Rules Commentary

3 Q&As

If I use the Rain of Tears Howling Banshee ASPECT TECHNIQUE but am prevented from performing a free Fall Back action as a result of my opponent's rules (e.g. NEMESIS CLAW Chain Snare), what happens?

The ASPECT TECHNIQUE is still used. The fight sequence ends, but that BLADES OF KHAINE HOWLING BANSHEE operative remains in its current location.

If I use the Strike and Fade Striking Scorpion ASPECT TECHNIQUE, could an opponent interrupt my activation (e.g. as a result of the Guard action) before I change that BLADES OF KHAINE STRIKING SCORPION operative's order to Conceal?

No, but they can interrupt before that STRIKING SCORPION operative performs the free Dash action.

If an operative is able to perform two Shoot actions in an activation and uses the Slicing Hurricane Dire Avenger ASPECT TECHNIQUE, can it perform both Shoot actions during the same Reposition action?

Yes.

Aspect Techniques

Faction Rule

Use one matching Aspect Technique per activation, limited by turning point.

Blades of Khaine 💀

Aspect Warriors are trained in myriad killing techniques, parrying blows and acrobatic movements. These are as breathtaking to behold as they are lethal to their foes.

Each ASPECT TECHNIQUE is in a category: Dire Avenger, Howling Banshee and Striking Scorpion. Each ASPECT TECHNIQUE can only be used with a friendly operative that has the matching Aspect keyword, and each will specify when it can be used and what its effects are. In addition: - You cannot use more than one ASPECT TECHNIQUE per activation or counteraction. - You cannot use each ASPECT TECHNIQUE more than once per turning point. - If every friendly Blades of Khaine 💀 operative selected for deployment has the same Aspect keyword (e.g. STRIKING SCORPION), you cannot use each ASPECT TECHNIQUE more than twice per turning point (instead of once).

The Woe

Faction Rule

After incapacitating an enemy in fight, perform a free Charge action with remaining move.

Blades of Khaine 💀

Howling Banshees are woe given form. Emitting sonic screeches from their helms, they hurl themselves into the stunned foe, the lightning speed of their swordplay cutting through the enemy before a blow can be landed in return.

Use this ASPECT TECHNIQUE during a friendly HOWLING BANSHEE operative's activation, after it's performed the CHARGE action and incapacitated an enemy operative during the FIGHT action, and is no longer within control range of enemy operatives. That friendly operative can immediately perform a free CHARGE action using any remaining move distance it had from that first CHARGE action. That operative can perform two CHARGE actions during its activation to do so. The operative cannot have performed any other actions during this activation (but can do so after resolving this ASPECT TECHNIQUE).

Rain of Tears

Faction Rule

After critical hit in fight, end sequence and perform free Fall Back up to 3 inches.

Blades of Khaine 💀

Howling Banshees dive in and out of combat with infuriating speed and agility, making it almost impossible for those few who survive their most brutal attacks to strike in return.

Use this ASPECT TECHNIQUE when a friendly HOWLING BANSHEE operative is fighting, after you strike with a critical success, if the enemy operative isn't incapacitated. End that sequence (any remaining attack dice are discarded) and immediately perform a free FALL BACK action up to 3" with that operative (then the FIGHT action ends). That operative can do so even if it's performed an action that prevents it from performing the FALL BACK action.

Scream-That-Steals

Faction Rule

Resolve one success early to block during fight or retaliation.

Blades of Khaine 💀

Any hope the foe has of retaining the upper hand over a Howling Banshee is lost the moment the leaping Aspect Warrior activates their Banshee mask. Their senses overwhelmed, the enemy are all but helpless against the merciless melee attacks that follow.

Use this ASPECT TECHNIQUE when a friendly HOWLING BANSHEE operative is fighting or retaliating, at the start of the Resolve Attack Dice step. You can resolve one of your successes before the normal order. If you do, that success must be used to block.

Acrobatic

Faction Rule

Ignore vertical distances, move through enemies, and limit Charge move during movement actions.

Blades of Khaine 💀

When Howling Banshees traverse the battlefield, little slows them down. With effortless grace they leap and flip over intervening obstacles, landing with peerless poise and balance to drive their blades into the foe.

Use this ASPECT TECHNIQUE when a friendly HOWLING BANSHEE operative performs an action in which it moves. Until the end of the action, that operative: - Can ignore all vertical distances whenever it drops and climbs. - Can move through enemy operatives, move within control range of them, and during the CHARGE action can leave their control range (it must still end the move following all requirements for that move). - Cannot move more than its Move stat if it's the CHARGE action.

Shriek-That-Kills

Faction Rule

Use Shriek-That-Kills ranged weapon with Saturate, Seek Light, Stun, and Torrent during Shoot.

Blades of Khaine 💀

Those Howling Banshees who have learned how to focus their vocal chords correctly can emit a shriek so piercing and deafening that it can not only stun a foe, but liquefy their brain.

Use this ASPECT TECHNIQUE when a friendly HOWLING BANSHEE operative is performing the SHOOT action. Until the end of that action, that operative can use the Shriek-That-Kills ranged weapon.

The Slicing Hurricane

Faction Rule

Perform Shoot action during Reposition with specified weapons and use remaining move.

Blades of Khaine 💀

Trained to embrace supreme tactical flexibility, Dire Avengers are capable of unleashing clouds of razor-sharp shuriken while moving to secure ground or slipping out of reach of the foe.

