FAQ

Expansion: Kill Team Annual 2022 (Hunter Clade)

Q:With the Balance Dataslate change in mind, does the Deprecation take effect for a Doctrina Imperative selected for the Command Override Tactical Ploy?
A:
Yes. Deprecation effects are only ignored the first time a Doctrina Imperative is selected for your kill team in the Strategy phase.
Archetype: Seek & Destroy / Recon

Hunter Clade Kill Team

Below you will find a list of the operatives that make up a HUNTER CLADE kill team, including, where relevant, any wargear those operatives must be equipped with.

Operatives

  • 1 HUNTER CLADE operative selected from the following list:
    • SKITARII RANGER ALPHA operative equipped with one of the following:
      • Galvanic rifle; gun butt
      • Master-crafted radium pistol; power weapon
    Or one option from each of the following:
    • Arc pistol or phosphor blast pistol
    • Arc maul or taser goad
    • SKITARII VANGUARD ALPHA operative equipped with one of the following:
      • Radium carbine; gun butt
      • Master-crafted radium pistol; power weapon
    Or one option from each of the following:
    • Arc pistol or phosphor blast pistol
    • Arc maul or taser goad

THE BALANCE DATASLATE
  • Your kill team cannot include more SICARIAN operatives than it does RANGER and VANGUARD operatives combined (but it can include the same).
  • If your kill team includes no more than four SICARIAN operatives, it can include one additional RANGER or VANGUARD operative (for 11 operatives in total).
Your kill team must include more SKITARII RANGER and SKITARII VANGUARD operatives than it does SICARIAN operatives.

Your kill team can only include up to two GUNNER operatives, unless it contains three or fewer SICARIAN operatives, in which case it can include up to three GUNNER operatives. Each GUNNER operative must be equipped with different ranged weapons.

Your kill team can only include up to one DIKTAT and one SURVEYOR operative.

Abilities

Below you will find a common ability of the HUNTER CLADE kill team.

Doctrina Imperatives

In the Strategy phase of the first Turning Point, when it is your turn to use a Strategic Ploy or pass, you must select one Doctrina Imperative below to become active for your kill team instead. That Imperative is active until the end of the battle, or until you change it to a different Imperative, whichever comes first.

In the Strategy phase of a subsequent Turning Point, when it is your turn to use a Strategic Ploy or pass, you can select one different Imperative below to become active for your kill team instead. That Imperative is active until the end of the battle (you cannot change your active Imperative again).

Each Imperative has an Optimisation and a Deprecation effect. Both are in effect while that Imperative is active for your kill team.

THE BALANCE DATASLATE
  • Doctrina Imperatives can be selected each Turning Point (instead of only twice per battle).
  • Ignore each Imperative’s Deprecation effect during the first Turning Point that it is active for your kill team during the battle.

Protector Imperative

Optimisation: Each time a friendly HUNTER CLADE operative makes a shooting attack, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that shooting attack, you can re-roll one of your attack dice.

Deprecation: Each time a friendly HUNTER CLADE operative fights in combat, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that combat, before any other re-rolls, you must re-roll one of your critical hits (if any).

Conqueror Imperative

Optimisation: Each time a friendly HUNTER CLADE operative fights in combat, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that combat, you can re-roll one of your attack dice.

Deprecation: Each time a friendly HUNTER CLADE operative makes a shooting attack, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that shooting attack, before any other re-rolls, you must re-roll one of your critical hits (if any).

Bulwark Imperative

Optimisation: Each time a shooting attack is made against a friendly HUNTER CLADE operative, in the Roll Defence Dice step of that shooting attack, you can re-roll one of your defence dice.

Deprecation: Friendly HUNTER CLADE operatives cannot perform Dash actions.

Aggressor Imperative

Optimisation: Add to the Movement characteristic of friendly HUNTER CLADE operatives.

Deprecation: Each time a shooting attack is made against a friendly HUNTER CLADE operative, defence dice cannot be automatically retained as a result of Cover (they must be rolled instead).

