Each time an enemy operative incapacitates a friendly HEARTHKYN SALVAGER operative, that enemy operative gains a Grudge token.Each time a friendly HEARTHKYN SALVAGER operative fights in combat or makes a shooting attack against an enemy operative, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that combat or shooting attack, for each Grudge token that enemy operative has, you can retain one of your successful normal hits as a critical hit instead.
Steady Advance
The Kin are a robust and pragmatic people, used to hard lives in the galactic core where danger is to be found aplenty on uncharted worlds and asteroids. Thus they are well trained and experienced in traversing treacherous terrain.

SETTLE GRUDGES
Hearthkyn Salvager – Faction Tac Op 1

The Pick Up action can be performed upon your Excavation token by friendly HEARTHKYN SALVAGER operatives.
If the friendly operative is equipped with an excavation tool, the Excavate action costs one less action point (to a minimum of 0AP; this is not cumulative with the LUGGER operative’s I’ve Got It ability). An operative cannot perform the Excavate action while within Engagement Range of an enemy operative, or if your Excavation token has already been placed.

Spec Ops Rules
Below you will find a selection of rules for Spec Ops campaigns in which you have selected HEARTHKYN SALVAGER as your Faction keyword.
Battle Honours
Each time a HEARTHKYN SALVAGER operative gains a Battle Honour, instead of determining one from its specialism, you can determine one from the Hearthkyn Salvager 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 HEARTHKYN SALVAGER, 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. A GRUDGE DECLARED [3EP] The operative gains the following ability for the battle: |

Strategic Assets
Each time you would add a strategic asset to your base of operations, if your faction is HEARTHKYN SALVAGER, 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.SUPPLY HOLDThe Kin expect to recover a great deal of technology and resources on their missions, and so have established a sizeable supply hold to secure all of it. While your base of operations has this strategic asset, double the quantities of HEARTHKYN SALVAGER equipment in your stash. |
ENHANCED PAN SPECTRAL SCANNERThis larger version of the handheld pan spectral scanner can survey a more substantial expanse of ground, enabling the Kin to better assess the nature of the terrain around them and discover the optimal routes of travel through a space hulk. In the Select Drop Zone step, after rolling off to determine who decides Attacker and Defender, you can re-roll your dice. |
EXCAVATION MACHINERYThough the Hearthkyn Salvagers’ primary purpose is not to strip a space hulk or wreck of all its valuables, they have the operational remit and equipment to pave the way for those completing that task. Heavy excavation machinery can help them clear paths or move priority salvage, and can even serve as barricades if need be. At the end of the Scouting step, if you are the Defender or selected the Fortify option, you can move one terrain feature within of your drop zone that does not include any parts with the Heavy trait up to . |
Requisitions
In a Spec Ops campaign, if your faction is HEARTHKYN SALVAGER, you can use the following Requisitions in addition to those presented in other sources.THEIR HEARTH BURNS1RP
When a Kin has become especially impassioned or angry or becomes utterly relentless in the pursuit of their goals, it is said of them that Their Hearth Burns. Kin in this state of mind are particularly dogged and dangerous foes.
Purchase this Requisition after a game in which a friendly HEARTHKYN SALVAGER operative was incapacitated by an enemy operative. That friendly operative is harbouring a grudge against that enemy operative’s faction (make a note of this and the enemy’s Faction keyword in the ‘Notes’ section of its narrative datacard). Each time that friendly operative fights in combat or makes a shooting attack against an enemy operative with that Faction keyword, that enemy operative has one additional Grudge token for that combat or shooting attack.
Once that friendly operative has incapacitated 3 enemy operatives with that Faction keyword (this does not have to be in the same battle), it’s no longer harbouring a grudge. You cannot use this Requisition if a friendly operative is already harbouring a grudge, unless you choose to renounce the grudge, in which case that friendly operative loses D6 experience points and is no longer harbouring a grudge.
Once that friendly operative has incapacitated 3 enemy operatives with that Faction keyword (this does not have to be in the same battle), it’s no longer harbouring a grudge. You cannot use this Requisition if a friendly operative is already harbouring a grudge, unless you choose to renounce the grudge, in which case that friendly operative loses D6 experience points and is no longer harbouring a grudge.
RETURN TO THE ANCESTOR1RP
A key driving force for the Kin is to enrich their Votann with knowledge of the galaxy. The more experience and information a Kin accrues, the more they bring to their Ancestor Core.
Purchase this Requisition after a game in which a friendly HEARTHKYN SALVAGER operative was incapacitated and removed from your dataslate. You gain a number of Requisition Points equal to the number of ranks that operative had. For example, if that operative had the Ace rank, you would gain 3RP.
PETITION THE GUILD2RP
The kill team approaches one of the Kin’s many Guilds seeking unusual equipment that will aid them on their missions. The Guild is happy to oblige, provided that the squad offer something of comparable value to them in return.
Purchase this Requisition before a game, if your kill team is currently conducting a Spec Op. Randomly determine one Recon or Security Tac Op. Until that Spec Op ends, keep a tally of victory points you score from that Tac Op. When you add the fifth mark to the tally, you can add one item of rare equipment to your stash.

