Terrain Types

Light

Smaller terrain is light and it provides cover to operatives.

Heavy

Larger terrain is Heavy offers cover and can obscure operatives.

Blocking

Blocking terrain means that targeting lines cannot be drawn through it, even if there appear to be gaps. This is usually attributed to underneath a terrain feature.

Accessible

Operatives can move through Accessible terrain, but costs an additional 1”. Only the base needs to move through the terrain feature, making base sizes irrelevant. This supersedes the standard rules on base sizes and movement.

Insignificant

Insignificant terrain is usually very small and is ignore for purposes of climbing and dropping.

Exposed

Exposed terrain is usually very small or terrain with large gaps (e.g. ladders). For the purposes of Targeting Lines, it is not intervening.

Vantage

Vantage terrain pieces are elevated platforms above the Killzone floor. Unlike other terrain classifications, operatives can end their move on Vantage terrain. It is also consider Light terrain.

When targeting operatives more than 2” below the shooting operative’s vantage, the following applies:

• If targeting a Concealed operative:
  • The shooting operative gains Seek Light whilst targeting that operative
  • The defender gains an upgraded cover save (one additional cover save or 1 critical save)
• If targeting a Engaged operative:
  • Accurate 1 if over 2” and under 4” below
  • Accurate 2 if over 4” below

When drawing Targeting Lines, ignore any heavy cover connected to the Vantage terrain the operative is on.

Ceiling

Operatives with a round base of 50mm or less, or an oval base of 60x35mm, can move underneath Ceiling terrain regardless of the operative’s height (this takes precedence over Terrain and Movement). The operative must still finish the action in a location it can be placed
