Ability

Below, you will find common ability of the FARSTALKER KINBAND kill team.

Rogue

The Kroot of FarstaIker Kinbands are experienced raiders, infiltrators and scouts. They have mastered the art of using local terrain to their best advantage, concealing themselves before launching ambushes.

Each time a shooting attack is made against this operative, in the Roll Defence Dice step of that shooting attack, before rolling your defence dice, if it is in Cover, you can do one of the following:

Retain one additional dice as a successful normal save as a result of Cover.
Retain one dice as a successful critical save instead of a normal save as a result of Cover.

In addition, each time a shooting attack is made against this operative, the No Cover special rule has no effect for that shooting attack.

Strategic Ploys

If your faction is FARSTALKER KINBAND, you can use the following Strategic Ploys during a game.

CUT-THROATS1CP

Strategic Ploy

Until the end of the Turning Point, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of melee weapons friendly FARSTALKER KINBAND operatives are equipped with (to a maximum of 5).

FARSTALK1CP

Immediately change the order of up to three friendly FARSTALKER KINBAND operatives that are more than from enemy operatives.

PREY1CP

Strategic Ploy

Until the end of the Turning Point, friendly FARSTALKER KINBAND operatives gain the following ability:

BOUND1CP

Strategic Ploy

Until the end of the Turning Point, FARSTALKER KINBAND operatives:

Ignore the first distance of they travel each time they climb, drop or traverse.
Automatically pass jump tests.

Tactical Ploys

If your faction is FARSTALKER KINBAND, you can use the following Tactical Ploys during a game.

MERCENARY CONTRACT1CP

Tactical Ploy

Use this Tactical Ploy in the Select Tac Ops step, when building your Tac Ops deck. Instead of adding one card to your deck from your selected archetype, you can add one from an archetype you did not choose (you must still have a six-card deck).

SLIP AWAY1CP

Tactical Ploy

POACH1CP

Tactical Ploy

Use this Tactical Ploy when a friendly FARSTALKER KINBAND operative is activated. Until the end of its activation, that operative only needs to be within the required range of an objective marker or token to perform mission actions and the Pick Up action associated with that objective marker (they do not need to control it). In addition, they can do so while within Engagement Range of an enemy operative.

VENGEANCE FOR THE KINBAND1CP

Tactical Ploy

Use this Tactical Ploy when a friendly FARSTALKER KINBAND operative is incapacitated by an enemy operative. Until the end of the battle, each time another friendly FARSTALKER KINBAND 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. You cannot use this Tactical Ploy in the battle again until that enemy operative is incapacitated.

Tac Ops

If your faction is FARSTALKER KINBAND, you can use the Farstalker Kinband Tac Ops listed below, as specified in the mission sequence.

BUTCHER

Farstalker Kinband – Faction Tac Op 1

Reveal this Tac Op the first time an enemy operative is incapacitated. Each time an enemy operative is incapacitated, before it is removed from the killzone, place one of your Meat tokens underneath the operative as close as possible to the centre of its base. The Pick Up action can be performed upon your Meat tokens by friendly FARSTALKER KINBAND operatives, even if they are carrying another objective marker or token.

At the end of the battle, if the total number of your Meat tokens that friendly operatives control is equal to or more than a quarter of the number of enemy operatives selected for deployment, you score 1VP.
At the end of the battle, if the total number of your Meat tokens that friendly operatives control is equal to or more than half of the number of enemy operatives selected for deployment, you score 1VP.

BALANCE THE BOOKS

Farstalker Kinband – Faction Tac Op 2

If you score maximum victory points from a Tac Op, and no more than half of your operatives have been incapacitated when you do so, you score 1VP.
If you score maximum victory points from another Tac Op, and no more than half of your operatives have been incapacitated when you do so, you score 1VP.

BOUNTY HUNTERS

Reveal this Tac Op in the Target Reveal step of the first Turning Point. Your opponent selects one of their operatives.

If that enemy operative is incapacitated, you score 1VP and place your Bounty token underneath the operative as close as possible to the centre of its base.
If a friendly operative performs the Confirm Hit action, you score 1VP.

Friendly operatives can perform the following mission action:

CONFIRM HIT1AP

An operative can perform this action while within of your Bounty token and not within Engagement Range of an enemy operative. Remove your Bounty token.

Spec Ops Rules

Each time you would select a Spec Op for your kill team to be assigned to, if your faction is FARSTALKER KINBAND you can select one from those listed below instead of selecting one from another source.

Battle Honours

Each time a FARSTALKER KINBAND operative gains a Battle Honour, instead of determining one from its specialism, you can determine one from the Farstalker Kinband 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).

FARSTALKER KINBAND SPECIALIST
D6	Specialism
1	Savage: Add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of melee weapons this operative is equipped with (to a maximum of 4).
2	Eye on the Mark: Each time this operative makes a shooting attack during its activation, if it has not yet moved during that activation, ranged weapons it is equipped with (excluding quill grenades) gain the No Cover special rule for that shooting attack.
3	Trapper: This operative can perform a Charge action if it has a Conceal order.
4	Wiry: Each time this operative makes any kind of move, it can move around, across and over other operatives (and their bases) as if they were not there, but must finish its move following all requirements specified by that move, and cannot finish its move on top of other operatives (or their bases).
5	Leathery Physiology: Each time this operative would lose a wound as a result of an attack dice that inflicts 4 damage or less, roll one D6: on a 6, that wound is not lost.
6	Clandestine: If this operative has a Conceal order and is in Cover provided by Light terrain, enemy operatives cannot treat it as being on an Engage order as a result of a Vantage Point.

