Terrain

Terrain traits

Terrain	Core definition	Default effect
Open Ground	Clear, stable space with no meaningful obstruction.	Move normally; it grants no cover.
Barrier	A low wall, fence, barricade, or similar linear obstacle.	A model must Climb unless a route passes around it. It commonly provides Light Cover.
Difficult Terrain	A defined footprint such as rubble, woods, debris, or dense machinery.	Models may enter if their bases fit. Models halve their movement while moving through it; it provides the agreed cover when sight crosses the footprint.
Light Cover	Partial protection that obscures but does not fully hide the target.	Add one to the target's Defense.
Heavy Cover	Substantial protection such as a vehicle, thick wall, or fortified position.	Add one to the target's Defense.
Blocking Terrain	A solid feature through which models cannot see or normally move.	Blocks movement and line of sight. Move around it unless a rule grants another route.
Climbable Terrain	A feature a model can cross or ascend with a legal landing point.	During a Move, roll the . Success completes the climb; Blank ends movement at the obstacle.
Operable Terrain	A door, hatch, console, lift, switch, or similar interactive feature.	A model in base contact may use Open/Close or the action printed by the mission.
Breakable Terrain	A door, window, barrier, or object with an agreed Defense and result when broken.	A model in base contact may Smash it. The terrain or mission defines the Defense and what changes after success.

Cover & sight

Cover is gained when the line of sight crosses the relevant terrain or an intervening model.

Completely obscured targets cannot be attacked. If a miniature's pose creates an absurd result, judge the base and the agreed terrain instead of the sculpt.
