Stormboyz - Ork Airborne Shock Troops

Stormboys utilize special explosive devices manufactured by the mek boyz in their warband

Once per turning point, a friendly STORMBOY operative (Excluding STORMBOY Gitseeker) can select the following weapon when performing the shoot action:

Firebombs: ATK: 3, HIT: 2+, DMG: 3/3, WR: Range 6", Blast 3", Saturate

Once per battle, one freindly STORMBOY Gunner or Divebomber operative can ignore the Limited weapon rule of its ranged weapons. If you choose the STORMBOY Divebomber operative, replace the Explosive weapon rule with the Range 8" weapon rule instead.

As a STRATEGIC GAMBIT, up to 3 of your freindly STORMBOY operatives gain one of your afterburner tokens. Increase the move stat of Operatives with this token by 1".

After the first turning point, when you would activate an operative with one of your afterburner tokens, roll one D3:

• On a 1 that operative takes 1 damage at the end of its activation.
• On a 2 that operative cannot FLY.
• On a 3 that operative can perform a free Dash action until the end if its next activation and doing so does not count towards action restrictions.

When the result of the D3 has been resolved, remove the afterburner token.

You can select this equipment option during the select operatives step of the mission sequence. If you do so, select one freindly STORMBOY GROT operative. That operative will not be placed on the killzone. Instead, select one freindly STORMBOY operative (Excluding Grot Gitseeker and Grot Glidebomber operatives) to gain one of your Grot Handlebar tokens. A freindly STORMBOY operative with your Grot Handlebar token gains a bonus APL until the end of the battle.

Whenever you would activate the operative you selected as part of the rules of this equipment, it cannot perform the Charge, Reposition, Dash, Fly, or Fallback actions. Visability of this operative is determined from the head of the freindly STORMBOY operative with the grot handlebar token. Whenever an opponent is shooting an operative with your Grot Handlebar tokens they can select either operative as the target if the one with the token is a valid target.

For determining whether each operative is ready or expended, use the grot handlebar token face up or face down to signify ready or expended for the selected Grot operative.

The selected grot operative activates immediately after the freindly STORMBOY operative with the grot handlebar token does (or vice versa). This does not affect counteractions.

Even the most brutal of stormboy bosses knows the value in retreating from a firefight if it means devising a plan even more kunnin than the last.

Use this ploy when a freindly STORMBOY Kaptin operative is within 3" of your dropzone edge and is wounded or if it becomes injured (you can interrupt your opponents activation or ongoing actions to do so). That freindly STORMBOY Kaptin operative can immediately perform a free Dash, Reposition, or Fallback action. If it ends that move wholly within your territory you gain 1CP. If it ends that move within 3" of your dropzone edge you gain 2CP instead.

Use this ploy whenever you end the activation of a freindly STORMBOY operative (excluding the Firebomber and Divebomber operatives). Until the start of the next turning point that operative and any operative wholly within 1" of it are obscured (to any operatives not within 2" of them) if any of the following are true:

• It did not move or be set up more than its move stat.
• It did not FLY.

Use this ploy whenever an enemy operative is activated or ends an action within control range of freindly STORMBOY Firebomber, Divebomber, or Glidebomber operatives. Inflict D3 damage on that enemy operative or D3 +2 damage if the freindly STORMBOY operative has one of your afterburner tokens.

Use this ploy after your opponent rolls attack dice for a shooting attack against a freindly STORMBOY operative in control range of an objective marker. Before you roll your defence dice you can do one of the following:

• Retain one save dice as a success without rolling it.
• Immediately perform a free Mission action with the targeted operative (You can interrupt your opponents action to do so).

If the damage taken is enough to incapacitate your operative, they can perform the free Dash action before being removed from the killzone.

The infamous and dreaded battle cry of the Orks heralds a tempest of violence and butchery.

Friendly STORMBOY operarives' melee weapons have the Balanced weapon rule.

Freindly STORMBOY operatives can perform a free Pick Up Marker or Place Marker action when they perform a Reposition or Dash action. During that move, you can determine control of that marker during that action, and any remaining move distance it had from the Dash or Reposition action can be used after it does so.

Whenever a freindly STORMBOY operative (Excluding Grot Gitseeker and Grot Glidebomber operatives) finishes a Charge action, roll a stun test for every operative within its control range. For an operative to take a stun test, roll one D6: on a 4+, subtract 1 from its APL stat until the end of its next activation.

Freindly STORMBOY operatives ignore the movement changes from being injured.
