Ability
Below, you will find a common ability of the EXACTION SQUAD kill team.
Ruthless Efficiency
Arbitrators have long experience in claustrophobic confrontations and synchronise their tactics to eliminate foes. With chilling precision, they open fire on the guilty even in the press of combat.
Each time a friendly operative with this ability makes a shooting attack with a weapon that doesn’t have the Blast special rule or the word ‘grenade’ in its name, in the Select Valid Target step of that shooting attack, enemy operatives within of it can have other friendly operatives within Engagement Range and still be selected as a valid target (they must still be a valid target by all other means).Each time a friendly operative with this ability makes a shooting attack with a weapon that doesn’t have the Blast special rule or the word ‘grenade’ in its name, if the target is within of another friendly EXACTION SQUAD operative, that ranged weapon has the P1 critical hit rule for that shooting attack.
Strategic Ploys
If your faction is EXACTION SQUAD, you can use the following Strategic Ploys during a game.
GUILT REVEALS ITSELF1CP
Strategic Ploy
Until the end of the Turning Point, each time a friendly EXACTION SQUAD operative makes a shooting attack, enemy operatives must be more than 2 (instead of ) from it to be in Cover.
INVIOLATE JURISDICTION1CP
Strategic Ploy
Until the end of the Turning Point, each time a shooting attack is made against a friendly EXACTION SQUAD operative that’s within of an objective marker or enemy operative, in the Roll Defence Dice step of that shooting attack, you can re-roll one of your defence dice.
DISPENSE JUSTICE1CP
Strategic Ploy
Until the end of the Turning Point, each time a friendly EXACTION SQUAD operative fights in combat in an activation (including an enemy activation) in which it has not moved more than its Movement characteristic, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that combat, you can re-roll any or all of your attack dice results (e.g. results of 2).
TERMINAL DECREE1CP
Strategic Ploy
Until the end of the Turning Point, each time a friendly EXACTION SQUAD operative makes a shooting attack against an enemy operative within 2 of it, or each time a friendly EXACTION SQUAD GUNNER operative makes a shooting attack (regardless of distance), in the Roll Attack Dice step of that shooting attack, you can re-roll one of your attack dice.
Tactical Ploys
If your faction is EXACTION SQUAD, you can use the following Tactical Ploys during a game.
LONG ARM OF THE EMPEROR'S LAW1CP
Tactical Ploy
Use this Tactical Ploy in the Scouting step, when your opponent reveals their selection. They cannot resolve that selection. Initiative is still determined as normal, and this Tactical Ploy has no effect on additional or different scouting options your opponent could perform (e.g. Pursuers, HUNTER CLADE).
EXACT PUNISHMENT1CP
Tactical Ploy
Use this Tactical Ploy after an enemy operative fights in combat or makes a shooting attack against a friendly EXACTION SQUAD operative within of it, and that friendly operative is not incapacitated as a result. That friendly operative can immediately perform a free Fight or Overwatch action, but can only target that enemy operative, and only if it’s a valid target.
BRUTAL BACKUP1CP
Tactical Ploy
Use this Tactical Ploy after a friendly EXACTION SQUAD operative performs a Fight action with combat support. One of the friendly EXACTION SQUAD operatives that provided combat support can immediately perform a free Fight action, but can only target the enemy operative from that previous Fight action, and only if it’s a valid target.
EXECUTION ORDER0+CP
Tactical Ploy
Use this Tactical Ploy when a friendly PROCTOR-EXACTANT operative is activated. Select one enemy operative in the killzone (Line of Sight is not required). Until the end of the battle, each time a friendly EXACTION SQUAD operative fights in combat or makes a shooting attack against that enemy operative, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that combat or shooting attack, you can re-roll any or all of your attack dice. 0CP the first time you use it during the battle, 1CP thereafter (you can use it more than once).
Tac Ops
If your faction is EXACTION SQUAD, you can use the Exaction Squad Tac Ops listed below, as specified in the mission sequence.
