Faction Rules

Skill at Arms

The Kasrkin go where they are needed. Battle-hardened, uncompromising and equipped with the best weapons available, these elites pursue their objectives with professionalism, hard-won experience and rigid determination.

STRATEGIC GAMBIT. Select a SKILL AT ARMS for friendly KASRKIN operatives to have until the Ready step of the next Strategy phase.

Light ’Em Up
Establishing overlapping fields of fire as they advance, the Kasrkin react to any enemy movement with a lethal volley of fire.
Friendly KASRKIN operatives’ ranged weapons have the Severe weapon rule.

Strike Fast
Kasrkin pride themselves upon their physical fitness and can cover ground swiftly, even when carrying heavy combat gear.
Whenever a friendly KASRKIN operative is performing the Reposition action, add 1" to its Move stat.

Ice In Your Veins
All Cadians are subjected to a lifetime of war. Those chosen to join the ranks of the elite Kasrkin are amongst the hardiest.
Whenever a friendly KASRKIN operative is fighting or retaliating, or an operative is shooting it, the first time an attack dice inflicts Normal Dmg of 3 or more on this operative during that sequence, that dice inflicts 1 less damage on it.

For Cadia!
All Kasrkin strive to uphold the honour of their dead homeworld.
Add 1 to the Atk stat of friendly KASRKIN operatives’ melee weapons (to a maximum of 4). Whenever a friendly KASRKIN operative is fighting, the first time you strike during that sequence, inflict 1 additional damage.

Rapid Fire

Ruthlessly drilled and murderously efficient, Kasrkin lay down hails of high-powered fire against the foe.

Each friendly KASRKIN operative that doesn’t perform an action in which it moves during its activation can perform two Shoot actions (excluding Guard) during that activation, but a bolt pistol, hot-shot lasgun or hot-shot laspistol must be selected for both of those actions.

Strategy Ploys

ELIMINATION PATTERN

Having already outmanoeuvred the foe, the Kasrkin attempt to fell their target in a single volley.

Whenever a friendly KASRKIN operative is shooting with a hot-shot weapon against an operative that cannot retain any cover saves or is being scanned (see RECON-TROOPER), that weapon has the Piercing Crits 1 weapon rule, or Piercing 1 instead if it’s a hot-shot volley gun.
ENGAGE FROM COVER

Kasrkin are used to being outnumbered and outgunned, using cover to avoid incoming fire as they engage.

Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly KASRKIN operative that’s in cover, you can re-roll one of your defence dice.
CLEARANCE SWEEP

The Kasrkin advance steadily towards their objectives, clearing the battlefield of enemies quadrant by quadrant.

Place your Clearance Sweep marker in the killzone. Whenever a friendly KASRKIN operative within 5" horizontally of that marker is shooting an operative also within 5" horizontally of that marker, that friendly operative’s weapons have the Ceaseless weapon rule. In the Ready step of the next Strategy phase, remove that marker.
RELOCATE

The Kasrkin are always on the move, advancing swiftly across the battlefield to take up new firing positions.

Select one friendly KASRKIN operative that’s more than 3" from enemy operatives. That operative, and each other friendly KASRKIN operative that’s both within 3" of that operative and more than 3" from enemy operatives, can immediately perform a free Dash action in an order of your choice. You cannot use this ploy during the first turning point.

Firefight Ploys

SEIZE THE INITIATIVE

Kasrkin squads are bold and decisive, acting with speed and clarity even in the confusion of battle.

Use this firefight ploy at the start of the Firefight phase. One friendly KASRKIN operative can immediately perform a 1AP action for free, but it cannot move during that action. You cannot use this ploy if you’re the player with initiative.
NEUTRALISE TARGET

Designating an exposed enemy operative as a priority target, this operative levels their weapon and fires a volley of rounds.

Use this firefight ploy after rolling your attack dice for a friendly KASRKIN operative, if it’s shooting an operative that either cannot retain any cover saves or is being scanned (see RECON-TROOPER). You can re-roll any of your attack dice.
COVER RETREAT

Should a Kasrkin soldier need to retreat, their allies may lay down a withering barrage of covering fire.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly KASRKIN operative performs the Fall Back action while visible to and within 6" of another friendly KASRKIN operative that’s not within control range of enemy operatives. After that friendly operative has finished moving, but before that Fall Back action ends, that other friendly operative can immediately perform a free Shoot action (you can change its order to Engage to do so).
GIVE NO GROUND

Hardened by a lifetime spent defending the Imperium from the horrific denizens of the Eye of Terror, the Kasrkin demonstrate unwavering discipline in the face of the enemy.

