The Archons of the Drukhari Kabals are forever plotting to expand their sprawling criminal empires. Should their schemes require a subtle touch, they may turn to Hand of the Archon kill teams. These bands of assassins, thieves, torturers and worse wield an array of esoteric and macabre weapons to aid them in their diabolical missions.

Strategic Ploys

Blade Artists

1 CP

Friendly HAND OF THE ARCHON operatives’ melee weapons have the Rending weapon rule.
Rending: If you retain any critical hits, retain 1 normal hit as a critical hit instead.

Denizens Of Night

1 CP

Whenever an enemy operative is shooting a friendly HAND OF THE ARCHON operative that’s more than 2" from enemy operatives, if Heavy terrain is intervening, or any part of that friendly operative’s base is underneath Vantage terrain, you can re-roll one of your defence dice.

From Darkness, Death

1 CP

Whenever a friendly HAND OF THE ARCHON operative is activated, before you determine its order, you can select one enemy operative that friendly operative isn’t a valid target for. Until the end of that activation, the first time that friendly operative is shooting against or fighting against that enemy operative, you can retain one of your normal successes as a critical success instead.

Merciless Sadists

1 CP

Whenever a friendly HAND OF THE ARCHON operative is shooting against or fighting against a wounded enemy operative, that friendly operative’s weapons have the Balanced weapon rule.
Balanced: Can re-roll one Attack die.

Firefight Ploys

Cruel Deception

1 CP

Use this firefight ploy during a friendly HAND OF THE ARCHON operative’s activation. During that activation, that operative can perform the Fall Back action for 1 less AP.

Devious Scheme

1 CP

Use this firefight ploy after an opponent uses a firefight ploy (excluding one that costs 0CP). The next time they would use that ploy, they must spend 1 additional CP to do so (at which point this effect ends). You cannot use this ploy again during the battle until its effect has ended.

Heinous Arrogance

1 CP

Use this firefight ploy when it’s your turn to activate a friendly operative. You can skip that activation.

Prey On The Wounded

1 CP

Use this firefight ploy after rolling your attack dice for a friendly HAND OF THE ARCHON operative, if it’s shooting against or fighting against a wounded enemy operative. You can re-roll any of your attack dice.

Equipment

Chain Snare

Whenever an enemy operative would perform the Fall Back action while within control range of a friendly HAND OF THE ARCHON operative, if no other enemy operatives are within that friendly operative’s control range, you can use this rule. If you do, roll two D6, or one D6 if that enemy operative has a higher Wounds stat than that friendly operative. If any result is a 4+, that enemy operative cannot perform that action during that activation or counteraction (no AP are spent on it).

Wicked Blades

Add 1 to the Atk stat of friendly HAND OF THE ARCHON operatives’ array of blades.

Toxic Coating

Up to twice per turning point, whenever a friendly HAND OF THE ARCHON operative is fighting or retaliating and you’re selecting a melee weapon, you can use this rule. If you do, until the end of that sequence, that operative’s melee weapon has the Lethal 5+ weapon rule.

Refined Poison

Up to twice per turning point, whenever a friendly HAND OF THE ARCHON operative is performing the Shoot action and you select a shardcarbine, splinter cannon, splinter pistol, splinter rifle or stinger pistol, you can use this rule. If you do, until the end of that action, add 1 to the Normal Dmg stat of that weapon.

Universal Equipment

Ammo Cache

Before the battle, you can set up one of your Ammo Cache markers wholly within your territory. Friendly operatives can perform the following mission action during the battle: AMMO RESUPPLY (0 AP): One of your Ammo Cache markers the active operative controls is used during this turning point.
Until the start of the next turning point, whenever this operative is shooting with a weapon from its datacard, you can re-roll one of your attack dice.
An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, if that marker is not yours, or if that marker has been used this turning point.

Razor Wire

Razor wire is Exposed and Obstructing terrain. Before the battle, you can set it up wholly within your territory, on the killzone floor and more than 2" from other equipment terrain features, access points, and Accessible terrain.
Obstructing: Whenever an operative would cross over this terrain feature within 1" of it, treat the distance as an additional 1".

