Imperium
Kasrkin
Security/Seek And Destroy
Amongst Cadia's most elite warriors, the Kasrkin are trained from birth in the art of war.
Faction Rules
Rapid Fire
Each friendly KASRKIN operative that doesn’t perform an action in which it moves during its activation can perform two Shoot actions (excluding Guard) during that activation, but a bolt pistol, hot-shot lasgun or hot-shot laspistol must be selected for both of those actions.
Skill At Arms
STRATEGIC GAMBIT Select a SKILL AT ARMS for friendly KASRKIN operatives to have until the Ready step of the next Strategy phase.
- Light 'Em Up
Friendly KASRKIN operatives’ ranged weapons have the Severe weapon rule
- Strike Fast
Whenever a friendly KASRKIN operative is performing the Reposition action, add 1" to its Move stat.
- Ice In Your Veins
Whenever a friendly KASRKIN operative is fighting or retaliating, or an operative is shooting it, the first time an attack die inflicts Normal Dmg of 3 or more on this operative during that sequence, that dice inflicts 1 less damage on it.
- For Cadia!
Add 1 to the Atk stat of friendly KASRKIN operatives' melee weapons (to a maximum of 4). Whenever a friendly KASRKIN operative is fighting, the first time you strike during that sequence, inflict 1 additional damage.
Operatives
Strategic Ploys
Place your Clearance Sweep marker in the killzone. Whenever a friendly KASRKIN operative within 5" horizontally of that marker is shooting an operative also within 5" horizontally of that marker, that friendly operative's weapons have the Ceaseless weapon rule. In the Ready step of the next Strategy phase, remove that marker.
Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly KASRKIN operative that’s in cover, you can re-roll one of your defence dice.
Whenever a friendly KASRKIN operative is shooting with a hot-shot weapon against an operative that cannot retain any cover saves or is being scanned (see RECON-TROOPER), that weapon has the Piercing Crits 1 weapon rule, or Piercing 1 instead if it’s a hot-shot volley gun.
Select one friendly KASRKIN operative that is more than 3" from enemy operatives.
That operative, and each other friendly KASRKIN operative that is both within 3" of that operative and more than 3" from enemy operatives,
can immediately perform a free Dash action in an order of your choice. You cannot use this ploy during the first turning point.
Firefight Ploys
Use this firefight ploy when a friendly KASRKIN operative performs the Fall Back action while visible to and within 6" of another friendly KASRKIN operative that is not within control range of enemy operatives. After that friendly operative has finished moving, but before that Fall Back action ends, that other friendly operative can immediately perform a free Shoot action (you can change its order to Engage to do so).
Use this firefight ploy during a friendly KASRKIN operative's activation, or at the end of the Firefight phase.
Select one of your mission markers or an objective marker.
Until the end of that activation or until the start of the next turning point respectively, if the total APL of friendly KASRKIN operatives that contest that marker is 2,
and the total APL of enemy operatives that contest it is the same, friendly KASRKIN operatives control that marker.
Use this firefight ploy after rolling your attack dice for a friendly KASRKIN operative, if it’s shooting an operative that either cannot retain any cover saves or is being scanned (see RECON-TROOPER). You can re-roll any of your attack dice.
Use this firefight ploy at the start of the Firefight phase. One friendly KASRKIN operative can immediately perform a 1AP action for free, but it cannot move during that action. You cannot use this ploy if you are the player with initiative.
Equipment
Foregrip
Whenever a friendly KASRKIN operative is shooting an operative within 3" of it, ranged weapons on its datacard
(excluding weapons that include ‘pistol’ in their name, e.g. hot-shot laspistol, all profiles of a plasma pistol, etc.) have the Accurate 1 weapon rule.
Long-Range Scope
Whenever a friendly KASRKIN operative is shooting an operative more than 6" from it, that friendly operative's hot-shot weapons have the Saturate weapon rule.
Relics Of Cadia
Once per turning point, when a friendly KASRKIN operative is shooting, fighting, or retaliating, if you roll two or more fails, you can discard one of them to retain another as a normal success instead.
Combat Daggers
Friendly KASRKIN operatives have the following melee weapon:
| Weapon | ATK | HIT | DMG | Special |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Combat Dagger | 3 | 4+ | 3/4 | — |
Ammo Cache (x1)
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:
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 (x1)
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 (x1)
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 (x1)
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 (x2)
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 equipment terrain features, access points, and Accessible terrain.
Heavy Barricade (x1)
A heavy barricade is Heavy terrain. Before the battle, you can set it up wholly within 4" of your drop zone, on the killzone floor and more than 2" from other equipment terrain features, access points, and Accessible terrain.
Ladders (x2)
Ladders are Insignificant and Exposed terrain. Before the battle, you can set up any of them as follows:
- Wholly within your territory.
- Upright against terrain that’s at least 2" tall.
- More than 2" from other equipment terrain features.
- More than 1" from doors and access points.
Once per action, whenever an operative is climbing the terrain feature a ladder is placed against, treat the vertical distance as 1" if the ladder is within that operative’s control range during that entire climb.
Portable Barricade (x1)
A portable barricade is Light, Protective and Portable terrain, except the feet which are Insignificant and Exposed.
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:
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, but the portable barricade cannot be set up within 2" of
other equipment terrain features, access points or Accessible terrain. If this is not possible, the portable barricade is not set up 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 (x1/2)
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.
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, weapons with the Piercing 2 or Piercing Crits 2 weapon rule have the Piercing 1 or Piercing Crits 1 weapon rule (respectively) instead, unless they’re 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 (x1/2)
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.
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 (x1/2)
When you select this equipment, select two explosive grenades (2 frag, 2 krak, or 1 frag and 1 krak).
| Weapon | ATK | HIT | DMG | Special |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frag Grenade | 4 | 4+ | 2/4 | Rng 6", Blast 2", Saturate |

| Krak Grenade | 4 | 4+ | 4/5 | Rng 6", Piercing 1, Saturate |
Breaching Charge
Once per battle, when a friendly operative performs the Breach action, you can use this rule. If you do, that operative can perform that action for 1 less AP (to a minimum of 1AP) as though it had the word "breach marker" on its datacard.
