DOCTRINA IMPERATIVES

Faction Rule

Select a primary mode and strategic gambit for bonuses and penalties each turn.

HUNTER CLADE 💀

Tech-Priests dictate protocols for the Hunter Clade to follow as they move through their mission, straining the programming of the Skitarii and Sicarians in order to optimise their current status, to the detriment of all else.

At the end of the Select Operatives step, select one DOCTRINA IMPERATIVE to be a Primary Mode for your kill team until the end of the battle (note that selecting a Primary Mode doesn’t automatically give you the effects of that DOCTRINA IMPERATIVE for the battle; you must still select it as a STRATEGIC GAMBIT, as below). STRATEGIC GAMBIT. Select one DOCTRINA IMPERATIVE for friendly HUNTER CLADE 💀 operatives to have until the Ready step of the next Strategy phase. Each DOCTRINA IMPERATIVE has both an Optimisation and a Deprecation rule. Both are in effect while your kill team has that DOCTRINA IMPERATIVE. Once per battle, when you select the DOCTRINA IMPERATIVE that’s your kill team’s Primary Mode, you can ignore its Deprecation rule.

DEBILITATING IRRADIATION

Strategy Ploy

Reduce enemy weapon damage by 1

HUNTER CLADE 💀

The Skitarii Vanguard push forward, shrouded in clouds of radiation. Those caught in this lethal miasma fnd their combat abilities greatly degraded.

Whenever an enemy operative is shooting against, fghting against or retaliating against a friendly HUNTER CLADE 💀 VANGUARD operative, if that enemy operative is under the efects of the Rad-Saturation rule (see VANGUARD operatives), subtract 1 from the Normal Dmg stat of its weapons (to a minimum of 3).

NEUROSTATIC INTERFERENCE

Strategy Ploy

Enemy cannot reroll attack dice

SCOUTING PROTOCOL

Strategy Ploy

Concealed operatives perform free Dash

HUNTER CLADE 💀

Operating as advanced scouts, Skitarii Rangers avoid close combat, darting from cover to cover to evade the attention of their enemies.

Each friendly HUNTER CLADE 💀 RANGER operative that has a Conceal order and is more than 6" from enemy operatives can immediately perform a free Dash action in an order of your choice. You cannot use this ploy during the first turning point.

CONTROL EDICT

Firefight Ploy

Activate two operatives in sequence

HUNTER CLADE 💀

The leader of a Hunter Clade assumes partial control of another member of their kill team, coordinating precision strikes with the nearby operative.

Use this firefight ploy when it’s your turn to activate a friendly operative. Select one friendly HUNTER CLADE 💀 LEADER operative and one other ready friendly HUNTER CLADE 💀 operative visible to and within 3" of that LEADER operative; activate one of them as normal. When that first friendly operative you activate is expended, you can activate the other friendly operative before your opponent activates. When that other operative is expended, your opponent then activates as normal. Whenever you use this ploy, you cannot select more than one HUNTER CLADE 💀 SICARIAN operative.

SCRAPCODE OVERLOAD

Firefight Ploy

Reduce enemy APL for marker control

HUNTER CLADE 💀

The Hunter Clade’s Infiltrator releases an enormous bombardment of static and scrapcode that disrupts communication channels, reduces enemy coordination and allows the kill team to seize objectives and materiel from under their foe's nose.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly HUNTER CLADE 💀 INFILTRATOR operative is activated. Alternatively, use this firefight ploy when a friendly HUNTER CLADE 💀 INFILTRATOR operative, or an enemy operative within 3" of that friendly operative, would perform the Pick Up Marker or a mission action (excluding Operate Hatch). Until the start of that friendly operative’s next activation, whenever determining control of a marker, treat the total APL stat of enemy operatives that contest it as 1 lower if at least one of those enemy operatives is within 3" of that friendly operative. Note this isn’t a change to the APL stat, so any changes are cumulative with this, and this can change control of a marker before performing the action.

