SCENARIO RULES

SPECIAL RULES

Hatchway Jammers: Randomly determine the jammed hatchways during deployment, or construct a deck to determine jammed status on first opening attempt.

Infiltration: Deploy detection tokens on randomly determined objectives. Move tokens directly towards the nearest Acolyte Retinue operative.

Priority Action: Enemies will perform this mission action in preference to any other action.

Priority Target: Enemies will make Charge, Fight and Shoot actions against this target in preference to others regardless of cover and distance.

Sentries: Roll a D6 for each Sentry move:

1-2: Move Sentry directly towards the nearest Acolyte Retinue operative.
3: Move in a random direction.
4: Pass.
5-6: Movement controlled by Acolyte player.

ACOLYTE RETINUE OPERATIVES

Select your Retinue from the following options and tally up your Deployment Value (DV).

Operative	DV
Acolytes and Followers	As listed
1 EP per DV of Acolytes and Followers	Free
Each 10 levels of Progression across Acolyte Retinue	1
4 additional EP	1
Auxiliary: Planetary Militia, armed with one of the following options: Autogun, Gun butt Shotgun, Gun butt Autopistol, Combat blade	1
Auxiliary: Planetary Militia, armed with a Gun butt and one of the following options: Boltgun Flamer Grenade launcher Heavy stubber	2

WARGEAR & EQUIPMENT

Each player may equip their Acolyte and Followers from the Basic Wargear List and their Stash up to each operative’s Wargear Capacity, and may equip their Acolytes and Followers from the Basic Equipment List and their Stash to a total EP equivalent to the total DV of Acolyte and Follower operatives plus any additional EP purchased.

DIFFICULTY MULTIPLIER

Select a Difficulty Multiplier to increase or decrease the challenge. This will alter the opposing forces and the experience gained.

Easy: 1x; Normal: 1,5x; Hard: 2x

ENEMY OPERATIVES

Select the opposing force and its constituent operatives from the tables in the Bestiary, to a DV equivalent to your Acolyte Retinue DV multiplied by your Difficulty Multiplier.

Unless otherwise specified, deploy enemy operatives evenly across the deployment zone, in cover and with Engage orders.

Whenever a SPECIALIST operative is mentioned in the Enemy Operatives section of scenario description, either pick a random operative from corresponding faction, that is not LEADER or WARRIOR, or the Campaign Master decides which exact enemy operative should be selected for deployment.

MISSION EXPERIENCE

Acolytes gain experience for the following collective achievements:

+x XP, equal to the Deployment Value of enemies slain.
+y XP, equal to VP achieved in the Scenario multiplied by the difficulty multiplier

Followers gain experience as normal.

Designer’s Note: Kill Team functions best with 5-15 operatives on each side and the stock scenarios are balanced accordingly. A DV of 10-20 is appropriate, with higher difficulty multipliers working better with lower Acolyte DV due to increased quantity of enemies.

ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS

Following table may be used by master to add some permanent environmental effects into the killzone. It is determined by a roll of D66. D66 is a roll of two D6, pre-defined which of them is Tens and which is Ones, each rolled separately, and the result is sum of the Tens dice multiplied by 10 and the Ones dice.