Rare Equipment

Each time you would determine an item of rare equipment to add to your stash, if your faction is FARSTALKER KINBAND, 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. KINBLADE [3EP]

KROOT KILL-BROKER operative only. Instead of its blade, the operative is equipped with the following melee weapon for the battle:

	Name	A	BS/WS	D
	Kinblade	3	2+	4/5
Special Rules		!
Balanced		Rending

2. KNARLOC HIDE [2EP]

5. KIN TOTEM [2EP]

The operative gains the following ability for the battle:

6. WINDMARK [1EP]

The operative gains the following ability for the battle:

Windmark: Add to this operative’s Movement characteristic for the battle.

Strategic Assets

Each time you would add a strategic asset to your base of operations, if your faction is FARSTALKER KINBAND, 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.

SPOILS SAFE

On their many varied missions, Farstalker Kinbands acquire all manner of resources, equipment and materials that may be of use to the wider kindred and the rest of their species. They keep this secure at all times, and draw upon it when required for battle.

In the Strategy phase of the first Turning Point, add 1 additional Command point to your pool.

WEAPON WORKBENCH

Kroot of Farstalker Kinbands spend much time customising their weapons to make them more effective in battle, as well as personalising them with spiritually significant trinkets and tokens.

While your base of operations has this strategic asset, all ranged weapons rare equipment items from the Kill Team Core Book, are treated as being in your stash. However Kroot pistols, Kroot rifles and Kroot scatterguns are the only ranged weapons that can be upgraded as a result of this. Note that ranged weapons rare equipment items added to your stash in the usual manner do not have this restriction.

MEAT LOCKER

Food is of the utmost importance to the Kroot - not just for sustenance but also for the genetic material it contains that might be of great evolutionary value to their kind. As a result, anything they do not consume immediately they store securely.

Each time a Recovery test is taken for a friendly FARSTALKER KINBAND operative, if it was not incapacitated during that battle, treat it as being Rested for one additional game.

Requisitions

In a Spec Ops campaign, if your faction is FARSTALKER KINBAND, you can use the following Requisitions in addition to those presented in other sources.

NEGOTIATE1RP

The Knot’s leaders have become adept at negotiating employment contracts that yield considerable rewards.

Purchase this Requisition when you receive a commendation (e.g. for completing all of a Spec Op’s operations). Select one of that commendation’s bullet points, then select a bullet point from a different commendation your kill team could have access to (it cannot be the same reward as another bullet point from your received commendation and it cannot be one in which you gain Requisition points). Gain the rewards of the second selected bullet point instead of the first.

HONOURABLE OFFERING1RP

When a Kroot is maimed or dies, Kroot can eat their flesh so that their memories and knowledge are retained for following generations. In desperate times, should a Kroot be so injured or sick that they slow down their kin, their fellows will put them out of their misery and consume their flesh also.

Purchase this Requisition when a friendly FARSTALKER KINBAND operative of Veteran rank or higher is removed from your dataslate or gains the Critical Impairment Battle Scar. You can select a number of other friendly FARSTALKER KINBAND operatives on your dataslate up to the number of ranks that operative has/had multiplied by two; each selected operative earns 1XP. For example, if a FARSTALKER KINBAND operative of Veteran rank gains the Critical Impairment Battle Scar, up to four other friendly FARSTALKER KINBAND operatives could each earn 1XP.

If you purchased this Requisition when a friendly FARSTALKER KINBAND operative gained the Critical Impairment Battle Scar, that Battle Scar can only be removed as a result of a passed Recovery Test result of 6 (a bionic replacement must be sought instead!). Each friendly FARSTALKER KINBAND operative can only provide experience points to other friendly operatives from this Requisition once (if they do so, make a note of it on their narrative datacard).

DEBT OWED1RP

The Kroot of Farstalker Kinbands have an extremely close bond. Those who harm one of their number can expect payback, with interest.

Purchase this Requisition when a friendly FARSTALKER KINBAND operative fails a Casualty test. Make a note of the Faction keyword of the enemy operative that incapacitated that operative; that faction owes you a debt. Each time you play a game against a faction that owes you a debt, you gain the following benefit for the battle: the Balanced special rule allows you to re-roll up to two of your attack dice (instead of one) during that game.

If you win a game against a faction that owes you a debt, the debt is no longer owed to you and the benefit ends. Alternatively, after the battle, after taking Casualty tests in the Update Dataslates step, you can choose for the debt to be no longer owed to you, in which case the benefit ends and all operatives that did not fail an Out of Action test suffer the Cerebral Affliction Battle Scar. You can only have one debt owed to you at once.

Spec Ops

Each time you would select a Spec Op for your kill team to be assigned to, if your faction is FARSTALKER KINBAND, you can select one from those found below instead of selecting one from another source.
