Welcome to Relic Knights!Soda Pop Miniatures would like to thank you for taking the time to download the Relic Knights beta rules set. The basic mechanics of the game are all here and wont be changing. Most of the model rules are also complete. However, this rules system is still a work in progress: some key rules mechanics (such as squads) have yet to be added and fnal editing still is not complete. The Soda Pop team is working hard on all of these things and will continue to improve your game experience every way we can as we approach the May launch date. How you can help.Read our rules, play a bunch of games with your friends, and then get involved. Join us on the Soda Pop forums and post any and all questions, concerns, or rules issues you can fnd. We wont be able to respond personally to every comment or post, but we promise well read every single one and take your feedback into account as we polish the book into its fnal form.Our goal is nothing less than to give you the most dynamic, action-packed, rulebook we can. With your help were sure to succeed.Now, what are you doing? The Darkspace Calamity is here. Time to save the universe!Thanks for playing,The Soda Pop TeamJohn Cadice, Chris Birkenhagen, Deke Stellawww.SodaPopMiniatures.comWeellccoommee ttoo RReelliicc KKnniigghhttss!!Sodaa PPop o MMin inia iatu ture ess wo woul uld d li like ke ttoo th than nk k yo youu fo for r ta taki king ng tthe he ttim imee to to ddow ownl nloa oad d th theRelic Kn Knig i ht hts s beeta ta rul ules es set et.

Inexorably it devours galaxies whole, their lights extinguished one by one. Only a single galaxy remains, desperately staving ofextinction through the might of its heroes. Plunge headlong into the action with your own cadre of powerful champions to combat the calamity and determine the fate of the universe!Relic Knights is a quick and dynamic tabletop strategy battle game that uses fnely detailed 30mm miniatures to represent our heroes and villains on the battlefeld. Relic Knights uses a card-based system to represent Esper, the energy which binds the universe. Players draw and use this Esper to unleash devastating attacks and cunning counters upon their foes.A Relic Knights force is built around either a Relic Knight or Questing Knight. Potent warriors and wielders of esper, they are your cadres leader and determine what other models can be recruited. Each knight is bonded to a cypher. Born of pure esper, each cypher has chosen a knight that refects their own motivations and desires, granting them powers beyond the mortal ken. The knight and their cypher are joined in battle by select individuals who have rallied to their cause and will form their cadre.Some cadres are formed entirely of unique individuals. Each a mighty hero in their own right. Each fghting for a cause sacred to themselves. Others are surrounded by minions and grunts -- the everyman soldier. Most have joined the knight in service of a greater cause, be it nation, race, creed, or greed. Regardless of their composition, with a knight at their these cadres make up the most potent fghting forces the galaxy has ever seen.As calamity looms, they represent the universes last hope. Their actions will be the cause of its salvation or herald its destruction.Summary of PlayBefore playing, players agree on a game size and select a scenario. They then recruit their cadres, and set up the battlefeld with terrain and any objectives required by the scenario. Players then determine the frst player and alternate taking turns deploying models on the battlefeld. Once models have been deployed players determine their ready order and draw their hand up to fve cards. Then the battle begins.During the battle each player takes turns activating a single model. During that models activation it will be allowed to make an initial move, use an action, then take a follow-up move. The player then discards or draws their hand back to fve cards. Play continues between players alternating model activations until one player satisfes the victory conditions of the scenario being played or their opponent surrenders the game.RULESAt At aa GGla lanc nceeThe e Da D rks rkspac pace C e Cala lamit m y e y engu ngulfs lfs th he u e univ nivers e e. e.

