During the battle, which ability those LEAGUES OF VOTANN units have will change depending on how many Yield points (YP) you currently have: ▪ At the start of the battle, your units have Hostile Acquisition until the start of your next Command phase. ▪ At the end of your Command phase, if you have fewer than 7YP, your units have Hostile Acquisition until the start of your next Command phase. ▪ At the end of your Command phase, if you have 7YP or more, your units have Fortify Takeover until the start of your next Command phase. Hostile Acquisition ▪ Each time a model in this unit makes an attack that targets an enemy unit within range of one or more objective markers, add 1 to the Hit roll. ▪ You can re-roll **Advance** and **Charge rolls** made for this unit. Fortify Takeover ▪ Each time a model in this unit makes an attack that targets an enemy unit, if this unit is within range of one or more objective markers you control, add 1 to the Hit roll. ▪ Each time an attack targets this unit, if the Strength characteristic of that attack is greater than this unit’s Toughness characteristic and this unit is not a VEHICLE, subtract 1 from the Wound roll. Yield Points At the end of each player’s Command phase, you gain 1YP if you control one or more objective markers within your deployment zone, and, from the second battle round onwards, you gain 1 additional YP for each of the following conditions you satisfy: ▪ You control one or more objective markers not within your deployment zone. ▪ You control two or more objective markers not within your deployment zone. ▪ You control more objective markers than your opponent. In your turn, YP gained in this way are always gained before checking which ability LEAGUES OF VOTANN units from your army have. Whenever a rule allows you to spend YP, reduce the number of YP you have by that amount (your YP cannot go below 0), otherwise you cannot use that rule. **Designer’s Note:** This means you can use rules that let you gain or spend YP to influence which ability your units have - Hostile Acquisition or Fortify Takeover - depending on which will be most beneficial to you. Remember that your army only changes ability at the end of your Command phase, so you will - sometimes need to plan ahead if you want your army to stay in or change ability. **Example:** In her third turn, Freida’s units had the Hostile Acquisition ability, as she had 6YP at the end of her Command phase. In her fourth turn, at the end of her Command phase, she controls one objective marker within her deployment zone, and one objective marker not within her deployment zone, and her opponent controls two objective markers. Freida gains 2YP, so she now has 8YP, and her units now have the Fortify Takeover ability instead. During her turn, Freida uses a Stratagem that allows her to spend YP. She spends 2YP, bringing her total down to 6YP. However, units from her army still have Fortify Takeover - it will only change if, at the end of her next Command phase, she still has fewer than 7YP. 59 stratagems ## Detachments Each detachment's own rules, then the stratagems it unlocks. ## Armoured Trailblazers 3 stratagems ### Sagitaur Spearhead Scouting out the foe’s positions and performing reconnaissance in force, speeding Sagitaurs lead the armoured charge of the Kin. Friendly SAGITAUR units have **Scouts 6"**. 1 CP Your turn ### COORDINATED CROSSFIRE Shooting With their quarry caught outflanked and in the open, the Sagitaurs’ gunners coordinate fire to pick them apart with swift efficiency.

Effect Your units each make an **ingress move**. 1 CP Opponent's turn ### BUILT TO LAST Shooting · Fight Intended to shrug off the worst punishment by hostile alien environments, not to mention the hostile aliens themselves, Sagitaurs can withstand remarkable quantities of enemy fire. When Your opponent’s Shooting phase, when an enemy unit targets a friendly SAGITAUR unit. Target That SAGITAUR unit. Effect Ranged attacks that target your unit with a **S** greater than your unit’s **T** have -1 to **wound rolls**. ## Brandfast Oathband 6 stratagems ### Mobile Sensor Relays The massed armoured transports of a brandfast oathband connect to an encrypted data network shared by squads of Kin. Their robust sensor webs broadcast various targeting information and extrapolated judgements on enemy movements. Nearby warriors can tap into this wealth of data, enabling them to unleash salvoes of lethal efficiency. LEAGUES OF VOTANN TRANSPORT units from your army have the following ability: **Firebase Control (Aura):** While a friendly LEAGUES OF VOTANN INFANTRY unit is wholly within 6" of this TRANSPORT, ranged weapons equipped by models in that INFANTRY unit have the \[sustained hits 1\] ability. 1 CP Strategic Ploy Either turn ### SECURE POSITIONS Any phase While there are resources to secure, the Kin will seize any opportunity to effect a rapid and ordered deployment to establish defensive positions. When End of any of your phases. Target One LEAGUES OF VOTANN TRANSPORT unit from your army. Effect One LEAGUES OF VOTANN unit embarked within your TRANSPORT can disembark. When doing so, models in that unit can be set up anywhere on the battlefield wholly within 6" of your TRANSPORT. That unit cannot declare a charge in the same turn, but can otherwise act normally in the remainder of the turn. 1 CP Battle Tactic Your turn ### BASTION RUNNING Movement A Hekaton Land Fortress can be temporarily rigged by its crew for bastion running.

