Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Kill Team: Legionaries

Product Information

This ploy combined with a Champion of Tzeentch even allows players an exceedingly rare 5 action activation. Undivided operatives can use Hateful Assault or Malicious Volleys for free since they don’t get access to any of the God-specific Ploys, but those two are also pretty great if you’re getting them for free. Subtracts 1 from the Action Point Limit of one enemy operative within Square/3 inches of the selected Slaanesh-marked operative. This is a rather difficult Tac Op simply because once you declare it your opponent has ample opportunity to avoid it. Soul Feast: Each time this operative fights in combat, at the end of the Resolve Successful Hits step of that combat, if this operative has not been incapacitated and any of their strikes inflicted Critical Damage, this operative regains 2 lost wounds.

The Traitor Legions were the most powerful component of the forces of Chaos which fought during the Heresy, which also included the myriad Daemons of the Warp, Human Traitors from the Imperial Army, the potent infantry and combat walker forces of the Dark Mechanicum and Chaos Cultists drawn from across the galaxy. In the Resolve Successful Hits step of a combat or shooting attack, if an attack dice inflicts damage on this operative, its Save characteristic is changed back to its normal characteristic for the rest of the battle. This operative’s main draw is the In the Eyes of the Gods ability, which allows him to perform a single Free Action after it incapacitates an enemy setting up for incredibly powerful 4 action activations. The incapacitated operative can roll one dice to attack with one of its melee weapons against an enemy operative within Engagement Range before being removed from the killzone. Subtract 1 damage from each hit doing normal damage against friendly operatives with the Nurgle mark for the duration of one Turning Point.

The intended target is within of a point at which a Cover line crosses another operative’s base (unless that other operative is not itself in the active operative’s LoS), or a terrain feature that provides Cover (see Terrain Traits). Thanks to their blessings Legionnaires have the largest list of ploys of any Kill Team as each blessing receives two strategic ploys and one tactical ploy, while there are three generalist ploys available to any type of operative.

Some worship Slaanesh, the God of Excess, seeking the most extreme sensations and emotions, often opting for theatricality and dragging out the torment of their foes rather than going straight for the kill. Assassinate Target and Executioner are amongst the weaker choices as the former can be very difficult to accomplish since your opponent chooses your target, while the later runs the risk of making the chosen operative a prime enemy target. It gains the ability regain to ignore a wound on a roll of 5+, it can fight twice in an activation, and its Daemonic Claw scores critical hits on a 5+ and gets to reroll hit rolls of 1. Considering that you’ll often have the option to perform Overwatch actions with your Legionary Kill Team due to its low model count, it’s definitely worth bringing a Heavy Gunner in your team to do either high single target damage or spread chaos with area damage multiple times per Turning Point.If you do take them it is because you are looking to increase shooting efficiency as the Legionnaires team has no shortage of melee specialists that easily eclipse this operative’s melee profile. The token is then removed, and the second and fourth time a friendly operative performs this action, you score a Victory Point. All but the most resilient enemies are likely to die in combat, making this ability reliant on circumstance for its usefulness, but this is still strong if you manage to engage multiple foes. Grisly Trophy: While this operative is Visible to and within of an enemy operative, subtract 1 from the Attacks characteristic of ranged and melee weapons that enemy operative is equipped with. Suspensor System: The Heavy special rule of ranged weapons the operative is equipped with is treated differently.

MARK OF CHAOS>When adding a LEGIONARY operative to your roster or dataslate, you must choose one of the keywords below to replace its selectable keyword with. Your operatives can now perform the action Defiled for the Dark Gods while close to one of those tokens. If this strategic asset is removed from your base of operations, remove those items of rare equipment from your stash. The Aspiring Champion is one of 2 leader options for the Legionary kill team, and it’s the one that most resembles other leaders in power armour: It has 13 wounds and a 3+ save.If your roster contains any operatives with the NURGLE keyword, it cannot contain any operatives with the TZEENTCH keyword (and vice versa). Rare EquipmentEach time you would determine an item of rare equipment to add to your stash, if your faction is LEGIONARY , you can determine one from the table below instead of determining one from another source.
