooded tokens is incapacitated, if this operative is within 6" of it, you can regain that token.

A massive brute, Varnis was a gladiator before the Cult of Horus claimed him. His chain axe is a brutal relic of his former life, and his berserk fury in battle terrifies both friend and foe. Varnis fights with a mindless devotion, believing his bloodshed sanctifies the soil for Horus's return.

A hulking monstrosity, Rakkar is a Chaos-tainted Ogryn who sees the Prophet as a god. His immense strength and durability make him a living battering ram, and his crude intellect makes him easy to control. Rakkar’s flesh is covered in scars and mutations, his loyalty to the cult absolute.
