Corsairs have some interesting rules for Kill Team Nachmund and today the Shaderunner is getting the spotlight.

The blink pack gives Shade Runners the Fly keyword. They don’t soar with the fancy wings of a Swooping Hawk, instead streaking across the battlefield in an insubstantial blur. Fly allows them to pass through obstacles and other operatives, and ignore vertical distances up or down terrain features instead of running and jumping like an ordinary pirate. 

And while she’s using her body-flicker technique to blink around the battlefield, she can slice’n’dice her enemies in the same action, literally right out of nowhere.

For just 1AP, she can both move and attack* with her cruel Hekatarii blades, which do a massive 5 damage on a roll of 5 or 6, or 3 on a regular hit. As the rule states, you can even re-roll that attack because the blades have the Relentless special rule. 

The coolest part? The Shade Runner gets this Slicing Attack even while she has Conceal orders, blinking from one piece of cover to another without revealing herself. That’s a totally risk-free attack. And that other set of holstered knives isn’t just a gnarly belt buckle – they’re throwing knives with the Silent special rule, which she can throw without giving up her Conceal order. That’s the most ninja power move possible in a game of Kill Team.