COMMAND OVERRIDE

Firefight Ploy

Change DOCTRINA IMPERATIVE for one operative

OMNISSIAH’S IMPERATIVE

Firefight Ploy

Gain bonus based on DOCTRINA IMPERATIVE

HUNTER CLADE 💀

The most extreme form of doctrina imperative, this protocol pushes an operative’s wiring beyond safe limits, providing additional combat power at the cost of burned circuitry and charred flesh.

Use this firefight ploy during a friendly HUNTER CLADE 💀 operative’s activation. Alternatively, use it when an enemy operative is shooting a friendly HUNTER CLADE 💀 operative, at the end of the Roll Attack Dice step. Until the Ready step of the next Strategy phase, that friendly operative has an additional rule determined by its current DOCTRINA IMPERATIVE as follows: - Protector: This operative’s ranged weapons have the Severe weapon rule. - Conqueror: Whenever this operative is fighting, after resolving your first attack dice during that sequence, you can immediately resolve another (before your opponent). - Bulwark: Improve this operative’s Save stat by 1. In addition, whenever an operative is shooting this operative, you can collect and roll an additional defence dice. If you use this ploy during a Shoot action, this operative’s Save stat is changed immediately (this takes precedence over the core rules). - Aggressor: You can ignore the first vertical distance of 2" this operative moves during one climb up. - Neutral: None. Note that you can use this ploy after rolling attack or defence dice for this operative, or before or after retaining or re-rolling those dice.

RAD BOMBARDMENT

Faction Equipment

Once per battle, roll D6 for enemies near objective or drop zone: on 4+ reduce APL, on 6 inflict D3 damage.

Roll one D6 separately for each enemy operative within control range of that selected objective marker or within that drop zone, and subtract 1 if any part of that enemy operative's base is underneath Vantage terrain: on a 4+, subtract 1 from that operative's APL stat until the end of its next activation; on a 6, also inflict D3 damage on it (roll separately for each).

REDUNDANCY SYSTEMS

Faction Equipment

Once per turning point, friendly Hunter Clade operative regains up to D3+2 wounds if not near enemies.

HUNTER CLADE 💀

Expected to operate behind enemy lines for extended periods, Hunter Clade operatives are often upgraded with redundancy augmetics such as backup lungs and emergency blood packs, ensuring that they remain capable of functioning even after suffering terrible damage.

Once per turning point, when a friendly HUNTER CLADE 💀 operative is activated, if it’s not within control range of enemy operatives, you can use this rule. If you do, that friendly operative regains up to D3+2 lost wounds.

REFRACTOR FIELD

Faction Equipment

Once per turning point, worsen enemy weapon Piercing by 1 when shooting friendly Hunter Clade operative.

HUNTER CLADE 💀

A miniaturised shield generator given to key warriors of the Adeptus Mechanicus, this device projects a barrier of energy that deflects shots and preserves the machine form of the bearer.

Once per turning point, when an operative is shooting a friendly HUNTER CLADE 💀 operative, at the start of the Roll Defence Dice step, you can use this rule. If you do, worsen the x of the Piercing weapon rule by 1 (if any) until the end of that sequence. Note that Piercing 1 would therefore be ignored.

EXTREMIS MIND-LINK

Faction Equipment

Once per battle, use Control Edict ploy for 0CP to activate multiple operatives simultaneously.

HUNTER CLADE 💀

This technology allows Hunter Clade leaders to retain close control over their Skitarii and Sicarian soldiers. In turn, the soldiery see the mind-link as a blessed thing, for the edicts transmitted to them are surely the will of the Omnissiah.

Once per battle, you can use the Control Edict firefight ploy for 0CP, but instead of activating the selected friendly operatives in succession, activate them at the same time. Complete their activations action by action in any order.

Note that you cannot benefit from your opponent’s Comms Device markers.

MINES

Universal Equipment

HUNTER CLADE 💀

The battlefelds of the 41st Millennium are plagued by myriad types of mine, from simple frag charges to monoflament web‑snares and microplasma charges. Ultimately, all serve a similar, horrible purpose.

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

HUNTER CLADE 💀

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.
