Blacksun Traders
"Laws are for breaking, and coin is for making."
A pirate faction, the Blacksun Traders are opportunistic anarchists who live for chaos and wealth. They are the only faction in the galaxy to use forbidden firearms and projectile weaponry. Their fleets are notorious for raiding, looting, and trading in the most dangerous and illegal goods, making them both feared and sought after in the underworld of the galaxy. For them, coin is king, and the laws of the galaxy are made to be broken.

Composition Chart & Faction Rules
The Blacksun Traders won't do anything without getting paid, and only their Captain pays them!
Blacksun Traders must bring 1 Captain.
Faction Specific Rules:
Rain Fire!: During the shooting phase the Captain from this army (or any new captain) may spend 1 destiny point to target an enemy unit. Roll 1d6 for that target and every unit in coherency with that target. Every 6+ causes a wound on a unit of the opponent's choice. Shield Saves (or any wound ignoring abilities) may be taken as normal. If the target is in coherency with any Blacksun models, the Blacksun player must roll for his own units and allocate any wounds on his own units accordingly.
Friendly Fire: This Faction will shoot even if an ally is in the way.
Faith in Pirate's Code: When victory points are scored, add 1 faith to the faith pool for every point scored.
Faction Specific Secondary Missions:
The Blacksun Traders score secondary points for raiding and pillaging. The following secondary objectives are always active:
Assassination: Score 2 Victory points for every enemy hero killed.
Whittle them down: Score 1 Victory point for every enemy unit killed this turn.
Looking for treasure: Once per round 1 unit per table quarter may skip their shooting phase and roll a d6, on a 6 this army receives 2 victory points.
