Inquisitorial Agents

STRATEGIC GAMBIT if this operative is in the killzone and/or when this operative is activated. Select one of the following INQUISITORIAL TOME rules for this operative to have, and one for a friendly INQUISITORIAL AGENT TOME-SKULL operative to have (they can be the same, and ignore the rule you didn’t select for each operative):

• Denunciation: Whenever a friendly INQUISITORIAL AGENT operative is shooting against, fighting against or retaliating against an enemy operative within 2" of friendly operatives with this rule, add 1 to the Atk stat of that friendly operative’s weapons.
• Sanctification: Whenever an enemy operative is shooting against, fighting against or retaliating against a friendly INQUISITORIAL AGENT operative within 2" of friendly operatives with this rule, subtract 1 from the Atk stat of that enemy operative’s weapons.

This operative can have an INQUISITORIAL TOME rule (see INTERROGATOR). Note it keeps that rule even if that friendly INTERROGATOR operative is removed from the killzone.

This operative is ignored for your opponent’s kill/elimination op (when it’s incapacitated, and when determining your starting number of operatives). It’s also ignored for victory conditions and scoring VPs if either require operatives to ‘escape’, ‘survive’ or be incapacitated by enemy operative (if it escapes/survives/is incapacitated, determining how many operatives must escape/survive/be incapacitated, etc.).

• This operative cannot perform any actions other than Charge, Dash, Fall Back and Reposition.
• It cannot retaliate or assist in a fight.
• Whenever determining control of a marker, treat this operative’s APL stat as 1 lower. Note this isn’t a change to its APL stat, so any changes are cumulative with this.
• Whenever this operative has a Conceal order and is in cover, it cannot be selected as a valid target, taking precedence over all other rules (e.g. Seek, Vantage terrain) except being within 2".

Whenever this operative is expended, you must then activate a ready friendly INQUISITORIAL AGENT INTERROGATOR operative (if able) before your opponent activates. The same is true in reverse (INTERROGATOR followed by TOME-SKULL). When that other operative is expended, your opponent then activates as normal.

Each subsequent time your opponent uses each ploy during the battle (excluding Command Re-roll), if this operative is in the killzone, you gain 1CP (to a maximum of 2CP per turning point).

This operative cannot use any weapons that aren’t on its datacard, or perform unique actions.

Whenever this operative contests an objective marker or one of your mission markers, it always controls that marker. This takes precedence over all other rules.

If this operative is incapacitated while fighting or retaliating, you can strike the enemy operative in that sequence with one of your unresolved successes before it’s removed from the killzone.

Whenever an attack dice inflicts damage of 3 or more on this operative, roll one D6: on a 5+, subtract 1 from that inflicted damage.

This operative can perform the Charge action while it has a Conceal order.

Once per turning point, when this operative is fighting or retaliating, in the Resolve Attack Dice step, you can ignore the damage inflicted on it from one normal success.

Whenever an enemy operative would perform the Fall Back action while within control range of this operative, you can use this rule. If you do, roll one D6, subtracting 1 from the result if that enemy operative has a higher Wounds stat than this operative, and adding 1 if that enemy operative is wounded: on a 4+, that enemy operative cannot perform that action during that activation/counteraction (the AP spent on it isn’t refunded).

Whenever an enemy operative is incapacitated within this operative’s control range, you gain 1CP.

Whenever this operative is activated, if it’s visible to and within 3" of another friendly INQUISITORIAL AGENT operative (excluding GUN SERVITOR) or vice versa, add 1 to this operative’s APL stat until the end of that activation.

Whenever an enemy operative is visible to and within 6" of this operative, your opponent cannot re-roll their attack or defence dice for that operative.

Whenever determining control of a marker, treat this operative’s APL stat as 1 higher. Note this isn’t a change to its APL stat, so any changes are cumulative with this.

This operative cannot use any weapons that aren’t on its datacard.

You can ignore any changes to this operative’s APL stat, and any changes to its stats from being injured. This operative isn’t affected by enemy operatives’ Shock and Stun weapon rules.

Whenever this operative is shooting against, fighting against or retaliating against a wounded enemy operative, this operative’s weapons have the Relentless weapon rule.

You can ignore any changes to the Hit stat of this operative’s ranged weapons.

PSYCHIC ranged weapons cannot inflict damage on this operative. For the effects of PSYCHIC actions, this operative cannot be selected and is never treated as being within those actions’ required distances. Whenever an operative is within 6" of this operative:

• That operative cannot perform PSYCHIC actions or use PSYCHIC additional rules.
• That operative cannot use PSYCHIC ranged weapons.
• PSYCHIC melee weapons have no weapon rules and cannot have Dmg stats higher than 3/4.

PSYCHIC ranged weapons cannot inflict damage on this operative. For the effects of PSYCHIC actions, this operative cannot be selected and is never treated as being within those actions’ required distances. Whenever an operative is within 6" of this operative:

• That operative cannot perform PSYCHIC actions or use PSYCHIC additional rules.
• That operative cannot use PSYCHIC ranged weapons.
• PSYCHIC melee weapons have no weapon rules and cannot have Dmg stats higher than 3/4.

PSYCHIC ranged weapons cannot inflict damage on this operative. For the effects of PSYCHIC actions, this operative cannot be selected and is never treated as being within those actions’ required distances. Whenever an operative is within 6" of this operative:

• That operative cannot perform PSYCHIC actions or use PSYCHIC additional rules.
• That operative cannot use PSYCHIC ranged weapons.
• PSYCHIC melee weapons have no weapon rules and cannot have Dmg stats higher than 3/4.

The first time during each turning point that another friendly INQUISITORIAL AGENT operative would be incapacitated while visible to and within 3" of this operative, you can use this rule, providing neither this nor that operative is within control range of an enemy operative. If you do, that friendly operative isn’t incapacitated, has 1 wound remaining and cannot be incapacitated for the remainder of the action. After that action, that friendly operative can then immediately perform a free Dash action, but must end that move within this operative’s control range. Subtract 1 from this and that operative’s APL stats until the end of their next activations respectively, and if this rule was used during that friendly operative’s activation, that activation ends. You cannot use this rule if this operative is incapacitated, or if it’s a Shoot action and this operative would be a primary or secondary target.

You can do each of the following once per turning point:

• One friendly INQUISITORIAL AGENT TEMPESTUS SCION TROOPER operative can perform the Smoke Grenade action.
• One friendly INQUISITORIAL AGENT TEMPESTUS SCION TROOPER operative can perform the Stun Grenade action.

The rules for these actions are found in universal equipment. Performing these actions using this rule doesn’t count towards their action limits (i.e. if you also select those grenades from equipment).
