FAQ

Expansion: Kill Team: Nachmund (Legionary)

Q:When using the Disgusting Vigour ability, can I retain the successful normal save as a result of Cover as a critical save instead?
A:
Yes. This must be decided before defence dice are rolled, however.
Q:Can the Malignant Aura Tactical Ploy reduce the number of defence dice rolled when using an invulnerable save?
A:
Yes. Invulnerable saves specifically ignore Save characteristic modifiers and the APx special rule, whereas Malignant Aura affects the Defence characteristic.
Q:How do interruptions after an operative performs an action (e.g. Guard) work with the Perpetual Aggression Strategic ploy?
A:
Treat the move as a separate action. Therefore the KHORNE operative can be interrupted after fighting in combat, before or after it moves from Perpetual Aggression.
Q:Some rules allow you to resolve a hit before the attacker (e.g. Bladed Stance ability, VOIDSCARRED KURNATHI). How do these interact with the LEGIONARY SHRIVETALON’s Vicious Reflexes ability?
A:
Vicious Reflexes changes the order of dice resolution, but rules such as Bladed Stance happen before the order of dice resolution. As a result, Bladed Stance would allow the VOIDSCARRED KURNATHI to parry first, then normal dice resolution would begin, starting with the LEGIONARY SHRIVETALON operative.
Q:When resolving the Unending Bloodshed Tactical Ploy, can I use the Wrathful Onslaught ability to strike with a normal hit as if it were a critical hit?
A:
No.
Archetype: Seek & Destroy / Security

Legionary Kill Team

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

Operatives


Other than LEGIONARY WARRIOR operatives, your kill team can only include each operative above once.

<MARK OF CHAOS>

When adding a LEGIONARY operative to your roster or dataslate, you must choose one of the keywords below to replace its selectable <MARK OF CHAOS> keyword with. Unlike other selectable keywords (e.g. <LEGION>), you can have operatives with different <MARK OF CHAOS> keywords in your roster or dataslate.
  • KHORNE
  • NURGLE
  • SLAANESH
  • TZEENTCH
  • UNDIVIDED
If your roster contains any operatives with the KHORNE keyword, it cannot contain any operatives with the SLAANESH keyword (and vice versa).

If your roster contains any operatives with the NURGLE keyword, it cannot contain any operatives with the TZEENTCH keyword (and vice versa).

Abilities

Below, you will find common abilities of the LEGIONARY kill team.

Chaos Blessing

This operative gains one ability from those listed below. The ability it gains depends on its <MARK OF CHAOS> keyword.

Khorne - Wrathful Onslaught
Each time this operative fights in combat, in the Resolve Successful Hits step of that combat, if you did not retain any critical hits, you can strike with one normal hit as if it were a critical hit.

Nurgle - Disgusting Vigour
Each time a shooting attack is made against this operative, in the Roll Defence Dice step of that shooting attack, you can retain one normal save as a critical save.

Slaanesh - Unnatural Agility
Add to this operative’s Movement characteristic.

Tzeentch - Empyreal Guidance
Each time this operative makes a shooting attack, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that shooting attack, you can retain one of your attack dice results of 5+ that is a successful hit as a critical hit.

Undivided - Vicious Reavers
Each time this operative fights in combat or makes a shooting attack, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that combat or shooting attack, if the target is within of it, you can re-roll one of your attack dice.

Favoured of the Dark Gods

Once per Turning Point, when it is your turn to use a Strategic Ploy, if any friendly operatives with this ability are in the killzone, you can use a Strategic Ploy without spending any CPs; that Strategic Ploy must have the same <MARK OF CHAOS> selectable keyword as one friendly operative with this ability. For example, if an operative with this ability has the KHORNE keyword, you could use the Blood for the Blood God Strategic Ploy. If an operative with this ability has the UNDIVIDED keyword, you can use the following Strategic Ploys for this ability instead: Hateful Assault, Malicious Volleys.

