KILLZONE
Special Operations:
Using This Book
This Book is the companion guide to the core rules alterations found in the man Special Operations Killzome book. This is intended to be a living document, which outlines which units in the Games Workshop Warhammer 40,000 Codices can be used within the Killzone ruleset.
This book cannot be used without a copy of the codex you wish to build your Killzone Special Operations Group for. You should use the Army entry in conjunction with the Codex to select, arm and assemble your Special Operation: Killzone forces. A little basic math skill will be required to figure out some individual points costs.
This can usually be accomplished by dividing the Codex Entry Points Value by the number of troops in the Unit. However in some cases a little more creativity will be required.
For example a Marine Tactical squad sergeants cost is determined by subtracting the cost of the 4
standard marines from the squads base cost. So the cost for the Marine sergeant is 26 points. (90-64=26)
Each team has a 175-250 point limit and can contain anywhere between 5 to 20 models in total.
It is important to note that teams purchase individual models from the Elite, Troops, Fast Attack and Heavy Support unit selections in their codex. No HQ units are allowed.
Also, here is no minimum number of models to unlock special or heavy weapons options. For example you could take 2 Tactical Squad members and arm one with a Multi Melta and the other with a flamer.
You may only take one squad leader upgrade for each unit choice taken and only after you take one member from the squad entry. You may not take a second squad leader choice for a unit type more than once.
Team Restrictions:
A team may contain no more than 4 special ranged weapons upgrades; only two may be a heavy weapon upgrade. (Special Ranged weapons upgrades are the ones that can only be taken in a limited number. Ranged weapons upgrades that all models in a squad may take do not count toward this limit.
For example Marine Scouts can upgrade every model to carry a sniper rifle or shotgun; these upgrades are not limited by this rule. (Pistol upgrades do not fall under these restrictions.)
No vehicles are allowed with the exception of a single Walker per team and only if they have an armor
rating of 33 or less. Armor rating is determined by adding the 3 armor values (FA/SA/RA) for your vehicle together. A team member may not have more than 3 wounds.
A team may contain no more than two models with 2+ armor saves. A team may contain no more than two models with 3+ invulnerable saves. A team may contain no more than two models with Jump Packs.
A team may contain no more than two bike, jetbike or cavalry models. A team member may not have a toughness statistic greater than five. Models listed as Unique in their unit composition may not be used.
A few of the proceeding restrictions can be lifted by purchasing the appropriate ‘Theme’ upgrade listed In the Special Operations: Killzone core rulebook.
Team Leader: Pick one model from your team to be the team leader, preferably the model with the highest
leadership. All models within 6 inches may test on his leadership. This model gains +1 wound if he only has one in his base stats; if the model has more than one wound already it gains +1 attack instead.

Acts
Hand of the Emperor
Praying to the Emperor to channel His wrath
through their bodies, the Sisters strike down their
foes with preternatural strength.
Cost: 3 Faith Points
Effect: Each model within 4 inches adds +2 to its
Strength, but will strike at Initiative 1.
Divine Guidance
Guided by the will of the Emperor Himself, the
shots and blows of the faithful shatter their enemies’
armor with contemptuous ease.
Cost: 3 Faith Points
Effect: Each model within 4 inches gain the
following benefits: when shooting, any rolls which
cause a wound on the roll of a 6 count as AP1. In an
assault, any rolls which cause a wound on the roll of
a 6 count as being made by a power weapon.
The Passion
The faithful leap and weave through the chaos of
melee, striking at their foes with a speed born of
their holy fervor.
Cost: 2 Faith Points
Effect: Each model within 4 inches adds 2 to its
Initiative. May not be used in the same phase
as Hand of the Emperor, and does not override
weapons that always strike last or at Initiative 1,
neither does it change the effect of any type of
grenade.
Light of the Emperor
The Sisters are filled with the knowledge that the
only thing they need fear is failing the Emperor of
Mankind. Armed with such faith, the enemy holds
no terror for them.
Cost: 2 Faith Points
Effect: Each model within 4 inches becomes
Fearless, which means that it will automatically
pass any leadership tests it is required to make.
Spirit of the Martyr
The Sisters’ prayers steel their bodies against the