Use this firefight ploy during a friendly KASRKIN operative’s activation, or at the end of the Firefight phase. Select one of your mission markers or an objective marker. Until the end of that activation or until the start of the next turning point respectively, if the total APL of friendly KASRKIN operatives that contest that marker is 2, and the total APL of enemy operatives that contest it is the same, friendly KASRKIN operatives control that marker.

Faction Equipment

FOREGRIP

Fitted under the barrel of the gun, this foregrip helps stabilise the bearer’s weapon, improving its handling at close range.

Whenever a friendly KASRKIN operative is shooting an operative within 3" of it, ranged weapons on its datacard (excluding weapons that include ‘pistol’ in their name, e.g. hot-shot laspistol, all profiles of a plasma pistol, etc.) have the Accurate 1 weapon rule.
RELICS OF CADIA

Small personal effects remind the Kasrkin of their homeworld, those they have lost, and that which they fight for.

Once per turning point, when a friendly KASRKIN operative is shooting, fighting or retaliating, if you roll two or more fails, you can discard one of them to retain another as a normal success instead.
LONG-RANGE SCOPE

This weapon is fitted with a marksman’s scope, enabling great accuracy even at long range.

Whenever a friendly KASRKIN operative is shooting an operative more than 6" from it, that friendly operative’s hot-shot weapons have the Saturate weapon rule.
COMBAT DAGGERS

When close combat is required, the Kasrkin turn to their combat daggers in order to silence the enemy.

Friendly KASRKIN operatives have the following melee weapon:

TACTICAL COMMAND0AP

Select one friendly KASRKIN operative, then select one SKILL AT ARMS for that operative to have until the Ready step of the next Strategy phase. This can be in addition to any SKILL AT ARMS it already has, but they cannot be the same.

Alternatively, instead of resolving the above effect, if your Clearance Sweep marker is in the killzone, you can remove it and place it again.

This operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative.
Veteran Leadership: Whenever this operative is in the killzone and you use the SKILL AT ARMS STRATEGIC GAMBIT, you can select one additional SKILL AT ARMS but they cannot be the same.

Medic!: The first time during each turning point that another friendly KASRKIN operative would be incapacitated while visible to and within 3" of this operative, you can use this rule, providing neither this nor that operative is within control range of an enemy operative. If you do, that friendly operative isn’t incapacitated, has 1 wound remaining and cannot be incapacitated for the remainder of the action. After that action, that friendly operative can immediately perform a free Dash action, but must end that move within this operative’s control range. Subtract 1 from this and that operative’s APL stats until the end of their next activations respectively, and if this rule was used during that friendly operative’s activation, that activation ends. You cannot use this rule if this operative is incapacitated, or if it’s a Shoot action and this operative would be a primary or secondary target.

MEDIKIT0AP

Select one friendly KASRKIN operative within this operative’s control range to regain up to 2D3 lost wounds. It cannot be an operative that the Medic! rule was used on during this turning point.

This operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative.

Melta Mine: This operative is carrying your Melta Mine marker. It can perform the Pick Up Marker action on that marker, and whenever it performs the Place Marker action on that marker, it can immediately perform a free Dash action. That marker cannot be placed within an enemy operative’s control range (if this operative is incapacitated while carrying that marker and that marker cannot be placed, it’s removed with this operative).
Proximity Mine: The first time your Melta Mine marker is within another operative’s control range, remove that marker and inflict 2D6+3 damage on that operative; if it isn’t incapacitated, end its action (if any), even if that action’s effects aren’t fulfilled. If it cannot be placed, move it the minimum amount to do so. Note that this operative is ignored for these effects (i.e. it cannot set it off or take damage from that marker).
Blast Padding: Whenever an operative is shooting this operative with a weapon that has the Blast or Torrent weapon rule (excluding weapons that have a sweeping profile), you can re-roll one of your defence dice. In addition, this operative isn’t affected by the x" Devastating x weapon rule (i.e. Devastating with a distance) unless they are the target during that sequence.

BATTLE COMMS1AP

Select one other friendly KASRKIN operative. Until the end of that operative’s next activation, add 1 to its APL stat (to a maximum of 3 after all APL stat changes have been totalled).

This operative can perform this action twice during its activation, but cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative.