SEIZE OR INCAPACITATE
Exaction Squad – Faction Tac Op 1
Reveal this Tac Op in the Target Reveal step of the first Turning Point. Select one enemy operative to be the criminal. If that operative is incapacitated, before it is removed from the killzone, place one of your Criminal tokens underneath the operative as close as possible to the centre of its base. Friendly EXACTION SQUADS operatives (excluding R-VR CYBER-MASTIFF operatives) can perform the Pick Up action on that token while not within Engagement Range of an enemy operative. Subtract from their Movement characteristic while they are carrying it.
- If that enemy operative is incapacitated, you score 1VP.
- At the end of the battle, if friendly operatives control your Criminal token, you score 1VP.
CONTAIN THREAT
Exaction Squad – Faction Tac Op 2
Reveal this Tac Op in the Target Reveal step of any Turning Point.
- At the end of any Turning Point, if every enemy operative in the killzone is within of your opponent’s drop zone and/or within of one of your operatives, you score 1VP.
- If you achieve the first condition at the end of any subsequent Turning Points, you score 1VP.
GATHER EVIDENCE
Exaction Squad – Faction Tac Op 3
You can reveal this Tac Op the first time a friendly operative performs the Gather Evidence action (below). At the end of the battle:
- If one or more friendly operatives that have performed the Gather Evidence action have not been incapacitated during the battle, you score 1VP.
- If two or more friendly operatives that have performed the Gather Evidence action have not been incapacitated during the battle, you score 1VP.
GATHER EVIDENCE1AP
An operative can perform this action while it controls an objective marker that has not been examined by your kill team. If it does so, until the end of the battle, that objective marker has been examined by your kill team. An operative cannot perform this action while within Engagement Range of an enemy operative.
Spec Ops Rules
Below you will find a selection of rules for Spec Ops campaigns in which you have selected EXACTION SQUAD as your faction keyword.
Battle Honours
Each time an EXACTION SQUAD operative gains a Battle Honour, instead of determining one from its specialism, you can instead determine one from the Exaction Squad Specialist table below. You can either roll one D6 to randomly determine the Battle Honour (re-rolling if it isn’t suitable), or you can select an appropriate one. As with any Battle Honour, an operative cannot have the same one more than once (if a duplicate result is rolled, roll again until a different result is rolled).
| ||||||||||||||||
Rare Equipment
Each time you would determine an item of rare equipment to add to your stash, if your faction is EXACTION SQUAD, you can determine one from the table below instead of determining one from another source. To do so, you can either roll one D6 to randomly determine the rare equipment (re-rolling if it isn’t suitable), or you can select an appropriate one. As with any item of rare equipment, your stash cannot include more than one of each item (if a duplicate result is rolled, roll again until a different result is rolled).1. FLAK-WEAVE GREATCOAT [2EP] PROCTOR-EXACTANT operative only. Each time this operative fights in combat or a shooting attack is made against it, subtract 1 from both Damage characteristics of weapons the enemy operative is equipped with for that combat or shooting attack. |
2. EXECUTIONER ROUNDS [1EP] Operative equipped with a combat shotgun only. In the Set Up Operatives step, select a type of ammunition for this operative to have loaded into its combat shotgun for the battle: cartridges or executioner rounds. If it has loaded cartridges, it uses either profile of its combat shotgun as normal. If it has loaded executioner rounds, it can only use the long range profile of its combat shotgun, but it gains the following benefits for the battle:
LOAD SHOTGUN1APChange the type of ammunition loaded into the combat shotgun this operative is equipped with (see above). |
3. RELIC SILENCER [2/3EP] Select a shotpistol or scoped shotpistol the operative is equipped with. That weapon gains the Silent special rule for the battle. If you selected a scoped shotpistol, this equipment costs 3EP; otherwise, it costs 2EP. |
4. ‘LAST BREATH’ GAS BOMB [2EP] The operative is equipped with the following ranged weapon for the battle:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
5. VOLITION INHIBITOR [3EP] The operative gains the following ability for the battle: |
6. CX-19 WEB AGENT [1EP] Select a webber the operative is equipped with. That weapon gains the Torrent special rule for the battle. |
Strategic Assets
