Solas heroes Battleforce

Notes

Models falling in tabletop games will not automatically reduce Esailia's crew rating, instead the crew rating will drop based on the Rogue Trader's margin of defeat. If the player's are victorious, they are assumed to "recruit" prisoners from the opponents force to cover their losses.
Independent Characters : These characters are too hardy to kill in the chaos of a large scale conflict, and as such will not die if they are removed from play. If their opponent is victorious, fallen characters will likely be captured and held for ransom or other appropriate plot device.

Heavy Support

Orbital Strike

0-1
Cost: 60 Points
Strength: 8
Armor Penetration: 1
Notes: Ordinance Blast, Pinning
Plotting : Orbital Strikes must be keyed to a specific terrain peice at the start of the battle. Make a note of the plotted point befroe forces are deployed but after deployment zones have been determined.
Timing : An Orbital Strike always uses the Reserve special rule even in missions where it is not normally allowed. Once the Orbital Strike is available, it lands in each shooting phase of the Rogue Trader players turn thereafter. The Rogue Trader player can opt to not roll for the onset of the strike if he wishes, but once the test has been passed, the strikes will continue each turn until the end of the game.
Placement : The blast marker for the srike can be placed anywhere within the specified terrain piece. If the terrain piece is too small, make sure the center hole of the template is over the terrain piece in question.
Inaccuracy : All Orbital Srikes use the deviation rules for Ordinance but if a miss is rolled the distance it scatters is doubled. If a hit is rolled the template deviates by the amount shown on the dice.
Officer's Authorization Required : An Orbital Strike may only be chosen if Jarrian York, Macharius Johnstonne, or Malechi Darrius is also part of the force.
