Additional Rules

Command Breach

Whenever you would use the Attack Order or Defence Order strategy ploy, if this operative is in the killzone, it costs you 0CP. Once during each of this operative’s activations, before or after it performs an action, if your Attack Order or Defence Order marker is in the killzone (see relevant strategy ploy), you can either: - Remove that marker and place it again. - Change the selected ploy to the other (e.g. your Attack Order becomes a Defence Order). You cannot do both, and you don’t need to spend any CP to change the ploy.

Faction Rules

2 rules

VOID ARMOUR

Faction Rule

Reroll one or two defence dice against Blast or Torrent weapons, ignore Devastating rule.

IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHERS 💀

The armour worn by Imperial Navy Armsmen is void-sealed, meaning that they can fight in environments devoid of gravity or atmosphere. Such armour also serves to protect them from explosive blasts and flaming torrents. Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHER operative, if the ranged weapon in that sequence has the Blast or Torrent weapon rule (excluding weapons that have a sweeping profile), you can re-roll one of your defence dice, or up to two of your defence dice if that friendly operative is a GRENADIER. Friendly IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHER operatives aren’t affected by the Devastating weapon rule (i.e. Devastating with a distance) unless they are the target during that sequence.

BREACH AND CLEAR

Faction Rule

Once per turn, activate another operative after the first is expended.

IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHERS 💀

Methodical, professional and well-drilled, IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHERS 💀 work as a unit to breach and clear the corridors and chambers of enemy voidcraft, space hulks, orbital stations and more. Once per turning point, when a ready friendly IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHER operative is activated, you can use this rule. If you do, select one other ready friendly IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHER operative visible to and within 3" of that operative. When that first friendly operative is expended, you can activate that other friendly operative before your opponent activates. When that other operative is expended, your opponent then activates as normal.

Strategy Ploys

4 ploys

ATTACK ORDER

Strategy Ploy

Friendly operatives gain Ceaseless rule when near marker.

IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHERS 💀

When directed to assault a designated position, Imperial Navy Breachers achieve their goal through coordination and determination.

Place your Attack Order marker in the killzone. Whenever a friendly IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHER operative within 3" of that marker is shooting, fighting or retaliating, its weapons have the Ceaseless weapon rule. In the Ready step of the next Strategy phase, remove that marker. You cannot use this ploy and the Defence Order strategy ploy in the same Strategy phase.

DEFENCE ORDER

Strategy Ploy

Reroll one defence dice result when near marker.

IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHERS 💀

When called upon to hold a position, Imperial Navy Breachers move into tight formation, creating an impenetrable wall of shields and guns.

Place your Defence Order marker in the killzone. Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHER operative that’s within 3" of that marker, you can re-roll any of your defence dice results of one result (e.g. results of 2). In the Ready step of the next Strategy phase, remove that marker. You cannot use this ploy and the Attack Order strategy ploy in the same Strategy phase.

CLOSE ASSAULT

Strategy Ploy

Friendly operatives gain Punishing rule in close combat.

BRACE FOR COUNTERATTACK

Strategy Ploy

Reduce damage taken by friendly operatives in territory.

IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHERS 💀

Taking up a defensive stance, the Breachers prepare to repel the oncoming enemy.

Whenever an operative is shooting against, fighting against or retaliating against a friendly IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHER operative that’s within your territory or that hasn’t performed the Charge, Fall Back or Reposition action during this turning point, Normal and Critical Dmg of 3 or more inflicts 1 less damage on that friendly operative.

Firefight Ploys

4 ploys

OVERWHELM TARGET

Firefight Ploy

+1 APL for one operative

BLITZ

Firefight Ploy

First action gains Accurate or Severe

IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHERS 💀

The keys to a successful boarding action are speed and violence. Breachers advance quickly, maintaining a rapid rate of fire and cutting down any who block their progress.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHER operative performs the Shoot or Fight action, and you select an enemy operative within 6" of it as a valid target or to fight against. If it’s the first friendly operative to perform either of those actions during this turning point, its weapons have the Accurate 1 weapon rule for that action. If it’s the first friendly operative to be activated during this turning point, its weapons also have the Severe weapon rule for that action.

LOCK IT DOWN

Firefight Ploy

+1 APL for objective control

IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHERS 💀

Heavily armed and armoured, Breachers are adept at holding the positions they seize.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHER operative is activated. Select one objective marker. Until the end of the battle or until you use this ploy again (whichever comes first), when determining control of that objective marker, treat that friendly operative’s APL stat as 1 higher. Note this isn’t a change to the APL stat, so any changes are cumulative with this.

DECK HAND

Firefight Ploy

Move through terrain or operate hatch

IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHERS 💀

Spending the vast majority of their lives aboard voidships, Breachers are used to fighting their way across decks and through cramped hatchways and bulkheads.

Use this firefight ploy during a friendly IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHER operative’s activation, before or after it performs an action. That operative can move through one Accessible terrain feature without it counting as an additional 1" and/or perform a free Operate Hatch action during its activation, and can do so during the Charge or Fall Back action. You cannot use this ploy if the access point has been welded shut (see HATCHCUTTER) unless it’s a friendly HATCHCUTTER operative’s activation.

Faction Equipment

4 items

REBREATHERS

Faction Equipment

Ignore APL changes and Shock weapon effects for Breachers.

