What to Know

Tactical Overview

Meet the Farstalker Kinband! A 12-model Kroot kill team of fast-moving hunters who excel at repositioning and ambushes. Their unique Farstalker rule lets you reorder operatives mid-phase, making them unpredictable. They're versatile - strong shooting with Balanced/Severe from Prey ploy, but also deadly in melee with Cut-Throats boosting attacks. Operatives like Cut-Skin and Stalker are melee specialists, while Long-Sight and Heavy Gunner provide firepower. They're not tough (5+ save, 8-9 wounds) but use ploys like Rogue for defense and Savage Ambush for reactive strikes. Play them as agile hunters who control the board through movement tricks and targeted eliminations!

Farstalker

Faction Rule

Change order of operatives in Strategy and Counteraction phases.

Farstalker Kinband 💀

Farstalker Kindbands move and fight instinctively, reacting to developing battlefield conditions with an inhuman speed of thought.

In the Ready step of each Strategy phase, you can change the order of up to three friendly Farstalker Kinband 💀 operatives that are not within control range of enemy operatives.

Whenever it's your turn to counteract, you can change the order of one friendly Farstalker Kinband 💀 operative that's not within control range of enemy operatives instead. This still counts as you counteracting (so activation alternates back to your opponent afterwards), but doesn't count as that friendly operative's counteraction for this turning point.

Other than HOUND and WARRIOR operatives, your kill team can only include each operative on this list once. Your kill team can only include up to two HOUND operatives.

Strategy Ploys

4 ploys

Cut-Throats

Strategy Ploy

Prey

Strategy Ploy

Gain Balanced and Severe when shooting.

Farstalker Kinband 💀

When a Kroot Farstalker has selected their target, the hunter's focus is directed fully towards bringing down their chosen prey.

Whenever a friendly Farstalker Kinband 💀 operative is shooting during an activation in which it hasn't performed the Charge , Fall Back or Reposition action, its ranged weapons have the Balanced and Severe weapon rules; if the weapon already has the Balanced weapon rule, it has the Ceaseless and Severe weapon rules instead. Note that operative isn't restricted from performing those actions after shooting.

Rogue

Strategy Ploy

Ignore Saturate, improve cover saves.

Farstalker Kinband 💀

Kroot Farstalkers are naturally gifted hunters, using cover and shadow to their advantage as they close in upon their prey.

Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly Farstalker Kinband 💀 operative: - Ignore the Saturate weapon rule. - If you can retain any cover saves, you can retain one additional cover save, or you can retain one cover save as a critical success instead. This isn't cumulative with improved cover saves from Vantage terrain.

Firefight Ploys

4 ploys

Savage Ambush

Firefight Ploy

Defender resolves first attack dice

Farstalker Kinband 💀

Kroot Farstalkers are ambush predators, relying upon stealth, speed and bursts of savage violence to take down their enemies.

Use this firefight ploy during the Fight action when a ready friendly Farstalker Kinband 💀 operative that has Light or Heavy terrain within its control range is selected to fight against. In the Resolve Attack Dice step of that sequence, you resolve the first attack dice (i.e. defender instead of attacker).

Poach

Firefight Ploy

Pick up markers without controlling them

Farstalker Kinband 💀

Farstalker Kindbands avoid protracted fights, using their speed and dexterity to advance upon and seize their objectives as swiftly as possible.

Use this firefight ploy during a friendly Farstalker Kinband 💀 operative's activation. Until the end of that activation, that operative doesn't have to control a marker to perform the Pick Up Marker or mission actions that usually require this (this takes precedence over that action's conditions - it only needs to contest the marker).

Slip Away

Firefight Ploy

Fall Back action costs 1 less AP

Vengeance for the Kinband

Firefight Ploy

Gain Relentless against killer until incapacitated

Farstalker Kinband 💀

Farstalker Kinbands are bonded by blood. The death of an ally awakes within the survivors a vengeful fury.

Until the end of the battle, whenever another friendly Farstalker Kinband 💀 operative is shooting against, fighting against or retaliating against that enemy operative, that other friendly operative's weapons have the Relentless weapon rule. You cannot use this ploy again during the battle until that enemy operative is incapacitated.