Strategic Ploys

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

HATEFUL ASSAULT1CP
Strategic Ploy

MALICIOUS VOLLEYS1CP
Strategic Ploy
Until the end of the Turning Point, each time a friendly LEGIONARY operative is activated, if it does not perform a Fight action during that activation, it can perform two Shoot actions during that activation if a bolt weapon is selected for each of the shooting attacks.

PERPETUAL AGGRESSION1CP
Strategic Ploy
Until the end of the Turning Point, each time after a friendly KHORNE operative fights in combat, if it is not within Engagement Range of an enemy operative, it can make a move following the same rules as a Normal Move action, with the following exceptions:
  • It can only move up to .
  • It can move within Engagement Range of enemy operatives.
  • If it can, it must finish the move within Engagement Range of the closest Visible enemy operative.
  • It can do so even if it’s performed a Normal Move or Charge action during the activation, and vice versa, doing so doesn’t prevent it from subsequently performing a Normal Move or Charge action during that activation in the normal manner.
MUTAGENIC FLESH1CP
Strategic Ploy

PROTECTED BY FATE1CP
Strategic Ploy
Until the end of the Turning Point, each time a shooting attack is made against a friendly TZEENTCH operative, 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.

VETERAN OF THE LONG WAR1CP
Tactical Ploy

UNENDING BLOODSHED1CP
Tactical Ploy
Use this Tactical Ploy when a ready friendly KHORNE operative is incapacitated in combat by an enemy operative. Before that friendly operative is removed from the killzone, select one melee weapon it is equipped with and roll one attack dice as if it is the attacker fighting in combat.

Spec Ops Rules

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

Battle Honours

Each time a LEGIONARY operative gains a Battle Honour, instead of determining one from its specialism, you can determine one from the Legionary 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).

LEGIONARY SPECIALIST
D6Specialism
1Apostle of Chaos: This operative gains the Favoured of the Dark Gods ability.
2Warp-blessed: Improve this operative’s Save characteristic by 1 (to a maximum of 2+).
3Devastating Assault: Melee weapons this operative is equipped with gain the Brutal special rule.

Rare Equipment

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. BRANDS OF THE DAMNED [3EP]

The operative gains the following ability for the battle:

Brands of the Damned: Once per battle, if this operative is in the killzone, you can use a Tactical Ploy without spending any CPs; that Tactical Ploy must have the same <MARK OF CHAOS> selectable keyword as this operative. For example, if this operative has the SLAANESH keyword, you can use the Sickening Captivation Tactical Ploy. If this operative has the UNDIVIDED keyword, you can use the Veteran of the Long War or Command Re-roll Tactical Ploys instead.

2. GAUNTLETS OF VENGEANCE [2EP]

  • It gains the Relentless special rule and the Rending critical hit rule.
  • Add 1 to its Attacks characteristic.

3. PAGES OF SCABRIUS [2EP]

  • Add 1 to its Attacks characteristic.
  • It gains the Relentless special rule.


Strategic Assets

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

UNCLEAN SHRINE

After battle, the kill team presents offerings to the gods at their shrine. Only those who have claimed the most heads gain their favour.

In the Update Experience step of a mission sequence, the friendly operative that incapacitated the most enemy operatives gains 1XP (if more than one operative is tied for the number of most enemy operatives incapacitated, randomly select one of them to gain the XP). You can only add this strategic asset to your base of operations if your dataslate includes at least one operative of Ace rank or higher.

RELICS OF THE HERESY

The kill team holds in its possession relics dating back to the days of the Horus Heresy.

When this strategic asset is added to your base of operations, add two items of rare equipment to your stash. If this strategic asset is removed from your base of operations, remove those items of rare equipment from your stash.

SACRIFICIAL ALTAR

Before battle, the kill team sacrifices victims to the Dark Gods at this sacrificial altar.

Once per battle, in the Resolve Successful Hits step of a combat or shooting attack, you can ignore the damage inflicted on a friendly LEGIONARY operative from one attack dice.


Requisitions

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

MARKED FOR GREATNESS1RP

Some warriors earn the favour of the gods thanks to their murderous deeds.

