What to Know

Tactical Overview

Introducing the Nemesis Claw! This elite 6-operative Heretic Astartes kill team is a flexible, durable force that excels at both shooting and melee. With the 'Astartes' rule, each operative can perform two Shoot or two Fight actions per activation, making them adaptable to any situation. They're tough with 3+ saves and 14-15 wounds, and their 'In Midnight Clad' rule grants extra obscurity for survivability. Unique operatives like the Visionary psyker and Fearmonger with terrorchem add strategic depth. Ploys like 'The Black Hunt' and 'We Have Come for You' enhance their lethality, especially against wounded foes. Whether you're blasting with boltguns or charging with chainswords, Nemesis Claw brings relentless pressure to the battlefield!

Faction Rules

2 rules

Astartes

Faction Rule

Nemesis Claw operatives can perform two Shoot or two Fight actions per activation, with bolt weapon restrictions.

Nemesis Claw 💀

These genetically modified superhumans are made for one purpose: war.

During each friendly Nemesis Claw 💀 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 scoped bolt pistol must be selected for at least one of them.

Each friendly Nemesis Claw 💀 operative can counteract regardless of its order.

SCREECHER
SKINTHIEF
VENTRILOKAR
WARRIOR with one of the following options:
- Bolt pistol; chainsword
- Boltgun; fists

Other than WARRIOR operatives, your kill team can only include each operative on this list once.

In Midnight Clad

Faction Rule

Nemesis Claw operatives are obscured when over 8" away and near Heavy or Vantage terrain.

Nemesis Claw 💀

Night Lords are one with the darkness, employing it as an ally and a weapon.

Whenever an enemy operative is shooting a friendly Nemesis Claw 💀 operative, that friendly operative is obscured if both of the following are true:

It's more than 8" from enemy operatives it's visible to.
It has Heavy terrain within its control range, or any part of its base is underneath Vantage terrain.

Strategy Ploys

4 ploys

The Black Hunt

Strategy Ploy

reroll one attack die against wounded enemy

We Have Come for You

Strategy Ploy

inflict D3 damage after charging

Nemesis Claw 💀

The Night Lords strike their foes swiftly, utilising shock, awe and terror to brutalise the enemy before they can lift a blade in response.

Whenever a friendly Nemesis Claw 💀 operative is activated, if the first action it performs during that activation is the Charge action, when it ends its move during that action, you can inflict D3 damage on one enemy operative within its control range.

Preysight

Strategy Ploy

ignore Light terrain cover within 6 inches

Nemesis Claw 💀

The Night Lords seem able to sense the fear of cowering prey, hunting down the craven with unerring precision.

Whenever you're selecting a valid target for a friendly Nemesis Claw 💀 operative, enemy operatives within 6" of it cannot use Light terrain for cover. While this can allow such operatives to be targeted (assuming they're visible), it doesn't remove their cover save (if any).

Return to Darkness

Strategy Ploy

free Fall Back or Reposition to cover

Nemesis Claw 💀

The Night Lords move from shadow to shadow with an agility and speed belied by their transhuman bulk.

One friendly Nemesis Claw 💀 operative can immediately perform a free Fall Back or Reposition action, but it must end that move with Heavy terrain within its control range, or any part of its base underneath Vantage terrain. In addition, it cannot move more than 4" during that action and it cannot end that move closer to enemy operatives (in a killzone that uses the close quarters rules, e.g. Killzone: Gallowdark, ignore Wall terrain when determining this).

Firefight Ploys

4 ploys

Death To The False Emperor

Firefight Ploy

Weapons gain Ceaseless or Relentless vs Imperium targets.

Nemesis Claw 💀

The Night Lords, like all Heretic Astartes, bear a particular hatred for the corpse-worshipping soldiers of the Imperium.

Use this firefight ploy after rolling your attack dice for a friendly Nemesis Claw 💀 operative, if it's shooting against, fighting against or retaliating against an enemy operative that has the IMPERIUM keyword. That friendly operative's weapons have the Ceaseless weapon rule until the end of that sequence; if that enemy operative also has the ADEPTUS ASTARTES keyword, that friendly operative's weapons have the Relentless weapon rule until the end of that sequence instead.

Vox Scream

Firefight Ploy

Roll D6 to potentially block enemy activation.

Nemesis Claw 💀

By modulating the frequency of their helm-mounted vox-units, Night Lord operatives can unleash a terrifying scream with the ability to stun an opponent.

Use this firefight ploy when your opponent would activate an enemy operative that's visible to a friendly Nemesis Claw 💀 operative. Roll one D6; if the result is higher than that enemy operative's APL stat, your opponent cannot activate it during this activation; if the result is less than or equal to that enemy operative's APL stat, this ploy isn't used, the CP spent on it is refunded and you cannot use this ploy again during this turning point. If there are no other enemy operatives eligible to be activated, this ploy has no effect.

Proclivity For Murder

Firefight Ploy

Free Charge or Dash after incapacitating an enemy.

Nemesis Claw 💀

Each brutal kill a Night Lord performs serves to feed their bloodlust and drives them to further acts of terrible violence.

Use this firefight ploy after a friendly Nemesis Claw 💀 operative incapacitates an enemy operative within its control range. That friendly operative can immediately perform a free Charge or Dash action (for the former, it cannot move more than 3"), even if it's performed an action that prevents it from performing those actions.

Dirty Fighter

Firefight Ploy

Resolve one success early during retaliation.

Nemesis Claw 💀

The Night Lords have no respect for the concept of honour and will use whatever underhanded tactics they deem necessary.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly Nemesis Claw 💀 operative is retaliating, at the start of the Resolve Attack Dice step. You can resolve one of your successes before the normal order. If you do, you cannot resolve any other successes during that sequence.

Faction Equipment

4 items

Chain Snare

Faction Equipment

Prevents enemy Fall Back actions on certain dice rolls

Nemesis Claw 💀

Composed of hooked blades attached to a length of chain, this weapon bites into the flesh or armour of the wielder's target, preventing them from fleeing.

Whenever an enemy operative would perform the Fall Back action while within control range of a friendly Nemesis Claw 💀 operative, if no other enemy operatives are within that friendly operative's control range, you can use this rule. If you do, roll two D6, or one D6 if that enemy operative has a higher Wounds stat than that friendly operative. If any result is a 4+, that enemy operative cannot perform that action during that activation/counteraction (no AP are spent on it), and you cannot use this rule again during this turning point.

Flayed Skin

Faction Equipment

Enemy cannot reroll attack dice results of 1 within 2"

Grisly Trophy

Faction Equipment

Once per battle, reduces enemy Atk stat by 1 when visible within 2"

Nemesis Claw 💀

Severed hands and limbs, eyeballs plucked from the skulls of screaming victims - these macabre trophies and more cause the Night Lords' foes to waver.

Once per battle, when a friendly Nemesis Claw 💀 operative incapacitates an enemy operative within 2" of it, you can use this rule. If you do, that friendly operative gains one of your Grisly Trophy tokens (if it doesn't already have one). Whenever a friendly Nemesis Claw 💀 operative that has one of your Grisly Trophy tokens is visible to and within 2" of an enemy operative, subtract 1 from the Atk stat of that enemy operative's weapons.
