Shadow Operations: Soulshackle Mission Pack
Below, you will find nine missions from the Shadow Operations: Soulshackle mission pack. These are missions themed around breaching command stations aboard the Gallowdark.
The first four missions have more symmetric mission rules and objectives, meaning both players will be attempting to achieve the same thing. The final five missions are asymmetric, where the Attacker and Defender have different goals to achieve and different strategies to achieve them. In these missions the Attacker must utilise an aggressive strategy to breach the Defender’s prepared position.

The final five missions are asymmetric, where the Attacker and Defender have different goals to achieve and different strategies to achieve them. In these missions the Attacker must utilise an aggressive strategy to breach the Defender’s prepared position.
All of the missions use a specified arrangement of terrain, using the Killzone: Gallowdark and Killzone: Soulshackle terrain sets, each tailored to enhance the mission at hand. The scoring parameters of the mission objectives vary across the mission pack, therefore having an expansive roster will allow you to select the right operatives for the mission. They have been designed to focus on the Breach Point terrain features, offering you a new way to interact with a Close Quarters killzone. They can be used with any of the three ways to play, but have bonuses for those using them as part of a Spec Ops campaign.
To randomly determine a Shadow Operations: Soulshackle mission, one player rolls one D3 to determine one of the tables below, then the other player rolls one D3 to determine the mission from that table.