D66	Result
11-16	Cache: Place a Loot token in the enemy deployment zone, within 1” of a random piece of large/heavy terrain. Acolyte operatives within control range of the token may perform the Interact action. If they do so, remove the Loot token and draw from the standard Loot deck.
21-46	No special rules.
51-55	Low Light: Apply a -1 hit modifier to all shooting attacks at a range greater than 6".
56	Acid Rain: During the scenario, all operatives must discard one Defense dice when being shot.
61	Pitch Black: During each Turning Point, the first time each operative makes a shooting attack, it gains a Light token until the end of the turning point. For an operative to be Visible, it must have a Light token or be within 6" of the active operative.
62	Sandstorm: After setting up the scenario, randomly determine one board edge to be the sandstorm board edge. Each time an operative fights in combat or makes a shooting attack, unless it is in shelter, it is treated as being injured for that combat or shooting attack, regardless of any rules that say it cannot be injured. Each time an operative performs an action in which it moves, unless it starts that move within shelter, it is treated as being injured for that move, regardless of any rules that say it cannot be injured. To determine if an operative is in shelter, draw imaginary perpendicular lines 1 mm wide from the sandstorm board edge to the operative’s base. If the operative is within 1" of a point at which one or more of those lines crosses a terrain feature that provides Cover, it is within shelter. Note that an operative on a Vantage Point cannot use the floor of a Vantage Point as Cover. Where enemies would prefer cover, treat them as preferring shelter instead.
63	Subsidence: Each time an operative performs an action in which it moves during its activation, if it does not finish that move within 1” of a terrain feature, roll one D6: on a 1-3, that operative is treated as being injured until the end of its activation, regardless of any rules that say it cannot be injured. Where enemies would prefer cover, treat them as preferring stability instead.
64	Thin Atmosphere: Operatives cannot perform Dash actions. Operatives cannot move more than their Move stat for Charge actions. Subtract 2" from the Range of weapons that have both the Range and Torrent special rules e.g. Range 8" becomes Range 6".
65	Unstable Structure: Subtract 1" from the Move stat of operatives. In the Ready Operatives step of the second turning point, roll one D6: on a 1-4, repeat this process in the subsequent turning point; on a 5+, the structure subsides (note that the structure can only subside once). If the structure subsides, roll one D6 for each operative: if the result is greater than their unmodified APL, subtract 1 from their APL.
66	Local Wildlife: Select one Xenos threat from the following list: Ambull and D6 Borewyrms; Catachan Devil and D6 Devilspawn; Clawed Fiend; Enslaver and D6 Enslaved Crew; D6 Genestealers. Place them on a random non-deployment board midpoint or in the centre of the board. Play them as a third force, hostile to both sides, via the standard decision trees but ignoring objectives, mission actions and target locations.

INVESTIGATION TABLE

Roll a D10. Unless otherwise specified, you may choose to perform one Investigation roll ahead of each scenario. Only one roll can be performed regardless of how many players form the Acolyte Retinue, except as specified by the Spy Network strategic asset.

EVENT TABLE

At the end of each Turning Point roll a D10 and apply one Event.

1	Emperor's Light!	The friendly operative with the fewest wounds remaining is emboldened by faith. Add 1 APL for their next activation.
2	Tactical Insight	Gain one additional CP at the beginning of the next turn.
3	Opportunistic Strike	One friendly operative may immediately make a free Fight or Shoot action.
4	Enemy Reinforcements	Randomly determine 1DV of additional enemies to deploy on a random board edge midpoint or corner.
5	Enemy Reinforcements	Randomly determine 2DV of additional enemies to deploy on a random board edge midpoint or corner.
6	Collapse	One major terrain piece or board section, determined randomly, collapses. Immediately make a shooting attack against any operative within 1" of the terrain piece or within the board section using the following profile: Atk 4 Hit 2+ Dmg 1/2.
7	Enemy Reinforcements	Randomly determine 3DV of additional enemies to deploy on a random board edge midpoint or corner.
8	Overheat!	Randomly select one ranged weapon on one operative. That weapon gains the Hot weapon rule until it is not used for a full activation.
9	Local Contact	You may select 1 DV of additional Auxiliaries in the upcoming scenario.
10	Terror!	The friendly operative with the fewest wounds remaining is overcome with fear. Subtract 1 APL for their next activation.

Where a Booby Trap is triggered, the operative immediately suffers D3 damage.

Where an item of equipment is discovered, the operative who discovered it is considered to be carrying that item.

Basic Equipment may be immediately equipped. If it is not used in the scenario in which it was found and the operative carrying it survives, it may be equipped in the following scenario at no EP cost. If it is not equipped, your Master assigns it elsewhere.

Rare Equipment must be removed from the field for further examination. If the operative carrying it survives the scenario, the player may roll on the Rare Equipment table of their choice as normal.

Per the Pick Up Marker action rules, items may be dropped within 1" at no cost and picked up within 1" for 1AP. Additionally, items may be transferred to a friendly operative within 2" for 1AP. Note that this means Place Marker action is obsolete with items - they're small enough to be just carelessly dropped.
