Warpcoven

During each friendly WARPCOVEN HERETIC ASTARTES operative’s activation, it can perform either two Shoot actions or two Fight actions. If it’s two Shoot actions and a soulreaper cannon or a warpflamer is selected for both, 1 additional AP must be spent for the second action. You cannot select the same PSYCHIC ranged weapon more than once per activation.

Each friendly WARPCOVEN HERETIC ASTARTES operative can counteract regardless of its order.

Roll two D6 and reserve them (put them to one side). In the following Firefight phase, whenever an operative is shooting, fighting or retaliating, after you or your opponent roll their attack dice, but before re-rolls, you can use one of your reserved dice to replace one of the D6 rolled for that sequence (yours or your opponent's); that replacement dice cannot be re-rolled or retained as a success or critical success if it’s not, and is discarded at the end of that sequence. Then, if the combined result of both reserved dice was less than 9, discard the other dice. You cannot use more than one reserved dice per sequence. Discard any remaining reserved dice at the end of the turning point.

Friendly WARPCOVEN TZAANGOR operatives’ melee weapons have the Accurate 1 weapon rule. Whenever a friendly WARPCOVEN TZAANGOR operative is assisted by a friendly WARPCOVEN operative, or is fighting while visible to and within 6" of a friendly WARPCOVEN SORCERER operative, that friendly WARPCOVEN TZAANGOR operative's melee weapons also have the Severe weapon rule.

Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly WARPCOVEN operative, weapons with the Piercing 1 weapon rule have the Piercing Crits 1 weapon rule instead.

Use this firefight ploy when an attack dice inflicts Normal Dmg on a friendly WARPCOVEN RUBRIC MARINE operative. That attack dice inflicts 1 damage instead.

Use this firefight ploy at the end of a friendly WARPCOVEN SORCERER operative’s activation. That friendly operative can immediately perform a free Dash action (even if it’s performed an action that prevents it from performing the Dash action), or you can change its order instead.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly WARPCOVEN SORCERER operative is activated. Select one other friendly WARPCOVEN SORCERER operative visible to and within 9" of that operative, then select one of that other friendly operative's PSYCHIC unique actions or PSYCHIC ranged weapons for that first friendly operative to have until the end of its activation. You cannot select a PSYCHIC ranged weapon that has been used by that other friendly operative during this turning point, and that other friendly operative cannot use the selected weapon during this turning point.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly WARPCOVEN TZAANGOR operative is activated. Select one other ready friendly WARPCOVEN TZAANGOR operative visible to and within 2" of it to activate at the same time. Complete their activations action by action in any order.

Once per battle, when a friendly WARPCOVEN SORCERER operative is activated or counteracts, you can select a different BOON OF TZEENTCH for it to have until the end of the battle (it loses any it previously had). It cannot be the same BOON OF TZEENTCH any other friendly operative has. Note that if you use this rule when a friendly operative counteracts and you select Echoes from the Warp, it can be used immediately to change the operative’s order and perform a free action during that counteraction.

Once per turning point, whenever an attack dice would inflict Critical Dmg on a friendly WARPCOVEN SORCERER operative, you can use this rule. If you do, that attack dice inflicts Normal Dmg instead.

Friendly WARPCOVEN operatives’ inferno boltguns, inferno bolt pistols and autopistols have the Devastating 1 weapon rule.

Add 1 to the Atk stat of friendly WARPCOVEN RUBRIC MARINE operatives’ melee weapons. Whenever a friendly WARPCOVEN RUBRIC MARINE operative is retaliating, its melee weapons have the Accurate 1 weapon rule.

Having an enemy operative within this operative's control range doesn’t prevent it from performing the Pick Up Marker or mission actions. Once per activation, this operative can perform the Pick Up Marker, Place Marker or a mission action for 1 less AP.

This operative’s PSYCHIC ranged weapons have the Piercing Crits 1 weapon rule.

Select one of this operative's PSYCHIC ranged weapons. That weapon has the Devastating 1 weapon rule. If you select a doombolt, it has the 2" Devastating 2 weapon rule instead of Devastating 2. If you select firestorm or mindburn (SORCERER OF WARPFIRE), whenever that operative performs the Shoot action, select the Seek Light or Devastating 1 weapon rule for that weapon to have until the end of the action (it cannot have both).

Add 3" to the distance requirements of this operative’s PSYCHIC actions that have a distance requirement. Note that for the SORCERER OF TEMPYRION’s Temporal Flux action, this boon only affects the distance in the first effect of that rule.

Once per battle, when you counteract with this operative, you can change its order, and it can perform an additional 1AP action for free during that counteraction, but both actions must be different.

Add 1" to this operative’s Move stat.

This operative’s ranged weapons have the Saturate weapon rule. Whenever this operative is shooting, enemy operatives cannot be obscured.

Add 1 to the Normal Dmg stat of this operative’s melee weapons.

Q: For the Psychic Cabal firefight ploy, does the SORCERER operative also gain any benefits the other SORCERER operative has from the Boons of Tzeentch faction rule (e.g. Twist of Fate)?

A: No.