Killzone: Soulshackle
Killzone: Soulshackle is a supplement to Killzone: Gallowdark. Focusing the battle on key strategic command stations aboard the Gallowdark, it includes Breach Points - allowing certain operatives to create access points in the walls of the space hulk.
Breach Point
A Breach Point terrain feature has two statuses: closed and open. It has two parts - an access point and a breach wall - and their traits depend upon the Breach Point’s status.CLOSED BREACH POINT
Closed
Breach Points begin the battle closed. While a Breach Point is closed:- Its breach wall must be fully within its access point.
- All parts of it have the Heavy and Wall traits.
OPEN BREACH POINT
Open
Once a Breach Point is open, it cannot be closed again during the battle. While a Breach Point is open:- Its breach wall must be removed from the killzone.
- Its access point has the Accessible trait.
Designer’s Note: An open Breach Point’s access point does not provide Cover, nor is it Obscuring. The Walls either side of the access point must be used for this instead.
Opening the Breach Point
The mission will specify which operatives can perform the Plant Charge and Detonate Charge mission actions to change a Breach Point’s status from closed to open.PLANT CHARGE1AP
An operative can perform this action while within of a Breach Point’s breach wall. That side of the breach wall now has a friendly charge planted on it. An operative cannot perform this action while within Engagement Range of an enemy operative, or if that side of the breach wall already has a friendly charge planted on it.
DETONATE CHARGE1AP
An operative can perform this action if the side of a breach wall that has a friendly charge on it is Visible to the operative. That Breach Point is now open; roll one D6 for each operative on the other side and within of its access point (note that the results are cumulative):
In addition, any operative can attempt to change a Breach Point’s status from closed to open by making a shooting attack against its breach wall using a weapon with the AP2 special rule. If it does so:
- On a 3+, that operative suffers D3 mortal wounds.
- On a 5+, subtract 1 from that operative’s APL.
- On a 6, that operative suffers D3 mortal wounds.
In addition, any operative can attempt to change a Breach Point’s status from closed to open by making a shooting attack against its breach wall using a weapon with the AP2 special rule. If it does so:
- In the Select Valid Target step, a breach wall is a valid target for shooting attacks if its Visible to the active operative, and no friendly operatives are both within of that breach wall and on the same side of it as the active operative.
- For any weapons that make an attack against each operative within range of a specified point (e.g. remote mine, melta mine, Blast X special rule, etc.), the breach wall is a valid target.
- In the Roll Attack Dice step, if two or more successful hits are retained, the Breach Point is open.
- At the end of the Roll Attack Dice step, the attack sequence ends.
Console
A Console terrain feature has the Light and Traversable traits.
Hatchway Jammer
A Hatchway Jammer terrain feature has the Traversable trait. It has no other traits, so it does not provide Cover. The mission will specify who sets up the Hatchway Jammers. They must be set up against a Hatchway, paying careful attention to which side as they apply the Jammed trait to it.
Jammed: While a Hatchway is jammed, it cannot be opened unless an operative performs the Operate Hatch action on the same side of the Hatchway as its Hatchway Jammer. If it does so, remove that Hatchway Jammer from the killzone.
Jammed: While a Hatchway is jammed, it cannot be opened unless an operative performs the Operate Hatch action on the same side of the Hatchway as its Hatchway Jammer. If it does so, remove that Hatchway Jammer from the killzone.
Killzone Key Reference
Dataslates and Datacards
Exaction Squad and Hand of the Archon Datacards:
Exaction Squad Narrative Dataslate:
Hand of the Archon Narrative Dataslate:
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.
PLANT CHARGE1AP
An operative can perform this action while within of a Breach Point’s breach wall. That side of the breach wall now has a friendly charge planted on it. An operative cannot perform this action while within Engagement Range of an enemy operative, or if that side of the breach wall already has a friendly charge planted on it.
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.
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.
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.
DETONATE CHARGE1AP
An operative can perform this action if the side of a breach wall that has a friendly charge on it is Visible to the operative. That Breach Point is now open; roll one D6 for each operative on the other side and within of its access point (note that the results are cumulative):
In addition, any operative can attempt to change a Breach Point’s status from closed to open by making a shooting attack against its breach wall using a weapon with the AP2 special rule. If it does so:
- On a 3+, that operative suffers D3 mortal wounds.
- On a 5+, subtract 1 from that operative’s APL.
- On a 6, that operative suffers D3 mortal wounds.
In addition, any operative can attempt to change a Breach Point’s status from closed to open by making a shooting attack against its breach wall using a weapon with the AP2 special rule. If it does so:
- In the Select Valid Target step, a breach wall is a valid target for shooting attacks if its Visible to the active operative, and no friendly operatives are both within of that breach wall and on the same side of it as the active operative.
- For any weapons that make an attack against each operative within range of a specified point (e.g. remote mine, melta mine, Blast X special rule, etc.), the breach wall is a valid target.
- In the Roll Attack Dice step, if two or more successful hits are retained, the Breach Point is open.
- At the end of the Roll Attack Dice step, the attack sequence ends.
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.
ACCESS DORMANT CONSOLE1AP
An operative can perform this action while it controls an online Augur Display (E1) or Control Lectern (E2) Console terrain feature that has not been accessed during this Turning Point. Until the start of the next Turning Point, that terrain feature has been accessed.
RAID DATA1AP
An operative can perform this action while it controls a Control Lectern (E2) or Hololith Dais (E4) Console terrain feature, or the Relay Station (E3) Console terrain feature that is closest to your opponent’s drop zone. In either case, those terrain features cannot have been accessed during this Turning Point. Until the start of the next Turning Point, that terrain feature has been accessed.
TRANSMIT1AP
An operative can perform this action while it controls a Console terrain feature. Your kill team can only perform this action at each Console terrain feature once, other than the Hololith Dais (C4) Console terrain feature, at which it can perform it twice.
RECOVER ARCHIVES1AP
An operative the Attacker controls can perform this action while it controls a Console terrain feature that is the location of archived data (reveal your secret selection of that terrain feature to do so). The Attacker’s operatives can only perform this action at each relevant terrain feature once.
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.
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.
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).
OPERATE HATCH1AP
An operative can perform this action while within of a Hatchway’s access point. Open or close that Hatchway. An operative cannot perform this action while within Engagement Range of an enemy operative, or if that Hatchway is open and an enemy operative is within of its access point.
An operative can perform this action during a Dash or Normal Move action, and any remaining increments of movement can be used after it does so. Note, however, that opening a Hatchway can cause the operative to be within Engagement Range of an enemy operative, in which case that Dash or Normal Move action would immediately end (unless the operative has any rules that allow it to move within Engagement Range of an enemy operative, e.g. FLY).
Designer’s Note: If a Hatchway’s status is changed and operative placement would prevent the hatch from fully opening or closing, temporarily remove the necessary operatives from the killzone, fully open or close the hatch as appropriate, then return the operatives to the killzone as close as possible to their original location. If an operative is within an enemy operative’s Engagement Range before a hatch is opened, it must be returned within Engagement Range of that enemy operative after the hatch is opened.

Designer’s Note: If a Hatchway’s status is changed and operative placement would prevent the hatch from fully opening or closing, temporarily remove the necessary operatives from the killzone, fully open or close the hatch as appropriate, then return the operatives to the killzone as close as possible to their original location. If an operative is within an enemy operative’s Engagement Range before a hatch is opened, it must be returned within Engagement Range of that enemy operative after the hatch is opened.
