FACTION RULES

DEPLOYMENT When setting up your kill team, the first third of your operatives must be deployed as normal. Each third thereafter can be set up above (reserves).

For each third set up above, the entire third must be set this way (you cannot split it). A minimum of 2 operatives must be set up in the killzone during deployment. You cannot set up your entire team above.

Operatives set up above can later be deployed during the battle using the LANDING OPERATIVES rules.

If you selected the Teleport Homer equipment, operatives set up above can land using its token as described in its rules. If you did not select the Teleport Homer, operatives set up above can only land within your drop zone.

LANDING OPERATIVES During the Firefight Phase, any friendly operatives set up above (in reserves) can be activated as normal. When you activate one, you may land that operative instead of expending it. To land an operative, follow these rules: Set it up in the killzone, in a valid location where it can be placed. It is no longer considered set up above.

The operative must be placed either:  → Within 3" horizontally of a Teleport Homer token,  → Or wholly within your drop zone. The operative cannot be placed within Engagement Range of enemy operatives, unless it is a Fighter operative (Fighters can land into Engagement Range).

The operative cannot be placed under Vantage terrain (i.e., under elevated positions). You may set its order (Engage or Conceal) freely when landing.

The operative is treated as performing a Reposition action (spending the AP accordingly).

Less than half of your operatives can be set up above by the end of the first turning point. In other words, by the end of the first turning point, more than half of your operatives must have been set up in the killzone during the battle.

ASTARTES Each operative can perform two Shoot actions or two Fight actions per activation. If performing two Shoot actions, a Storm Bolter must be selected for at least one of them. Each operative can perform Counteract regardless of its order (Engage or Conceal).