Effect Until the end of the phase, each time your unit makes a **Normal** or **Advance move**, it can move horizontally through terrain features. 1 CP Wargear Your turn ### ILLUMINATED PRIORITY Shooting Using specialised beam emission signatures, multispectral ammunition, or broadcasting targeting data, the gunnery crews of Kin war engines can signify priority targets for their comrades.

Until the end of the phase, each time a LEAGUES OF VOTANN INFANTRY model from your army makes an attack that targets that enemy unit, re-roll a Hit roll of 1. 1 CP Strategic Ploy Your turn ### INEXORABLE EFFICIENCY Shooting With the wealth of sensor-wrought information they can access, the Kin can efficiently adapt fighting withdrawals into deadly counterattacks.

Effect Until the end of the phase, your unit is eligible to shoot in a turn in which it Fell Back. 1 CP Strategic Ploy Opponent's turn ### OPPORTUNISTIC ESCALATION Shooting Even amid heavy incoming fire, the crew of a kinhost's lighter vehicles can make rapid manoeuvres to exploit sudden openings.

Effect Each time you use this Stratagem, you can spend 2YP. Select one friendly KAPRICUS or SAGITAUR unit within 6" of your INFANTRY unit. If you spent YP during this use of this Stratagem, you can select one friendly HEKATON LAND FORTRESS unit within 6" of your INFANTRY unit instead. The selected unit can shoot as if it were your Shooting phase. When doing so, models in the selected unit can only target that enemy unit (and only if it is an eligible target). ## Dêlve Assault Shift 6 stratagems ### Fury From The Dêlve Efficiency and practicality are ingrained in all Kin. Thus, the most meagre of Cthonian dêlves are well-equipped networks of passages, accessways and teleport nodes that enable a guild's bionically altered elites to appear where the foe least expects them. They emerge saturated with cyberstimulants and full of fury, ready to smash asunder those who dare trespass amongst their guild’s operations. CTHONIAN BESERKS units from your army have the **Deep Strike** ability. **KEYWORDS** CTHONIAN BESERKS units from your army gain the BATTLELINE keyword. 1 CP Battle Tactic Either turn ### CYBERSTIMM INFUSION Fight The subdermal shunts of Cthonian Beserks can flood their bodies with stimulant chemicals.

When Fight phase. Target One LEAGUES OF VOTANN unit from your army that has not been selected to fight this phase. Effect Until the end of the phase, each time your unit Piles In or Consolidates, each model in that unit can move up to 6" instead of up to 3". 1 CP Strategic Ploy Your turn ### AUGMENTED ASSAULT Movement The profusion of bionic augmentations that Beserks possess can grant them a burst of incredible speed, one that can drive them - a guttural war song on their lips - into their reeling foes like a meteor. When Your Movement phase. Target One CTHONIAN BESERKS unit from your army that has not been selected to move this phase. Effect Each time you use this Stratagem, you can spend up to 2YP. Until the end of the turn, add X" to the Move characteristic of models in your unit, where X is the number of YP you spent during this use of this Stratagem, and your unit is eligible to declare a charge in a turn in which it Advanced. 1 CP Strategic Ploy Your turn ### TECTONIC FRACTURE Shooting Skilled Cthonian gunners can initiate localised quakes and pressure waves of such intensity that foes struggle to retain their impetus. When Your Shooting phase, just after a CTHONIAN EARTHSHAKERS unit from your army has shot. Target That CTHONIAN EARTHSHAKERS unit. Effect Each time you use this Stratagem, you can spend 2YP. Select one enemy unit hit by one or more of your unit’s attacks this phase.

