Once you’ve chosen your archetype, you build a small deck out of its six Tac Ops card options.** Draw two at a time, select one and discard the other, repeating until you’re left with three secondary objectives to complete. The Kill Team Tac Ops cards are invaluable here, reducing the need to flip frantically through a rulebook.
Here’s the clever bit – the objectives you choose are hidden until it’s time to score them. Some give your opponent a moment’s notice, such as when your operatives make a sudden dash for their drop zone, while others come out of the blue and make a good move (for you) even better.
Even kill teams with just one archetype, such as the Veteran Guardsmen, can support different play styles. You may want to stay back and keep your operatives safe with Hold the Line and Damage Limitation, or advance and secure the killzone with Plant Banner and Central Control.
And as we saw with the matched play game mode, your objectives are chosen after you find out what mission you’ll be playing, so you can pick the Tac Ops that best suit the situation on the battlefield.
