What to Know

Tactical Overview

Meet the Farstalker Kinband: a 12-model Kroot kill team of fast, versatile hunters! Their unique Farstalker rule lets you reorder operatives for tactical flexibility. They excel at both shooting (with ploys like Prey for Balanced/Severe weapons) and melee (Cut-Throats boosts attacks). Operatives are fast (Move 6-8) but fragile (Save 5+, 7-9 wounds), with specialists like the stealthy Stalker, sniper Long-Sight, and brutal Cut-Skin. Use Hounds for harassment and ploys like Rogue for defense. Outmaneuver and outsmart your prey!

Farstalker

Faction Rule

reorder friendly operatives during Ready step and on your counteract turn

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

Add 1 to melee Atk stat, max 5.

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.

Bound

Strategy Ploy

Ignore first 2" vertical climb distance.

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.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly Farstalker Kinband 💀 operative is incapacitated by an enemy operative. 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.

Faction Equipment

4 items

Faction Equipment

Once per turn, grants Piercing 1 to Kroot firearms

Farstalker Kinband 💀

The Kroot make use of many forms of specially crafted ammunition. Bullets tipped with hardened alloys can punch through cover and armour alike.

Once per turning point, when a friendly Farstalker Kinband 💀 operative is performing the Shoot action and you select a Kroot rifle, Kroot scattergun or dual Kroot pistols (focused), you can use this rule. If you do, until the end of that action, that weapon has the Piercing 1 weapon rule. You cannot use the Piercing Shot and Toxin Shot rule during the same action.

Meat

Faction Equipment

Toxin Shot

Faction Equipment

Once per turn, grants Lethal 5+ and Stun to Kroot firearms

Farstalker Kinband 💀

Kroot toxin bullets contain reservoirs of venom extracted from various alien fauna, all of which is incredibly lethal.

Once per turning point, when a friendly Farstalker Kinband 💀 operative is performing the Shoot action and you select a Kroot rifle, Kroot scattergun or dual Kroot pistols (focused), you can use this rule. If you do, until the end of that action, that weapon has the Lethal 5+ and Stun weapon rules. You cannot use the Piercing Shot and Toxin Shot rule during the same action.

Trophy

Faction Equipment

Once per battle, +1 APL if not near enemies

Farstalker Kinband 💀

Kroot Farstalkers seek to cut down the most powerful of foes. They will aggressively pursue any enemy they judge worthy and harvest trophies from the corpse.

If you do, add 1 to that friendly operative's APL stat until the end of its activation.
