Additional Rules

Path To Damnation

This operative starts the battle with 1 Damnation point. Once per action, you can attempt to use one Boon of Damnation when it specifies. If you do, roll one D6 and compare the result to the number of Damnation points this operative has; if the result is: Higher: Resolve the rule, then this operative gains 1 Damnation point. Equal: Do not resolve the rule. Less: Inflict damage on this operative equal to its number of Damnation points and do not resolve the rule. If this operative has 6 Damnation points, resolve the rule without rolling. Note that you cannot make an attempt more than once per action, regardless of the D6 result.

Boons of Damnation

Boons of Damnation are as follows (resolved with a D6 roll): When an attack dice inflicts damage of 3 or more on this operative, you can ignore an amount of damage equal to this operative's Damnation points. When this operative is fighting or retaliating and you strike with an attack dice, you can inflict an amount of additional damage equal to this operative's Damnation points.

Additional Rules

Frenzied Attack

If this operative is incapacitated during the Fight action, you can strike the enemy operative in that sequence with one of your unresolved successes before this operative is removed from the killzone.

Unique Actions

Snatch 1AP

BOOST action. Select one enemy operative within this operative's BOOST ZONE. Both players roll one D6 and add their respective operative's Wounds stat to their result. If your result is higher, remove that enemy operative from the killzone and set it back up within this operative's BOOST ZONE or control range. It must be set up in a location it can be placed and cannot be set up further away from this operative than where it began. If that enemy operative is set up within this operative's control range, the Fall Back or Reposition action ends (allowing this operative to end that action within control range of enemy operatives).

This operative cannot perform this action normally. Instead, it performs this action during the Fall Back or Reposition action after setting up from a BOOST.

Additional Rules

Horrifying Dismemberment

Whenever this operative incapacitates an enemy operative while fighting or retaliating, select one other enemy operative visible to and within 3" of either this operative or the incapacitated enemy operative. Subtract 1 from that enemy operative's APL stat until the end of its next activation.

Unique Actions

Carving Blow 1AP

Inflict 2D3 damage on each other operative visible to and within 2" of this operative in an order of your choice (roll separately for each).

This operative cannot perform this action while it has a Conceal order, or during the same activation in which it performed the Slice from Above action (see Bladefins faction equipment), the Clawed Charge action (see Clawed Armour faction equipment) or two Fight actions (and vice versa).

Faction Rules

Jump Pack

Faction Rule

Operatives can boost to move over terrain and operatives, but not above vantage terrain.

Murderwing 💀

The Murderwing kill team have some of the best mobility in the game thanks to their Jump Pack faction rule.

Murderwing 💀 operatives can BOOST. BOOST is similar to FLYING except they cannot have Vantage terrain above them. When a Murderwing 💀 operative BOOSTS, it can move over terrain and other operatives effortlessly. If a Murderwing 💀 operative would BOOST during the CHARGE action, do not add the additional 2" to its move allowance.

Murderwing 💀

*Warp-corrupted jump packs lend their wearers terrifying speed.*

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly Murderwing 💀 operative is performing the FALL BACK or REPOSITION action, when it does a BOOST. That operative can be set up an additional 3" away during that BOOST (adding this to the permitted move distance), but it cannot perform the SHOOT, FIGHT or CARVING BLOW (see Depredator operative) action until the next turning point. You cannot use this ploy during the first turning point.

Free Reposition or Charge after enemy Fall Back

Murderwing 💀

Immersion within the warp has mutated this warrior’s body, transforming their blood into high-octane fuel that burns through veins and arteries, powering muscles and jet engines alike.

Once per turning point, when an enemy operative ends the Fall Back action during its activation, if at least one friendly Murderwing 💀 operative was within its control range at the start of that action, you can use this rule. One of those friendly operatives can immediately perform a free Reposition or Charge action, but cannot use more than 3" of move distance. Note that if the enemy operative doesn’t perform the Fall Back action during its own activation, this has no effect.
