MARKS OF CHAOS

Faction Rule

Operatives gain keyword-specific bonuses like Severe melee or ranged, damage reduction, or extra movement.

LEGIONARIES 💀

By making dark pacts with the Ruinous Powers, LEGIONARIES 💀 may increase their own might. Yet such bargains rarely come without a cost. Whenever you select a LEGIONARY operative for the battle, you must select one of the following keywords for it to have for that battle: KHORNE, NURGLE, SLAANESH, TZEENTCH, UNDIVIDED. Each operative’s keyword can be different, but a BALEFIRE ACOLYTE operative cannot have the KHORNE keyword. Friendly LEGIONARY operatives have an additional rule determined by this keyword. In addition, LEGIONARY ploys have additional benefits for operatives with the relevant keyword. MARK OF CHAOS OPTIONS ARE PRESENTED ON THEIR OWN CARDS. Specific marks: KHORNE - Wrathful Onslaught: This operative’s melee weapons have the Severe weapon rule. NURGLE - Disgusting Vigour: Whenever Normal Dmg of 3 or more is inflicted on this operative, roll one D6: on a 5+, subtract 1 from that inflicted damage. SLAANESH - Unnatural Agility: Add 1" to this operative’s Move stat. TZEENTCH - Empyreal Guidance: This operative’s ranged weapons have the Severe weapon rule. UNDIVIDED - Vicious Reavers: Whenever this operative is shooting against, fighting against or retaliating against an enemy operative within 6" of it, this operative’s weapons have the Ceaseless weapon rule.

ASTARTES

Faction Rule

Operatives can perform two Shoot or two Fight actions per activation and always counteract.

LEGIONARIES 💀

These genetically modified superhumans are made for one purpose: war. During each friendly LEGIONARY operative’s activation, it can perform either two Shoot actions or two Fight actions. If it’s two Shoot actions, a bolt pistol, boltgun or tainted bolt pistol must be selected for at least one of them. Each friendly LEGIONARY operative can counteract regardless of its order.

Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly LEGIONARY SLAANESH operative more than 6" from it that performed an action in which it moved during this turning point, worsen the Hit stat of the enemy operative’s weapons by 1. In all cases for this ploy, this isn’t cumulative with being injured.

FICKLE FATES

LEGIONARIES 💀

Once during each of their activations, when a friendly LEGIONARY operative that has that keyword is shooting, fighting or retaliating, if you roll two or more fails, you can inflict D3 damage on that friendly operative to discard one of them and retain the other as a normal success instead. Note that if it’s the Shoot action and that damage incapacitates that friendly operative, the action doesn’t end (continue the sequence with your successful attack dice).

Universal Equipment

LEGIONARIES 💀

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

LEGIONARIES 💀

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.

Universal Equipment

LEGIONARIES 💀

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 fnish 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

LEGIONARIES 💀

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.

Explosive Grenades

Universal Equipment

LEGIONARIES 💀

A variety of offensive grenades are employed by the forces of the 41st Millennium. These range from simple fragmentation grenades to plasma and gravitic concussion grenades, while even more exotic devices are used to crack open enemy armour.

When you select this equipment, select two explosive grenades (2 frag, 2 krak, or 1 frag and 1 krak). Each selection is a ranged weapon your operatives can use, but your kill team can only use that weapon a total number of times during the battle equal to your selection.

Portable Barricade

Universal Equipment

LEGIONARIES 💀

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 foor 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.