Purchase this Requisition before or after a game, if your dataslate includes an operative of Ace rank or higher. The operative on your dataslate with the most XP gains the following ability:

Marked For Greatness: Once per battle, when this operative fights in combat or makes a shooting attack, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that combat or shooting attack, if you cannot retain any critical hits, you can select one of your normal hits to be retained as a critical hit instead. After each battle, if another operative on your dataslate has more XP than this operative, this operative loses this ability. Note that other operative does not gain this ability, instead you must purchase this Requisition again.
EYE OF THE GODS1RP

Slaughtering an enemy commander is a sure way to receive the gods' attention.

Purchase this Requisition after a game in which the enemy LEADER operative was incapacitated by a friendly LEGIONARY operative. That friendly operative has all Battle Scars removed (if any) and gains D3 XP. You can only use this Requisition once after each game.
CAST ASIDE0RP

It takes little to earn the gods' ire, or to drive them to boredom.

Purchase this Requisition in the Update Dataslates step of a mission sequence, before rolling to determine a Battle Scar for a friendly LEGIONARY operative. Instead of suffering a Battle Scar, for the next D3 battles this operative is in your kill team, it loses the relevant ability related to its <MARK OF CHAOS> keyword (e.g. a NURGLE operative would lose the Disgusting Vigour ability).

Spec Ops

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

Chaos Blessing
This operative gains one ability from those listed below. The ability it gains depends on its <MARK OF CHAOS> keyword.

Khorne - Wrathful Onslaught
Each time this operative fights in combat, in the Resolve Successful Hits step of that combat, if you did not retain any critical hits, you can strike with one normal hit as if it were a critical hit.

Nurgle - Disgusting Vigour
Each time a shooting attack is made against this operative, in the Roll Defence Dice step of that shooting attack, you can retain one normal save as a critical save.

Slaanesh - Unnatural Agility
Add to this operative’s Movement characteristic.

Tzeentch - Empyreal Guidance
Each time this operative makes a shooting attack, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that shooting attack, you can retain one of your attack dice results of 5+ that is a successful hit as a critical hit.

Undivided - Vicious Reavers
Each time this operative fights in combat or makes a shooting attack, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that combat or shooting attack, if the target is within of it, you can re-roll one of your attack dice.
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.
MALIGNANT AURA1CP
Tactical Ploy
Use this Tactical Ploy during a friendly NURGLE operative’s activation. Until the end of the Turning Point, while an enemy operative is within of that NURGLE operative, subtract 1 from the Defence characteristic of that enemy operative.
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+.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
PERPETUAL AGGRESSION1CP
Strategic Ploy
Until the end of the Turning Point, each time after a friendly KHORNE operative fights in combat, if it is not within Engagement Range of an enemy operative, it can make a move following the same rules as a Normal Move action, with the following exceptions:
  • It can only move up to .
  • It can move within Engagement Range of enemy operatives.
  • If it can, it must finish the move within Engagement Range of the closest Visible enemy operative.
  • It can do so even if it’s performed a Normal Move or Charge action during the activation, and vice versa, doing so doesn’t prevent it from subsequently performing a Normal Move or Charge action during that activation in the normal manner.
UNENDING BLOODSHED1CP
Tactical Ploy
Use this Tactical Ploy when a ready friendly KHORNE operative is incapacitated in combat by an enemy operative. Before that friendly operative is removed from the killzone, select one melee weapon it is equipped with and roll one attack dice as if it is the attacker fighting in combat. If the result is a successful hit, you can immediately strike an enemy operative within Engagement Range of it. Then remove that friendly operative from the killzone as normal.
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD1CP
Strategic Ploy
Until the end of the Turning Point, each time a friendly KHORNE operative fights in combat, in the Resolve Successful Hits step of that combat, if it performed a Charge action during that activation, the first time it strikes, inflict one additional damage.
HATEFUL ASSAULT1CP
Strategic Ploy
Until the end of the Turning Point, each time a friendly LEGIONARY operative is activated, if it does not perform a Shoot action during that activation, it can perform two Fight actions during that activation.
MALICIOUS VOLLEYS1CP
Strategic Ploy
Until the end of the Turning Point, each time a friendly LEGIONARY operative is activated, if it does not perform a Fight action during that activation, it can perform two Shoot actions during that activation if a bolt weapon is selected for each of the shooting attacks. A bolt weapon is a ranged weapon that includes the word ’bolt’ in its name e.g. boltgun, heavy bolter etc.
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).
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.

