BOONS OF TZEENTCH

Faction Rule

Sorcerer operatives gain a unique boon each battle, enhancing abilities like movement, damage, or actions.

Warpcoven 💀

Warpcoven Sorcerers are dedicated followers of Tzeentch, and have earned many great boons from their patron deity, from beneficial mutations to diabolical knowledge.

Whenever you select a SORCERER operative for the battle, you must select a BOON OF TZEENTCH (below) for it to have for the battle. You cannot select each BOON OF TZEENTCH more than once per battle. Incorporeal Sight: The empyric energies given off by living creatures can be sensed by the Sorcerers of the Thousand Sons. This operative’s ranged weapons have the Saturate weapon rule. Whenever this operative is shooting, enemy operatives cannot be obscured. Time-Walk: There are few greater boons than mastery over time itself. Add 1" to this operative’s Move stat. Echoes from the Warp: An ability to predict the future allows for stronger responses to enemy movement. Once per battle, when you counteract with this operative, you can change its order, and it can perform an additional 1AP action for free during that counteraction, but both actions must be different. Warp Swell: An influx of warp power grants impetus to melee strikes. Add 1 to the Normal Dmg stat of this operative’s melee weapons. Mutant Appendage: Horrific though they may appear, additional limbs are useful indeed. Having an enemy operative within this operative’s control range doesn’t prevent it from performing the Pick Up Marker or mission actions. Once per activation, this operative can perform the Pick Up Marker, Place Marker or a mission action for 1 less AP. Immaterial Flight: The power of flight renders the recipient highly elusive. Once per turning point, when this operative is performing the Charge or Reposition action during its activation, it can FLY. If it does, don’t move it. Instead, remove it from the killzone and set it back up wholly within a distance equal to its Move stat horizontally of its original location. In a killzone that uses the close quarters rules (e.g. Killzone: Gallowdark), this distance 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 FLY through an open hatchway). Note that it gains no additional distance when performing the Charge action. It must be set up in a location it can be placed, and unless it’s the Charge action, it cannot be set up within control range of an enemy operative. Twist of Fate: What greater boon than the ability to bend fate to one’s own will. This operative’s PSYCHIC ranged weapons have the Piercing Crits 1 weapon rule. Astral Bombardment: The truly blessed drink deeply of the Warp’s entropic power, wielding its destructive energies with abandon. Select one of this operative's PSYCHIC ranged weapons. That weapon has the Devastating 1 weapon rule. If you select a doombolt, it has the 2" Devastating 2 weapon rule instead of Devastating 2. If you select firestorm or mindburn (SORCERER OF WARPFIRE), whenever that operative performs the Shoot action, select the Seek Light or Devastating 1 weapon rule for that weapon to have until the end of the action (it cannot have both). Master of the Immaterium: The gift of forbidden arcane knowledge grants the recipient terrible psychic power. Add 3" to the distance requirements of this operative’s PSYCHIC actions that have a distance requirement. Note that for the SORCERER OF TEMPYRION’s Temporal Flux action, this boon only affects the distance in the first effect of that rule.

ASTARTES

Faction Rule

Heretic Astartes operatives can perform two Shoot or Fight actions per activation and always counteract.

Warpcoven 💀

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

During each friendly Warpcoven 💀 HERETIC ASTARTES operative’s activation, it can perform either two Shoot actions or two Fight actions. If it’s two Shoot actions and a soulreaper cannon or a warpflamer is selected for both, 1 additional AP must be spent for the second action. You cannot select the same PSYCHIC ranged weapon more than once per activation. Each friendly Warpcoven 💀 HERETIC ASTARTES operative can counteract regardless of its order.

AETHERIAL WARDING

Strategy Ploy

Piercing 1 becomes Piercing Crits 1 for enemy attacks.

FATE ITSELF IS MY WEAPON

Strategy Ploy

Reserve two D6 to replace attack dice in Firefight phase.

Warpcoven 💀

By manipulating the skeins of fate, a Sorcerer may stay the blade of a foe, or ensure their own warriors land a killing strike.

Roll two D6 and reserve them (put them to one side). In the following Firefight phase, whenever an operative is shooting, fighting or retaliating, after you or your opponent roll their attack dice, but before re-rolls, you can use one of your reserved dice to replace one of the D6 rolled for that sequence (yours or your opponent's); that replacement dice cannot be re-rolled or retained as a success or critical success if it’s not, and is discarded at the end of that sequence. Then, if the combined result of both reserved dice was less than 9, discard the other dice. You cannot use more than one reserved dice per sequence. Discard any remaining reserved dice at the end of the turning point.

BROTHERHOOD OF SORCERERS

Strategy Ploy

Sorcerers' Psychic weapons gain Balanced within 9" of another.

SAVAGE HERD

Strategy Ploy

Tzaangor melee weapons gain Accurate 1 and sometimes Severe.

Warpcoven 💀

Though bestial of form, the Tzaangor possess great cunning to match their savagery, particularly when fighting in the presence of a powerful Sorcerer.

Friendly Warpcoven 💀 TZAANGOR operatives’ melee weapons have the Accurate 1 weapon rule. Whenever a friendly Warpcoven 💀 TZAANGOR operative is assisted by a friendly Warpcoven 💀 operative, or is fighting while visible to and within 6" of a friendly Warpcoven 💀 SORCERER operative, that friendly Warpcoven 💀 TZAANGOR operative's melee weapons also have the Severe weapon rule.

CAPRICIOUS PLAN

Firefight Ploy

Free Dash or change order

Warpcoven 💀

Sorcerers dart from skirmish to firefight in the furtherance of their unknowable schemes, their goals and ambitions indecipherable to even the most insightful of foes.

Use this firefight ploy at the end of a friendly Warpcoven 💀 SORCERER operative’s activation. That friendly operative can immediately perform a free Dash action (even if it’s performed an action that prevents it from performing the Dash action), or you can change its order instead.

PSYCHIC CABAL

Firefight Ploy

Share psychic action or weapon

Warpcoven 💀

Pooling their power, a coven of Sorcerers may share their learnings, rendering their psychic powers even more deadly.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly Warpcoven 💀 SORCERER operative is activated.

Warpcoven 💀

Rare and dangerous scrolls from the vaults of Prospero allow the Sorcerers to beseech Tzeentch for even greater power.

Once per battle, when a friendly Warpcoven 💀 SORCERER operative is activated or counteracts, you can select a different BOON OF TZEENTCH for it to have until the end of the battle (it loses any it previously had). It cannot be the same BOON OF TZEENTCH any other friendly operative has. Note that if you use this rule when a friendly operative counteracts and you select Echoes from the Warp, it can be used immediately to change the operative’s order and perform a free action during that counteraction.

In addition, an operative can either move through ladders as if they aren’t there (but cannot finish on them), or climb them.

PORTABLE BARRICADE

Universal Equipment

Warpcoven 💀

A portable barricade is Light, Protective and Portable terrain. Before the battle, you can set it up wholly within your territory, on the killzone floor 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. MOVE WITH BARRICADE 1AP: The same as the Reposition action, except the active operative can move no more than its Move stat minus 2" and cannot climb, drop, jump or use any kill team’s rules that remove it and set it back up again. Before this operative moves, remove the portable barricade it’s connected to. After it moves, set up the portable barricade so it’s connected again, but the portable barricade cannot be set up within 2" of other equipment terrain features, access points or Accessible terrain. If this is not possible, the portable barricade is not set up again. This action is treated as a Reposition action. An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or during the same activation in which it performed the Fall Back or Charge action.
