What to Know

Tactical Overview

Meet the Hearthkyn Salvagers! This 10-op Kill Team is a tough, versatile force with a grudge to settle. Their unique 'Grudge' rule makes enemies pay for every fallen dwarf, turning normal hits into crits. They're slow (Move 5) but durable (Save 3+, 8-9 wounds), excelling at mid-range shooting with Accurate weapons and powerful Gunners, but can also brawl in melee with operatives like the Dôzr. Use ploys like 'Need Keeps' to dominate objectives and 'The Ancestors Are Watching' for surprise free actions. They're all about controlled aggression—hold the line, avenge your kin, and claim what's yours!

If a HEARTHKYN SALVAGER DÔZR operative performing its Knux Smash action moves an enemy operative, and during that move a marker that would 'end its action' is within that enemy operative's control range (e.g. HERNKYN YAEGIR IRONBRAEK Hy-Pex Mines) but not the DÔZR operative's control range, does the Knux Smash action end?

Then inflict D3+1 damage on it (even if you don't move it); if the D3 result is a 3, also subtract 1 from that enemy operative's APL stat until the end of its next activation. This operative can then immediately perform a free Charge action (even if it's already performed the Charge action during that activation), but cannot move more than 3" during that action.

Additional Rules

Jump Pack

Whenever this operative performs an action in which it moves, it can FLY. If it does, don't move it. Instead, remove it from the killzone and set it back up wholly within a distance equal to its Move stat (or 3" if it was a Dash) horizontally of its original location (in a killzone that uses the close quarters rules, e.g. Killzone: Gallowdark, this distance cannot be measured over or through Wall terrain, and that operative cannot be set up on the other side of an access point - in other words it cannot FLY through an open hatchway). Note that it gains no additional distance when performing the Charge action. It must be set up in a location it can be placed, and unless it's the Charge action, it cannot be set up within control range of an enemy operative.

Select one objective marker or one of your mission markers.

Whenever determining control of that marker, treat the total APL stat of friendly HEARTHKYN SALVAGER operatives that contest it as 1 higher if at least one friendly HEARTHKYN SALVAGER operative contests that marker. Note this isn't a change to the APL stat, so any changes are cumulative with this.
Whenever a friendly HEARTHKYN SALVAGER operative is within 3" of that marker, add 1 to the Atk stat of its melee weapons (to a maximum of 4); if the weapon already has an Atk stat of 4, it has the Balanced weapon rule.

Improve Hit stat for ranged attacks within 6"

Hearthkyn Salvagers 💀

Hearthkyn Salvagers are supremely effective in close-quarters environments.

Whenever a friendly HEARTHKYN SALVAGER operative is shooting an enemy operative within 6" of it, improve the Hit stat of that friendly operative's ranged weapons by 1 (to a maximum of 3+). This can allow you to apply or remove the Hit stat change during an action (this takes precedence over the core rules).

Hearthkyn Salvagers 💀

Some prizes must be wrested from the foe by force. The necessity of violent acquisition incites within the Kin a ruthless determination.

Use this firefight ploy after rolling your attack dice for a friendly HEARTHKYN SALVAGER operative, if it's shooting against or fighting against an enemy operative that controls an objective marker or one of your mission markers. You can re-roll any of your attack dice.

Pick Up Marker for 1 less AP, no control needed

Hearthkyn Salvagers 💀

Powered picks, plasma cutters and pneumatic drills are items of equipment that allow the Hearthkyn Salvagers to extract treasures buried deep.

Friendly HEARTHKYN SALVAGER operatives can perform the Pick Up Marker action for 1 less AP, and don't have to control the marker to do so (this takes precedence over that action's conditions - they only need to contest the marker).

Climb up as 2" or drop ignoring vertical distance

Hearthkyn Salvagers 💀

This climbing gear allows pioneering Hearthkyn Salvagers to traverse any difficult terrain they may encounter during the course of their duty.

During each friendly HEARTHKYN SALVAGER operative's activation, you can do one of the following: - When that operative is climbing up, you can treat the vertical distance as 2" (regardless of how far the operative actually moves vertically). - When that operative is dropping, ignore the vertical distance.
