Leagues of Votann - A Reimagining - Part 4 - Votanns and Infiltration.

The Votann, known for their technological prowess, have developed advanced neuro-drone implants. These tiny devices can be surgically implanted into captured individuals, turning them into unwitting spies. Once implanted, the neuro-drone establishes a connection to the Votann network, feeding real-time intelligence back to their operators without the host's knowledge. The technology is so advanced that it leaves minimal trace, allowing the individual to be released back into society without raising suspicion.

Game Mechanics

Special Rule: "Neuro-Drone Implant"

Neuro-Drone Implant:

• Description: The Votann have perfected the art of covert surveillance through the use of neuro-drones. These implants allow the Votann to gather intelligence and even control key individuals from a distance.
• Effect: At the start of the battle, select one enemy character. That character is implanted with a neuro-drone (this is not revealed to the opponent until activated).

Activation:

• Trigger: At the beginning of any Votann turn, you may choose to activate the neuro-drone. When activated, the following effects apply:
• Surveillance: The Votann player can see the enemy player’s hand of stratagems and any hidden units or deployments.
• Remote Control: Once per game, the Votann player can take control of the implanted character for one turn. During this turn, the character can move, attack, and use abilities as if it were part of the Votann army.

Detection and Removal:

• Counter-Play: The enemy character can attempt to detect and remove the implant. At the end of each of their turns, they may roll a D6:
• On a roll of 6, the implant is detected and neutralized, removing all effects immediately.
• Certain psykers or tech-savvy units may grant a +1 bonus to this roll.
