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 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, you can inflict an amount of additional damage equal to this operative's Damnation points.

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).

Additional Rules

Modified Vox-casters

Whenever an enemy operative is within 3" of this operative, your opponent must spend 1 additional AP for that enemy operative to perform the Pick Up Marker and mission actions. 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 this operative. Note this isn't a change to the APL stat, so any changes are cumulative with this.

Unique Actions

Shriek 1AP

Select one enemy operative that's visible to and within 6" of this operative. Alternatively, select one enemy operative within this operative's BOOST ZONE (at which point this becomes a BOOST action). If enemy operatives are within control range of this operative, you cannot select an enemy operative that isn't.

Additional Rules

Slice the Veil

When setting up this operative before the battle, you can set it up in the warp instead: place it to one side instead of in the killzone. In the first Firefight phase, when this operative is activated, place one of your Warp markers wholly within your territory, then expend this operative. In the second Firefight phase, when this operative is activated, set it up with an order of your choice in a location it can be placed either wholly within your drop zone, or wholly within your territory contesting your Warp marker. Continue its activation as normal, but during that activation it cannot perform more than two actions and cannot use more than 4" of move distance. Until the Ready step of the next Strategy phase, this operative is obscured to operatives more than 3" from it. Whenever this operative is in the warp, it cannot be the ready friendly Murderwing operative for the Malicious Narcissism firefight ploy.

Faction Rules

3 rules

Jump Pack

Faction Rule

Operatives can boost during movement actions, teleporting short distances instead of moving normally.

Murderwing 💀

Armour-mounted propulsion systems enable these warriors to traverse the battlefield in bounding, jetassisted leaps.

Whenever a friendly Murderwing 💀 operative is performing the Charge, Fall Back or Reposition action during its activation, at the start of any straight-line increment, as long as no part of its base is underneath Vantage terrain, it can do a BOOST for that increment. If it does, don't move it for that increment. Instead, remove it from the killzone and set it back up wholly within x" horizontally of its original location. X is a distance of your choice (rounded up to the nearest inch, as per the Reposition action), but it's added to the total move distance used for that action (in other words, move plus BOOST cannot exceed the action's move allowance). That operative must be set up in a location it can be placed and cannot be set up with any part of its base underneath Vantage terrain. In addition, unless it's the Charge action, it cannot be set up within control range of an enemy operative. It can continue moving after a BOOST if it has any move distance remaining and the action allows it. In a killzone that uses the close quarters rules, e.g. Killzone: Tomb World, the x" cannot be measured over or through Wall terrain, and that operative cannot be set up on the other side of an access point - in other words, it cannot BOOST through an open hatchway.

Boost Actions

Faction Rule

Boost actions affect enemies in the zone between the operative's original and boosted positions.

Murderwing 💀

Murderwings are experts in aerial combat, lashing out at flailing prey as they soar overhead on columns of flame.

Some actions are known as BOOST actions. These are actions performed during other actions when a BOOST is used. Each operative cannot perform more than one BOOST action per activation/ counteraction. Most BOOST actions affect enemy operatives within a friendly Murderwing 💀 operative's BOOST ZONE. This is the horizontal area between a friendly Murderwing 💀 operative's current location and the location from which it used BOOST. A marker the same size as the operative's base can be temporarily placed to help determine this. Enemy operatives with any part of their base underneath Vantage terrain are not within friendly Murderwing 💀 operatives' BOOST ZONES.

Astartes

Faction Rule

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

Strategy Ploys

4 ploys

Cull the Weak

Strategy Ploy

gain Punishing vs lower, APL-reduced, or wounded operatives

Murderwing 💀

Opportunistic predators all, the warriors of a Murderwing seek to single out and pick off the most vulnerable prey.

Whenever a friendly Murderwing 💀 operative is shooting or fighting, its weapons have the Punishing weapon rule if any of the following are true for the operative that friendly operative is shooting or fighting against:

It's at least 2" lower than that friendly operative.
Its APL stat is less than normal.
It was wounded at the start of the activation/counteraction.

Predators Above

Strategy Ploy

gain Balanced when higher or after Boost

Murderwing 💀

Murderwings excel when striking from above, using their mobility and jet-assisted might to massacre their enemies.

Whenever a friendly Murderwing 💀 operative is at least 2" higher than the killzone floor, its weapons have the Balanced weapon rule. Whenever a friendly Murderwing 💀 operative does a BOOST , its weapons have the Balanced weapon rule until the end of that activation.

Nightmare on High

Strategy Ploy

reroll one defence dice when higher or after Boost

Instil Fear

Strategy Ploy

reduce Normal Dmg 3+ by 1 in fight

Firefight Ploys

4 ploys

Murderous Descent

Firefight Ploy

interrupt enemy move for free Charge

Murderwing 💀

Descending from lofty perches, Murderwings ambush unwary prey.

Use this firefight ploy when an enemy operative ends the Charge , Dash , Fall Back or Reposition action within 3" horizontally and more than 2" lower than a friendly Murderwing 💀 operative (or in close quarters, within 2" and that enemy operative must be in a different room to where it started that action). Interrupt that enemy operative's activation/counteraction and immediately perform a free Charge action with that friendly operative. It must end that action within control range of that enemy operative. If this isn't possible, the interruption is cancelled and this rule hasn't been used.

Malicious Narcissism

Firefight Ploy

skip activations while enemy in killzone

Murderwing 💀

The Murderwing wait until fear is at its zenith before striking.

Use this firefight ploy when it's your turn to activate with a friendly operative, if only one friendly Murderwing 💀 operative is ready. Until the end of the turning point, whenever any ready enemy operatives are in the killzone, you can skip your activations (in other words, you can delay that friendly Murderwing 💀 operative's activation). Note that you cannot counteract until that friendly Murderwing 💀 operative is expended.

Long Forgotten Honour

Firefight Ploy

critical success ends fight for free Fall Back

Murderwing 💀

Debased traitors all, Murderwings retain no codes of martial honour.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly Murderwing 💀 operative is fighting or retaliating, when you resolve a critical success. Instead of striking or blocking, end that sequence (any remaining attack dice are discarded) and immediately perform a free Fall Back action up to 3" with that operative (then the Fight action ends). That operative can do so even if it's performed an action that prevents it from performing the Fall Back action.

Wings of Darkness

Firefight Ploy

extra 3" on Fall Back/Reposition Boost

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.

Once per turn, 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.
