Additional Rules

Mechanosuture Array

Once per turning point, when another friendly BATTLECLADE operative would be incapacitated while visible to and within 3" of this operative, you can use this rule, providing neither this nor that operative is within control range of an enemy operative. If you do, that friendly operative isn’t incapacitated, has 1 wound remaining and cannot be incapacitated for the remainder of the action. After that action, that friendly operative can immediately perform a free Dash action, but must end that move within this operative’s control range. If this rule was used during that friendly operative’s activation, that activation ends. You cannot use this rule if this operative is incapacitated, or if it’s a Shoot action and this operative would be a primary or secondary target.

Unique Actions

EXPEDIENT REPAIR 1AP

Select one friendly BATTLECLADE operative within this operative’s control range to regain up to D3+3 lost wounds. It cannot be an operative that the Mechanosuture Array rule was used on during this turning point.

Faction Rules

1 rules

NOOSPHERIC NETWORK

Faction Rule

Transfer power to reduce APL, then perform free 1AP action with another operative.

BATTLECLADE 💀

Servitors are yoked to their Tech-Priest masters by an invisible web of control. This noospheric network enables servitors to be rapidly reorganised, transferring processing power to other thralls who might better serve the Tech-Priests’ immediate wishes. While some are left to conform to their basic programming, others are instructed with key tasks that must be fulfilled for the glory of the Machine God.

Whenever a friendly BATTLECLADE 💀 SERVITOR operative is activated, you can TRANSFER POWER. If you do, subtract 1 from its APL stat until the end of that activation. After that activation, you can NETWORK COUNTERACT with one other friendly BATTLECLADE 💀 SERVITOR operative before your opponent activates. Whenever you NETWORK COUNTERACT with a friendly operative, first select its order. It can then perform a 1AP action for free, but cannot move. Once it’s done so, your opponent then activates as normal. An operative cannot TRANSFER POWER or NETWORK COUNTERACT if it has an APL stat of less than 2 (e.g., if the stat has been changed to less than 2 by a rule). NETWORK COUNTERACT is a counteraction, but the operative doesn’t need to be expended with an Engage order to do it. That means if they’re ready when they NETWORK COUNTERACT, they can still be activated as normal later in the turning point. An operative that does NETWORK COUNTERACT cannot do so again, or counteract, during the same turning point.

Strategy Ploys

4 ploys

NOOSPHERIC POSSESSION

Strategy Ploy

Grants Accurate 1 to nearby SERVITOR weapons.

BATTLECLADE 💀

By broadcasting portions of their neural architecture into their thralls, sometimes via a well-positioned relay, manipulative Servitor Underseers effectively possess their tools to better direct the Omnissiah’s wrath. SUPPORT. Whenever a friendly BATTLECLADE 💀 SERVITOR operative is within 6" of a friendly BATTLECLADE 💀 AUTO-PROXY or BATTLECLADE 💀 SERVITOR UNDERSEER operative, that friendly SERVITOR operative’s weapons have the Accurate 1 weapon rule. For the purposes of the Comms Device universal equipment, the operative the distance is being determined from must control that marker.

DUTY OF RECLAMATION

Strategy Ploy

Free Command Re-roll for BATTLECLADE on objectives.

BATTLECLADE 💀

Embedded in BATTLECLADE 💀 operatives are lurking strands of enhanced binharic doctrine. These instructions await the moment to activate, triggered by the proximity of a Tech-Priest’s designated prize. Once per action, you can use the Command Re-roll firefight ploy for 0CP if the attack or defence dice was rolled for a friendly BATTLECLADE 💀 operative that contests an objective marker or one of your mission markers.

INCANTATION OF THE IRON SOUL

Strategy Ploy

5+ chance to reduce damage 3+ by 1.