HEARTHKYN SALVAGER, VOTANN, WARRIOR
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.
AUTO-CALIBRATOR [1EP]
Select one of the operative’s ranged weapons. Each time the operative makes a shooting attack with that weapon during the battle, you can ignore any or all modifiers to its Ballistic Skill characteristic.Grudge
If a particular foe shames or insults the Kin gravely enough, they will become the subject of a Grudge. To destroy this most hated enemy, the Kin will go to any lengths, even if it is to their own detriment.
Each time an enemy operative incapacitates a friendly HEARTHKYN SALVAGER operative, that enemy operative gains a Grudge token.Each time a friendly HEARTHKYN SALVAGER operative fights in combat or makes a shooting attack against an enemy operative, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that combat or shooting attack, for each Grudge token that enemy operative has, you can retain one of your successful normal hits as a critical hit instead.
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.
Px
Piercing. Each time a friendly operative makes a shooting attack with this weapon, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that shooting attack, if you retain any critical hits, the weapon gains the APx special rule for that shooting attack, x is the number after the weapon’s P, e.g. P1.
EXCAVATION TOOL [2EP]
The operative gains the following ability for the battle:Excavation Tool: At the end of the Set Up Barricades step, place one of your Clearance tokens within of a part of a terrain feature with the Traversable trait and more than from your opponent’s drop zone. Until the end of the battle, friendly operatives do not have to traverse that terrain feature; they can move through it as if it were not there, so long as they do so within of that token. Note that they cannot finish the move on that terrain feature. You can select this item of equipment no more than three times for the battle.
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.
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).
Rending
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, if you retain any critical hits you can retain one normal hit as a critical hit.
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.
RIG SITE
Hearthkyn Salvager – Faction Tac Op 3
Reveal this Tac Op in the Target Reveal step of any Turning Point.
- If a friendly operative performs the Rig Site action (below), you score 1VP.
- If you achieve the first condition and at the end of the battle the total APL of friendly operatives within of a rigging point is greater than that of enemy operatives, you score 1VP.
RIG SITE2AP
An operative can perform this action while it and another friendly HEARTHKYN SALVAGER operative are within of a rigging point, and one of them (but not the other) is on its Vantage Point. An operative cannot perform this action while it or the other friendly HEARTHKYN SALVAGER operative are within Engagement Range of an enemy operative.
SEIZE GROUND
Security – Tac Op
Reveal this Tac Op in the Target Reveal step of the first Turning Point. Select one terrain feature that is more than from your drop zone and includes any parts with the Heavy trait.
- At the end of the battle, if the total APL of friendly operatives within of that terrain feature is greater than that of enemy operatives, you score 1VP.
- If you achieve the first condition, there are no enemy operatives on or within of that terrain feature, and the total APL of friendly operatives within of that terrain feature is 4 or more, you score 1VP.
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.
VANTAGE
Recon – Tac Op
You can reveal this Tac Op in the Target Reveal step of any Turning Point.
- If a friendly operative performs the Vantage action, you score 1VP.
- If you achieve the first condition in any subsequent Turning Points, you score 1VP.
VANTAGE2AP
An operative can perform this action while on a Vantage Point that is not within your drop zone and has not been secured by friendly operatives. An operative cannot perform this action while within of enemy operatives. If this action is performed by friendly operatives, that Vantage Point has been secured by friendly operatives.
EXCAVATE
Hearthkyn Salvager – Faction Tac Op 2
Reveal this Tac Op when a friendly operative performs the Excavate action (below). At the end of the battle:
- If friendly operatives control your Excavation token, you score 1VP.
- If a friendly operative is also carrying your Excavation token, you score 1VP.
EXCAVATE2AP
An operative can perform this action while it controls an objective marker that is more than from your drop zone. If it does so, place your Excavation token on the centre of that objective marker. The Pick Up action can be performed upon your Excavation token by friendly HEARTHKYN SALVAGER operatives.
If the friendly operative is equipped with an excavation tool, the Excavate action costs one less action point (to a minimum of 0AP; this is not cumulative with the LUGGER operative’s I’ve Got It ability). An operative cannot perform the Excavate action while within Engagement Range of an enemy operative, or if your Excavation token has already been placed.
If the friendly operative is equipped with an excavation tool, the Excavate action costs one less action point (to a minimum of 0AP; this is not cumulative with the LUGGER operative’s I’ve Got It ability). An operative cannot perform the Excavate action while within Engagement Range of an enemy operative, or if your Excavation token has already been placed.
SETTLE GRUDGES
Hearthkyn Salvager – Faction Tac Op 1
You can reveal this Tac Op in the Target Reveal step of any Turning Point. When you do so, start a Settle Grudges tally for your kill team, adding one to the tally the first time an enemy operative with a Grudge token is incapacitated in each Turning Point.
- If you add the second mark to your Settle Grudges tally, you score 1VP.
- If you add the third mark to your Settle Grudges tally, you score 1VP.
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 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 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.
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.
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+.
Invulnerable Save x+
Each time a shooting attack is made against an operative, the defender can use its invulnerable save instead of its normal Save characteristic. An invulnerable save is used like a normal Save characteristic, except that it cannot be modified in any way, and is not affected by any APx special rules (meaning the defender would use their normal Defence characteristic). x of the invulnerable save is the dice roll required for the defence dice to be successful, e.g. 4+.
Ceaseless
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, you can re-roll any or all of your attack dice results of 1.
APx
Armour Penetration. Each time a friendly operative makes a shooting attack with this weapon, subtract x from the Defence of the target for that shooting attack, x is the number after the weapon’s AP, e.g. AP1. If two different APx special rules would be in effect for a shooting attack, they are not cumulative - the attacker selects which one to use.
Stun
Each time a friendly operative makes a shooting attack with this weapon, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that shooting attack, if you retain any critical hits, subtract 1 from the target’s APL. Each time a friendly operative fights in combat with this weapon, in the Resolve Successful Hits step of that combat:- The first time you strike with a critical hit, select one of your opponent’s normal hits from that combat to be discarded
- The second time you strike with a critical hit, subtract 1 from the target’s APL.

