Fighters of the Four Armed Caliphate

Wyrmbladebyhanso1ocup

The Wyrmblade Kill Team is an elite unit within the Genestealer Cult known as the Caliphate of the Four-Armed Emperor. This cult originates from a desert world on the fringes of the galaxy, hidden away from Imperial eyes. Their Caliphate follows a unique form of worship, dedicated to a manifestation of the Great Sandworm they revere, seen as a symbol of power, divinity, and survival. The cult members are fiercely loyal, and their Jihad seeks to bring the galaxy under their banner, spreading the word of the Four-Armed Emperor with violence, terror, and unrelenting zeal.

Common Abilities and Options

Cult Ambush:
Whenever a friendly WYRMBLADE operative is shooting or fighting during its activation, if its order was changed from Conceal to Engage at the start of that activation, or it wasn’t visible to enemy operatives at the start of that activation, that friendly operative's weapons have the Ceaseless weapon rule.

Familiar Territory:
When setting up a WYRMBLADE kill team before the battle, one third of your kill team can be set up in HIDING: place them to one side instead of in the killzone. CULT AGENT operatives cannot be set up in HIDING.

In the Firefight phase, friendly WYRMBLADE operatives set up in HIDING are activated as normal. When you do, you can either expend that operative or have it emerge. If it emerges, set it up in the killzone in a location it can be placed as follows (it’s no longer set up in HIDING):

  • Wholly within 6" of your drop zone.
  • More than 6" from enemy operatives.
  • With an order of your choice.

The operative is treated as performing the Reposition action (spend the AP accordingly), then continue its activation as normal. If the operative is a WARRIOR, ignore its Group Activation rule. Friendly operatives still in HIDING at the end of the second turning point are incapacitated.

Heavy Weapon Bipod:
Whenever this operative is shooting with a weapon from its datacard, if it hasn’t moved during the activation, or if it’s a counteraction, that weapon has the Ceaseless weapon rule; if the weapon already has that weapon rule (i.e. from the Cult Ambush faction rule), it has the Relentless weapon rule. Note this operative isn’t restricted from moving after shooting.

Group Activation:
Whenever this operative is expended, you must then activate one other ready friendly WYRMBLADE WARRIOR operative (if able) before your opponent activates. When that other operative is expended, your opponent then activates as normal (in other words, you cannot activate more than two operatives in succession with this rule).

Fazil was once a warrior in the Imperial Guard before his transformation into a Brood Brother of the Four-Armed Emperor. He became the leader of the Wyrmblade Kill Team after proving his skill in battle and his unshakable faith in the Emperor’s cause. His Chainsword is a symbol of his warrior status, and he carries it with pride as he leads his forces with a fanatic determination.

Shadow Vector: Once per turning point, you can use the Slink Into Darkness or Coiled Serpent firefight ploy for 0CP if the specified friendly WYRMBLADE operative is a NEOPHYTE visible to this operative.

Mustafa is far more mutated than most of the team, his body altered by both his servitude to the Cult and the twisted blessing of the Great Sandworm. His Mining Laser is a tool that has been repurposed for war, capable of piercing armor with ease and burning through Imperial defenses. Mustafa is viewed with awe and fear by his fellow cultists, his terrifying mutation making him a living weapon of mass destruction.

Omar is a zealot and a devout follower of the Four-Armed Emperor, carrying the sacred Icon of the Caliphate. He uses the Icon to embolden his allies and serve as a beacon for the team in battle. His Autogun serves as a secondary weapon to protect the Icon, ensuring the symbol of their faith never falls.

Icon Bearer: Whenever determining control of a marker, treat this operative’s APL stat as 1 higher. Note this is not a change to its APL stat, so any changes are cumulative with this.

Overthrow The Oppressors: Once per turning point, when a ready friendly WYRMBLADE NEOPHYTE operative is incapacitated while visible to and within 6" of this operative, you can use this rule. If you do, before that operative is removed from the killzone, it can either perform one free Shoot action (you can change its order to do so), or you can use the A Plan Generations in the Making firefight ploy for 0CP if that incapacitated operative is the specified friendly WYRMBLADE NEOPHYTE operative.

It is then removed from the killzone as normal.

Notes

Zayd is the master of assassination within the Wyrmblade Kill Team. His expertise in silent elimination has earned him the title ‘The Serpent’s Fang’. He can neutralize high-priority targets, ensuring that the team can execute their mission without interference.

Cult Agent: Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly WYRMBLADE CULT AGENT operative:

  • Ignore the Piercing and Saturate weapon rules.
  • If you can retain any cover saves, you can retain one additional cover save, or you can retain one cover save as a critical success instead. This isn’t cumulative with improved cover saves from Vantage terrain.

