Whenever you select a **LEGIONARY** operative for the battle, you must select one of the following keywords for it to have for that battle: **KHORNE**, **NURGLE**, **SLAANESH**, **TZEENTCH**, **UNDIVIDED**. Each operative's keyword can be different, but a **BALEFIRE ACOLYTE** operative cannot have the **KHORNE** keyword. Friendly **LEGIONARY** operatives have an additional rule determined by this keyword. In addition, **LEGIONARY** ploys have additional benefits for operatives with the relevant keyword.
During each friendly **LEGIONARY** operative's activation, it can perform either two **Shoot** actions or two **Fight** actions. If it's two **Shoot** actions, a bolt pistol, boltgun or tainted bolt pistol must be selected for at least one of them. Each friendly **LEGIONARY** operative can counteract regardless of its order.
