lr/hen you first start using the rules it is suqested that only small forces are used but
once you are familiar uith the rules'mechanics than you can:-
Lead fanatic hordes of Redemptionists to cleanse, purify
and generally obliterate everything and every one in the
very heart of the Imperium
. Ride the massive 2500cc Poruerbike at the head of a grim
entourage to the greatest and bloodiest drugs bust of all
time.
Teleport doun into the merciless maelstrom of a relentless
assault on the desert outpost of the Red Redemption.

Ihe points value Lists detail all the troops, !/eaponry
and-equipment used in the rules" Most are of'a fairly'
self-explanatary nature uith more detail. to be found
in the rLaserburnr rules.
Troops are classified as fo]lous:-
Light Infantry (LI) Troops ruearing very littJ.e or
no armour, at most a helmet, flak
or mesh jacket. Some may ruear light
armour plates on legs or arms.
Armoured lnfantry (AI) Troops ruearing a helmet and plasteel
plate armour eovering the torso and
possibly legs and arms.
Pourer Armour (PA) Strengthened armourplas plates, in-
corporates a poulered excO-skeleton
vhich duplicates the motions of the
individual inside.
Pouer armour often ineorporates
ueaponry and jetpacks.
Dreadnought (DN) Toughened, thick complete armourplas
plate uith J.ov density carbon foam
padding to absorb impact. The great
ueight of the armour is carried by
an immensely poverful exc-skeleton.
J

Training I
Troops are also classified by training rui.lich ruitl
effeet their veapons skill. These ctaisiiications are:_
Guard
Veteran
Elite
Regular - Average
Conscript
Rav - Extrerely poor. :
Squads Troops are normally organised into squads of I to g
men, and all members of a squad must remai.n uithin Bcm
of another rember. If a squad is split by more than
this distance it must regroup before it can advance.

TURN SEQUENCE
The game is split up into a number of GAME TURNS, each of ryhich is split doun into truo
PLAYER TURNS. Each game turn should follory this sequence:-
Player Ars First Movement Phase -

The player may move any or all of his figures as outl-lned in the movement rules.
Fire Phase
Both players may fire ruith any elligable figures - see firing ruLes. Firing is treated
as simuftaneous so easualties are not removed until the very end of the fiie phase.
Player Ars Second Movement Phase
The player may again move uith any or all of his figures - even if they have already
moved during the first movement phase.
Player Ars Close Combat Phase
Player A_may attempt to mover_fire or engage in close combat lrith any figures elligable,
as detaiLed in the Combat Ru1es.

Player Brs Player Turn nov follorus and should follou, the same sequence as Ars above.
The game turn is then completed, go on to the next Game Turn and player Ats player Turn.

vehicle point vithin J-cm. avay, entering is the reverse.
The vehicle itself must not move at all in this
movement phase.
Enter or leave a Move from any point inside the building to outside
building ruithin lcm. of any exit, entering is the reverse.
Attempt to Reload/ See the arrnunition-Breakdolrn rules, note that as
Repair a Weapon this is an action it finans that the figures can not
move in any movement phase in vhich such an attempt
is made.
Beam Doun Be beamed from a teleport bay to anyuhere on the

it can see over, and be seen over, any hills, ruoods or buildings etc. Figures firing at
it add 50em. to the range.
If the aireraft is ground skimming it is assumed to be no more than 5 metres above the
ground. Woods, Buildings and hills etc. completely block the flne of fire. No modification
is made to the range.
Aircraft may freely change height bands in any move phase they are airboufne.

Note on Flying VehicLes

The best vay to simulate aircraft fliqht is to buy some of the tQT Models' uire Lnd
perspex stands. Using a Imm. bit, drill a hole into the aircraft - it can be stobd on
the stand vhen ih flight, taken off ruhen landed.
If you canrt run to different siezed stands then height markers can be used.

