Angels of Death - Kill Team Rules

Faction Rules

Chapter Tactics

When selecting your kill team, select a primary and secondary **CHAPTER TACTIC** for friendly **ANGEL OF DEATH** operatives to gain for the battle. Multiple instances of the same **CHAPTER TACTIC** aren't cumulative.

Astartes

During each friendly **ANGEL OF DEATH** operative's activation, it can perform either two **Shoot** actions or two **Fight** actions. If it's two **Shoot** actions, a bolt weapon must be selected for at least one of them, and if it's a bolt sniper rifle or heavy bolter, 1 additional AP must be spent for the second action if both actions are spent for using that weapon. Each friendly **ANGEL OF DEATH** operative can counteract regardless of its order.

Once per turning point, you can do one of the following: - Use a firefight ploy for 0CP if this is the specified **ANGEL OF DEATH** operative (excluding Command Re-roll). - Use the Combat Doctrine strategy ploy when you activate a friendly **ANGEL OF DEATH** operative if this operative is in the killzone and isn't within control range of enemy operatives (pay its CP cost as normal). Note that you cannot do so if you've already used that ploy during this turning point. - Use the Adjust Doctrine firefight ploy for 0CP if this operative is in the killzone and isn't within control range of enemy operatives.

And They Shall Know No Fear

You can ignore any changes to the stats of friendly **ANGEL OF DEATH** operatives from being injured (including their weapons' stats).

Adaptive Tactics

Change your secondary **CHAPTER TACTIC**. Note this ploy only lasts until the end of the turning point, at which point your original secondary **CHAPTER TACTIC** returns.

Indomitus

Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly **ANGEL OF DEATH** operative, if you roll two or more fails, you can discard one of them to retain another as a normal success instead.

Firefight Ploys

Adjust Doctrine

Use this firefight ploy during a friendly **ANGEL OF DEATH** operative's activation, before or after it performs an action. If you've used the Combat Doctrine strategy ploy during this turning point, change the **COMBAT DOCTRINE** you selected.

Transhuman Physiology

Use this firefight ploy when an operative is shooting a friendly **ANGEL OF DEATH** operative, in the Roll Defence Dice step. You can retain one of your normal successes as a critical success instead.

Shock Assault

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly **ANGEL OF DEATH** operative is performing the **Fight** action during an activation in which it performed the **Charge** action, at the start of the Resolve Attack Dice step. Until the end of that action: - Its melee weapon has the Shock weapon rule. - The first time you strike during that sequence, inflict 1 additional damage (to a maximum of 7).

Wrath of Vengeance

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly **ANGEL OF DEATH** operative is counteracting. It can perform an additional 1AP action for free during that counteraction, but both actions must be different.

Equipment

Purity Seals

Once per turning point, when a friendly **ANGEL OF DEATH** operative is shooting, fighting or retaliating, if you roll two or more fails, you can discard one of them to retain another as a normal success instead.

Chapter Reliquaries

You can use the Wrath of Vengeance firefight ploy for 0CP if the specified friendly operative has an Engage order.

Tilting Shields

Once per turning point, when a friendly **ANGEL OF DEATH** operative is fighting or retaliating, after your opponent rolls their attack dice, but before re-rolls, you can use this rule. If you do, your opponent cannot retain attack dice results of less than 6 as critical successes during that sequence (e.g. as a result of the Lethal, Rending or Severe weapon rules).

Auspex

Once per turning point, when a friendly **ANGEL OF DEATH** operative performs the **Shoot** action and you're selecting a valid target, you can use this rule. If you do, until the end of the activation/counteraction, enemy operatives within 8" of that friendly operative cannot be obscured.
