Blooded
The teeming soldiery of the Astra Militarum are far from immune to the lure of Chaos. Those who have fallen into the embrace of the Dark Gods gather together under the banners of cruel and tyrannical leaders, combining the skills and weapons of the Imperial Guard with the dark influence of the Chaos Gods to murderous effect.

Faction Rules
Blooded
The Blooded seek to earn the favour of malign warp entities by hurling themselves into combat and slaying the most potent foes. Should they die in the attempt, their souls may serve as acceptable sacrifices.
You gain one Blooded token:- In the Ready step of each Strategy phase.
- The first time an enemy operative is incapacitated during each turning point.
- The first time a friendly operative is incapacitated within 6" of an enemy operative during each turning point.
Whenever a friendly BLOODED operative has one of your Blooded tokens, its weapons have the Accurate 1 weapon rule. If that friendly BLOODED operative is under the GAZE OF THE GODS, you can retain one of your normal successes as a result of the Accurate 1 weapon rule as a critical success instead.
Strategy Ploys
GLORY KILL
By bringing down the strongest and most capable of enemies, the Blooded may provide a worthy offering to the Ruinous Powers.
Select one enemy operative visible to a friendly BLOODED operative. Until the end of the turning point, whenever a friendly BLOODED operative is shooting against, fighting against or retaliating against that enemy operative, that shooting, fighting or retaliating operative’s weapons have the Ceaseless weapon rule, or Relentless if it has one of your Blooded tokens.
RECKLESS ASPIRANT
No coward can earn glory. The Blooded are willing to risk life and limb in pursuit of malefic warp powers.
Whenever a friendly BLOODED operative that’s wholly within your opponent’s territory and doesn’t have one of your Blooded tokens is shooting or fighting, its weapons have the Accurate 1 weapon rule.
Whenever a friendly BLOODED operative that has one of your Blooded tokens is wholly within your opponent’s territory, its weapons have the Punishing weapon rule.
Whenever a friendly BLOODED operative that has one of your Blooded tokens is wholly within your opponent’s territory, its weapons have the Punishing weapon rule.
MALEVOLENT GRIT
Those that have earned the favour of the Dark Gods of Chaos may draw upon the warp to predict and avoid the bullets of their foes.
Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly BLOODED operative that has one of your Blooded tokens or is wholly within your opponent’s territory, you can re-roll one of your defence dice.
BITTER DEMISE
Consumed by hatred, the Blooded spit, curse and lash out as they die, screaming aggrieved words of heresy as they land a final strike upon the foe.
Whenever a friendly BLOODED operative is incapacitated, before it’s removed from the killzone, roll one D3: on a 3 (or 2+ if that friendly operative has one of your Blooded tokens), inflict damage equal to the result on one enemy operative visible to and within 2" of that friendly operative.
Firefight Ploys
CALLOUS DISREGARD
Pity is a trait of the weak. The Blooded will gladly turn their guns upon their own kin if doing so will ensure the destruction of an enemy.
Use this firefight ploy when a friendly BLOODED operative performs the Shoot action and you’re selecting a valid target. Having other friendly BLOODED operatives within an enemy operative’s control range doesn’t prevent that enemy operative from being selected. Until the end of that action, whenever you discard an attack dice as a fail, inflict damage equal to the dice result on one friendly operative of your choice within control range of the target.
MOMENT OF REPUTE
When infused with a portion of the Dark Gods’ power, the Blooded are lent infernal speed and aggression.
Use this firefight ploy during the activation of a friendly BLOODED operative that’s under the GAZE OF THE GODS, before or after it performs an action. Until the end of that operative’s activation, add 1 to its APL stat.
REWARD EARNED
The surest way to earn the attention of the Ruinous Powers is to draw blood in their name.
Use this firefight ploy when an enemy operative is incapacitated by a friendly BLOODED operative within 2" of it that has one of your Blooded tokens. You gain one Blooded token.
DARK FAVOUR
Those who have spilled the blood of the foe and earned the favour of their infernal patron may be spared from death, as long as another pays the price in their stead.
Use this firefight ploy when a friendly BLOODED operative that has one of your Blooded tokens is selected as the valid target of a Shoot action or to fight against during the Fight action. Select one other friendly BLOODED operative visible to and within 3" of that first friendly operative to become the valid target or to be fought against (as appropriate) instead (even if it wouldn’t normally be valid for this). If it’s the Fight action, treat that other operative as being within the fighting operative’s control range for the duration of that action. If it’s the Shoot action, that other operative is only in cover or obscured if the original target was.
