Malign Scripture : Once per battle, this operative can perform two Manifest Psychic Power actions during its activation.

Legionnaires come with an interesting set of equipment with half their options being limited to one per team, and another four being one per team simply due to their usage requirements. He’s pretty good in melee for a psyker, with a Fell Dagger that causes 2 mortal wounds to the target on every critical hit, but of course, the psychic powers are what the Acolyte is all about: Fireblast is a shooting attack that does Blast damage, has the No Cover special rule and does 1 mortal wound to each enemy next to the target for every critical hit. Some Legionary operatives have the ability Favoured of the Gods, you can use one Strategic Ploy with the same Chaos God affiliation as this operative’s Mark of Chaos without paying a command point.

In the Update Experience step of a mission sequence, the friendly operative that incapacitated the most enemy operatives gains 1XP (if more than one operative is tied for the number of most enemy operatives incapacitated, randomly select one of them to gain the XP).

Keep in mind this does not prevent you from performing the Dash Action, but instead just limits the total movement that the operative performs. This is a standard frag grenade, doing Blast damage in an area with the Indirect special rule, ignoring cover when determining valid targets.The change to the former of these two ploys will likely change the blessings we see players take going forward. Horrifying Dismemberment lets you subtract 1 from the Action Point Limit of a nearby enemy operative every time the Shrivetalon incapacitates an enemy operative. Roster Size – Since blessings are chosen at roster creation players will have to make a choice on what to leave at home.

Sickening Captivation – The somewhat less useful version of mutability and change that allows a Slaanesh operative to reduce the APL of a single enemy within ■ by 1. For one Turning Point, each friendly Khorne-marked operative can make a move up to Square/3 inches after fighting in combat, and this move can be made into Engagement Range of enemy operatives and must end up within such range of an enemy operative if possible. Malefic Blade [2 EP] – Literally the only piece of gear not limited to one operative, but fortunately the best of the lot. If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you’re just the right type of bitter madman to consider a Traitor Marines Kill Team.Malign Scripture [2 EP] – Allows an operative to perform two Psychic Actions once per game, which means…YOU GUESSED IT! Each time an enemy operative would perform a mission action or the Pick Up action, if that enemy operative is within of your Grisly Mark token, one additional action point must be subtracted to perform that action. Icon of Chaos : While this operative is in the killzone, friendly LEGIONARY operatives cannot be injured. This counts whether they’re the attacker or not giving operatives significant movement potential if your opponent isn’t careful. Operatives may then perform the Defiled for the Dark Gods (1 AP) action while within ▲ of the Token and more than ⬤ from enemy operatives, the token is then removed.

When you’re close enough to see the fear in the eyes of an enemy operative, it’s time to take the kid gloves off. The token is then removed, and the second and fourth time a friendly operative performs this action, you score a Victory Point. Another situation where the Icon-Bearer may be chosen is when you wish to play more aggressively with your Leader, while keeping the Icon-Bearer in a safe position so you may benefit from Favored by the Gods longer. The upside to Chaos Space Marines is that you get some sweet modeling opportunities and you aren’t playing a bunch of loyalist dorks. Slaanesh grants Unnatural Agility which adds Triangle/1 inch to an operative’s Movement characteristic.Until the end of the Turning Point, while an enemy operative is within of that NURGLE operative, subtract 1 from the Def Life Siphon is a shooting attack that can heal a nearby friendly target for up to 3 wounds if you resolve at least to attack dice against the target you’re shooting at – so essentially a vampiric healing gunshot. Khorne grants the ability Wrathful Onslaught, which lets an operative turn a normal hit into a critical hit each time it fights in combat if it didn’t otherwise roll any critical hits in that Fight action – a good ability for your Chosen, Butcher, Anointed or Shrivetalon operatives. The Chosen and Butcher are capable of killing their loyal brethren in two critical strikes, while Blessing of Tzeentch or Nurgle both have strong plays in this match up.