Equalised Imperative

Optimisation: No effect.

Deprecation: No effect.

Strategic Ploys

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

MARTIAL PROTOCOL1CP
Strategic Ploy
Until the end of the Turning Point:
  • Each time a friendly HUNTER CLADE VANGUARD operative that is within of an objective marker or within of your opponent’s drop zone makes a shooting attack, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that shooting attack, you can re-roll one of your attack dice.
  • Each time a friendly HUNTER CLADE RANGER operative that has not moved during the Turning Point makes a shooting attack, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that shooting attack, you can re-roll one of your attack dice.
ACCELERANT AGENTS1CP
Strategic Ploy
Until the end of the Turning Point, each time a friendly HUNTER CLADE RUSTSTALKER operative is activated:
  • It can perform a free Fight action during that activation.
  • It can perform two Fight actions during that activation.
NEUROSTATIC INTERFERENCE1CP
Strategic Ploy
Until the end of the Turning Point, while an enemy operative is within of a friendly HUNTER CLADE INFILTRATOR operative, each time that enemy operative fights in combat or makes a shooting attack, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that combat or shooting attack, your opponent cannot re-roll their attack dice.
CALCULATED APPROACH1CP
Strategic Ploy
Until the end of the Turning Point, each time a shooting attack is made against a friendly HUNTER CLADE operative that is more than from enemy operatives, in the Roll Defence Dice step of that shooting attack, if you retain any critical saves, you can select one of your failed saves to be retained as a successful normal save.

Tactical Ploys

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

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.
COMMAND OVERRIDE1CP
Tactical Ploy
Use this Tactical Ploy when a ready friendly HUNTER CLADE operative is activated. Select one Doctrina Imperative that is not active for your kill team. Until the end of the Turning Point, that Imperative is treated as being active for that operative instead of the current active Imperative.
CONCEALED POSITION1CP
Tactical Ploy
Use this Tactical Ploy in the Set Up Operatives step of the mission sequence. Select one friendly HUNTER CLADE INFILTRATOR operative. That operative can be set up with a Conceal order anywhere in the killzone that is within of Heavy terrain and more than from enemy operatives and the enemy drop zone. That operative cannot have its order changed during the first Turning Point as a result of the Infiltrate option in the Scouting step. You can only use this Tactical Ploy once.
MOTIVE FORCE VITALITY1CP
Tactical Ploy
Use this Tactical Ploy when a ready friendly HUNTER CLADE operative is activated. That operative regains D3 lost wounds.

Tac Ops

If your faction is HUNTER CLADE, you can use the Hunter Clade Tac Ops listed below, as specified in the mission sequence.

RELENTLESS PURSUIT
Hunter Clade – Faction Tac Op 1
You can reveal this Tac Op in the Target Reveal step of any Turning Point.
  • At the end of any Turning Point, if there are no enemy operatives in the killzone more than from friendly operatives, you score 1VP.
  • If you achieve the first condition in any subsequent Turning Points, you score 1VP.
CALCULATED ERADICATION
Hunter Clade – Faction Tac Op 2
Reveal this Tac Op when a Doctrina Imperative first becomes active for your kill team.
  • At the end of any Turning Point, if an Imperative is active for your kill team, and the total wounds lost by enemy operatives during that Turning Point is greater than that lost by friendly operatives, you score 1VP.
  • At the end of any Turning Point, if a different Imperative is active for your kill team, and the total wounds lost by enemy operatives during that Turning Point is greater than that lost by friendly operatives, you score 1VP.
Designer’s Note: After revealing this Tac Op, we recommend keeping a tally of wounds lost by each kill team during each Turning Point.

When counting wounds lost for this Tac Op, if an operative is reduced to 0 wounds, ignore excess wounds lost. For example, if 5 damage is inflicted on an operative with 2 wounds remaining, count 2 wounds lost.

