Over the following pages you will find a selection
of rules for Spec Ops campaigns in which
you have selected HUNTER CLADEC as your
Faction keyword. Fixated: The flrst time you roll attack dice for this operative in
each battle, if you do not roll any critical hits, you can select one
successful normal hit to be retained as a critical hit instead. That

B[IIlt [01t0UR$ retained hrt cannot cause any further critical hits to be retained
(e.9. as a result of the Rending critical hit rule).

Each time a HUNTER CLADET operative gains a

Battle Honour, instead of determining one from
its specialism, you can determine one from the
Hunter Clade Specialist table on the right. You
can either roll one D6 to randomly determine the
Battle Honour (re+olling if it isn't suitable), or you
can select an appropriate one. As with any Battle
Honour, an operative cannot have the same one
more than once (if a duplicate result is rolled, roll
again until a different result is rolled).
Faith in the Machine: Each time this operative is activated,
you can ignore any or all modifiers to its APL.
Blessed Components: You can re-roll Recovery tests taken for
this operative.
Enhansed Bionics: Each time this operative would lose a
wound, roll one D6: on a 6, that wound is not lost.
Consecrated Cybernetics: At the start of each Fireflght
phase, roll one D6 for this operative: on a 4+, this operative is
not affected by the Deprecation effect of your active lmperative
(ps 60).

Autonomic Cortex Once per battle, when this operative is

activated, you can use the Command Ovenide Tactical Ploy (pg
61) without spending any CPs.

your stash cannot include more than one of each item (if a duplicate result is rolled, roll again until a different result is rolled).

the list below instead of selecting one from another source. As with any strategic asset, you can never have more than one of each.

Before battle, the Skitarii of this kill team chant a binharic
psalm. This triggers a microrelease of their own motive
force, which interacts with chemicals in the air to creote o
shimmering veil of flashes, obscuring them from view.
During the firstTurning Point, when determining if a friendly
HUNTER CLADEC operative is in an enemy operative's Line of
Sight, if that friendly operative is more than I from that enemy
operative, that friendly operative is treated as being in Cover.
This kill team's base of operotions is fitted with sophisticated
data-gathering systems. Additionally, they have remote
occess to augur feeds on ollied stations, providing o detqiled
understanding of the surrounding area, which is essentiol on
their hunts.
When determining your Tac Ops for each battle, you can select
two from one draw, instead of one. Note that you can still only
select a total of three Tac Ops for each battle.

ffP[M RIPI$IIIRY
This large, archaic device hos a mysterious provenance and
is made of components that cannot be replaced. Provided a
wounded operutive is patient enough, the repository will repair
any damage to their bionics.

Once after each battle, before rolling a Recovery test for a

friendly HUNTER CLADEC operative, if that operative was
Rested, you can automatically pass that Recovery test.

ln a Spec Ops campaign, if your faction is HUNTEB CtADEt, you can use the following Requisitions in addition to those
presented in other publications.

ARCHEOTECH VAULT (1RP) ]YIARK ASSIGNED (1RP)

The headquarters of this kill team's Tech-Priest masters
contains o vault of rare ond powerful equipment. These can
be assigned to designated units who have earned the right to
carry such artefocts.
Purchase this Requisition before or after a game. Remove one
item of rare equipment from your stash and add a different
item of rare equipment to your stash. You cannot purchase
this Requisition if you do not have any rarc equipment in
your stash.
RECYCLED (ORP)
A damaged or ineffective operative is decommissioned and
their bionics used for parts.
Purchase this Requisition when a HUNTEB CIADEt operative
is removed from your dataslate. Add up the number of ranks
that operative had (e.9. a Criuled operative has 4 ranks) and
subtract the number of Battle Scars that operative had. You
gain a number of Requisition points equal to the difference.
Hunter Clades are expert assassins, often deployed to hunt
their targets relentlessly in order to eliminate them, thus
removing a cruciol element of the enemy's war effort.
Purchase this Requisition before or after a game. Select
one operative type (e.9. Kommando Snipa Boy, Marksman
Pathfinder etc.) to be marked for your kill team, and make a
note of it in the Notes section ofyour dataslate. Each time a
friendly HUNTER CLADEC operative frghts in combat or makes
a shooting attack, if the target is marked for your kill team,
you can re-roll one of your attack dice. lf an enemy operative
marked for your kill team is incapacitated by a friendly
HUNTEB CLADEC operative, that friendly operative gains 2XP
and that enemy operative is no longer marked for your kill
team. You cannot use this Requisition if you already have an
operative marked for your kill team, but you can choose for an
operative to be no longer marked for your kill team in order to
use this Requisition.