JUMP PACKS
Like normal movement, a jumpack move can be made in either or both of the player,s move-
ment phases. A single jump may be up to the distance given on the follouing chart:-
Wf,
Distance (cmts)
Light infantry 30
Armoured infantry 20
Pover Armoured infantry 15
Dreadnought infantry 15
Imperial Scout jumpack tt0
 Troops may jump over obstacLes. The jump follorus a smooth trajectory - the figure is half
as high as the jump is long at the jumprs mid-point, a quarter as high one or three quar-
ters of the ruay along and so on. So if a figure makes a 20cm. jump he can clear a building
10cm. high if it is at the jump's mid-point.

Jump Limitations and Risks

Troops may not jump out of or into uoods. They may not jump into or out of buildings or
vehicles - other than speeially adapted Seythe Jetcopters. Provided that the Jetcopter
is hoverlng troops may jump out - they make a jump of the normal length and land on the
ground.
If troops jump someuhere they canrt see at the beginning of the movement P\ase (for
example, if they jump over a ruood) there is a risk of accidents. For eabh f,igure jumping
throv 2 D6, and consuLt the folloruing chart:-
CHART M4: Jump Risks

Troop Type Accident Score

L rgn[ L1
Armoured 11
Pouler Armoured 10
Dreadnouoht Armoured 9

If the score is equal to or more than the accident score then that figure has broken his
neck or something and is removed from play.
TELEPORT BAYS
Each bay can beam up to 5 figures or a light vehicle in each move phase. Beaming doun
is very precise and troops are placed anyvhere on the table the player pleases - he may
choose the inside of a building etc.

I
 FIRINE
V'Jhen one of your figures fires at an enemy,
ro11 tvo D6ts and add the tvo scores to-
gether. Nov proceed to Chart Fl and find
ihe section for the ueapon being fired.
Read across the chart to the first column
tuhich gives the ammunition,/breakdoun
number for the ueaPon. If the total
score is to, or louer than this
equal
number then the ueapon has either maI-
functioned or run out of amrnuniti-on -
see ammunition-breakdorvn rules.
If the score is higher, measure the range
and read across on the chart to the
appropriate range band, this gives the
HIT NUMBER. Go the Chart F2 and see if
any of the factors listed apply. If they
do then add or subtract the number shoun.
If your total score is nov equal to or
greater than the hit number then your
shot has hit the target, if it is less
then you've missed.
If you have ecored a hit fihd the ueapon's
IMPACT TYPE urhich is given in the second
to last column on Chart FI. Noru go to seetion
Fl and find the IMPACT TABLE for this veapon
type.. RolI a. further D6 and read across on
this number until you come to your targets
armour type - this gives you the result of
the shot.
AEq!-9E-EIBE

only fire straight ahead, the same

straight ahead

applies to any other bike mounted

u,eapon.

Vehicle fixed mounts are treated in the same uay as bike cannon. Turrets and robot ureapon
pods have complete J50o traverse. /
WEAPON USE
Figures may fire only one ueapon in any given fire phase. Exceptions are:-
Heroes
MultipJ.e ueapon packs on PA or DN troops.
(Several ureapons are strapped to the same arms- you can fire alL on any one arm)
laleapon pods on vehicles- a1l the vehicles ueapons may fire.
Contd.
,

fr -'--
 Hand Flamers - a ueapon that doesntt really need aiming so can
be fire vrong handedly.
Bike cannon - simple fire stud on handLebar grip, so rider may
fire both the cannon and his orun pistol
In all cases throv to hit for each lreapon separately.
T argets
Normally all the ueapons a vehicle or figure fires must be aimed at the same target.
Exceptions are:-
Heroes
Hand Flamers
Robot VJeapon Pods - self training so each may fire independently
Bike Cannon ruith computer control uni.t - again self targeting so
rider may fire seperately.

[,,Jeapon DepLoyment
Machine guns must be deployed before being used. Support Autorangers ruith veapons
carried by Iiqht infantry or armoured infantry must be deployed to give their hit bonus.
Deployment takes an entire move phase, use the counters provided.
It takes no time at all to pick up and move a deployed ueapon but it then must be deployed
again.