Each time you would add a strategic asset to your base of operations, if your faction is EXACTION SQUAD, you can select one from the list below instead of selecting one from another source. As with any strategic asset, you can never have more than one of each.WRIT OF JUDGEMENTThis authorisation is held with seals of high office in a cryo-stasis data-casket. Issued by a Marshal of Court, Judge or even the sector's Lord Marshal themselves, this writ gives the kill team the right to arrogate additional assets as they see fit for their mission. After each game, roll one D6, adding 2 to the result if you won: on a 6+, you gain 1 Requisition point. |
PORTABLE BIBLIOCRYPTThe kill team maintains a small data-shrine at which meditative study of the Lex ImperiaIis’ primary legal mandates and precedents can be studied. Arbitrators are reinvigorated by their analyses, and rededicated in soul and spirit to mercilessly punish all transgressors. In the Update Dataslates step of each game, you can roll one D6. You can select up to a number of friendly EXACTION SQUAD operatives equal to the result that have Battle Scars. Add 1 to Recovery tests made for those operatives after that game. |
SCRUTINEER-CLASS DETECTION SUITEThe Exaction Squad has installed an array of augurs, scry-spies, data-informants and comms interception devices in a web around its base of operations. Enemy movements, communications and the subtle energy signatures that tell of specialist equipment can all be detected over long distances. No secret is beyond the reach of the Emperor's Law. If you are the Defender, and/or you select the Fortify option in the Scouting step, you gain 1CP. |
Requisitions
In a Spec Ops campaign, if your faction is EXACTION SQUAD, you can use the following Requisitions in addition to those presented in other sources.FOCUSED ADAPTATION1RP
Exaction Squads are capable of slipping seamlessly into different roles to serve the pursuit of their target.
Purchase this Requisition before or after a game. Remove one ARBITES SUBDUCTOR or ARBITES VIGILANT operative from your dataslate, then add a different EXACTION SQUAD operative to your dataslate (excluding an R-VR CYBER-MASTIFF operative). That new operative has a number of experience points equal to the lowest experience points of the removed operative’s rank (select its Battle Honours accordingly). For example, if you removed an operative that had 20XP, the new operative would have 16XP. It also has the same Battle Scars (if any) of the removed operative.
MONOPOLY ON JUSTICE1RP
The Adeptus Arbites can use the Law to create justification as they see fit, to establish the 'truths' they require.
Purchase this Requisition after a game, if your kill team is currently conducting Operation 1 of a Spec Op, and you did not score victory points from one or more of the operation’s specified Tac Ops. Select one of those Tac Ops; you are treated as having scored victory points from it for the purposes of completing that operation.
TERMINUS WARRANT1RP
An individual has been identified and priority orders have been issued. There is nothing the precinct needs from them now except their immediate removal as an obstacle to the squad's primary target.
Purchase this Requisition before or after a game, if your kill team is currently conducting a Spec Op. Select one enemy operative on an opponent’s dataslate. Until the Spec Op is completed or aborted, friendly EXACTION SQUAD operatives always treat the Execution Order Tactical Ploy as having been used and that enemy operative as being selected for it (this does not prevent you from using the Execution Order Tactical Ploy during battles as normal). While conducting a Spec Op, you can only purchase this Requisition once.
Spec Ops
Each time you would select a Spec Op for your kill team to be assigned to, if your faction is EXACTION SQUAD, you can select one from those found below instead of selecting one from another source.Seize Lawbreaker
The Book of Judgement has cubic miles of volumes dedicated to the acquisition of suspects, abetters and transgressors, and all other categories of the Human element of justice enactment. Few manage to flee far from the Adeptus Arbites.
OPERATION 1: INVESTIGATE LEADS
The kill team must follow leads on an individual crucial to their mission, gathering evidence, planting scry-sensors and hacking data systems for revelatory condemnation.

Complete a game in which you scored victory points from the ‘Seize or Incapacitate’ Tac Op.COMMENDATION

With enemy cohesion and momentum faltering, the kill team advances to crush their spirits, offering the mercy of a just execution to those who identify the target’s location.
Complete a game in which you scored victory points from the ‘Execution’ and/or ’Rout’ Tac Op.COMMENDATION
- You gain one Requisition point.
- After the battle, all friendly operatives pass Casualty and Recovery tests.

Cover
If an operative positions themselves in Cover, they will use it for protection while they have an Engage order, or hide behind it while they have a Conceal order. For an intended target to be in Cover, both of the following must be true:- The intended target is more than from the active operative.
