Khorne Traitor Beserkers

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.

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.

Khorne - Wrathful Onslaught:
This operative's melee weapons have the Severe weapon rule.
Severe: If you do not retain any critical successes, you can change one of your normal successes to a critical success. Any rules that take effect as a result of retaining a critical success (e.g. Devastating, Piercing Crits, etc.) still do.

Towering Size: - In the Firefight phase, whenever you determine this operative's order, you cannot select Conceal

This operative cannot be in cover or obscured by Light terrain, terrain parts less than 3" tall or terrain that is not wholly intervening
Whenever another operative is performing the Shoot action, being within control range of other operatives does not prevent this operative from being selected as a valid target. In other words, this operative can be shot while within control range of friendly operatives
This operative can move through terrain parts less than 2" tall. It cannot move through Accessible terrain (excluding hatchways) unless that terrain is also less than 2" tall
Whenever this operative would finish a move in a terrain feature less than 2" tall, temporarily remove that terrain feature from the killzone, then return it when this operative leaves that location; if it is an equipment terrain feature, remove it from the battle instead

Behaviour: Brawler: This NPO will move towards the enemy to fight them, but will seek cover on its way. When activated, if it's a NEMESIS NPO or will perform the Fight or Charge action during that activation, give it an Engage order. Otherwise, give it a Conceal order.

Fight.
Charge the closest player operative via the shortest possible route.
Reposition towards the closest player operative, to cover if possible (a subsequent Dash action can fulfil this).
Dash towards the closest player operative, to cover if possible.

Allegiance: Chaos: Let The Galaxy Burn:

Whenever a Chaos NPO or friendly Chaos Nemesis operative is wholly within enemy territory, its weapons have the Balanced weapon rule.

Trait: Fury: Unbridled wrath consumes some powerful operatives: a blinkered anger that can only be briefly sated in destruction at close quarters.

This operative's melee weapons have the Ceaseless weapon rule; if the weapon already has that weapon rule, it has the Relentless weapon rule. Worsen the Hit stat of this operative's ranged weapons by 1.

Trait: Crushing Impact: Thundering headlong into the fray, this combatant uses both the impetus of their charge and their armoured bulk to bring swift death to their foes.

When this operative finishes moving during the Charge action, inflict D3+3 damage on one enemy operative within its control range.

Selected Equipment

Mines (x1)

(Universal)

Before the battle, you can set up one of your Mines markers wholly within your territory and more than 2" from other markers, access points, and Accessible terrain. The first time that marker is within an operative's control range, remove that marker and inflict D3+3 damage on that operative.

Inactive Equipment

Universal Equipment

Ammo Cache (x1)

(Universal)

Before the battle, you can set up one of your Ammo Cache markers wholly within your territory. Friendly operatives can perform the following mission action during the battle: AMMO RESUPPLY (0 AP): One of your Ammo Cache markers the active operative controls is used during this turning point.

Until the start of the next turning point, whenever this operative is shooting with a weapon from its datacard, you can re-roll one of your attack dice.

An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, if that marker is not yours, or if that marker has been used this turning point.

Razor Wire (x1)

(Universal)

Razor wire is Exposed and Obstructing terrain. Before the battle, you can set it up wholly within your territory, on the killzone floor and more than 2" from other equipment terrain features, access points, and Accessible terrain.

Obstructing: Whenever an operative would cross over this terrain feature within 1" of it, treat the distance as an additional 1".

Comms Device (x1)

(Universal)

Before the battle, you can set up one of your Comms Device markers wholly within your territory. While a friendly operative controls this marker, add 3" to the distance requirements of its SUPPORT rules that refer to friendly operatives (e.g. ‘select one friendly operative within 6"’ would be 9" instead). Note that you cannot benefit from your opponent's Comms Device markers.

Light Barricades (x2)

(Universal)

Light barricades are Light terrain, except the feet, which are Insignificant and Exposed. Before the battle, you can set up any of them wholly within your territory, on the killzone floor and more than 2" from other equipment terrain features, access points, and Accessible terrain.

Heavy Barricade (x1)

(Universal)

A heavy barricade is Heavy terrain. Before the battle, you can set it up wholly within 4" of your drop zone, on the killzone floor and more than 2" from other equipment terrain features, access points, and Accessible terrain.

Ladders (x2)

(Universal)

Ladders are Insignificant and Exposed terrain. Before the battle, you can set up any of them as follows:

Wholly within your territory.
Upright against terrain that’s at least 2" tall.
More than 2" from other equipment terrain features.
More than 1" from doors and access points.

Once per action, whenever an operative is climbing the terrain feature a ladder is placed against, treat the vertical distance as 1" if the ladder is within that operative’s control range during that entire climb.

Portable Barricade (x1)

(Universal)

A portable barricade is Light, Protective and Portable terrain, except the feet which are Insignificant and Exposed. Before the battle, you can set it up wholly within your territory, on the killzone floor and more than 2" from other equipment terrain features, access points, and Accessible terrain.

Protective: While an operative is in cover from this terrain feature, improve its Save stat by 1 (to a maximum of 2+).

Portable: This terrain feature only provides cover while an operative is connected to it and if the shield is intervening (ignore its feet). Operatives connected to the inside of it can perform the following unique action during the battle:

Move With Barricade (1 AP): The same as the Reposition action, except the active operative can move no more than its Move stat minus 2" and cannot climb, drop, jump, or use any killteam's rules that remove it and set it back up again (e.gh. HEARTHKYN SALVAGER Fly, MANDRAKE Shadow Passage).

Before this operative moves, remove the portable barricade it is connected to. After it moves, set up the portable barricade so it is connected again, but the portable barricade cannot be set up within 2" of other equipment terrain features, access points or Accessible terrain. If this is not possible, the portable barricade is not set up again.

This action is treated as a Reposition action. An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or in the same activation in which it performed the Fall Back or Charge action.

Utility Grenade - Smoke (x1/2)

(Universal)

When you select this equipment, select two utility grenades (2 smoke, 2 stun, or 1 smoke and 1 stun). Each selection is a unique action your operatives can perform, but your kill team can only perform that action a total number of times during the battle equal to your selection.

SMOKE GRENADE (1 AP):

Place one of your Smoke Grenade markers within 6" of this operative. It must be visible to this operative, or on Vantage terrain of a terrain feature that is visible to this operative. The marker creates an area of smoke 1" horizontally and unlimited height vertically from (but not below) it.
While an operative is wholly within an area of smoke, it is obscured to operatives more than 2" from it, and vice versa. In addition, whenever an operative is shooting an enemy operative wholly within an area of smoke, weapons with the Piercing 2 or Piercing Crits 2 weapon rule have the Piercing 1 or Piercing Crits 1 weapon rule (respectively) instead, unless they’re within 2" of each other.
In the Ready step of the next Strategy phase, roll one D3. Remove that Smoke Grenade marker after a number of activations equal to that D3 have been completed or at the end of the turning point (whichever comes first).
An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or if you have reached the total number of times your kill team can perform it.

Utility Grenade - Stun (x1/2)

(Universal)

STUN GRENADE (1 AP):

Select one enemy operative visible to and within 6" of this operative. That operative and each other operative within 1" of it takes a stun test. For an operative to take a stun test, roll one D6: on a 3+, subtract 1 from its APL stat until the end of its next activation.