Designer’s Note: This differs from the wording of the Reputation to Maintain Tac Op (ELUCIDIAN STARSTRIDER), where excessive damage only furthers a Rogue Trader’s reputation!
ASSASSINATION ORDER
Hunter Clade – Faction Tac Op 3
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 before the fourth Turning Point, you score 1VP.
  • If the first condition is achieved by a friendly HUNTER CLADE operative within of that enemy operative, you score 1VP.

Spec Ops Rules

Below you will find a selection of rules for Spec Ops campaigns in which you have selected HUNTER CLADE as your Faction keyword.

Battle Honours

Each time a HUNTER CLADE operative gains a Battle Honour, instead of determining one from its specialism, you can instead determine one from the Hunter Clade 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).

HUNTER CLADE SPECIALIST
D6Specialism
1Fixated: The first time you roll attack dice for this operative in each battle, if you do not roll any critical hits, you can select one successful normal hit to be retained as a critical hit instead. That retained hit cannot cause any further critical hits to be retained (e.g. as a result of the Rending critical hit rule).
2Faith in the Machine: Each time this operative is activated, you can ignore any or all modifiers to its APL.
3Blessed Components: You can re-roll Recovery tests taken for this operative.
4Enhanced Bionics: Each time this operative would lose a wound, roll one D6: on a 6, that wound is not lost.
5Consecrated Cybernetics: At the start of each Firefight phase, roll one D6 for this operative: on a 4+, this operative is not affected by the Deprecation effect of your active Imperative.
6Autonomic Cortex: Once per battle, when this operative is activated, you can use the Command Override Tactical Ploy without spending any CPs.

Rare Equipment

Each time you would determine an item of rare equipment to add to your stash, if your faction is HUNTER CLADE, 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. THORIUM ROUNDS [2EP]

Select a master-crafted radium pistol the operative is equipped with. It gains the following improvements for the battle:

  • Lethal 5+ special rule.
  • Add 1 to its Normal Damage characteristic. This is not cumulative with the Enriched Rounds equipment.

2. TECHNODERMIC WEAVE [3EP]

Change the operative’s Save characteristic to 3+ for the battle.

3. AUTOREPAIR APPENDAGE [2EP]

Each time the operative is activated, you can use the Motive Force Vitality Tactical Ploy without spending any CPs.

4. AMPLIFIED DATA EMITTER [3EP]

DIKTAT operative only. Each time the operative performs the Enhanced Data-tether action, you can select any friendly HUNTER CLADE operative in the killzone (instead of one Visible to and within of it).

5. OMNISPECTRAL ANALYSER [3EP]

SURVEYOR operative only. For the battle, for the purposes of the operative’s Omnispex action, add the following bullet point to the list of effects for the shooting attack specified by that action:

  • That friendly operative’s ranged weapons have the Relentless special rule.

6. ARC GRENADE [3EP]

The operative is equipped with the following ranged weapon for the battle:

Assets

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

ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRA-STORM

Before battle, the Skitarii of this kill team chant a binharic psalm. This triggers a microrelease of their own motive force, which interacts with chemicals in the air to create a shimmering veil of flashes, obscuring them from view.

During the first Turning Point, when determining if a friendly HUNTER CLADE operative is in an enemy operative’s Line of Sight, if that friendly operative is more than from that enemy operative, that friendly operative is treated as being in Cover.

REPAIR REPOSITORY

This large, archaic device has a mysterious provenance and is made of components that cannot be replaced. Provided a wounded operative is patient enough, the repository will repair any damage to their bionics.

Once after each battle, before rolling a Recovery test for a friendly HUNTER CLADE operative, if that operative was Rested, you can automatically pass that Recovery test.

DATA AUGUR

This kill team's base of operations is fitted with sophisticated data-gathering systems. Additionally, they have remote access to augur feeds on allied stations, providing a detailed understanding of the surrounding area, which is essential on their hunts.