- The intended target is within of a point at which a Cover line crosses another operative’s base (unless that other operative is not itself in the active operative’s LoS), or a terrain feature that provides Cover (see Terrain Traits).
Note that an intended target that has an Engage order can gain a defensive benefit for being in Cover as specified in the shooting sequence.
GUILT REVEALS ITSELF1CP
Strategic Ploy
Until the end of the Turning Point, each time a friendly EXACTION SQUAD operative makes a shooting attack, enemy operatives must be more than 2 (instead of ) from it to be in Cover.
Acts of Faith
Keep a pool of Faith points. At the start of each Turning Point, if there are any friendly NOVITIATE operatives in the kill zone, you gain 3 Faith points. In addition, you gain one Faith point at the end of an activation, if any of the following apply:
Unless otherwise specified, only one Act of Faith can be used during each activation (friendly or enemy). For example, a shooting attack is made against a friendly NOVITIATE operative. In the Roll Defence Dice step of that shooting attack, that operative’s controlling player decides to subtract 2 Faith points to use Divine Shield to retain one failed save as a successful normal save. No other Acts of Faith can then be performed during that activation (other than Faithful Blessing).
The Balance Dataslate: You cannot use Acts of Faith to change dice you’ve re-rolled.
- During that activation, a friendly NOVITIATE operative with the Combat specialism incapacitated an enemy operative in a combat.
- During that activation, a friendly NOVITIATE operative with the Marksman specialism incapacitated an enemy operative with a shooting attack.
- During that activation, a friendly NOVITIATE operative with the Staunch specialism performed a mission action.
- A friendly NOVITIATE operative with the Scout specialism was activated and finished that activation within of the enemy drop zone.
Unless otherwise specified, only one Act of Faith can be used during each activation (friendly or enemy). For example, a shooting attack is made against a friendly NOVITIATE operative. In the Roll Defence Dice step of that shooting attack, that operative’s controlling player decides to subtract 2 Faith points to use Divine Shield to retain one failed save as a successful normal save. No other Acts of Faith can then be performed during that activation (other than Faithful Blessing).

MUTAGENIC FLESH1CP
Strategic Ploy
Until the end of the Turning Point, each time Normal Damage would be inflicted upon a friendly NURGLE operative from an attack dice, subtract 1 from the damage inflicted from that attack dice (to a minimum of 3).
Mutation
During arcane rituals, the most devoted among a Chaos Cult have evil symbols carved into their flesh or tattooed onto their skin. Should the correct words of invocation be said in battle, these icons appear to draw empyric power to them, which twists the flesh of the Devotee and horrifically mutates them. This does not satisfy the dark cravings and power lust of some. Depraved prayers are written upon flayed skin and nailed into the tormented flesh of these individuals, then daemons are summoned and bound into their mortal bodies.
During the battle, friendly CHAOS CULT operatives can ‘mutate’. Each time they do, choose one of the following:- If it’s a DEVOTEE operative, turn it into a MUTANT operative.
- If it’s a MUTANT operative, turn it into a TORMENT operative.
- It can regain D3+1 lost wounds.
An operative cannot mutate more than once per Turning Point. In addition, you can never have more than five MUTANT operatives and three TORMENT operatives at once.
When an operative mutates into another operative, it’s still the same DEVOTEE operative on your roster/dataslate, so has the same Battle Honours and is the same operative for any Tac Ops it has already been selected for, etc. The operative is simply a new operative type and will use that new type’s miniature and datacard rules. It will revert back to its original DEVOTEE miniature and datacard after the battle.
You can mutate friendly operatives as follows:
- Once in each Strategy phase, when it is your turn to use a Strategic Ploy or pass, you can instead mutate a number of friendly CHAOS CULT operatives equal to the Turning Point number.
- At the end of a combat in which a friendly DEVOTEE operative incapacitated an enemy operative and was not incapacitated itself.
- When a friendly CULT DEMAGOGUE operative performs the Accursed Benediction action (see Cult Demagogue datacard).
When a friendly operative mutates into a new operative:
- Swap the miniatures, ensuring the centre of the new miniature’s base is as close as possible to that of the old miniature. This can put it within Engagement Range of enemy operatives, and if the old miniature was, the new miniature must return there if possible.
