What to Know

Tactical Overview

Kasrkin: 10 elite Astra Militarum operatives with 4+ saves and 8-9 wounds. They're a versatile shooting team that can double-shoot with hot-shot weapons via Rapid Fire, buff damage with Skill At Arms (choose from 4 unique operatives like Sharpshooter or Vox-Trooper), and reposition quickly. Use ploys like Clearance Sweep for Ceaseless weapons or Relocate for free Dashes. They're not tough but fast and deadly at range, with some melee buffs via 'For Cadia!' and objective control tricks.