When determining your Tac Ops for each battle, you can select two from one draw, instead of one. Note that you can still only select a total of three Tac Ops for each battle.


Requisitions

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

ARCHEOTECH VAULT1RP

The headquarters of this kill team's Tech-Priest masters contains a vault of rare and powerful equipment. These can be assigned to designated units who have earned the right to carry such artefacts.

Purchase this Requisition before or after a game. Remove one item of rare equipment from your stash and add a different item of rare equipment to your stash. You cannot purchase this Requisition if you do not have any rare equipment in your stash.
RECYCLED0RP

A damaged or ineffective operative is decommissioned and their bionics used for parts.

Purchase this Requisition when a HUNTER CLADE operative is removed from your dataslate. Add up the number of ranks that operative had (e.g. a Grizzled operative has 4 ranks) and subtract the number of Battle Scars that operative had. You gain a number of Requisition points equal to the difference.
MARK ASSIGNED1RP

Hunter Clades are expert assassins, often deployed to hunt their targets relentlessly in order to eliminate them, thus removing a crucial element of the enemy's war effort.

Purchase this Requisition before or after a game. Select one operative type (e.g. Kommando Snipa Boy, Marksman Pathfinder etc.) to be marked for your kill team, and make a note of it in the Notes section of your dataslate. Each time a friendly HUNTER CLADE operative fights in combat or makes a shooting attack, if the target is marked for your kill team, you can re-roll one of your attack dice. If an enemy operative marked for your kill team is incapacitated by a friendly HUNTER CLADE operative, that friendly operative gains 2XP and that enemy operative is no longer marked for your kill team. You cannot use this Requisition if you already have an operative marked for your kill team, but you can choose for an operative to be no longer marked for your kill team in order to use this Requisition.

Spec Ops

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

Dauntless Pursuit

With a machine-like focus, the kill team relentlessly pursues their quarry, giving chase across killzone after killzone until the enemy can run no more.

OPERATION 1: PURSUIT

The kill team gives chase to their enemies, engaging in back-to-back battles. With their Machine God-given stamina and focus, they aim to outlast the enemy with their gruelling tactics.

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.

To establish Cover lines, the active operative’s controlling player draws imaginary straight lines, 1mm wide, from any part of the active operative’s base to every part of the intended target’s base.
Doctrina Imperatives
In the Strategy phase of the first Turning Point, when it is your turn to use a Strategic Ploy or pass, you must select one Doctrina Imperative below to become active for your kill team instead. That Imperative is active until the end of the battle, or until you change it to a different Imperative, whichever comes first.

In the Strategy phase of a subsequent Turning Point, when it is your turn to use a Strategic Ploy or pass, you can select one different Imperative below to become active for your kill team instead. That Imperative is active until the end of the battle (you cannot change your active Imperative again).

Each Imperative has an Optimisation and a Deprecation effect. Both are in effect while that Imperative is active for your kill team.

THE BALANCE DATASLATE
  • Doctrina Imperatives can be selected each Turning Point (instead of only twice per battle).
  • Ignore each Imperative’s Deprecation effect during the first Turning Point that it is active for your kill team during the battle.

Protector Imperative

Optimisation: Each time a friendly HUNTER CLADE operative makes a shooting attack, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that shooting attack, you can re-roll one of your attack dice.

Deprecation: Each time a friendly HUNTER CLADE operative fights in combat, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that combat, before any other re-rolls, you must re-roll one of your critical hits (if any).

Conqueror Imperative

Optimisation: Each time a friendly HUNTER CLADE operative fights in combat, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that combat, you can re-roll one of your attack dice.

Deprecation: Each time a friendly HUNTER CLADE operative makes a shooting attack, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that shooting attack, before any other re-rolls, you must re-roll one of your critical hits (if any).

Bulwark Imperative

Optimisation: Each time a shooting attack is made against a friendly HUNTER CLADE operative, in the Roll Defence Dice step of that shooting attack, you can re-roll one of your defence dice.