THEYN operative only. The operative gains the following ability for the battle:Weavefield Crest: While a friendly HEARTHKYN SALVAGER operative is within of this operative, that operative has a 4+ invulnerable save.
The HEARTHKYN SALVAGER keyword is used in the following Hearthkyn Salvager datacards:
The VOTANN keyword is used in the following Hearthkyn Salvager datacards:
Fly
Each time an operative makes any kind of move, if it has the FLY keyword, 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).
Splash x
Each time a friendly operative makes a shooting attack with this weapon, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that shooting attack, for each critical hit retained, inflict x mortal wounds on the target and each other operative Visible to and within of it. x is the number after the weapon’s Splash, e.g. Splash 1.
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.

Relentless
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, you can re-roll any or all of your attack dice.
Fusillade
Each time a friendly operative performs a Shoot action and selects this weapon, after selecting a valid target, you can select any number of other valid targets within of the original target. Distribute your attack dice between the targets you have selected. Make a shooting attack with this weapon (using the same profile) against each of the targets you have selected using the attack dice you have distributed to each of them.
Heavy
An operative cannot perform a Charge, Fall Back or Normal Move action in the same activation in which it performs a Shoot action with this ranged weapon.
Unwieldy
An operative can only make a shooting attack with this weapon if an extra AP is subtracted to perform a Shoot action. It cannot make a shooting attack with this weapon by performing an Overwatch action.
MWx
Mortal wounds. Each time a friendly operative makes a shooting attack with this weapon, in the roll attack dice step of that shooting attack, for each critical hit retained, inflict x mortal wounds on the target, x is the number after the weapon’s MW, e.g. MW3.
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.
Obscured
Regardless of whether a target operative has an Engage or Conceal order, if an Obscuring terrain feature is in the way, an active operative may be unable to have LoS to them. For an intended target to be Obscured, the following must be true:- The intended target is more than from a point at which a Cover line crosses a terrain feature that is Obscuring (see Terrain Traits). However, if the active operative is within of a point at which a Cover line crosses a terrain feature that is Obscuring, that part of the terrain feature is not treated as Obscuring.
Brutal
Each time a friendly operative fights in combat with this weapon, in the Resolve Successful Hits step of that combat, your opponent can only parry with critical hits.
CLIMBING EQUIPMENT [1EP]
The operative gains the following ability for the battle:Climbing Equipment:
- Each time this operative ascends or descends a terrain feature while climbing, the first vertical distance of up to 3 it travels are counted as for that climb.
- This operative does not need to be within of a physical and climbable part of a terrain feature in order to climb it. Each time this operative drops, the intended location can be any vertical distance from the level it occupies.
- Each time this operative drops, it counts any vertical distance it travels as half for that drop.
