Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Kill Team: Legionaries

Product Information

This isn’t to say the Champion isn’t a very capable operative as he comes with the usual suite of sergeant weapons along with a Tainted Chainsword that allows him to parry Critical Hits with Normal Hits, on top of this he is a slightly better marksman hitting/wound on a +2 with his pistol options. The first time an enemy operative is incapacitated, this Tac Op is revealed, and you place a token where that enemy operative fell, as well as everywhere an enemy is incapacitated for the rest of the battle.

With meltaguns they destroy armoured bunkers and with plasma guns they pose a threat to the heaviest enemy troops. LEGIONARY operatives in your kill team can be equipped with equipment from this list, as specified in the mission sequence. Life Siphon is a shooting attack that can heal a nearby friendly target for up to 3 wounds if you resolve at least to attack dice against the target you’re shooting at – so essentially a vampiric healing gunshot. Aggression Stimulants [3 EP] One Per Team – Re-roll a single die when you fight in combat if you charged during the Turning Point.A solid ability that immediately cuts down on command point usage, however this Blessing’s biggest issue is that it doesn’t open up access to any additional ploys. Until the end of the Turning Point, each time a friendly LEGIONARY operative is activated, if it does not perform a Shoot action during that activation, it can perform two Fight actions during that activation.

Subtracts 1 from the Action Point Limit of one enemy operative within Square/3 inches of the selected Slaanesh-marked operative. With its Action Point Limit of 3, 12 wounds and a 3+ Save, it’s as formidable as they come for an operative in power armour, and its weapon options are also pretty straightforward: You can go for a Boltgun and Fists or a Bolt pistol and Chainsword.Slaanesh grants Unnatural Agility which adds Triangle/1 inch to an operative’s Movement characteristic. They are favoured within their bitter brotherhoods, wearing baroque armour and equipped with the finest wargear.

Another One Per Team item as this can only be used by the Acolyte, although keep in mind this still won’t allow you to perform two Shooting Powers, meaning this just allows you to use Malign Influence in the same activation that you use either of the other ones.Finally, the Tainted Chainsword has the Parry Hook special rule, which lets it use normal hit rolls that you parry with in combat to discard enemy critical hits rather than normal ones. The Unique Action Grisly Mark allows the Shrivetalon to place a mark on the ground that makes the enemy use an extra Action Point to perform Pick Up actions close to it, as well as working as a reverse Icon Bearer, reducing the Action Point Limit of nearby enemy operatives for the purpose of controlling objective markers. In both of these lists you can notice a trend that Gunners don’t need to have either Blessings of Slaanesh or Khorne as they’re more concerned with staying alive or remaining mobile while providing reliable fire support. Thanks to their blessings Legionnaires have the largest list of ploys of any Kill Team as each blessing receives two strategic ploys and one tactical ploy, while there are three generalist ploys available to any type of operative. This counts whether they’re the attacker or not giving operatives significant movement potential if your opponent isn’t careful.

In the above section we briefly covered the five keywords associated with the various blessings available to a Legionary Team. That’s not a terrible strategy at all, but you would be missing out on all the special weapons and abilities of other operative types that it’s not really worth it (or all that fun).Giving up their bodies to possession isn’t just a fun activity for the weekend – they can let their daemons take control in the heat of battle. Protected by Fate, fittingly, makes its usefulness mostly on chance as relying on Critical Saves can be a risky proposition. Horrifying Dismemberment allows this operative to reduce the APL of an enemy operative within SQUARE when it incapacitates an enemy operative in combat. Sacrilegious Mutilation – If you select this Tac Op when you incapacitate an enemy operative you place a Corpse Token where they were incapacitated. As a final sacrifice, the Chosen only has +3 to hit with his Plasma Pistol, unlike most leader operatives that see an improvement to both hitting and shooting over the operatives they’re leading.