Deprecation: Friendly HUNTER CLADE operatives cannot perform Dash actions.

Aggressor Imperative

Optimisation: Add to the Movement characteristic of friendly HUNTER CLADE operatives.

Deprecation: Each time a shooting attack is made against a friendly HUNTER CLADE operative, defence dice cannot be automatically retained as a result of Cover (they must be rolled instead).

Equalised Imperative

Optimisation: No effect.

Deprecation: No effect.

COMMAND OVERRIDE1CP
Tactical Ploy

REPUTATION TO MAINTAIN
Elucidian Starstrider – Faction Tac Op 1
Reveal this Tac Op the first time a Fight or Shoot action is declared for a LEADER operative (friendly or enemy). When this Tac Op is revealed, both players start a Reputation tally (if both players reveal this Tac Op simultaneously, only start one Reputation tally each). Add one to your Reputation tally each time a friendly LEADER operative inflicts a point of damage on an enemy operative. Note that, in the rare instance an enemy operative did not lose a wound as a result of a point of damage, you would still add one to the Reputation tally.
  • If your Reputation tally is 12 or more, you score 1VP.
  • At the end of the battle, if your Reputation tally is greater than that of your opponent’s, you score 1VP.
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.
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+.

ENRICHED ROUNDS [2EP]

Select one radium carbine or master-crafted radium pistol the operative is equipped with. Add 1 to that weapon’s Normal Damage characteristic for the battle.
MOTIVE FORCE VITALITY1CP
Tactical Ploy
Use this Tactical Ploy when a ready friendly HUNTER CLADE operative is activated. That operative regains D3 lost 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
OVERRUN
Recon – Tac Op
You can reveal this Tac Op in the Target Reveal step of any Turning Point.
  • At the end of any Turning Point, if a friendly operative is wholly within each killzone quarter and more than from the centre of the killzone, you score 1VP.
  • If you achieve the first condition at the end of any subsequent Turning Points, you score 1VP.
ROUT
Seek & Destroy – Tac Op
You can reveal this Tac Op in the Target Reveal step of any Turning Point.
  • If an enemy operative is incapacitated by a friendly operative that is within of your opponent’s drop zone, you score 1VP.
  • If you achieve the first condition in any subsequent Turning Points, you score 1VP.
RELENTLESS PURSUIT
Hunter Clade – Faction Tac Op 1
You can reveal this Tac Op in the Target Reveal step of any Turning Point.
  • At the end of any Turning Point, if there are no enemy operatives in the killzone more than from friendly operatives, you score 1VP.
  • If you achieve the first condition in any subsequent Turning Points, you score 1VP.
CALCULATED ERADICATION
Hunter Clade – Faction Tac Op 2
Reveal this Tac Op when a Doctrina Imperative first becomes active for your kill team.
  • At the end of any Turning Point, if an Imperative is active for your kill team, and the total wounds lost by enemy operatives during that Turning Point is greater than that lost by friendly operatives, you score 1VP.
  • At the end of any Turning Point, if a different Imperative is active for your kill team, and the total wounds lost by enemy operatives during that Turning Point is greater than that lost by friendly operatives, you score 1VP.
Designer’s Note: After revealing this Tac Op, we recommend keeping a tally of wounds lost by each kill team during each Turning Point.

When counting wounds lost for this Tac Op, if an operative is reduced to 0 wounds, ignore excess wounds lost. For example, if 5 damage is inflicted on an operative with 2 wounds remaining, count 2 wounds lost.

Designer’s Note: This differs from the wording of the Reputation to Maintain Tac Op (ELUCIDIAN STARSTRIDER), where excessive damage only furthers a Rogue Trader’s reputation!

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.

  • If a friendly operative performs the Vantage action, you score 1VP.

Friendly operatives can perform the following mission action:

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.

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.

  1. An operative performs a Shoot action, selects a ranged weapon with the Blast special rule, and selects operative A as the target.
  2. 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.