 ⌀28mm
Severe
If you don’t retain any critical successes, you can change one of your normal successes to a critical success. The Devastating and Piercing Crits weapon rules still take effect, but Punishing and Rending don’t..

Reposition
1AP

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.

Shoot
1AP

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.

Guard
1AP

The operative goes on guard until any of the following are true:
  • It performs any action, moves or is set up.
  • An enemy operative ends an action within its control range and you don’t interrupt that activation (see On Guard).
  • Its order is changed.
  • It’s the start of the next turning point.

This action is treated as a Shoot action. An operative cannot perform this action while it has a Conceal order, or while it’s within control range of an enemy operative.

Dash
1AP

The same as the Reposition action, except don’t use the active operative’s Move stat — it can move up to 3" instead. In addition, it cannot climb during this move, but it can drop and jump.

An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or during the same activation in which it performed the Charge action.

Fall Back
2AP

The same as the Reposition action, except the active operative can move within control range of an enemy operative, but cannot finish the move there.

An operative cannot perform this action unless an enemy operative is within its control range. It cannot perform this action during the same activation in which it performed the Reposition or Charge action.
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.
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.

Operatives A and B are within each other’s control range.

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.
Engage: The operative can perform actions as normal and can counteract.
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+.

Add 1 to the Atk stat of friendly KASRKIN operatives’ melee weapons (to a maximum of 4). Whenever a friendly KASRKIN operative is fighting, the first time you strike during that sequence, inflict 1 additional damage.
CLEARANCE SWEEP

The Kasrkin advance steadily towards their objectives, clearing the battlefield of enemies quadrant by quadrant.

Place your Clearance Sweep marker in the killzone. Whenever a friendly KASRKIN operative within 5" horizontally of that marker is shooting an operative also within 5" horizontally of that marker, that friendly operative’s weapons have the Ceaseless weapon rule. In the Ready step of the next Strategy phase, remove that marker.

The KASRKIN keyword is used in the following Kasrkin datacards:

Datacards

The ASTRA MILITARUM keyword is used in the following Kasrkin datacards:

Datacards
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.

Pick Up Marker
1AP

Remove a marker the active operative controls that the Pick Up Marker action can be performed upon. That operative is now carrying, contesting and controlling that marker.

An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or while it’s already carrying a marker.

Place Marker
1AP

Place a marker the active operative is carrying within its control range.

If an operative carrying a marker is incapacitated, it must perform this action before being removed from the killzone, but does so for 0AP. This takes precedence over all rules that prevent it from doing so.

An operative cannot perform this action during the same activation in which it already performed the Pick Up Marker action (unless incapacitated).
Saturate
The defender cannot retain cover saves.
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, but not within control range of friendly operatives, 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).
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.
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.
RELOCATE

The Kasrkin are always on the move, advancing swiftly across the battlefield to take up new firing positions.

Select one friendly KASRKIN operative that’s more than 3" from enemy operatives. That operative, and each other friendly KASRKIN operative that’s both within 3" of that operative and more than 3" from enemy operatives, can immediately perform a free Dash action in an order of your choice. You cannot use this ploy during the first turning point.
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.
Silent
An operative can perform the Shoot action with this weapon while it has a Conceal order.
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.
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.

Operatives A and B are within each other’s control range.

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.

SMOKE GRENADE 1AP

Place one of your Smoke Grenade markers within 6" of this operative. It must be visible to this operative, or on Vantage terrain of a terrain feature that’s visible to this operative. The marker creates an area of smoke 1" horizontally and unlimited height vertically from (but not below) it.

While an operative is wholly within an area of smoke, it’s obscured to operatives more than 2" from it, and vice versa. In addition, whenever an operative is shooting an enemy operative wholly within an area of smoke, weapons with the Piercing 2 or Piercing Crits 2 weapon rule have the Piercing 1 or Piercing Crits 1 weapon rule (respectively) instead, unless they’re within 2" of each other

In the Ready step of the next Strategy phase, roll one D3. Remove that Smoke Grenade marker after a number of activations equal to that D3 have been completed or at the end of the turning point (whichever comes first).

An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or if you have reached the total number of times your kill team can perform it.

STUN GRENADE 1AP

Select one enemy operative visible to and within 6" of this operative. That operative and each other operative within 1" of it takes a stun test. For an operative to take a stun test, roll one D6: on a 3+, subtract 1 from its APL stat until the end of its next activation.

An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or if you have reached the total number of times your kill team can perform it.
