Additional Rules

Medic!

The first time during each turning point that another friendly Phobos Strike Team operative would be incapacitated while visible to and within 3" of this operative, you can use this rule, providing neither this nor that operative is within control range of an enemy operative. If you do, that friendly operative isn't incapacitated, has D3 wounds remaining and cannot be incapacitated for the remainder of the action. After that action, that friendly operative can immediately perform a free Dash action, but must end that move within this operative's control range. Subtract 1 from this and that operative's APL stats until the end of their next activations respectively, and if this rule was used during that friendly operative's activation, that activation ends. You cannot use this rule if this operative is incapacitated, or if it's a Shoot action and this operative would be a primary or secondary target.

STRATEGIC GAMBIT if a friendly Infiltrator operative is in the killzone. Select one enemy operative visible to a friendly Infiltrator operative, or within 6" of a friendly Voxbreaker operative. In the Firefight phase of this turning point, that enemy operative cannot be activated or perform actions until one of the following is true: - Your opponent has activated a number of enemy operatives equal to the number of friendly Infiltrator operatives in the killzone when this STRATEGIC GAMBIT was used. - It's the last enemy operative to be activated.

Terror

Faction Rule

Increase AP cost for actions and reduce enemy APL near Reivers.

Phobos Strike Team 💀

Dedicated terror troops, Space Marine Reivers utilise skull masks, shock grenades and vox-enhanced roars to terrify their victims.

Whenever an enemy operative is within 3" of friendly Reiver operatives, 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 friendly Reiver operatives. Note this isn't a change to the APL stat, so any changes are cumulative with this.

Astartes

Faction Rule

Perform two SHOOT or FIGHT actions per activation, with bolt weapon requirement.

Phobos Strike Team 💀

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

During each friendly Phobos Strike Team 💀 operative's activation, it can perform either two SHOOT actions or two FIGHT actions. If it's two SHOOT actions, a bolt weapon must be selected for at least one of them. A bolt weapon is any ranged weapon that includes 'bolt' in its name, e.g. marksman bolt carbine, special issue bolt pistol, etc. Each friendly Phobos Strike Team 💀 operative can counteract regardless of its order.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly Phobos Strike Team 💀 operative that has a Conceal order is activated, is given an Engage order, performs the Charge and then the Fight action, and you're resolving your first attack dice from this activation. After doing so, you can immediately resolve another of your attack dice (before your opponent).