BATTLECLADE 💀

Through chanted binharic praise from the Tech-Priests, or sparked by holy subroutines, microactuators lock into bracing positions and reserve power cells are brought online. The flesh may be weak, but the sacred invulnerability of the Machine God’s augmetic blessings is evident to all. Whenever an attack dice inflicts damage of 3 or more on a friendly BATTLECLADE 💀 operative, roll one D6: on a 5+, subtract 1 from that inflicted damage.

PRIORITISED ACQUISITION

Strategy Ploy

Boosts APL and melee Atk near selected marker.

BATTLECLADE 💀

Acquisition is a holy task to a Technoarcheologist, and their zealous fanaticism bleeds into their binharic instructions. Faced with the sacrilege of thieves, aggression protocols are initiated and biochemical stimulants are released in their thralls, endowing all with a measure of their master’s repugnance. Select one objective marker or one of your mission markers. - Whenever determining control of that marker, treat the total APL stat of friendly BATTLECLADE 💀 operatives that contest it as 1 higher if at least one friendly BATTLECLADE 💀 operative contests that marker. Note this isn’t a change to the APL stat, so any changes are cumulative with this. - Whenever a friendly BATTLECLADE 💀 operative is within 3" of that marker, add 1 to the Atk stat of its melee weapons (to a maximum of 4).

Firefight Ploys

4 ploys

SYSTEM EXORCISM

Firefight Ploy

Remove one enemy effect, then activate operative.

BATTLECLADE 💀

By redirecting sensory pathways, purging contaminants or unleashing feral machine spirits to consume tainted logic loops, the elite operatives of a Battleclade can exorcise many dangerous afflictions.

Use this firefight ploy when you would activate a friendly BATTLECLADE 💀 operative. Remove one rules effect or stat change your opponent has applied to it (e.g. Poison token, -1APL, cannot be activated or perform actions, etc), then activate it. This ploy cannot allow it to regain lost wounds, ignore the effects of being injured, remove mission pack rules or remove -1APL that you’ve applied to it (i.e. from TRANSFER POWER).

REMOTE ACCESS

Firefight Ploy

Perform mission actions without marker control range.

BATTLECLADE 💀

Projecting a canticle of hexamathic authority, the most worthy Tech-Priests can commune with intransigent machine spirits even without physical contact.

Use this firefight ploy during a friendly BATTLECLADE 💀 TECH-PRIEST operative’s activation. Once during that activation, you can use one of the following rules: - That operative doesn’t require a marker to be within its control range to perform a mission action that usually requires this (this takes precedence over that action’s conditions). Instead, the marker must be within 4" of it and no enemy operatives can contest that marker. However, you can ignore enemy operatives within control range of other friendly BATTLECLADE 💀 operatives when determining this. - That operative doesn’t require a hatchway’s access point to be within its control range to perform an Operate Hatch action. Instead, that access point must be within 4" of it.

AUTO-FERRIC SUPPLICATION

Firefight Ploy

Ignore Piercing rule when shot at.

SERVILE SURROGACY

Firefight Ploy

Redirect attack to nearby SERVITOR operative.

BATTLECLADE 💀

Deeply woven into each thrall’s cybernetic programming is the instinct to bodily shield their masters should they be threatened.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly BATTLECLADE 💀 TECH-PRIEST operative is selected as the valid target of a Shoot action or to fight against during the Fight action. Select one friendly BATTLECLADE 💀 SERVITOR operative 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 SERVITOR operative as being within the fighting operative’s control range for the duration of that action. If it’s the Shoot action, that SERVITOR 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.

BATTLECLADE 💀

Using filthy bodysuits of local design, falsified insignia or emitters that broadcast shrouding static-filled hisses to foil biological senses, this Battleclade can infiltrate into restricted areas undetected.

After revealing this equipment option, roll one D3. As a STRATEGIC GAMBIT in the first turning point, a number of friendly BATTLECLADE 💀 operatives equal to the result that are wholly within your drop zone can immediately perform a free Reposition action, but must end that move wholly within 3" of your drop zone.

