Additional Rules

Rapid Insertion (STRATEGIC GAMBIT)

STRATEGIC GAMBIT in the first Strategy phase. Each friendly TEMPESTUS AQUILON TROOPER operative wholly within your drop zone can immediately perform a free Reposition action, but must end that move wholly within 3" of your drop zone.

Swift Landing

When this operative lands, you can set it up within 4" horizontally of one of your Drop markers, taking precedence over the normal distance requirement.

Faction Rules

2 rules

DROP INSERTION

Faction Rule

Set up operatives above, land near Drop markers, and gain reposition and obscurity.

TEMPESTUS AQUILONS 💀

When setting up a TEMPESTUS AQUILON kill team before the battle, the first third of your kill team must be set up as normal. Each third thereafter can be set up above: place them to one side instead of in the killzone. For each third that’s set up above, you must set up the whole third in this way (not some of them), then place one of your Drop markers wholly within your drop zone. As a STRATEGIC GAMBIT in the first and second turning point, you can move your Drop markers up to 4" horizontally. In a killzone that uses the close quarters rules (e.g. Killzone: Gallowdark), this can be measured and moved through Wall terrain. In the Firefight phase, friendly TEMPESTUS AQUILON operatives set up above are activated as normal. When you do, you can either expend or land that operative. If it lands, set it up in the killzone in a location it can be placed as follows (it’s no longer set up above): - Within 3" horizontally of one of your Drop markers, or wholly within your drop zone. - Not within control range of enemy operatives (unless you’re setting up a PRECURSOR operative, which can be set up within control range of an enemy operative). - With no part of its base underneath Vantage terrain. - With an order of your choice. The operative is treated as performing the Reposition action (spend the AP accordingly), then continue its activation as normal. It’s obscured until the end of the next activation or the end of the turning point (whichever comes first). Less than half of your operatives can be set up above by the end of the first turning point. In other words, by the end of the first turning point, more than half of your operatives must have been set up in the killzone during the battle. When readying your operatives during the second and third turning points, remove one of your Drop markers. This means operatives still set up above are incapacitated at the end of the second turning point.

GRAV‑CHUTE

Faction Rule

Strategy Ploys

4 ploys

SUDDEN OFFENSIVE

Strategy Ploy

First few operatives gain Balanced weapon rule.

TEMPESTUS AQUILONS 💀

TEMPESTUS AQUILONS 💀 are skilled at dropping swiftly into combat and catching their enemies unawares. Count the number of friendly TEMPESTUS AQUILON operatives that aren’t incapacitated, then halve the result (rounding up) to give you x. Until the end of their activation, friendly TEMPESTUS AQUILON operatives’ weapons have the Balanced weapon rule if they are the first friendly operatives activated this turning point equal to x. For example, if you have five operatives, the first three friendly operatives activated will benefit.

MAINTAIN MOMENTUM

Strategy Ploy

Weapons gain Severe rule against ready enemies.

EYE ABOVE

Strategy Ploy

Reroll one defence dice or improve blocks.

TEMPESTUS AQUILONS 💀

Airborne servo‑skulls and spotter aircraft keep the Aquilons appraised of up‑to‑the‑minute tactical data. Select one enemy operative. That operative and each other enemy operative within 3" of it gains one of your Detected tokens until the end of the turning point. Whenever an enemy operative that has one of your Detected tokens:

Is shooting a friendly TEMPESTUS AQUILON operative, you can re‑roll one of your defence dice.
Is fighting or retaliating against a friendly TEMPESTUS AQUILON operative, one of your blocks can be allocated to block two unresolved successes (instead of one).

DROP AND SECURE

Strategy Ploy

Increase APL for marker control and melee Atk.

TEMPESTUS AQUILONS 💀

Priority tactical objectives must be secured to ensure victory is absolute. Select one marker.

Until the Ready step of the next turning point, when determining control of that marker, treat the total APL stat of friendly TEMPESTUS AQUILON operatives that contest it as 1 higher if at least one friendly TEMPESTUS AQUILON operative contests that marker. Note this isn’t a change to the APL stat, so any changes are cumulative with this.
Whenever a friendly TEMPESTUS AQUILON operative is within 3" of that marker, add 1 to the Atk stat of its melee weapons (to a maximum of 4).

