Additional Rules

Vigilant Marksman

This operative can perform the Guard action during its activation regardless of the killzone (see close quarters rules, Kill Team: Tomb World). When using the close quarters rules, once per turning point, after this operative performs a free Shoot action on guard, it can immediately perform a free Guard action. However, if it does, it cannot counteract (nor Guard twice if it’s counteracted).

Faction Rules

2 rules

VETERAN ASTARTES

Faction Rule

Perform two Shoot or Fight actions per activation, with restrictions on certain weapons. Counteract and gain a free 1AP action.

DEATHWATCH 💀

These genetically modified superhumans are made to wage unending war. Their skills have been honed over long years of battle and further refined with specialist knowledge through their Long Vigil.

During each friendly DEATHWATCH 💀 operative’s activation, it can perform either two Shoot actions or two Fight actions. If it’s two Shoot actions and an auxiliary grenade launcher, frag cannon, heavy plasma incinerator, infernus heavy bolter, plasma pistol or stalker bolt rifle is selected for both, 1 additional AP must be spent for the second action. Each friendly DEATHWATCH 💀 operative can counteract regardless of its order. Whenever it does, it can perform an additional 1AP action for free during that counteraction, but both actions must be different.

SPECIAL ISSUE AMMUNITION

Faction Rule

Once per turn, add a weapon rule like Blast or Lethal to ranged weapons during a Shoot action.

DEATHWATCH 💀

The Deathwatch utilise a range of specialised ammunition in many of their weapons. Each type is designed to eliminate specific xenos foes.

Once per turning point, when a friendly DEATHWATCH 💀 operative is performing the Shoot action, in the Select Weapon step, you can use this rule. If you do, select one of the following weapon rules for that operative’s ranged weapons to have until the end of the action. This rule cannot be used with explosive grenades (see universal equipment) or melta bombs. - Blast 1" (you cannot select this if the weapon profile being used has the Torrent weapon rule) - Devastating 1 - Lethal 5+ - Piercing 1 - Rending - Saturate - Severe

4 ploys

SUFFER NOT THE ALIEN

Firefight Ploy

re-roll attack dice

DEATHWATCH 💀

Every tool at their disposal, every scrap of knowledge, is sharpened upon the whetstone of the Deathwatch’s hatred of the alien.

Use this firefight ploy after rolling your attack dice for a friendly DEATHWATCH 💀 operative, if it’s shooting against or fighting against an operative that doesn’t have the CHAOS or IMPERIUM keyword. You can re-roll any of your attack dice.

AUSPICATOR TRACKING

Firefight Ploy

change order when counteracting

ADVANCED AUSPEX SCAN

Firefight Ploy

gain Saturate and ignore obscurement

DEATHWATCH 💀

Between unstinting sweeps of their bioscryer cufs, their inbuilt auspexes warning of hostile threats and the augmented instincts of the Deathwatch themselves, no lurking threat can long evade their sights.

Use this frefght ploy when a friendly DEATHWATCH 💀 operative performs the Shoot action. Until the end of the activation/counteraction, its ranged weapons have the Saturate weapon rule and enemy operatives cannot be obscured.

TRANSHUMAN PHYSIOLOGY

Firefight Ploy

Faction Equipment

4 items

DIGITAL WEAPONS

Faction Equipment

Once per turning point, inflict 1 damage in Fight action.

DEATHWATCH 💀

Various high-powered lasers, toxic needlers, incineration projectors and more are concealed as bionic implants or in the knuckles of gauntlets. They lack the power to be used at range, but can be triggered up close to exploit a weakness while the enemy fends off the main attack.

Once per turning point, when a friendly DEATHWATCH 💀 operative performs the Fight action, at the start of the Roll Attack Dice step, you can use this rule. If you do, inflict 1 damage on the enemy operative in that sequence.

SCRUTAVORE SERVO-THRALL

Faction Equipment

Once per turning point, reduce mission action AP cost by 1.

DEATHWATCH 💀

This specialised servo-skull circles a kill team’s deployment on anti-grav motors, consuming data at a voracious rate before dissecting it and feeding the resultant analyses to the battle-brothers to provide maximum strategic awareness. Many are built upon the skulls of loyal serfs, though some are constructed around the sanctified craniums of defeated xenos.

Once per turning point, during a friendly DEATHWATCH 💀 operative’s activation, you can use this rule. If you do, during that activation, that operative can perform a mission action for 1 less AP. Having an enemy operative within its control range doesn’t prevent that friendly operative from performing that mission action. However, in such an instance, after it does so, you and your opponent roll-off. If your opponent wins, you cannot use this equipment for the rest of the battle.

SANCTUS-V BIOSCRYER CUFFS

Faction Equipment

Once per activation, regain D3 wounds or remove APL/token changes.

DEATHWATCH 💀

Developed by Techmarines and Apothecaries of the Castilos Nullifact watch fortress, these vambrace-mounted monitron relays offer unparalleled analysis and purgation of a range of bio-threats to the wearer’s augmented physiology.

Once during each friendly DEATHWATCH 💀 operative’s activation, before or after it performs an action, if it’s not within control range of enemy operatives, you can use this rule. If you do, select one of the following: - That friendly operative regains up to D3 lost wounds. - Remove any changes to that friendly operative’s APL stat. - Remove one of the following tokens that friendly operative has (before that token’s activation effects are resolved, if relevant): Neutron Fragment, Poison, Terrorchem.

AMMUNITION RESERVE

Faction Equipment

Once per battle, use Special Issue Ammunition for two Shoot actions.

DEATHWATCH 💀

Awarded to kill teams whose marksmanship is as efficient as it is lethal, additional caches of individually crafted shells, fuel canisters and ammunition cells serve to secure victory during the most dangerous missions.

Once per battle, you can use the Special Issue Ammunition faction rule for up to two Shoot actions during one turning point, but you must select different weapon rules for both uses. This takes precedence over the normal Special Issue Ammunition rules.

Universal Equipment

10 items

AMMO CACHE

Universal Equipment

RAZOR WIRE

Universal Equipment

DEATHWATCH 💀

Spooled rapidly out and affixed to jutting posts, razor wire acts as an easily deployed barrier and a painful deterrent to enemy operatives seeking to attack along particular routes.

Razor wire is Exposed and Obstructing 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. 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

DEATHWATCH 💀

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

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 benefit from your opponent’s Comms Device markers.

MINES

Universal Equipment

DEATHWATCH 💀

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

DEATHWATCH 💀

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

DEATHWATCH 💀

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 finish 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

DEATHWATCH 💀

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

EXPLOSIVE GRENADES

Universal Equipment

DEATHWATCH 💀

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

DEATHWATCH 💀

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.