- The new operative no longer has full wounds remaining. Instead, it has the same wounds remaining as the preceding operative did, but then regains D3+1 wounds if it’s now a MUTANT operative or D3+3 if it’s now a TORMENT operative; in either case, it cannot go above its maximum wounds.
Visible
For an intended target to be Visible, the following must be true:- You can draw an imaginary, unobstructed straight line (known as a Visibility line) 1 mm wide from the head of the active operative’s miniature to any part of the miniature of the intended target (not its base).
In the rare instance that bases or parts of the active operative’s miniature prevent an intended target from being Visible to the active operative, such as when the active operative is directly below or above the intended target, treat those bases and parts as being invisible.
Some rare rules will require you to select a point that is Visible (e.g. a point on the killzone). In such circumstances, you must be able to draw an imaginary, unobstructed straight line 1mm wide from the head of the active operative’s miniature to the point you would select.
Blast x
Each time a friendly operative performs a Shoot action and selects this weapon (or, in the case of profiles, this weapon’s profile), after making the shooting attack against the target, make a shooting attack with this weapon (using the same profile) against each other operative Visible to and within X of the original target – each of them is a valid target and cannot be in Cover. X is the distance after the weapon’s Blast, e.g. Blast . An operative cannot make a shooting attack with this weapon by performing an Overwatch action.
- An operative performs a Shoot action, selects a ranged weapon with the Blast special rule, and selects operative A as the target.
- After making the shooting attack against operative A, it makes a shooting attack against operative B, determining if it is a valid target as if operative A was making the shooting attack.
- It cannot make a shooting attack against operative C, as when determining if it is a valid target in this manner, operative C is not Visible to operative A due to the terrain feature between them.
Engagement Range
Engagement Range is the zone of threat that operatives present to their enemies. Many rules in the game use Engagement Range, such as when moving and fighting. Engagement Range is mutual, therefore operatives are within each other’s Engagement Range if one of them is Visible to and within of the other.
The HUNTER CLADE and RANGER keywords are used in the following Hunter Clade datacards:
PURSUERS1CP
Tactical Ploy
Use this Tactical Ploy in the Scouting step of the mission sequence, when you resolve your scouting option.
- If you selected the Recon option, you can also perform a free Dash action with up to two friendly HUNTER CLADE RANGER operatives that are wholly within your drop zone.
- If you selected the Infiltrate option, during the first Turning Point, you can also change the order of up to two ready friendly HUNTER CLADE RANGER operatives when each of them are activated.
Actions
Actions are categorised as follows:- Universal actions can be performed by all operatives. They are detailed below.
- Unique actions are actions detailed on an operative’s datacard that only they can perform, such as the Dakka Dash action found on the example datacard.
- Mission actions are specific to the mission you are playing, and will be detailed by that mission’s briefing. Missions can be found here (Open Play mission) and here (Spec Ops Narrative missions).
- Free actions can only be performed when another rule specifies. Each time an operative would perform a free action, the following rules apply.
- The operative can perform the action, so long as the requirements of the action are met.
- The player does not subtract any additional AP to perform the action.
- The operative would still count as performing the action for all rules purposes. For example, if it performed it during its activation, it would not be able to perform the action again during that activation.
For example, when a KOMMANDO DAKKA BOY performs a Dakka Dash action (see unique actions, above), it can perform a free Dash and free Shoot action without subtracting any additional AP (other than the AP spent on the Dakka Dash action). However, it is subject to those actions’ requirements, therefore it cannot perform the free Dash action if it is within Engagement Range of enemy operatives, and cannot perform the free Shoot action if it is within Engagement Range of enemy operatives or has a Conceal order. In addition, for each of the free actions it performs, it cannot perform them again during its activation.
Modifying Characteristics
Some rules will modify the characteristics of an operative and/or their weapons. All modifiers to a characteristic are cumulative.If a characteristic refers to the result required when rolling a D6 (i.e. Save, Ballistic Skill and Weapon Skill), the modifier will specify to improve or worsen the characteristic. As a lower result is a better characteristic, the modifier should be applied accordingly. For example, if a Ballistic Skill of 4+ is worsened by 1, it would be modified to a 5+.