You can swap the locations of any number of friendly BATTLECLADE 💀 SERVITOR operatives with each other (excluding GUN SERVITOR), and you can swap the locations of friendly BATTLECLADE 💀 GUN SERVITOR operatives with each other (remove them from the killzone and set them back up again). You cannot swap any operatives that have done any of the following during the battle: - Used any weapons on their datacard. - Performed any actions on their datacard. - Used the Mechanosuture Array rule (see TECHNOMEDIC).

NEUROCYCLIC RESERVE CELLS

Faction Equipment

Transfer power without APL loss, no Shoot or Fight.

BATTLECLADE 💀

Battleclades are granted these devices to accelerate servitor capabilities.

After revealing this equipment option, roll one D3. A number of times during the battle equal to the result, whenever you TRANSFER POWER, you can use this rule. If you do, don’t subtract 1 from the operative’s APL stat, but it cannot perform Shoot or Fight actions during that activation (this takes precedence over the normal Noospheric Network rules).

Universal Equipment

10 items

AMMO CACHE

Universal Equipment

BATTLECLADE 💀

Whether stockpiles deliberately set out for warriors to access quickly, or the abandoned munitions of the slain, these caches can prove vital for a swift reload in the heat of battle.

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 0AP 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 isn’t yours, or if that marker has been used this turning point.

RAZOR WIRE

Universal Equipment

Razor wire is Exposed and Obstructing terrain. Before the battle, you can set it up wholly within your territory, on the killzone foor 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

Universal Equipment

BATTLECLADE 💀

Communications devices can be swiftly hijacked and employed to coordinate operations or call in support during a frefght.

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 beneft from your opponent’s Comms Device markers.

MINES

Universal Equipment

BATTLECLADE 💀

The battlefields of the 41st Millennium are plagued by myriad types of mine, from simple frag charges to monofilament web‑snares and microplasma charges. Ultimately, all serve a similar, horrible purpose.

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.

LIGHT BARRICADES

Universal Equipment

BATTLECLADE 💀

Designed to be lugged into place and then deployed by operatives and combat engineers, these barriers are proof against small arms fire.

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

Universal Equipment

LADDERS

Universal Equipment

BATTLECLADE 💀

Carried into battle in their compacted forms, these ladders provide a rapid route of ingress to strongholds, or access to vital vantage points.

Ladders are 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. In addition, an operative can either move through ladders as if they aren’t there (but cannot fnish on them), or climb them. Once per action, whenever an operative is climbing this terrain feature, treat the vertical distance as 1". Note that if an operative then continues climbing another terrain feature during that action (including another ladder), that distance is determined as normal.

UTILITY GRENADES

Universal Equipment

BATTLECLADE 💀

From neuro‑suppressant psybombs to smoke‑belching chemical charges, grenades of this sort can suppress the enemy and be the diference between life and death.

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. STUN GRENADE 1AP 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.

EXPLOSIVE GRENADES

Universal Equipment

BATTLECLADE 💀

A variety of offensive grenades are employed by the forces of the 41st Millennium. These range from simple fragmentation grenades to plasma and gravitic concussion grenades, while even more exotic devices are used to crack open enemy armour.

When you select this equipment, select two explosive grenades (2 frag, 2 krak, or 1 frag and 1 krak). Each selection is a ranged weapon your operatives can use, but your kill team can only use that weapon a total number of times during the battle equal to your selection.

PORTABLE BARRICADE

Universal Equipment

BATTLECLADE 💀

Little more than a suppression shield with armoured feet, these barricades can be hefted and borne forwards to provide mobile cover.

A portable barricade is Light, Protective and Portable 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. 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 1AP 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 kill team’s rules that remove it and set it back up again (e.g. HEARTHKYN SALVAGER FLY, MANDRAKE SHADOW PASSAGE). Before this operative moves, remove the portable barricade it’s connected to. After it moves, set up the portable barricade so it’s 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 during the same activation in which it performed the Fall Back or Charge action.