Target One LEAGUES OF VOTANN INFANTRY unit from your army that was selected as the target of one or more of the attacking unit’s attacks. Effect Until the end of the phase, each time an attack targets your unit, subtract 1 from the Wound roll. 1 CP Strategic Ploy Opponent's turn ### HIDDEN ACCESSWAYS Fight A guild’s elite can swiftly reenter the dêlve’s labyrinth, slipping into an artfully hidden tunnel or activating site-to-site teleports, ready to attack elsewhere at a moment's notice. When End of your opponent’s Fight phase. Target One CTHONIAN BESERKS, HEARTHKYN WARRIORS or HERNKYN YAEGIRS unit from your army that is not within Engagement Range of one or more enemy units. Effect Remove your unit from the battlefield and place it into **Strategic Reserves**. ## Farseekers 3 stratagems ### Eye of the Hunt Combining scanning and targeting functions for maximum efficiency, the Hernkyn guide fire unerringly down on their targets. Friendly HERNKYN units’ ranged attacks that target a unit within 12" have +1 to **hit rolls**. 1 CP Your turn ### SCORNFUL ANALYSIS Shooting Casting a jaundiced eye over the so-called fortifications of their foes, the Hernkyn quickly identify weak spots in the enemy defences and spread the word to their comrades.

Effect Your unit’s ranged attacks have \[LETHAL HITS\]. 1 CP Opponent's turn ### ECONOMY OF MOTION Movement Pioneers operate in great peril behind hostile lines so often that it becomes second nature to respond with alacrity and cunning to the slightest scraps of intelligence on enemy movements.

Effect Your unit can make a **normal move** of up to D3+3". ## Hearthband 6 stratagems ### Methodical Annihilation With their minds entirely focused on the singular mission with which they have been charged, the Kin work to blast a path through the enemy lines with the same tenacity as a Brôkhyr beating metal or a Cthonian miner splitting bedrock. Each time a LEAGUES OF VOTANN model from your army makes an attack with a weapon that targets the closest eligible target or a target that is within Engagement Range of that model’s unit: ▪ Re-roll a Wound roll of 1. ▪ If your unit is a KÂHL, EINHYR HEARTHGUARD or ÛTHAR THE DESTINED unit, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1. 1 CP Battle Tactic Either turn ### BRËKKEKNOTS Shooting These micro shield generators, worked into warrior jewellery or armour crests, trigger on command to provide short-lived boosted protection.

When Your Movement phase, just after a LEAGUES OF VOTANN INFANTRY unit from your army Falls Back. Target That LEAGUES OF VOTANN INFANTRY unit. Effect Until the end of the turn, your unit is eligible to shoot and declare a charge in a turn in which it Fell Back. 1 CP Strategic Ploy Your turn ### MATERIALISATION MATRICES Movement Built to a superior standard using secrets imparted by the Votann, the teleporters employed by this Hearthband can stabilise rematerialisation fields remarkably close to the foe.

Effect Until the end of the phase, each time an attack targets your unit, if the Strength characteristic of that attack is greater than the Toughness characteristic of your unit, subtract 1 from the Wound roll. 1 CP Battle Tactic Your turn ### PAN-SPECTRAL VISUALISER Shooting These advanced sets of helm optics pierce veils both technological and sorcerous, laying the foe bare.

When doing so, your unit must end that move as close as possible to the closest objective marker. ## Hearthguard Covenant 3 stratagems ### Avatars of the Ancestors Shouldering the greatest responsibility for achieving victory, the elites of the Hearthband fight hardest of all to defeat and destroy their foes.