Firefight Ploys

4 ploys

HOT DROP

Firefight Ploy

re-roll attack dice near target

TEMPESTUS AQUILONS 💀

Aquilons are trained to drop into the thick of fighting, engaging a surprised enemy as they land.

Use this firefight ploy after rolling your attack dice for a friendly TEMPESTUS AQUILON operative that’s wholly within your opponent’s territory, or either landed or dropped from Vantage terrain at least 2" higher than the killzone floor during this activation. If the target is within 6" of it, you can re‑roll any of your attack dice.

ADJUST COORDINATES

Firefight Ploy

set up near Drop marker, no Dash/Shoot/Fight

TEMPESTUS AQUILONS 💀

As the firefight flows and develops, so those Aquilons still descending adjust their trajectories in response.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly TEMPESTUS AQUILON operative lands. You can set it up within 5" horizontally of one of your Drop markers, taking precedence over the normal distance requirement. It cannot perform the Dash, Shoot or Fight actions during this turning point.

TEMPESTUS EXEMPLARS

Firefight Ploy

perform actions for 1 less AP

TEMPESTUS AQUILONS 💀

The training and conditioning of the Tempestus Aquilons allows them to stay focused on their mission, even during the most ferocious firefights.

Use this firefight ploy during a friendly TEMPESTUS AQUILON operative’s activation (excluding SERVO‑SENTRY and any operative that has an APL stat higher than 2). During that activation it can perform the Pick Up Marker, Place Marker or a mission action for 1 less AP.

PROGENA

Firefight Ploy

regain wounds, ignore APL changes

TEMPESTUS AQUILONS 💀

As graduates of the Schola Progenium, these warriors are not only conditioned to follow their orders with unquestioning precision, but are also driven by a zealous dedication to the Imperial Cult that helps them to shrug off pain and fear.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly TEMPESTUS AQUILON operative (excluding SERVO‑SENTRY) is activated. It regains up to 2D3 lost wounds, and during that activation you can ignore any changes to its APL stat.

Faction Equipment

4 items

TEMPESTUS DAGGERS

Faction Equipment

Provides Tempestus dagger melee weapon (ATK 3, HIT 4+, DMG 3/4).

COMBAT STIMMS

Faction Equipment

Ignore Move stat changes from injury for friendly operatives.

DROP AUGURY

Faction Equipment

Once per battle, move Drop marker when operative activates above.

TEMPESTUS AQUILONS 💀

Prior to the commencement of hostilities, this region has been subjected to thorough augur scans by orbiting warships or hovering servo‑skulls, the resultant intelligence inloaded to the Tempestor’s slate monitron.

Once per battle, when a friendly TEMPESTUS AQUILON operative that’s set up above is activated, before expending or landing that operative, you can move one of your Drop markers again. However, it cannot be moved closer to your opponent’s drop zone.

REMOTE OVERSEER

Faction Equipment

Once per battle, reroll initiative dice after rolling off.

Universal Equipment

AMMO CACHE

Universal Equipment

RAZOR WIRE

Universal Equipment

TEMPESTUS AQUILONS 💀

Spooled rapidly out and afxed to jutting posts, razor wire acts as an easily deployed barrier and a painful deterrent to enemy operatives seeking to attack along particular routes.

Razor wire is Exposed and Obstructing 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. Obstructing: Whenever an operative would cross over this terrain feature within 1" of it, treat the distance as an additional 1.

COMMS DEVICE

Universal Equipment

TEMPESTUS AQUILONS 💀

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

TEMPESTUS AQUILONS 💀

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.

LIGHT BARRICADES

Universal Equipment

TEMPESTUS AQUILONS 💀

Designed to be lugged into place and then deployed by operatives and combat engineers, these barriers are proof against small arms fre.

Light barricades are Light terrain, except the feet, which are Insignifcant and Exposed. Before the battle, you can set up any of them wholly within your territory, on the killzone foor and more than 2" from other equipment terrain features, access points and Accessible terrain.

HEAVY BARRICADE

Universal Equipment

LADDERS

Universal Equipment

TEMPESTUS AQUILONS 💀

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

TEMPESTUS AQUILONS 💀

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

TEMPESTUS AQUILONS 💀

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

TEMPESTUS AQUILONS 💀

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.