Use this ASPECT TECHNIQUE when a friendly DIRE AVENGER operative is performing the REPOSITION action. That operative can perform the SHOOT action during that action (it must do so in a location it can be placed, and any remaining move distance it had from that REPOSITION action can be used after it does so). You must select its shuriken catapult, shuriken pistol or twin shuriken catapult for that SHOOT action.

Vigilance of the Avenger

Faction Rule

Shuriken weapons gain Lethal 5+ during Shoot action.

Blades of Khaine 💀

The noble warrior who is tasked with punishing the unjust and the criminal must be ever vigilant. Their eyes must be keen and their aim must be true.

Use this ASPECT TECHNIQUE when a friendly DIRE AVENGER operative is performing the SHOOT action and you select a shuriken catapult or twin shuriken catapult. Until the end of that action, that weapon has the Lethal 5+ weapon rule.

Death of a Thousand Blades

Faction Rule

Shuriken weapons gain Torrent 2 inches with one secondary target during Shoot.

Blades of Khaine 💀

Dire Avengers can unleash great deluges of monomolecular shuriken from their weapons. These lethal volleys echo the Death of a Thousand Blades - the punishment that Khaine meted out upon traitors, cheats and others he deemed unworthy of a clean kill.

Unstinting, Immovable

Faction Rule

Discard one fail to retain another as success when shot at with two or more fails.

Blades of Khaine 💀

Dire Avengers wear armour fashioned from psycho-sensitive thermoplas scales that are reactive to impact. When suffering a blow, the armour stiffens to spread the energy across the wearer. On top of this flexible suit, these Aspect Warriors wear bone-like plates over the most vulnerable areas of their body.

Use this ASPECT TECHNIQUE when an operative is shooting a friendly DIRE AVENGER operative, and you've rolled two or more fails. You can discard one of them to retain the other as a normal success instead.

Raging Heat of the Dying Flame

Faction Rule

Ignore injury stat changes until next activation.

Blades of Khaine 💀

The flames upon shrines of Asuryan possess a searing heat and never burn out, even if they dwindle. Thus does the Dire Avenger strive to imitate these flames, equally dangerous to the foe regardless of the injuries they sustain.

Use this ASPECT TECHNIQUE during a friendly DIRE AVENGER operative's activation. Until the start of that operative's next activation, you can ignore any changes to its stats from being injured (including its weapons' stats).

Strike and Fade

Faction Rule

After incapacitating enemy, change to Conceal and perform free Dash action.

Blades of Khaine 💀

Masters of the hit and run attack, Striking Scorpions withdraw from combat as suddenly as they strike, disappearing into shadow like murderous spirits.

Use this ASPECT TECHNIQUE when a friendly STRIKING SCORPION operative incapacitates an enemy operative while fighting or retaliating, and is no longer within 3" of enemy operatives. Change that friendly operative's order to Conceal and it can immediately perform a free DASH action, even if it's performed an action that prevents it from performing the DASH action.

Patient Stalk, Sudden Blow

Faction Rule

Move near enemies during Reposition and inflict D3+2 damage on one.

Blades of Khaine 💀

Carefully concealed in cover or in shadows, Striking Scorpions stalk their oblivious prey, manoeuvring around their targets in complete silence to select the optimum position to launch their killing strike.

Use this ASPECT TECHNIQUE when a friendly STRIKING SCORPION operative that has a Conceal order performs the REPOSITION action. During that action, that operative can move within control range of enemy operatives (it cannot end the move there), and you can inflict D3+2 damage on one enemy operative it moved within control range of after it's moved.

Scorpion's Eye

Faction Rule

Shuriken pistol gains Seek Light during Shoot action.

Blades of Khaine 💀

A Striking Scorpion's shuriken pistol has a viewfinder psychically linked to its bearer. With it, the Aspect Warrior can see through multiple spectra as well as swiftly identify friend from foe.

Use this ASPECT TECHNIQUE when a friendly STRIKING SCORPION operative is performing the SHOOT action and you select a shuriken pistol. Until the end of that action, that weapon has the Seek Light weapon rule.

Merciless Strikes

Faction Rule

After first critical hit in fight, melee weapon gains Shock for the sequence.

Blades of Khaine 💀

When Striking Scorpions launch their assault, they attack with relentless ferocity, landing blow after blow to grant the enemy no moment or reprieve.

Use this ASPECT TECHNIQUE when a friendly STRIKING SCORPION operative is fighting, the first time you strike with a critical success during that sequence. Until the end of that sequence, that operative's melee weapon has the Shock weapon rule.

One with the Gloom

Faction Rule

Cannot be targeted while in cover with Conceal order, except within 2 inches.

Blades of Khaine 💀

Years of strict training render Striking Scorpions capable of blending uncannily with the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to attack their unsuspecting foes with terrifying accuracy.

Use this ASPECT TECHNIQUE during a friendly STRIKING SCORPION operative's activation. Until the start of its next activation, while that operative has a Conceal order and is in cover, it cannot be selected as a valid target, taking precedence over all other rules (e.g. Seek, Vantage terrain) except being within 2".

Blades of Khaine 💀

The martial superiority of the Aeldari species is expressed by their Aspect Warriors, who dance through incoming fire and heavy strikes with contemptuous ease.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly Blades of Khaine 💀 operative is retaliating or an enemy operative is shooting it, after your opponent rolls their attack dice, but before re-rolls. Until the end of the sequence, your opponent cannot re-roll their attack dice (if your opponent declared the use of any firefight ploys during that sequence that would allow them to re-roll, that ploy is cancelled and the CP spent on it is refunded).