SLUGS

Faction Equipment

Improve shotgun Hit and Dmg stats up to three times per turning point.

IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHERS 💀

These heavy projectiles can be fired from a shotgun, trading close-quarters impact for increased range and lethality against a single target. Up to three times per turning point, whenever a friendly IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHER operative is performing the Shoot action and you select a Navis shotgun (long range), you can use this rule. If you do, until the end of that action, improve the Hit stat of that weapon by 1 and add 1 to both of its Dmg stats.

COMBAT STIMMS

Ammo Cache

Universal Equipment

IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHERS 💀

Whether stockpiles deliberately set out for warriors to access quickly, or the abandoned munitions of the slain, these caches can prove vital for a swift reload in the heat of battle.

Before the battle, you can set up one of your Ammo Cache markers wholly within your territory. Friendly operatives can perform the following mission action during the battle. AMMO RESUPPLY 0AP One of your Ammo Cache markers the active operative controls is used during this turning point. Until the start of the next turning point, whenever this operative is shooting with a weapon from its datacard, you can re‑roll one of your attack dice. An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, if that marker isn’t yours, or if that marker has been used this turning point.

Razor Wire

Universal Equipment

IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHERS 💀

Spooled rapidly out and affixed to jutting posts, razor wire acts as an easily deployed barrier and a painful deterrent to enemy operatives seeking to attack along particular routes.

Razor wire is Exposed and Obstructing terrain. Before the battle, you can set it up wholly within your territory, on the killzone floor and more than 2" from other equipment terrain features, access points and Accessible terrain. Obstructing: Whenever an operative would cross over this terrain feature within 1" of it, treat the distance as an additional 1".

Comms Device

Universal Equipment

IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHERS 💀

Communications devices can be swiftly hijacked and employed to coordinate operations or call in support during a firefight.

Before the battle, you can set up one of your Comms Device markers wholly within your territory. While a friendly operative controls this marker, add 3" to the distance requirements of its SUPPORT rules that refer to friendly operatives (e.g. ‘select one friendly operative within 6"’ would be 9" instead). Note that you cannot benefit from your opponent’s Comms Device markers.

Mines

Universal Equipment

IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHERS 💀

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

Before the battle, you can set up one of your Mines markers wholly within your territory and more than 2" from other markers, access points and Accessible terrain. The first time that marker is within an operative’s control range, remove that marker and inflict D3+3 damage on that operative.

Light Barricades

Universal Equipment

IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHERS 💀

Designed to be lugged into place and then deployed by operatives and combat engineers, these barriers are proof against small arms fire.

Light barricades are Light terrain, except the feet, which are Insignificant and Exposed. Before the battle, you can set up any of them wholly within your territory, on the killzone floor and more than 2" from other equipment terrain features, access points and Accessible terrain.

Heavy Barricade

Universal Equipment

Ladders

Universal Equipment

IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHERS 💀

Carried into battle in their compacted forms, these ladders provide a rapid route of ingress to strongholds, or access to vital vantage points.

Ladders are Exposed terrain. Before the battle, you can set up any of them as follows: - Wholly within your territory. - Upright against terrain that’s at least 2" tall. - More than 2" from other equipment terrain features. - More than 1" from doors and access points. In addition, an operative can either move through ladders as if they aren’t there (but cannot finish on them), or climb them. Once per action, whenever an operative is climbing this terrain feature, treat the vertical distance as 1". 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

IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHERS 💀

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.

When you select this equipment, select two utility grenades (2 smoke, 2 stun, or 1 smoke and 1 stun). Each selection is a unique action your operatives can perform, but your kill team can only perform that action a total number of times during the battle equal to your selection. STUN GRENADE 1AP Select one enemy operative visible to and within 6" of this operative. That operative and each other operative within 1" of it takes a stun test. For an operative to take a stun test, roll one D6: on a 3+, subtract 1 from its APL stat until the end of its next activation. An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or if you have reached the total number of times your kill team can perform it.

Portable Barricade

Universal Equipment

IMPERIAL NAVY BREACHERS 💀

Little more than a suppression shield with armoured feet, these barricades can be hefted and borne forwards to provide mobile cover.

A portable barricade is Light, Protective and Portable terrain. Before the battle, you can set it up wholly within your territory, on the killzone floor and more than 2" from other equipment terrain features, access points and Accessible terrain. Protective: While an operative is in cover from this terrain feature, improve its Save stat by 1 (to a maximum of 2+). Portable: This terrain feature only provides cover while an operative is connected to it and if the shield is intervening (ignore its feet). Operatives connected to the inside of it can perform the following unique action during the battle. MOVE WITH BARRICADE 1AP The same as the Reposition action, except the active operative can move no more than its Move stat minus 2" and cannot climb, drop, jump or use any kill team’s rules that remove it and set it back up again (e.g. HEARTHKYN SALVAGER FLY, MANDRAKE SHADOW PASSAGE). Before this operative moves, remove the portable barricade it’s connected to. After it moves, set up the portable barricade so it’s connected again, but the portable barricade cannot be set up within 2" of other equipment terrain features, access points or Accessible terrain. If this is not possible, the portable barricade is not set up again. This action is treated as a Reposition action. An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or during the same activation in which it performed the Fall Back or Charge action.
