Faction Rules

4 rules

Techno-Curse

Faction Rule

Choose one curse to apply symptoms to enemies within range.

Gellerpox Infected 💀

The Gellerpox is an insidious techno-curse that wends its way into cogitator systems and mechanical components, spreading its dubious gifts to the unsuspecting.

At the end of the Select Operatives step, select one TECHNO-CURSE for friendly Gellerpox Infected 💀 operatives to gain for the battle. Whenever an enemy operative is within your selected TECHNO-CURSE's infection range, that enemy operative is affected by the symptom of the selected TECHNO-CURSE. Each TECHNO-CURSE, its infection range and its symptom is listed below:

Mutoid Vermin

Faction Rule

Limited actions, ignored for objectives, and Fall Back costs 1 less AP.

Gellerpox Infected 💀

Tiny pests become monstrous threats under the effects of the Gellerpox, but are still grubs that can be ignored by highly trained warriors.

MUTOID VERMIN operatives cannot perform any actions other than Charge, Dash, Fall Back, Fight, Reposition and Shoot, or use any weapons that aren't on their datacard. They can perform the Fall Back action for 1 less AP. MUTOID VERMIN operatives cannot contest markers or areas of the killzone, and are ignored for your opponent's kill/elimination op (when they're incapacitated, and when determining your starting number of operatives). They're also ignored for victory conditions and scoring VPs if either require operatives to 'escape', 'survive' or be incapacitated by enemy operatives (if they escape/survive/are incapacitated, determining how many operatives must escape/survive/be incapacitated, etc.).

Nightmare Hulks

Faction Rule

Cannot use Light cover, restricted actions, and increased AP for some actions.

Gellerpox Infected 💀

Several among the infected have had their forms bloated and swollen into enormous twisted creatures, blessed with the bounteous gifts of Nurgle. Though made powerful by such mutations, these monstrosities are somewhat clumsy in their movements.

Whenever your opponent is selecting a valid target, friendly Gellerpox Infected 💀 NIGHTMARE HULK operatives cannot use Light terrain for cover. While this can allow such operatives to be targeted (assuming they're visible), it doesn't remove their cover save (if any). Friendly Gellerpox Infected 💀 NIGHTMARE HULK operatives cannot perform unique actions. You must spend 1 additional AP for friendly Gellerpox Infected 💀 NIGHTMARE HULK operatives (excluding Vulgrar Thrice-Cursed) to perform the Pick Up Marker and mission actions (excluding Operate Hatch). Operatives can move through MUTOID VERMIN operatives, and enemy operatives can move within control range of them. Having only MUTOID VERMIN operatives within their control range doesn't prevent enemy operatives from performing the Charge, Dash and Reposition action, and enemy operatives can leave MUTOID VERMIN operatives' control range when performing the Charge action.

Revoltingly Resilient

Faction Rule

Roll to reduce damage of 3+ by 1 on certain operatives.

Strategy Ploys

4 ploys

Plagueridden Determination

Strategy Ploy

Reroll one defence dice when shooting friendly operative

Drawn to the Hum

Strategy Ploy

Add 1" to Move if ending near selected objective

Gellerpox Infected 💀

The gentle thrum of machinery has an irresistible effect upon the infected, pulling them in like insects drawn to a blazing lumen.

Select one objective marker. Whenever a friendly Gellerpox Infected 💀 operative performs the REPOSITION or CHARGE action during its activation, you can use this rule. If you do, add 1" to its Move stat until the end of that activation, but it must end that move within 2" of that objective marker.

Blessings of Infection

Strategy Ploy

Discard fails to improve fight or retaliation results

Gellerpox Infected 💀

The mutagenic properties and corrupting influence of the Gellerpox lend the infected brutal strength and gleeful determination.

Whenever a friendly Gellerpox Infected 💀 operative is fighting or retaliating, you can do one of the following:

If you roll three or more fails, you can discard one of them to retain another as a normal success instead.
If you roll three or more successes, you can discard one of your fails to retain one of your normal successes as a critical success instead.

