Special Units:
————–
In order to have a Special unit on the battlefield, you need first to Play the corresponding
card in your hand on the specified Blip and to have the required amount of Menace Point (or MP).
Once the Blip has been chosen, you will have to wait your next Turn before the unit appears.
-=Special01 : Bulwark Biomorph=-
This unit is slower than its kind: 4 AP (instead of 6) but it requires 2 successful dices
(instead of 1) in order to kill it. These successes can be splited : one can come form a shot
with a Storm Bolter and the second one from a close Assault Action.
-=Special02: Reaperfex Biomorph=-
His agility allows him to cross over squares already occupied by other units or Interactive
Object. He also has 8 AP (instead of 6).
-=Special03 : Broodlord=-
-He can use the action Vanish (the cost is 6 AP) which allows to move from its current
square to an other one on the battlefield.
Player has to choose an eligible square nearby to do this action: < 13 squares from its origin ; -> 4 to an opponents unit ;-> 10 to an extract point
-If the unit is beyond 7 squares from a Terminator: 1 adjacent square of the Broodlord is
an entry area for Blip.
-=Special04: Miasmic Biomorph=-
When it dies, his body spills a gaz on its square. It lasts 1 turn. Every cost for a
Terminators movement in this area costs double.
Common Rules:
————-
Each unit has Actions Points (AP). They are spent for actions like Interaction, Close
Assault or Movements. The AP count is reset at the beginning of a new turn.
Only the Terminators can retrieve additional AP (AP Squad) by converting a Card.
Convert a Card has a different effect depending of the faction you play.
Only Terminators need to have a line of sight in order to use certain actions (ie:
Shoot Action with a Storm Bolter). A line of sight can be obstructed by a unit or an
Interactive Object (ie: doors).
A Full Turn is the addition of Terminator + Genestealer Turns.
At the end of their Turn, each opponent draw the necessary amount of cards to have 3
of them in hand. If they already have 3 cards (or more) at the end of their turn,
no cards are drew.
We advise you to set the timer to the maximum value for your first missions.
Card Basics:
————
You get 3 each turn, with some chapters giving you the ability to redraw 3, or the
Best ones, Draw 6, giving you plenty of tactical options. (But you discard the ones
you have, so make sure to use them first)
1.On the top right of the Card it shows how long the card effects last.
Arrow down = INSTANT (Some cards have these that last till your next turn shown
on the card detail)
Hourglass 1 = Until the end of your Turn
Hourglass 2 = Until your next Turn
Hourglass = Last until an action is taken.
Lets say you have a card that says next shot or melee is a success, if it shows
Hourglass 1 it means if your turn ends and you havent killed anything?
That Card buff goes puff.
2.Top left Shows CP (Command Points) Cost, they usually go from 1-4, you get 1 CP
at the start of your turn, and can use certain cards that give you Extra for
each Genestealer you kill. So best use those when about to kill alot of Genes.
3.Convert, currently in need of a buff in my opinion, converting a Card gives you
AP (Action Points) that the whole squad can draw from. The better the card, the
more AP you get. Use this early on when you are low on CP to give your termies
that extra push.
You should always be converting a card every turn (unless you are saving it) you can
only convert 1 card per turn. And remember, when on overwatch, this Squad AP will
help them unjam their weapons if they themselves have no AP.
-=Chapter Bonuses=-
Each Chapter gives different unique Cards. Make sure to read the cards from each
class for each chapter and compare them then pick the ones that suit your playstyle.
-=DARK ANGELS=-
Their Sergeant and Librarian can transfer their action points to other teammates.
They also seem more Plasma focused for their heavies so if you are bringing a heavy
best bring that sexy plasma. They also have an extra card on making your plasma
immune to overheating.
They also reduce genes in blips (very nice) and reduce AP for genes in line of sight
(not so nice). Also their Apothecary grants a card that gives 2 PSI points for each
gene killed, meaning you want to bring a librarian if bringing an Apothecary.