This ploy has no effect if it’s the Shoot action and the ranged weapon has the Blast or Torrent weapon rule.
This ploy has no effect if it’s the Shoot action and the ranged weapon has the Blast or Torrent weapon rule.
Faction Equipment
CHAOS SIGIL
The disquieting sigils carried by the Blooded bend reality and thin the veil between realspace and the ever-shifting tides of the warp.
The Reward Earned firefight ploy costs you 0CP.
SINISTER TROPHIES
The Blooded adorn their armour with severed heads affixed to rusty spikes, cloaks and tabards of flayed skin, and all manner of other grisly trophies hacked from the corpses of their victims.
Whenever an enemy operative is shooting against, fighting against or retaliating against a friendly BLOODED operative that has one of your Blooded tokens and is within 2" of it, your opponent cannot re-roll their attack dice results of 1.
SYMBOLS OF BLOODY WORSHIP
Desperate to garner the favour of malefic warp entities, the Blooded will daub their armour with bloody runes and take risks to be imbued with malevolent power.
Whenever a friendly BLOODED operative ends an action, if it wasn’t incapacitated but inflicted damage on any enemy operatives during that action, it regains 1 lost wound.
WICKED BLADES
The Ruinous Powers respect nothing so much as the lethal arena of close combat, and so the Blooded seek to plunge their wickedly sharp weapons into the flesh of their foes.
Add 1 to both Dmg stats of each friendly BLOODED operative’s bayonet, bayonet & shield and improvised blade for the battle.

Damage
When damage is inflicted on an operative, reduce their wounds by that amount. An operative’s starting number of wounds is determined by its Wounds stat (see datacards). If an operative’s wounds are reduced to 0 or less, it’s incapacitated, then removed from the killzone. Some rules allow an incapacitated operative to perform a free action before being removed from the killzone. Such an operative cannot perform more than one free action (excluding Place Marker) in this instance, and that operative’s player decides the order of any of its rules that occur before it’s removed from the killzone (taking precedence over the player with initiative deciding).While an operative has fewer than its starting wounds remaining, it’s wounded. While it has fewer than half its starting wounds remaining, it’s also injured. Subtract 2" from the Move stat of injured operatives and worsen the Hit stat of their weapons by 1.
Keep track of each operative’s remaining wounds with dice, tokens or by writing it down.
‘Incapacitated’ and ‘removed from the killzone’ are separate. Some rules take effect when an operative is incapacitated, but before it’s removed.
‘Incapacitated’ and ‘removed from the killzone’ are separate. Some rules take effect when an operative is incapacitated, but before it’s removed.
Accurate x
You can retain up to x attack dice as normal successes without rolling them. If a weapon has more than one instance of Accurate x, you can treat it as one instance of Accurate 2 instead (this takes precedence over x rules).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.
Ceaseless
You can re-roll any of your attack dice results of one result (e.g. results of 2).Relentless
You can re-roll any of your attack dice.Blooded
The Blooded seek to earn the favour of malign warp entities by hurling themselves into combat and slaying the most potent foes. Should they die in the attempt, their souls may serve as acceptable sacrifices.
You gain one Blooded token:- In the Ready step of each Strategy phase.
- The first time an enemy operative is incapacitated during each turning point.
- The first time a friendly operative is incapacitated within 6" of an enemy operative during each turning point.
Whenever a friendly BLOODED operative has one of your Blooded tokens, its weapons have the Accurate 1 weapon rule. If that friendly BLOODED operative is under the GAZE OF THE GODS, you can retain one of your normal successes as a result of the Accurate 1 weapon rule as a critical success instead.
Punishing
If you retain any critical successes, you can retain one of your fails as a normal success instead of discarding it.Shoot1AP
Shoot with the active operative by following the sequence below. The active operative’s player is the attacker. The selected enemy operative’s player is the defender.
An operative cannot perform this action while it has a Conceal order, or while within control range of an enemy operative.
|
Charge1AP
The same as the Reposition action, except the active operative can move an additional 2".
It can move, and must finish the move, within control range of an enemy operative. If it moves within control range of an enemy operative that no other friendly operatives are within control range of, it cannot leave that operative’s control range.
