Talents
Untouchable
An Untouchable has a rating of 1-6 based on the
strength of their ability, the severity of their effect on
psychic creatures and the radius of their powers. Each
rank of the Untouchable ability has four characteris-
tics:
Null Rating: The strength of the Untouchable’s abil-
ity. This is added to the Untouchable’s Willpower bo-
nus to give the total modifier to many tests. The total of
the Null Rating added to the Untouchable’s Willpower
bonus is referred to as the Null Modifier.
Disruption Radius: The upper radius of the Un-
touchable’s abilities. Within this radius, Psykers find
their abilities much harder to call upon.
Protection Radius: The inner radius of the Un-
touchable’s abilities where they become much stronger.
Most creatures find the Untouchable unnerving, while
some are physically repulsed by their abilities.
Fellowship Penalty: This number is the penalty ap-
plied to all Fellowship tests taken by the psyker when
dealing with someone without the Untouchable trait
within their Protection radius. The modifier can never
reduce an Untouchable’s fellowship below 5.

Sisters of Silence
Untouchable Rules
Any Daemon or Tyranid attempting to detect the Un-
touchable must take an immediate Willpower test with
a penalty of the Null Modifier. If the test is failed they
are unaware of the Untouchable unless it attacks them.
A Daemon or Psyker attempting to move within the
Untouchable’s Protection Radius (or 1m, if the protec-
tion radius is 0) must take a Willpower test with a pen-
alty of the Null Modifier. If the test is failed, they must
stop at the edge of this radius and may not attempt to
move within it for the rest of the turn.
Effects on Psychic Powers
An Untouchable’s main effect is the disruption of psy-
chic powers. Any psyker attempting to use a power on
the Untouchable or a target within the Untouchable’s
Protection Radius increases the threshold of their pow-
er by the Null Modifier
If the psyker is within the Disruption radius, the
threshold of all their powers is increased by two (this is
cumulative with the above rule, so a Psyker within the
Disruption radius, using a power on the Untouchable
adds the Null Modifier+2 to their Threshold)
Nulls and Tyranids
Untouchables disrupt the hive mind throughout the
area of their psychic suppression aura. Tyranid or-
ganisms instinctively avoid such areas and will not
enter unless desperate, starving, or ordered to do so
by a higher order hive organism. A tyranid organ-
ism needs to make a Willpower check penalized by
the Null Rating in order to willingly enter the dis-
ruption zone of an Untouchable.
Once inside the disruption zone, a tyranid organism
becomes a confused animal, cut off from directing
intelligence. It must make a Willpower test penal-
ized by the Null Rating every round or be treated as
stunned. If it succeeds it takes a penalty on all of its
actions equal to the Untouchable’s Null Rating.
None of these rules apply to organisms that can op-
erate independently of the hive mind such as gen-
estealers or lictors.

Jump Pack
The Jump Pack is part of the standard kit that Rap-
tors carry. The jump pack allow Raptors to quickly
cross the battlefield and to engage enemies. The stats
and movement rates for jump packs remain the same
for all models of jump packs produced by the Adeptus
Mechanicus.
Rules
A jump pack grants the Flyer trait to the character. Due
to the design of the jump pack the character can only
achieve Low Altitude for movements up to Full Move.
High Altitude can only be achieved for Charge and As-
sault moves. A character using a jump pack can stay in
the air for three rounds of movement. At the end of the
third movement phase the character must land or suffer
falling damage. The heavy armored design grants an
AP of 8 for any attacks coming from behind the char-
acter that hit the body location.
Sisters of Silence
Jump packs can only fly in a straight line without incur-
ring a penalty. Changing direction in mid-flight suffers
a penalty based upon the movement of the character.
Acrobatic maneuvers also incur a penalty based upon
the movement of the character.
A character landing into the equivalent of Light Woods
incurs a -10 to a Pilot (Jump Pack) Test and landing
into the equivalent of Heavy Woods incurs a -20 pen-
alty. Failure of the Test results in the character taking
damage as per landing into buildings or impassable ter-
rain. Landing into a building or other impassable ter-
rain causes damage to the character upon impact. Refer
to the Movement, Maneuvers, and Collision Damage
Table to figure the damage based upon the speed of the
character. The damage incurred is not softened by the
armor of the character and takes the full damage listed.
