Q: | Can you clarify what the Team Selection page means when saying ‘Up to three times, instead of selecting one of these operatives, you can select one RATLING ploy to cost you 0CP for the battle’ in reference to BULLGRYN and OGRYN operatives? |
A: | A RATLING kill team always consists of one FIXER and ten additional operatives. Up to three of those additional operatives can be BULLGRYN or OGRYN. For each of those three that is not, you select a different RATLING operative and one ploy to cost you 0CP for the battle. |
Q: | Can you clarify what ‘you cannot use this rule after consecutive enemy activations’ means in the Scarper rule? |
A: | After each enemy operative’s activation, there is a possible opportunity to use Scarper. Whenever you use one of these opportunities to perform a free Dash action with a friendly operative, you must pass on your next opportunity to do so. |
Despite their small stature, Ratlings are fleet of foot, using their speed and agility to outpace and evade their foes.
After each enemy operative’s activation, before the next operative is activated, you can perform a free Dash action with one friendly RATLING operative (excluding BULLGRYN, OGRYN and SNEAK), but it cannot end that move within 3" of an enemy operative unless it’s not visible to every enemy operative when it ends that move.Ratlings spend hours or even days selecting vantage points, ensuring that any position they take affords them effective cover and clear sight lines from which to pick off the advancing foe.
Small of stature and well used to hiding from larger foes, Ratlings use terrain and shadow to their advantage.
It is said that a Ratling can put a bullet through an opponent’s eye socket from more than a thousand yards away.
Ogryns are brutish, muscular soldiers who are most effective when deployed as close combat troops.
Lacking physical strength and fortitude, Ratlings rely upon their reflexes and natural instincts to save themselves from harm.
Their diminutive size and gift for stealth makes Ratlings naturally skilled thieves.
Ratlings can pick out enemies in the thick of even the most chaotic battles. Many soldiers have been saved from certain death by their precise fire.
A sniper is vulnerable once their position has been detected, thus Ratling sharpshooters are constantly sneaking away.
Ratlings have a well-earned reputation for greed. No field kitchen is safe from their thieving hands. It is not uncommon for a Ratling to settle a rumbling belly with a link of freshly liberated protein reconstitution prior to firing a killing shot.
Ratlings are notoriously light-fingered, capable of seizing intel and equipment from under the noses of their foes.
Superstitious by nature, many Ratlings hold back a lucky round with which to target a large or power ful foe, kill an enemy that’s wronged them, or make a particularly tricky shot.
Such is the size of Ogryns that precious little standard-issue armour fits their bulky frames. Most are outfitted instead with makeshift plates forged from thick armour and tank tracks ripped from destroyed vehicles.

The battlefields of the 41st Millennium are plagued by myriad types of mine, from simple frag charges to monofilament web-snares and microplasma charges. Ultimately, all serve a similar, horrible purpose.
Despite their small stature, Ratlings are fleet of foot, using their speed and agility to outpace and evade their foes.
After each enemy operative’s activation, before the next operative is activated, you can perform a free Dash action with one friendly RATLING operative (excluding BULLGRYN, OGRYN and SNEAK), but it cannot end that move within 3" of an enemy operative unless it’s not visible to every enemy operative when it ends that move.Whether stockpiles deliberately set out for warriors to access quickly, or the abandoned munitions of the slain, these caches can prove vital for a swift reload in the heat of battle.
