Tainted Rounds [3 EP] One Per Team – Ups damage of both normal and critical damage of either a Bolt Pistol, Tainted Bolt Pistol, or Boltgun by 1. A great piece of equipment and basically a requirement if you’re bringing any operatives with standard Boltguns. It makes sense why this one is limited. B

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. Play the Hateful Assault Strategic Ploy to Fight twice and eviscerate anybody standing next to your unfortunate victim. And even if there’s a crowd of targets around the Butcher, his Devastating Onslaught ability forces each enemy operative to Fight without the support of their comrades. Sacrilegious Mutilation – If you select this Tac Op when you incapacitate an enemy operative you place a Corpse Token where they were incapacitated. Operatives may then perform the Defiled for the Dark Gods (1 AP) action while within ▲ of the Token and more than ⬤ from enemy operatives, the token is then removed. 1 VP is gained when this is performed twice, while a second is gained after two more times. This requires you to basically kill AT LEAST four enemy operatives, and then use four actions to score. While killing your opponent is something this team does naturally over the course of the game, having four spare actions is another story. If you are looking to run this Tac Op you should avoid taking it during Loot missions, and have the Champion as your Leader with at least half your team using the Blessing of Tzeentch.

When Khorne marked models fight, they can strike with one normal hit as if it is a critical hit. This is important wording as it doesn’t retain a normal hit as a critical hit, as with some special rules, and it means you treat a normal hit as if it is a critical hit for the purposes of parrying. I can see people getting confused by the wording and interpreting it differently. This savage and relentless warband encompasses a diverse array of lethal champions. Included among the ranks are the esteemed Aspiring Champion, along with nine other Legionaries eagerly awaiting their chance to unleash devastation upon their foes. Each individual can be meticulously customized, allowing you to equip them with an assortment of weaponry, choose distinctive heads, and adorn them with various accessories. In addition, these miniatures offer the opportunity to assemble specialist characters tailored for your Kill Team’s unique strategy, including the enigmatic Balefire Acolyte, the vicious Shrivetalon, the ruthless Butcher, and many more intriguing options to explore. What’s in the Kill Team: Legionaries box The Legionaries Kill Team has been very popular since its release, and a regular fixture in top event placings. They’re a versatile team with lots of options which can play well in a variety of formats. Strengths

This is a great operative for objective clearing, and a must include in a melee focused kill team. With a Mark of Khorne it becomes chef kiss. Legionary Balefire Acolyte If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you’re just the right type of bitter madman to consider a Traitor Marines Kill Team. Welcome aboard! Your membership into this exclusive club comes with a gallon of Imperial Standard salt, to be kept with you at all times. The upside to Chaos Space Marines is that you get some sweet modeling opportunities and you aren’t playing a bunch of loyalist dorks. Mission actions are specific to the mission you are playing, and will be detailed by that mission’s briefing. Missions can be found here (Open Play mission) and here (Spec Ops Narrative missions).Every kill team boasts an array of specialisms, but the Legionary kill team goes one step further by letting you assign a Mark of Chaos to each of your operatives. Proclaim your allegiance to the Dark Gods, and you’ll be gifted with new abilities and ploys – both Tactical and Strategic – to match. Don’t worry, there’s no danger of your prized operatives ending up as a Chaos Spawn . Khorne Tainted Rounds are bolt gun, bolt pistol and tainted bolt pistol only, adding one to Normal and Critical damage, though you likely won’t take any models armed with bolters and your bolt pistol armed models may have more of a melee focus. For 3EP a model it also gets pricey.

Even the longest-serving Chaos Space Marine Legionary is resigned to the vagaries of fate, which is just one of the many occupational hazards of bumbling around the warp for so long. But perhaps, after so many millennia of war, you can finally take providence into your own gnarled hands – with these swanky orange dice. This set contains 20 six-sided dice, with the scowling helmed visage of your faction etched into the 6 face. White Dwarf 474 In my opinion this is an auto include in kill teams where you want to use melee, and the combination of Lethal 5+ and the ability to Fight twice makes it real useful to combine with the Mark of Khorne to chew through enemy groups. Blood for the Blood God – +1 Damage on the first strike in each Fight action if the model has performed a Charge action during it’s activation. This is similar to ploys in the Compendium for the Tyranids and Harlequins and is great for trying to punch out enemies by resolving the first hit of a Fight. Do some maths in your head before using it though.Just as planned, we end with Tzeentch.**** With the insight granted by the Mark of Tzeentch, your operatives will be able to tap into the power of the warp and seek out weak spots in enemy armour – great for landing those vital critical hits. Mark your Legionary Anointed as a Slaaneshi worshipper to help him dash across the battlefield even faster – before tearing enemy operatives apart with his daemonic claw. A worse fate for a hapless Aeldari pirate, we can’t imagine… Graceful Killers (B) and Delicious Agony (D) – Graceful Killers is a slightly more useful version of Blood for the Blood God adding a straight 1 damage to critical hits on all melee weapons. This is especially nasty with weapons that do 6 or 7 damage on a critical hit, and can even be useful in mirror matches where it allows operatives like your ShriveTalon to kill opposing traitors with two critical hits. Delicious Agonies falls into the situational category as against hordes it is basically useless as none of your operatives do less than 3 damage in close combat, and 7/8 wound operatives are wounded at 3 wounds. Only use this ploy against high wound enemies such as Intercession or Gellerpox where any extra strike might make or break a fight.
