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’s not in cover 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 end of the firefight phase (excluding the final Firefight phase). In the Initiative step of the next Strategy phase, after rolling off to decide initiative, you can do one of the following:
- Re-roll your dice.
- Force your opponent to re-roll their dice.
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’s expended and is either not in cover 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 ready 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.
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, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.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.Severe
If you don’t retain any critical successes, you can change one of your normal successes to a critical success. Any rules that take effect as a result of retaining a critical success (e.g. Devastating, Piercing Crits, etc.) still do.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.
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.
AUSPEX SCAN1AP
Until the start of this operative’s next activation or until it’s incapacitated (whichever comes first), whenever an enemy operative is within 8" of this operative, that enemy operative is being scanned. Whenever a friendly KASRKIN operative is shooting an enemy operative that’s being scanned, that enemy operative cannot be obscured
This operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative.
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.
Ceaseless
You can re-roll any of your attack dice results of one result (e.g. results of 2).Dash1AP
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.
Expended
- When you’ve finished with your operative’s activation, that operative is expended. While expended, an operative is not ready.
Fall Back2AP
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.
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.
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).Saturate
The defender cannot retain cover saves.Range x
Only operatives within x of the active operative can be valid targets, e.g. Range 9".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.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+.Skill at Arms

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.

Pick Up Marker1AP
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 Marker1AP
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.
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).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.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.

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.
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, ignore the Piercing weapon rule unless they are 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.