If an operative’s APL is modified, it lasts until the end of its current or next activation (whichever comes first). Regardless of how many APL modifiers an operative is affected by, the total modification can never be more than -1 or +1 from its normal APL. For example, if an operative has an APL of 2, and two rules say to add 1 to the operative’s APL, until the end of its next activation it would have an APL of 3.
Lethal x
Each time a friendly operative fights in combat or makes a shooting attack with this weapon, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that combat or shooting attack, your attack dice results of equal to or greater than x that are successful hits are critical hits, x is the number after the weapon’s Lethal, e.g. Lethal 5+.
Ruthless Efficiency
Arbitrators have long experience in claustrophobic confrontations and synchronise their tactics to eliminate foes. With chilling precision, they open fire on the guilty even in the press of combat.
Each time a friendly operative with this ability makes a shooting attack with a weapon that doesn’t have the Blast special rule or the word ‘grenade’ in its name, in the Select Valid Target step of that shooting attack, enemy operatives within of it can have other friendly operatives within Engagement Range and still be selected as a valid target (they must still be a valid target by all other means).Each time a friendly operative with this ability makes a shooting attack with a weapon that doesn’t have the Blast special rule or the word ‘grenade’ in its name, if the target is within of another friendly EXACTION SQUAD operative, that ranged weapon has the P1 critical hit rule for that shooting attack.
No Cover
Each time a friendly operative makes a shooting attack with this weapon, for that shooting attack, defence dice cannot be automatically retained as a result of Cover (they must be rolled instead).
Silent
While an operative has a Conceal order, it can perform Shoot actions if this is the ranged weapon (or weapon profile) that is selected for the shooting attack(s).
Rng x
Range. Each time a friendly operative makes a shooting attack with this weapon, only operatives within x are a valid target, x is the distance after the weapon’s Rng, e.g. Rng . All other rules for selecting a valid target still apply.
Indirect
Each time a friendly operative makes a shooting attack with this weapon, in the select valid target step of that shooting attack, enemy operatives are not in Cover.
Limited
This weapon can only be selected for use once per battle. If the weapon has a special rule that would allow it to make more than one shooting attack for an action (e.g. Blast), make each of those attacks as normal.
Torrent x
Each time a friendly operative performs a Shoot action or Overwatch action and selects this weapon, after making the shooting attack against the target, it can make a shooting attack with this weapon against each other valid target within x of the original target and each other, x is the distance after the weapon’s Torrent, e.g. Torrent .
- An operative performs a Shoot action, selects a ranged weapon with the Torrent special rule, and selects operative A as the target.
- After making the shooting attack against operative A, it makes a shooting attack against operative B and C, determining if they are a valid target as normal.
- It cannot make a shooting attack against operative D, as while that operative is within of operative A and C, it is not within of operative B.

- If one or more friendly operatives that have performed the Gather Evidence action have not been incapacitated during the battle, you score 1VP.
- If two or more friendly operatives that have performed the Gather Evidence action have not been incapacitated during the battle, you score 1VP.
GATHER EVIDENCE1AP
An operative can perform this action while it controls an objective marker that has not been examined by your kill team. If it does so, until the end of the battle, that objective marker has been examined by your kill team. An operative cannot perform this action while within Engagement Range of an enemy operative.
Actions
Actions are categorised as follows:- Universal actions can be performed by all operatives. They are detailed below.
- Unique actions are actions detailed on an operative’s datacard that only they can perform, such as the Dakka Dash action found on the example datacard.

- The player does not subtract any additional AP to perform the action.
- The operative would still count as performing the action for all rules purposes. For example, if it performed it during its activation, it would not be able to perform the action again during that activation.
For example, when a KOMMANDO DAKKA BOY performs a Dakka Dash action (see unique actions, above), it can perform a free Dash and free Shoot action without subtracting any additional AP (other than the AP spent on the Dakka Dash action). However, it is subject to those actions’ requirements, therefore it cannot perform the free Dash action if it is within Engagement Range of enemy operatives, and cannot perform the free Shoot action if it is within Engagement Range of enemy operatives or has a Conceal order. In addition, for each of the free actions it performs, it cannot perform them again during its activation.