This section covers the basic game elements you will be using to play your games of Relic Knights.Objects An object refers to any game element placed upon the table. This includes models, terrain, and markers. Remember that when you see a rule that refers to objects, it is referring to any and all game elements.Models Models are the miniatures used to play a game of Relic Knights. Models all have a number of attributes that are used to defne their abilities, strengths and weaknesses. Models in your cadre are referred to as friendly models, while models in your opponents cadre are referred to as enemy models.Model Cards All models have two cards, a tracker card and a reference card. The smaller standard sized card is called the tracker card. The large double sized card is called the reference card. Each card represents certain characteristics that describe how the model interacts within the game.Name: This is the models name and how they are identifed on the table.Faction: Most models belong to one of the many organizations and groups throughout the universe. A models faction shows its allegiance to one of these groups. Certain abilities, powers and efects can afect models of a specifc faction diferently. A model can only have one faction, though some models may have no faction.Type: There are several types of models used in Relic Knights.- ReIic Knight: Relic Knights are warriors and heroes, gifted with powerful mechanical constructs called Relics and empowered by mystical creatures known as cyphers. Along with Questing Knights, Relic Knights are often collectively referred to as Knights. - uesting Knight: Questing Knights have only recently manifested a cypher and now travel the galaxy seeking to prove themselves worthy of a mighty Relic of their own. Along with Relic Knights, Questing Knights are often collectively referred to as Knights.- Cypher: Enigmatic creatures born of pure esper, cypher hold the keys to the Darkspace Calamity that has descended upon the universe. Each cypher is bound to a single Relic Knight or Questing Knight - Unique: Uniques are individual characters that have joined the cadre of a knight seeking glory and adventure of their own.GAME ELEMENTSBef Before ore la launc unchin hing i g into nto nto yo yo your ur ur fas fas fas as st a t a t a t a t and nd nd nd nd fur fur fur fur u iou iou iou ou o s R s R s R s R s Reli el eeli elic K c K c K c K c Knig nig nig nig nights ht hts hts hts ga ga ga games mes mes mes, t , ttther her her her here a e a e a e are re re r sev sev sev sev vera era era ral e l e l e l e esse sse sse se senti ntial alcom ompon ponent ents y s y you ou ou wil wil wil ll n l n l n l need eed eed eed eed to to to oo pl pl ppplay ay y y y and and and and and ba ba ba ba asic sic sic sic sic co co co conce nce nce ncepts pts pts pts ts fo fo fo fo for y r y r r r you ou ou ou ou to to to to to und und und und nders rs rs erstan tan tan ta a d. d. d. d. d Thi Thi Thi Thi This s s s s s s sect ect ect ec ec ion ion cov overs ers th th the b e b e basi asi a c g c g c g c g c game ame ame ame ame el el el eleme eme me ments nts nts nnts yo yo yo yo ou w u w u w u will ill ill ill il be beee us us us using ing ing ng ng to to to to to pl pl pl pl play ay y ay ay you you you you our g r g r g r ame ame ame ames o s o ooof R f R f R f R f Reli eli li lic K c K c K c K c Knig nig nig nig nights hts ht ht ht ..Ob Obje je eeect ct ct ct cts ssssAn An obj obj obj bject ect ect ect ect ree reefer fer fer fers t t s t s to a o a o a o ny ny ny ny y gam gam gam gam game e e e e e e e lem lem lem lem le ent nt ent ent pl pl pl pplace ace ace ace ac d u d u d u d upon pon pon pon pon th th th he t e t e t e t e tabl abl abl ab ab e. e. e. e.