  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.
  3. 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.
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.
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+.
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.
Favoured of the Dark Gods
Once per Turning Point, when it is your turn to use a Strategic Ploy, if any friendly operatives with this ability are in the killzone, you can use a Strategic Ploy without spending any CPs; that Strategic Ploy must have the same <MARK OF CHAOS> selectable keyword as one friendly operative with this ability. For example, if an operative with this ability has the KHORNE keyword, you could use the Blood for the Blood God Strategic Ploy. If an operative with this ability has the UNDIVIDED keyword, you can use the following Strategic Ploys for this ability instead: Hateful Assault, Malicious Volleys.
SICKENING CAPTIVATION1CP
Tactical Ploy
Use this Tactical Ploy during a friendly SLAANESH operative’s activation. Select one enemy operative Visible to and within of that SLAANESH operative. Subtract 1 from that enemy operative’s APL.
VETERAN OF THE LONG WAR1CP
Tactical Ploy
Use this Tactical Ploy during a friendly LEGIONARY operative’s activation, after it fights in combat or makes a shooting attack. If the target did not lose any wounds as a result of that combat or shooting attack, repeat that combat or shooting attack.
COMMAND RE-ROLL1CP
Tactical Ploy
Use this Tactical Ploy after rolling one of your attack dice or defence dice. You can re-roll that dice.
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.
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.
SACRILEGIOUS MUTILATION
Legionary – 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 Enemy Corpse tokens underneath the operative as close as possible to the centre of its base.
  • The second time a friendly operative performs the Defiled For The Dark Gods action, you score 1VP.
  • The fourth time a friendly operative performs the Defiled For The Dark Gods action, you score 1VP.
Friendly operatives can perform the following mission action:

DEFILED FOR THE DARK GODS1AP

An operative can perform this action while within of one of your Enemy Corpse tokens. An operative cannot perform this action while within of an enemy operative. Remove that Enemy Corpse token from the killzone.
EXECUTION
Seek & Destroy – Tac Op
Reveal this Tac Op at the end of any Turning Point in which more enemy operatives than friendly operatives were incapacitated during that Turning Point.
  • At the end of the battle, if more enemy operatives than friendly operatives were incapacitated during two or more Turning Points, you score 1VP.
  • At the end of the battle, if more enemy operatives than friendly operatives were incapacitated during three or more Turning Points, you score 1VP.
DARK DESECRATION
Legionary – Faction Tac Op 2
Reveal this Tac Op in the Target Reveal step of the first Turning Point. Select one terrain feature that includes any parts with the Heavy trait.
  • If two or more enemy operatives are incapacitated while within of that terrain feature, you score 1 VP.
  • If you achieve the first condition and at the end of the battle the total APL of friendly operatives within of that terrain feature is greater than that of enemy operatives, you score 1VP.
This Tac Op is not in use when the Close Quarters rules are in effect.
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.
PLANT BANNER
Security – Tac Op
After selecting this Tac Op, secretly select one friendly operative to be carrying your Banner token. Reveal this Tac Op when that operative drops your Banner token. When you do, until the end of the battle, the Pick Up action can be performed by friendly operatives upon your Banner token.
  • At the end of the battle, if your Banner token is within of but not wholly within your opponent’s drop zone, you score 1VP.
  • At the end of the battle, if your Banner token is wholly within your opponent’s drop zone, you score 2VP.
Operatives can perform the following mission action:

DESTROY BANNER1AP

An operative can perform this action while within of the centre of an opponent’s Banner token. Remove that Banner token from the killzone. An operative cannot perform this action while within of enemy operatives.
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.