The player has throun a total of l0 on his tryo dice so the shot hits.
A Bolt rifle has a'High'impact so go to the High Impact Chart in Fl. The player throus
a D5 and scores a 5 - ruhich is a rkill' against pouer armour.
ldeapons vith Cone Templates
Some ueapons are given the option of using rcone templates', others have to use them.
Place the thin end of the template against the firing figure, urj-th the cone pointing in

SNIPERS RULE AND FOLLObJ ON FIRE

These rules only apply to Snipers, Machine Guns and Laser Cannon.
At ranges over 45cm. if any of these ueapon types score. a hit on any target they are said
io be ion targetr - this means that the gunner has got the range and direction dead on.
Jnce gn-Target the gunner may no!, sruitch to other targets. Any.such target must be ruithin
5em. of the first. io hit this second target the gunner doesnrt fire in the normal uay
:ut just throus a D6. If the seore is a 5 he has hit and can throru again for effect. If
ne hlts this second target he may nou select a lrd. target uhich must be ruithin 5cm. of
t,he secbnd. To hit this he needs to throu a 5 or 5 on a D6. If he hits he throus for
effect . He nou may select a 4th. and final target. This final_target must again be uithin
5cm. of the previous target and to hit he needs to throu a 4, 5 or 6 on a D6.

:xample

The gunner fires in the normal rlay and /\

scores a hit on target A. "Greattt, he gruntst D
I'I'm on-target". He canrt select tarqet D \
as his 2nd. target as itrs too far from A
so he goes instead for target B. He throus
:he D6 and gets a 6. He throrvs for effect c
and mutters t'0.K., still on-target". He
selects C as his 3rd. target and throrvs the
)6 needing a 5 or 5 to hit and staY on-
target. He throrus a l. "Damn" he exclaims,
he is not happy as he has missed and is
therefore no longer on-target and canrt
have a go at D.
lemember that the effect of a shot has no bearing on the on-target rule - all that matters
is ruhether you hit or not.

EIFF.Tff BLE FIRE SUPPDRT
Support may be given to troops in action by Off Table units, either artillery bases,
Starships in 1ou orbit or stand-off aircraft. These are represented as tsupport modules.r.
Any fiqures on the table ruho are equiped ruith a designator may designate any target that
they are in a position to fire on. The figure may then caL-I dovn as many moiu-Les-as are
available. Throv for each on a D6. If the score obtained is a 5 or 5 thln treat the
target as hit by the advanced grenade of your choice.
Designation take place in the fire phase and does not expose the designator for firing
purposes.
0n1y one request may be made on each module per fire phase.

Example An imperialist scout designates an enemy figure. There are 4

moduLes available but another figure has already, unsuccessfully
tried to calL dovn truo of them. The scout therefore throvs for
the remaining tvo getting I 4 and a 5.One request has been
successful so he places any advanced grenade template immediately
over the target and throrus.for impact normall.y.

Troops vho are in cover are C0NCEALED and can not be flred at unless they EXP0SE them-
selves by firing or are picked up by life sensors.
Exposed Troops
Before each fire phase both players, in secret, rurite doun uhich of their concealed units
are going to fire. Such troops get a special FIRST SH0T. This means that vhen they fire,
the casualtise they cause are-removed from play immediately and thus have no chance of
returning fire.0nce all 'first shotsr have been dealt uith the fire phase goes on as
normal.
The troops in cover vho have fired are nou exposed and can be fired on by any enemy.
this fire does not give your position auay permanantly - if you choose not to fire in
the next fire phase you are again concealed and can not be fired at.

,v;'t

Life Sensors
Various sorts of life sensors, including infra-red and ultra violet sights, are fitted
to most lreapons as standard. These a1loru you to see through cover and thus alloru fire on
concealed targets.
Regardless of uhether or not they fired, concealed troops can be fi.red at ruithin the
ranges given belov:-

Ranges at uhich they can
be fired at
Soft Scrub, brush, uoods, crops 15cm