Cost: All models have a point cost that is used to defne the overall value of the model as a whole. In general, models with a higher point cost are more powerful than models that cost fewer points. When players assemble their forces, the total cost of all their models determines the size of the game being played. More information about assembling a force is discussed in Game Setup.Afnity: Nearly every living thing in the universe is infuenced by the energies that form the building blocks of existence. Most beings have a particular connection to one of the six expressions of the universe, a connection that helps defne their powers and abilities. A models afnity defnes its connection to one of the six types of Esper. This is represented on the models reference and tracker card by the esper symbol found on the back of the card.Size: The size of a model determines how it interacts with other models and objects. Models will have a size attribute of one and higher. A models size is used in determining line of sight and other rules presented below.Speed: A models speed is used to determine how quickly it moves around the battlefeld. Models will have two parts to their speed attribute. The frst is the maximum distance a model may move before making an action during its activation (called the initial move). The second value is the maximum distance a model can move during its follow-up move. Movement rules are discussed later.HeaIth: When a model sufers damage it gets closer to falling in battle. A models health determines how much damage it can take before being removed from play. When a models health is reduced to zero it is removed from the game. Players will use their tracker card to keep track of a models health as it sufers damage and is healed.Held Esper: All models have the ability to channel Esper and weave it into powerful efects. There are many ways a model can hold Esper. Held Esper is described in greater detail in the Manipulating Esper section.Skills: How efective a model is in combat is determined by its combat skill attributes. Combat skills are divided into three categories, based on the type of attack; psychic, melee and ranged. A model will have an attack and defense attribute for each of these three categories. The attack attributes are collectively referred to as a models Attack Skills. The Defense attributes are collectively referred to as a models Defense Skills. Minion Identifcation: Use this space to write a number, letter, or other symbol to help you identify which card belongs to each minion model. Card Sleeves - During a game of Relic Knights there are several things you need to keep track of using your tracker card -- Health, Held Esper, Minion Identifcation. We recommend using clear plastic card sleeves for your tracker cards. Then you can use a dry or wet erase marker to track damage, etc. without damaging the game card. - Minnion on:: Mi Minio ni ns ns mak make u e p a p a di diver ve se e pan panopl oply o y f N f oble warriors, trained soldiers, cun cunnin ning r g r ggg ace ace aaacers rs rs and and and ot other hers t s hat hat jo join in the the kn knigh ights ts in n the their r bat ba tle les. s.

Abilities directly afect a model during the game, such as Armor reducing damage the model sufers. Unless otherwise specifed, abilities are always active.Actions: While some models have access to general actions, all models have specifc actions that they can take during their activation. The specifcs of these actions, including the Esper cost to activate and their efects are listed in the models description. Details on taking actions are found in the Playing the Game section.Traits: Models possess qualities that defne who and what it is. Traits are used to classify the model and explain what kind of being it is. A models traits are used to determine how it is afected by certain efects and abilities. Examples of traits include: Pit Crew, Pirate, and Human.Esper Deck Relic Knights uses a standardized card deck which represents the fow of Esper around us. The card deck comes with 42 cards. Each player will need one. 0ashboard Each player has an area near the table which is referred to as The Dashboard. The dashboard is used to organize your tracker cards and determine your models order of play. Details on using the dashboard are found in the Playing the Game section.Terrain The objects on the table that represent things like trees, buildings, hills and other features of the battlefeld are collectively referred to as terrain. Detailed rules for terrain can be found in the Terrain section.Measuring 0eviceThere is often occasion to measure distances for movement, efects and other reasons. During a game, players can take measurements at any time, for any reason. Units of measurement, including movement and all other measurements, are always listed in inches. MarkersIn addition to models and terrain, markers are often placed on the table to indicate the location of efects, objectives and other important items.