Comms Device

Before the battle, you can set up one of your Comms Device markers wholly within your territory. While a friendly operative controls this marker, add 3" to the distance requirements of its SUPPORT rules that refer to friendly operatives (e.g. ‘select one friendly operative within 6"’ would be 9" instead). Note that you cannot benefit from your opponent's Comms Device markers.

Mines

Before the battle, you can set up one of your Mines markers wholly within your territory and more than 2" from other markers, access points, and Accessible terrain. The first time that marker is within an operative's control range, remove that marker and inflict D3+3 damage on that operative.

Light Barricades

Light barricades are Light terrain, except the feet, which are Insignificant and Exposed. Before the battle, you can set up any of them wholly within your territory, on the killzone floor and more than 2" from other markers, access points, and Accessible terrain.

Heavy Barricade

A heavy barricade is Heavy terrain. Before the battle, you can set it up wholly within 2" of your drop zone, on the killzone floor and more than 2" from other equipment terrain features, access points, and Accessible terrain.

Ladders

Ladders are Exposed terrain. Before the battle, you can set up any of them as follows:

Wholly within your territory.
Upright against terrain that is at least 2" tall.
More than 2" from other equipment terrain features.
More than 1" from doors and access points.

In addition, an operative can either move through ladders as if they aren’t there (but cannot finish on them), or climb them. Once per action, whenever an operative is climbing this terrain feature, treat the vertical distance as 1". Note that if an operative then continues climbing another terrain feature during that action (including another ladder), that distance is determined as normal.

Portable Barricade

A portable barricade is Light, Protective and Portable terrain. Before the battle, you can set it up wholly within your territory, on the killzone floor and more than 2" from other equipment terrain features, access points, and Accessible terrain.
Protective: While an operative is in cover from this terrain feature, improve its Save stat by 1 (to a maximum of 2+).
Portable: This terrain feature only provides cover while an operative is connected to it and if the shield is intervening (ignore its feet). Operatives connected to the inside of it can perform the following unique action during the battle:
Move With Barricade (1 AP): The same as the Reposition action, except the active operative can move no more than its Move stat minus 2" and cannot climb, drop, jump, or use any killteam's rules that remove it and set it back up again (e.gh. HEARTHKYN SALVAGER Fly, MANDRAKE Shadow Passage).
Before this operative moves, remove the portable barricade it is connected to. After it moves, set up the portable barricade so it is connected again.
This action is treated as a Reposition action. An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or in the same activation in which it performed the Fall Back or Charge action.

Utility Grenade - Smoke

When you select this equipment, select two utility grenades (2 smoke, 2 stun, or 1 smoke and 1 stun). Each selection is a unique action your operatives can perform, but your kill team can only perform that action a total number of times during the battle equal to your selection.
SMOKE GRENADE (1 AP):

Place one of your Smoke Grenade markers within 6" of this operative. It must be visible to this operative, or on Vantage terrain of a terrain feature that is visible to this operative. The marker creates an area of smoke 1" horizontally and unlimited height vertically from (but not below) it.
While an operative is wholly within an area of smoke, it is obscured to operatives more than 2" from it, and vice versa. In addition, whenever an operative is shooting an enemy operative wholly within an area of smoke, ignore the Piercing weapon rule unless they are within 2" of each other.
In the Ready step of the next Strategy phase, roll one D3. Remove that Smoke Grenade marker after a number of activations equal to that D3 have been completed or at the end of the turning point (whichever comes first).
An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or if you have reached the total number of times your kill team can perform it.

Utility Grenade - Stun

Select one enemy operative visible to and within 6" of this operative. That operative and each other operative within 1" of it takes a stun test. For an operative to take a stun test, roll one D6: on a 3+, subtract 1 from its APL stat until the end of its next activation.
An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or if you have reached the total number of times your kill team can perform it.

Explosive Grenade - Frag

When you select this equipment, select two explosive grenades (2 frag, 2 krak, or 1 frag and 1 krak).

Name	A	BS	D
Frag Grenade	4	4+	2/4
