• If the target unit is an attached unit, use the highest T characteristic amongst bodyguard models in that unit that are on the battlefield.
• Use the highest T characteristic amongst models in that unit that are on the battlefield.

1. Create Groups: Divide all models in the target unit into the following groups, as many times as required:
   
   • One group for each CHARACTER model.
   • One group for all other models with the same W, Sv and InSv characteristics.
2. Allocation Order: Declare the order in which those groups will have attacks allocated to them, applying all of the following:
   
   • If a non-CHARACTER group contains a model that has lost one or more wounds, that group must be first in the allocation order.
   • No CHARACTER group can be earlier in the allocation order than a non-CHARACTER group.
   • CHARACTER groups containing a model that has lost one or more wounds must be earlier in the allocation order than CHARACTER groups containing no wounded models.
3. Make Save Rolls: The opposing player makes one save roll for each attack that wounded the target by rolling one D6.

As the Kin truth describes, Luck has. Need keeps. Toil earns. The kinhost’s ability to efficiently switch its strategic footing embodies this wisdom. It results from swift assessments of a foe’s possessions, how best to seize them for the kindred’s need and then to stubbornly toil to hold them against counterattacks.

The Kin of persecution prospects are skilled in escalating their attacks with unrelenting volleys of fire. They pressure the kindred’s foes repeatedly from infiltration positions, unleash enfilading fire from the flanks and surge forward to blaze away at point-blank range before manoeuvring swiftly to other attack angles. Besides the death and destruction they cause, the prospect’s forces leave foes disarrayed, with little chance to rally any ravaged survivors before other Kin capitalise on their plight.

• That unit is not visible to any other units (units are visible to themselves).
• Any other unit is not visible to that unit.
• Players cannot measure distances to or from that unit (units are within range of their own abilities).

• Each model in that unit is within 3" of that TRANSPORT.
• That unit was not set up on the battlefield this turn.
• That unit is eligible to embark within that TRANSPORT, as described on that TRANSPORT’s datasheet.
• That TRANSPORT has sufficient remaining transport capacity for each model in that unit.

• That model has the INFANTRY/BEASTS/SWARM keyword and is within a terrain area.
• That model is not fully visible to the attacking model due to one or more intervening terrain features and/or one or more intervening obscuring terrain areas (see below).

With advanced engineering knowledge and cogitational expertise, a hearthfyre arsenal’s specialists can apply the resources and information seized by the Kin to eradicate their foes efficiently. Such assets are used to coordinate the devastating fire patterns of the force’s support infantry, empowering already heavily armed Kin to the extent that little can escape their murderous fusillades.

1. Select Model: Select one model in that unit by following the first instruction below that applies:
   
   

   If a non-CHARACTER model in that unit has lost one or more wounds, you must select that model. Otherwise, if that unit contains one or more non-CHARACTER models, you must select one of those models. Otherwise, if one or more CHARACTER models in that unit have lost one or more wounds, you must select one of those models. Otherwise, you must select one CHARACTER model in that unit.



2. Resolve Damage: The selected model loses 1 wound. If this reduces that model’s remaining wounds to 0, it is destroyed.

• If that roll succeeds, that unit does not become battle-shocked.
• If that roll fails, that unit, and each model in it, is battle-shocked.

• The Objective Control (OC) characteristic of all of its models is modified to ‘-’ (02.02).
• Its controlling player cannot target that unit with stratagems (15).
• It is not eligible to start an action (16), and any action it has started cannot be completed.

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.

• 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.

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. Crushing the enemy’s soldiery and war engines can shift the balance of martial power, enabling a canny commander to spend the advantage it provides elsewhere.

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.

Kin mercenaries are notoriously frugal and ungenerous in the spending of resources to fulfil their employers’ needs. 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.