This section details how you select the size of your game, how you recruit your cadre, determine what scenario you will be playing, and deploy your models.Choose the 0ame Size Adventuring in the Relic Knights universe is perilous. Each Knight relies upon trusted companions, ruthless mercenaries, or faithful followers to see them through. When players begin selecting their cadres, they must frst decide what kind of game they will be playing. Is it a large game with many models, or a smaller game with only a few for each player? The size and type of game being played determines how many points each player has to build their cadre. It also determines how many Knights a player can or must take as well as the size of the ready area on their dashboard. There are four basic types of games:Encounter: An encounter represents a scrap, ambush, or other small scale fght with a Knight and their close companions. Players have 35 points from which to select their cadre. The ready queue of each players dashboard is made up of two slots. Cadres must include one Relic Knight or Questing Knight. Limit 1. Skirmish: Skirmishes break out when better prepared forces plan and execute raids, surgical strikes, or soda fueled brawls at the latest Guilty Beat concert. Each player has 50 points to select their cadre. The ready queue of each players dashboard is made up of three slots. Cadres must include one Relic Knight or Questing Knight. Limit 1. CIash: As tensions rise, small scufes give rise to fercer conficts involving more than just a few combatants. Players have 65 points from which to build their cadres. The ready queue of each players dashboard is made up of four slots. Each player must include one Relic Knight or Questing Knight to lead their cadre, but may also bring up to one additional Knight. Limit 2. Battle: Battles are epic encounters between two factions, with each player bringing 100 points to bear against their opponent. The ready queue of each players dashboard is made up of fve slots. Each player must select a Relic Knight or Questing Knight to lead their cadre, but may also bring up to one additional Knight. Limit 2. Battles are truly massive games and should be played on a slightly larger battlefeld, we recommend having your battle take place on a table at least 4x4 with lots of terrain.GAME SETUPBef Be ore ore la launc unchin hin hing i g i g into nto to t yo yo yo yo your ur ur ur ur bat bat bat bat battle tle tle tle tles o s o s o s of R f R f R f R f eli elii elic K c K c K c K c Knig nig nig nights hts ht ht h , p , p , p , play lay lay ay ayers ers ers er er wi wi wi wwill ll ll ll nee nee nee need t d t d t d t d to d o d o d o d o dete ete ete te t rmi rmi mi mi minne ne n a f a f a f aa ew ewthi hings ngs in in in or or order der der er er to too to to ge ge ge geet s t s t s t s t star tar tar tarted ted ted ed ted.

Every model you recruit is considered part of your cadre. Once the size and type of game has been determined, players spend points on models for their cadre. Each model has a cost listed that determines how many points must be spent to recruit that model. Players may also spend points on boosts, helpful items and power-ups that assist your Cadre in the fght ahead. Choose a Leader: In each cadre players must recruit at least one Questing Knight or Relic Knight to be the leader of the cadre. All models selected to be part of the cadre must share the same faction as the leader. If you are playing a game size that allows more than one Knight to be recruited you still must designate one of them to be the cadres leader, who will determine your cadres faction as normal.For example, Calico Kate is selected as the leader of a cadre. Kate is a member of the Star Nebula Corsairs faction. This means that all models in Kates cadre must also be members of the Star Nebular Corsairs faction. Cyphers: Each Questing Knight or Relic Knight also comes with a cypher. The specifc cypher they are bonded to is listed on their card and becomes a member of the cadre automatically. Cyphers cost no points, their value has already been fgured into the cost of the Knight.Unique Models: Some models in Relic Knights represent powerful individual characters and possess the unique trait. A player may not include two or more unique models of the same name in their cadre. Minion Models: Many models in Relic Knights represent goons, guards, and companions, such possess the minion trait. A player may include multiple minion models of the same name in their cadre.Boosts: The variety of technology, artifacts, and other helpful items available to the forces represented in Relic Knights are called boosts. A player may not include more than two boosts of the same name in their cadre.

Scenarios provide players unique objectives they must accomplish to achieve victory. To select a scenario, one player shufes their Esper Deck and chooses a card randomly.

In addition, an area is needed for each player to place their dashboard. Once these areas have been laid out, players place terrain on the battlefield. Each player takes turn placing a piece of terrain. (Players are encouraged to build a well themed table, evocative of the rich and fantastic galaxy Relic Knights takes place in.) How Much 7errain ShouId l Use1 A good estimate is to have 1-3 pieces of terrain for each square foot of playable space on your tabletop. Games of Relic Knights are most fun when your heroes are dodging whickering laser fre through dense cover, or avoiding certain death by climbing out of reach of an enemys attack. 33Sett Up Up tthe he at attI tIe eeI eIddWhe hen s n ett ett ett ett etting ing gg ing up up uu th tth t e b e b e att att att attlef lefiel iel i d, d pla player ers m s must ust de esig signat ate a e 3 3x3 x3 ar area e of of tab table (or other flat s t s surf urf urf urf face ac ac ac ac ) ttttto b o b o b o b o be u e u e u ee sed ed ed as th the b e batt at lef efiel ie d. d.

