Equipment

Chain Snare

Whenever an enemy operative would perform the Fall Back action while within control range of a friendly NEMESIS CLAW operative, if no other enemy operatives are within that friendly operative's control range, you can use this rule. If you do, roll 2D6, or 1D6 if that enemy operative has a higher Wounds stat than that friendly operative. If any result is a 4+, that enemy operative cannot perform that action during that activation or counteraction (No AP are spent on it), and you cannot use this rule again during this turning point.

Comms Jammer

Whenever an enemy operative is within 3" of a friendly NEMESIS CLAW operative, that enemy operative's APL stat cannot be added to. Note that this does not affect APL stats that have already been changed.

Flayed Skin

Whenever an enemy operative is shooting against, fighting against or retaliating against a friendly NEMESIS CLAW operative within 2" of it, your opponent cannot re-roll their attack dice results of 1.

Grisly Trophy

Once per Battle, when a friendly NEMESIS CLAW operative incapacitates an enemy operative within 2" of it, you can use this rule. If you do, that friendly operative gains one of your Grisly Trophy tokens (if it does not already have one). Whenever a friendly NEMESIS CLAW operative that has one of your Grisly Trophy tokens is visible to and within 2" of an enemy operative, subtract 1 from the ATK stat of that enemy operative's weapons.

Ploys

Preysight
Strategy Ploy

Whenever you are selecting a valid target for a friendly NEMESIS CLAW operative, enemy operatives within 6" cannot use Light terrain for cover. While this can allow such operatives to be targeted (assuming they are visible), it does not remove their cover save (if any).

Return To Darkness
Strategy Ploy

One friendly NEMESIS CLAW operative can immediately perform a free Fall Back or Reposition action, but it must end that move with Heavy terrain within its Control range, or any part of its base underneath Vantage terrain. In addition, it cannot move more than 4" during that action and it cannot end that move closer to enemy operatives (in a killzone that uses the close quarters rules, e.g. Killzone: Gallowdark, ignore Wall terrain when determining this).

The Black Hunt
Strategy Ploy

Whenever a friendly NEMESIS CLAW operative is shooting against, fighting against or retaliating against a wounded enemy operative, you can re-roll one of your attack dice.

We Have Come For You
Strategy Ploy

Whenever a friendly NEMESIS CLAW operative is activated, if the first action it performs during that activation is the Charge action, when it ends its move during that action, you can inflict D3 damage on one enemy operative within its control range.

Dirty Fighter
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly NEMESIS CLAW operative is retaliating, at the start of the Resolve Attack Dice step. You can resolve one of your successes before the normal order. If you do you cannot resolve any other successes during that sequence.

Death To The False Emperor
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy after rolling your attack dice for a friendly NEMESIS CLAW operative, if it’s shooting against, fighting against or retaliating against an enemy operative that has the IMPERIUM keyword. That friendly operative's weapons have the Ceaseless weapon rule until the end of the sequence; if that enemy operative also has the Adeptus Astartes keyword, that friendly operative's weapons have the Relentless weapon rule until the end of that sequence instead.
Ceaseless: Can re-roll any or all results of one value (e.g. all results of 2)
Relentless: Can re-roll any or all Attack dice.

Proclivity For Murder
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy after a friendly NEMESIS CLAW operative incapacitates an enemy operative whin its control range. That friendly operative can immediately perform a free Charge or Dash action (for the former, it cannot move more than 3") even if it has performed an action that prevents it from performing the Charge or Dash action.

Vox Scream
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy when your opponent would activate an enemy operative that is visible to a friendly NEMESIS CLAW operative. Roll one D6; if the result is higher than that enemy operative's APL stat, your opponent cannot activate it during this activation; if the result is less than or equal to that enemy operative's APL stat, this ploy is not used, the CP spent on it is refunded and you cannot use this ploy again during this turning point. If there are no other enemy operatives eligible to be activated, this ploy has no effect.