Familiar's Soulsight (1AP): Select one enemy operative visible to this operative. Until the end of the battle, or until this action is performed again by a friendly operative (whichever comes first), that enemy operative gains one of your Soulsight tokens. Whenever this operative is shooting an enemy operative that has one of your Soulsight tokens, all profiles of this operative's Sanctus sniper rifle have the Saturate weapon rule and that enemy operative cannot be obscured.

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

Target Vulnerability (1AP): Until the end of this operative’s activation, the stationary profile of its Sanctus sniper rifle has the Lethal 5+ weapon rule.

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

Equipment

Once per turning point, a friendly WYRMBLADE NEOPHYTE operative can use the following ranged weapon:

Weapon Rules
Range 4", Blast 1", Saturate
Cult Knives

Friendly WYRMBLADE NEOPHYTE operatives have the following melee weapon:

NameAtkHitDmg
Cult Knife34+3/4
Explosive Traps

This equipment allows you to select two mines (see universal equipment). You cannot also select that equipment as normal (i.e. to give you three), and friendly WYRMBLADE operatives are ignored for your mines’ effects (i.e. they cannot trigger or take damage from them). This takes precedence over the normal mines rules.

Spotlights

Whenever a friendly WYRMBLADE operative is shooting, the target cannot be obscured if it is visible to and within 6" of a friendly WYRMBLADE NEOPHYTE operative that is not within control range of enemy operatives.

Ploys

Crossfire
Strategy Ploy

Whenever a friendly WYRMBLADE operative is shooting an operative that another friendly WYRMBLADE operative has already shot during this turning point, that first friendly operative's ranged weapons have the Accurate 1 weapon rule.
Accurate 1: You can retain 1 Attack Die as a normal success without rolling it.

Divert And Disappear
Strategy Ploy

Up to three friendly WYRMBLADE operatives can immediately perform a free Dash or Charge action in an order of your choice (choose separately for each, and for the latter, it cannot move more than 3"). If a WYRMBLADE CULT AGENT operative is selected for this ploy, it counts as two operatives, and it can perform a free Fall Back action instead (it cannot move more than 3"); if it does, subtract 1 from its APL stat until the end of its next activation.

One With The Shadows
Strategy Ploy

Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly WYRMBLADE operative that has a Conceal order, if Light terrain is intervening, that friendly operative is obscured (unless the intervening Light terrain is within 1" of either operative).

The Day Is At Hand
Strategy Ploy

Whenever a friendly WYRMBLADE operative is activated, if its order is changed from Conceal to Engage, until the end of that activation:

  • Its ranged weapons have the Rending weapon rule.
  • Add 1 to the Atk stat of its melee weapons (to a maximum of 5).

Rending: If you retain any critical hits, retain 1 normal hit as a critical hit instead.

A Plan Generations In The Making
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly WYRMBLADE NEOPHYTE operative is incapacitated. It can perform a free mission action before it’s removed from the killzone.

Coiled Serpent
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly WYRMBLADE operative is shooting or fighting, after rolling your attack dice. If that friendly operative’s order was changed from Conceal to Engage at the start of that activation and this is the first time it has performed either the Shoot or Fight action during that activation, you can retain one of your normal successes as a critical success instead. Note this ploy cannot come into effect more than once per activation (you cannot use it during both the Shoot and Fight action in the same activation).

Slink Into Darkness
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy at the end of a friendly WYRMBLADE operative’s activation. If that operative has an Engage order, change it to Conceal. You cannot use this ploy for each friendly operative more than once per battle.

Unquestioning Loyalty
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly WYRMBLADE CULT AGENT or WYRMBLADE LEADER operative is selected as the valid target of a Shoot action or to fight against during the Fight action. Select one other friendly WYRMBLADE NEOPHYTE operative (excluding LEADER) visible to and within 3" of that first friendly operative to become the valid target or to be fought against (as appropriate) instead (even if it wouldn’t normally be valid for this). If it’s the Fight action, treat that other operative as being within the fighting operative’s control range for the duration of that action. If it is the Shoot action, that other operative is only in cover or obscured if the original target was.

This ploy has no effect if it’s the Shoot action and the ranged weapon has the Blast or Torrent weapon rule.

Victory Points:

At the end of each turning point after the first, if any friendly operatives are carrying any of your Intelligence mission markers, you score 1VP.

At the end of the battle, for each of your Intelligence mission markers friendly operatives are carrying, you score 1VP.
