Question 1

When I determine visibility for a **MOUNTED** operative, should it be from the head of the rider or the mount?

Accepted Answer

Either - you can choose.

Question 2

Can **MOUNTED** operatives be wholly within areas of smoke (e.g. smoke grenades from universal equipment)?

Accepted Answer

No, even if there are multiple areas of smoke combined.

Question 3

If a **MOUNTED** operative moves through razor wire universal equipment, does it count as 'crossing over' for that equipment (i.e. do you treat the distance as an additional 1")?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

Question 4

In a Descent killzone, can **MOUNTED** operatives use Entryway markers to move between killzones?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In this instance they can climb when performing the **Sprint** action (taking precedence over the normal rules), using 3" of their movement allowance (although this 3" wouldn't be counted when determining their SPEED).

Question 5

In Killzone: Bheta Decima, can **MOUNTED** operatives climb gantry and thermometric condenser terrain features?

Accepted Answer

Yes, taking precedence over the Drakesteed Agility faction rule, but the **EXODITE DRAGON MASTER** kill team is not recommended to be used in that killzone.

Question 6

In Killzone: Tomb World, can **MOUNTED** operatives use a teleport pad to teleport?

Accepted Answer

No.

Question 7

In Killzone: Tomb World, if an operative teleports and a **MOUNTED** operative is on the teleport pad it would teleport to, what happens?

Accepted Answer

Move the **MOUNTED** operative the minimum distance possible to allow the other operative to be the only operative on the teleport pad.

Question 8

How does moving directly forwards or backwards work during the **Sprint** action?

Accepted Answer

The operative cannot move sideways or diagonally; its base must remain parallel to the direction of movement. Movement templates are provided as a guide. To use the 1-3" sprint template, place it around the front of the operative's base and move the operative directly forwards until the front of its base reaches the appropriate distance (to move backwards, use the back of the operative's base). To use the 4-6" sprint template, place it around the front of the operative's base and move the operative directly forwards until the back of its base reaches the appropriate distance.

Question 9

What is the specific point I can pivot a **MOUNTED** operative from?

Accepted Answer

The front, centre or back of its base. Pivot templates are provided as a guide.

Question 10

What happens if parts of my model (excluding the base) like the tail or weapons prevent my model from moving?

Accepted Answer

Just ignore them during the move. An operative must still end the action in a location it can be placed though, so moving through areas, operatives and terrain in this manner just allows it to manoeuvre, not be placed there as its final location.

Question 11

What happens if terrain or other operatives prevent my model from pivoting?

Accepted Answer

Most things are ignored, allowing you to freely pivot. An operative's base can pivot through other operatives and hazardous areas. Its base can also pivot through terrain parts no more than 2" tall (excluding Wall terrain). If parts of the model other than its base would prevent it from pivoting (e.g. tail, weapons, etc.), ignore them during the pivot. An operative must still end the action in a location it can be placed though, so pivoting through areas, operatives and terrain in this manner just allows it to manoeuvre, not be placed there as its final location.

Question 12

When using the Cleansing of the Pale Moon action to remove a rules effect where multiple identical tokens can be given to an operative (e.g. **HEARTHKYN SALVAGER** Grudge), do I remove all of those tokens or one?

Accepted Answer

All of those tokens.

Question 13

How does the Cleansing of the Pale Moon action interact with rules that apply an effect to operatives only while they are within a specific area (e.g. **DEATH KORPS** Gas Bombardment)?

Accepted Answer

Cleansing of the Pale Moon has no effect in these scenarios.