The dashboard contains a number of diferent sections. Models are represented by their tracker card on the dashboard. The sections are: active slot, linked slot, ready queue, idle model section, draw pile, discard pile, dead pile.Ready ueue: The Ready Queue is where you place a number of models determined by the type and size of the game you are playing. At the beginning of your turn, the left most model in the ready queue moves into the active slot. The remaining tracker cards slide in the queue to the next available slot, from right to left. At the end of the turn the active card goes into the Idle section and you must put a new tracker card into the empty slot in the ready queue. (This may be the same model that just was activated.)There are efects in the game that can cause models to be removed from the ready queue. At the end of any turn, the ready queue must be set to its required number of models as long as you enough models left in play. A player cannot voluntarily remove a model or change the order of the models in the ready queue. Models whose tracker cards are in the ready queue are referred to as ready.Active Slot: This is where the currently activated model is placed during its activation. Models in this section are still ready, even though they are no longer in the ready queue.Linked SIot: This is where a tracker card is placed if it is linked and going to activate this turn. The linked attribute and its rules are discussed later. Models in the linked section are considered Idle until they are moved to the active slot.Idle Section: The idle section is where all models that are not ready or in the dead pile go. Models in the idle section are referred to as idle.Draw Pile: This is where your Esper Deck goes.Discard Pile: This is where discarded esper cards go.Dead Pile: This is where a models tracker card goes when it has been killed or otherwise removed from the game.5-43-22-11-2BETTYCERCI SPEEDCIRCUIT UNIQUE10PTS 30MM 2If you were to ask the crew,Betty is comprised of curses,grease marks, and elbows.4-43-12-11-1LUGCERCI SPEEDCIRCUIT UNIQUE11PTS 50MM 4With CHEE, the more menial the cogitator, the more loyal the bonds they form.12-83-33-32-2PRINCESS MALYACERCI SPEEDCIRCUIT RELIC KNIGHT18PTS 50MM 4The rumor that the Princess ofUlyxis is racing and winning inthe Cerci is widely exaggerated.10-71-32-31-3PACECERCI SPEED CIRCUIT MINION9PTS 50MM 3Many racers have their livesto thank for a timely recovery froma raceway PACE bot.10-81-24-32-3SUICIDE QUEENCERCI SPEEDCIRCUIT QUESTINGKNIGHT14PTS 40MM 3There isnt a problemin the universe that a coupleo of lucky richocets cant handle.10-83-21-21-2HELLS BELLESCERCI SPEED CIRCUIT MINION8PTS40MM3 Beautiful, deadly, and fast - the Hells Belles have a name around the underworld circuit for getting things done. 6-5MR.TOMNCERCI SPEED CIRCUIT CYPHER30MM 1Wherever Mr. Tomn leads,Malya is sure to follow.8-62-22-11-2ULYXIS PIT CREWCERCI SPEEDCIRCUIT PIT UNIQUE7PTS 30MM 2If you cant ix it,BANG it back into shape7-5ROLLOCERCI SPEEDCIRCUIT CYPHER30MM 1ARF!Active CardReady ueueIdle Pile Esper DeckDiscard DeckDead PileLinked Card7he 00aasshhbbooaarrdd Each p h play layer er has has an an ar area ea nea near the he bat battle tlefel eld w d w whic hic hich i iis r s r s r refe efeeeerre rre rre rr rred t tttto a o o oo s, s, ss, the th th th th da da da da ashb shb shb shb shboar oa oa oa oa d. d. d The Th dashbo hboard ard co c nta ntains ins a a num umber ber of of di difer fe f ent ent ent se eeecti cti cti cti t ons ns ns nn .