Rust Emanations

Strategy Ploy

Opponent cannot retain 3s as successes in fights

Firefight Ploys

4 ploys

Revolting Technology

Firefight Ploy

Enemy ranged weapons gain Hot rule or modify roll

Gellerpox Infected 💀

The Gellerpox's infectious tendrils reach out to corrupt the mechanical, rendering weapons and machinery dangerous to their operators.

Use this firefight ploy when an enemy operative is shooting a friendly Gellerpox Infected 💀 operative. That operative's ranged weapons have the Hot weapon rule until the end of that sequence; if the weapon already has that weapon rule, when your opponent rolls one D6 for that weapon rule, you can add or subtract 1 from the result. Note that for the latter you can see the result of your opponent's roll for the Hot weapon rule before deciding to use this ploy.

Putrescent Demise

Firefight Ploy

Deal damage to nearby enemies on death

Gellerpox Infected 💀

As a Gellerpox Infected perishes, their body explodes in a shower of acrid disease and hazardous gore that harms all caught in its blast.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly Gellerpox Infected 💀 operative (excluding MUTOID VERMIN ) is incapacitated, before it's removed from the killzone. Inflict 1 damage (or D3 damage instead if that friendly operative is a NIGHTMARE HULK ) on each enemy operative visible to and within 2" of that friendly operative.

Barge

Firefight Ploy

Hulk ignores control range for movement and actions

Gellerpox Infected 💀

The enormous bodies of the Nightmare Hulks allow them to barge enemies and obstructions aside to achieve their objective.

Use this firefight ploy during a friendly Gellerpox Infected 💀 NIGHTMARE HULK operative's activation or counteraction, before or after it performs an action. During that activation/ counteraction: - It can move through enemy operatives and within control range of them. - It can perform the Charge and Reposition actions while within control range of an enemy operative, and can leave that operative's control range to do so (but then normal requirements for that move apply).

Frightening Onslaught

Firefight Ploy

Hulk performs free Fight action after fighting

Gellerpox Infected 💀

Nightmare Hulks can strike without pause, with terrifying speed.

Use this firefight ploy after a friendly Gellerpox Infected 💀 NIGHTMARE HULK operative performs the Fight action, if it isn't incapacitated. It can immediately perform a free Fight action (you don't have to select the same enemy operative to fight against). This takes precedence over action restrictions.

Faction Equipment

4 items

Mutoid Vermin

Faction Equipment

Add four Mutoid Vermin operatives to your kill team.

Mutated Symptoms

Faction Equipment

Once per battle, gain one additional Techno-Curse for an operative.

Gellerpox Infected 💀

The effects of the Gellerpox are many and varied; some infected display multiple mutations, each one more grotesque than the last.

Once per battle, when you activate a friendly Gellerpox Infected 💀 operative, you can select one additional TECHNO-CURSE for that operative to gain until the end of the turning point (it must be different from your existing TECHNO-CURSE ). Note that if a rule refers to an enemy operative being affected by your selected TECHNO-CURSE rule (e.g. VULGRAR THRICE-CURSED operative's Spread the Glorious Gifts rule), it's affected by your additional TECHNO-CURSE rule too.

Polluted Stockpile

Faction Equipment

Roll 2D6: on 7+, remove opponent's equipment; otherwise, they remove their own.

Gellerpox Infected 💀

As defenders prepare to repel the infected, they find their own weapons and equipment degraded by the Gellerpox's corroding influence.

After revealing this equipment option, roll 2D6: on a 7+, remove one of your opponent's selected equipment options; otherwise, that player removes one of their own selected equipment options. They cannot select that equipment again during the game sequence (e.g. in the Scouting step of Approved Ops). You cannot select this equipment option after the Select Operatives step.

Plague Bellows

Faction Equipment

Retain one defence die result of 3 as success when shooting Nightmare Hulk from over 6".

Gellerpox Infected 💀

As fusions of machine and mortal, Nightmare Hulks bristle with rusted flumes, belching exhaust pipes and wheezing bellows, all of which eject clouds of noxious fumes.

Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly Gellerpox Infected 💀 NIGHTMARE HULK operative that's more than 6" from it, you can retain one of your defence dice results of 3 as a normal success instead of discarding it.
