Novitiates ^kt24

New inductees into the ranks of the Adepta Sororitas, Sisters Novitiate who display great zeal and determination are often deployed together in kill teams to hunt down apostates or root out heretics. In performing such duties, they may one day rise to become full Sisters, spreading the Emperor’s light ever further.

Strategic Ploys

Ardent Vengeance

1 CP

Whenever a friendly NOVITIATE operative is shooting against, fighting against or retaliating against an expended enemy operative, that friendly operative’s weapons have the Punishing weapon rule.
Punishing: If you retain any critical successes, you can retain one of your fails as a normal success instead of discarding it.

Blessed Rejuvenation

1 CP

Whenever you spend Faith points, at the end of that action, the friendly operative you spent them on regains a number of lost wounds equal to the number spent plus D3. Note this ploy has no effect if the ACT OF FAITH doesn’t cost any Faith points, e.g. Auto-chastisers equipment.

Defenders Of The Faith

1 CP

Whenever an operative is shooting against, fighting against or retaliating against a friendly NOVITIATE operative that contests an objective marker or one of your mission markers, in the Resolve Attack Dice step of that sequence, you can halve the damage inflicted (rounding up) on that friendly operative from one success.

Righteous Advance

1 CP

Up to one third of the friendly NOVITIATE operatives in the killzone (rounding down, to a minimum of 1) can immediately perform a free Dash action in an order of your choice, but each that does so must end that move closer to its closest enemy operative, its closest objective marker or your opponent’s drop zone (you can choose separately for each).
You cannot use this ploy during the first turning point.

Firefight Ploys

Blinding Aura

1 CP

Use this firefight ploy when an enemy operative is performing the Shoot action and selects a friendly NOVITIATE operative as the valid target. Until the end of that activation/counteraction, while that friendly operative is more than 2" from that enemy operative, your opponent cannot select it as a valid target. If there are no other valid targets that your opponent can select, that action ends (it’s not cancelled, so that operative has still performed it). Note this ploy has no effect if it’s not the selected operative, e.g. if it’s a secondary target from the Blast weapon rule.

Blazing Inferno

1 CP

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly NOVITIATE operative is shooting with a Ministorum flamer and you retain any critical successes. The target gains one of your Blaze tokens (if it doesn’t already have one). Whenever an operative that has one of your Blaze tokens is activated:

Inflict D3 damage on it.
Its controlling player can subtract 1 from that operative’s APL stat until the end of that activation to remove that token. Note that this must be done before that operative performs any actions during that activation.

Guided By Faith

1 CP

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly NOVITIATE operative is performing the Shoot action and you’re selecting a ranged weapon. Until the end of that action, whenever that operative is shooting an operative within 6" of it, that weapon has the Seek Light weapon rule.
Seek Light: When selecting a valid target, operatives cannot use light terrain for cover. While this can allow such operatives to be targeted (assuming they are Visible), it does not remove their Cover save (if any).

Glorious Martyrdom

1 CP

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly NOVITIATE operative is incapacitated. For each enemy operative visible to and within 2" of it, you gain 1 Faith point and inflict D3 damage on that enemy operative (roll separately for each).

Equipment

Icon Of Faith

Once per turning point, you can use up to two ACTS OF FAITH during a sequence, but each one must be different. This takes precedence over the normal ACTS OF FAITH rules.

Sanctified Rounds

Whenever a friendly NOVITIATE operative is shooting with an autogun, autopistol, relic bolt pistol or relic boltgun, if you spend a Faith point, that weapon has the Piercing Crits 1 weapon rule until the end of that sequence.

Auto-Chastisers

Once per turning point, when a friendly NOVITIATE operative is shooting, fighting or retaliating, in the Roll Attack Dice step, you can inflict 1-3 damage on that friendly operative (but not enough to incapacitate it). If you do, you can use one ACT OF FAITH for free during that sequence with a Faith points cost no more than the damage you inflicted from this rule.

Holy Embrocations

You can ignore any changes to the Move stat of friendly NOVITIATE operatives from being injured.

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
Special Rules
Rng 6", Blast 2", Saturate

Explosive Grenade - Krak