An operative cannot perform this action while it has a Conceal order, if it’s already within control range of an enemy operative, or during the same activation in which it performed the Reposition, Dash or Fall Back action.
Counteract
When you would activate a ready friendly operative, if all your operatives are expended but your opponent still has ready operatives, you can select an expended friendly operative with an Engage order to perform a 1AP action (excluding Guard) for free. Each operative can only counteract once per turning point. That operative cannot move more than 2", or must be set up wholly within 2" if it’s removed and set up again, while counteracting (this is not a change to its Move stat, and takes precedence over all other rules). Counteracting is optional, so you can choose not to. In either case, activation alternates back to your opponent afterwards.Counteracting isn’t an activation, it’s instead of activating. This difference is important; for instance, it means action restrictions won't apply.
|
Valid Target
Some rules require you to select a valid target for an operative. This is most common when an operative is shooting, but some rare rules require it too.
|
Control Range
Many rules relate to control range such as moving, fighting and using cover. Something is within an operative’s control range if it’s visible to and within 1" of that operative.Control range between operatives is mutual, therefore operatives are within each other’s control range if one of them is visible to and within 1" of the other.
The terrain is within both operative B and C’s control range.
Because of the terrain, operative B is not visible to operative C, and vice versa, therefore they are not within each other’s control range.
Imagine control range as an area of interaction the operative has with things close to it.
Fight1AP
Fight with the active operative by following the sequence below. The active operative’s player is the attacker. The selected enemy operative’s player is the defender.
An operative cannot perform this action unless an enemy operative is within its control range.
Blast x
The target you select is the primary target. After shooting the primary target, shoot with this weapon against each secondary target in an order of your choice (roll each sequence separately). Secondary targets are other operatives visible to and within x of the primary target, e.g. Blast 2" (they are all valid targets, regardless of a Conceal order). Secondary targets are in cover and obscured if the primary target was.Torrent x
Select a valid target as normal as the primary target, then select any number of other valid targets within x of the first valid target as secondary targets, e.g. Torrent 2". Shoot with this weapon against all of them in an order of your choice (roll each sequence separately).REWARD EARNED
The surest way to earn the attention of the Ruinous Powers is to draw blood in their name.
Use this firefight ploy when an enemy operative is incapacitated by a friendly BLOODED operative within 2" of it that has one of your Blooded tokens. You gain one Blooded token.
Range x
Only operatives within x of the active operative can be valid targets, e.g. Range 9".Piercing x
The defender collects x less defence dice, e.g. Piercing 1. If the rule is Piercing Crits x, this only comes into effect if you retain any critical successes.Hot
After an operative uses this weapon, roll one D6. If the result is less than the weapon’s Hit stat, inflict damage on that operative equal to the result multiplied by two. If it’s used multiple times in one action (e.g. Blast), still only roll one D6.Lethal x+
Your successes equal to or greater than x are critical successes, e.g. Lethal 5+.The BLOODED keyword is used in the following Blooded datacards:
The CHAOS keyword is used in the following Blooded datacards:
Devastating x
Each retained critical success immediately inflicts x damage on the operative this weapon is being used against, e.g. Devastating 3. If the rule starts with a distance (e.g. 1" Devastating x), inflict x damage on that operative and each other operative visible to and within that distance of it. Note that success isn’t discarded after doing so — it can still be resolved later in the sequence.Limited x
After an operative uses this weapon a number of times in the battle equal to x, they no longer have it. If it’s used multiple times in one action (e.g. Blast), treat this as one use.Heavy
An operative cannot use this weapon in an activation or counteraction in which it moved, and it cannot move in an activation or counteraction in which it used this weapon. If the rule is Heavy (x only), where x is a move action, only that move is allowed, e.g. Heavy (Dash only). This weapon rule has no effect on preventing the Guard action.Reposition1AP
Move the active operative up to its Move stat to a location it can be placed. This must be done in one or more straight-line increments, and increments are always rounded up to the nearest inch.
It cannot move within control range of an enemy operative, unless one or more other friendly operatives are already within control range of that enemy operative, in which case it can move within control range of that enemy operative but cannot finish the move there.
An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or during the same activation in which it performed the Fall Back or Charge action.
Saturate
The defender cannot retain cover saves.Frag grenade