They are nonetheless acquisitively motivated. Where it benefits them, they will not hesitate to spend ammunition, energy, information or any other resource secured in advance from their paymasters if doing so will reap prizes of greater value. Your LEAGUES OF VOTANN units do not have the Hostile Acquisition or Fortify Takeover abilities except as described in this rule. At the start of the battle, your LEAGUES OF VOTANN units have the Hostile Acquisition ability. At the end of your Command phase, you can spend 3YP. If you do, LEAGUES OF VOTANN units from your army lose the Hostile Acquisition ability and gain the Fortify Takeover ability, or vice versa. 1 CP Strategic Ploy Either turn ### AUXILIARY CONTRACT Shooting · Fight Mercenary Kin are no strangers to working more than one seam of wealth at once, and extra contracts to slay or capture individuals or to gather specific trophies can be highly profitable. When Your Shooting phase or the Fight phase. Target One LEAGUES OF VOTANN INFANTRY or LEAGUES OF VOTANN MOUNTED unit from your army that has not been selected to shoot or fight this phase. Effect Until the end of the phase, weapons equipped by models in your unit have the \[PRECISION\] ability. 1 CP Wargear Either turn ### OPTIMAL EXPENDITURE Fight By expending energy reserves, the Kin’s close-quarter weapons thrum with forgewrought power. The allotment of such resources sees their wielders determined to make every blow strike true. When The Fight phase. Target One LEAGUES OF VOTANN INFANTRY unit from your army that has not been selected to fight this phase. Effect Each time you use this Stratagem, you can spend 3YP. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in your unit makes an attack, re-roll a Hit roll of 1 and re-roll a Wound roll of 1. If you spent YP during this usage of this Stratagem, you can re-roll a Hit roll of 1 and re-roll the Wound roll instead. 1 CP Strategic Ploy Your turn ### GRAND ARTIFICE Movement Unfazed by deception where it serves a practical use, Kin privateers willingly effect a seemingly ragged retreat only to turn back into the fight from a more advantageous position the moment they are clear of the mire of foes. When Your Movement phase, just after a LEAGUES OF VOTANN unit from your army Falls Back. Target That LEAGUES OF VOTANN unit. Effect Until the end of the turn, your unit is eligible to shoot and declare a charge in a turn in which it Fell Back. 1 CP Wargear Your turn ### PRIVATEER ARSENAL Shooting Confident their use will turn the tide, the Kin draw on personal caches of munitions, power cells bearing the signatures of acclaimed Brôkhyr or heirloom augurs to unleash a potent fusillade into the foe. When Your Shooting phase. Target One LEAGUES OF VOTANN INFANTRY unit from your army that has not been selected to shoot this phase. Effect Each time you use this Stratagem, you can spend 3YP. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in your unit makes an attack, re-roll a Hit roll of 1 and re-roll a Wound roll of 1. If you spent YP during this usage of this Stratagem, you can re-roll the Hit roll and re-roll a Wound roll of 1 instead. 1 CP Strategic Ploy Opponent's turn ### NEW HORIZONS Fight Efficient and eager to stake their next claim, the Kin are ready to board their transports at a moment’s notice to reach fresh prizes. When End of your opponent’s Fight phase. Target One LEAGUES OF VOTANN INFANTRY unit from your army that is not within Engagement range of one or more enemy units and one friendly TRANSPORT it is able to embark within. Effect If your LEAGUES OF VOTANN unit is wholly within 6" of that TRANSPORT, it can embark within it. 1 CP Strategic Ploy Opponent's turn ### MOBILE EXPLOITATION Fight The Hernkyn of mercenary oathbands are swift to outflank and outmanoeuvre the enemy, seeking avenues by which to punish any vulnerability as well as scouting for new sources of wealth. When End of your opponent’s Fight phase. Target One HERNKYN unit from your army that is not within Engagement Range of one or more enemy units. Alternatively, you can spend 2YP and target up to two HERNKYN units from your army that are not within Engagement Range of one or more enemy units instead. Effect Remove your units from the battlefield and place them into **Strategic Reserves**. ## Needgaârd Oathband 6 stratagems ### Martial Leverage The weighing of costs in Kin lives and materiel expended against prospective material benefits is an instinct amongst kinhost commanders. Those who lead needgaârd oathbands leverage the deaths of their foes into these equations at every opportunity.
