Playing Area

?
There are 6 new field of battle set-ups.
However, we recommend not using
these with the advanced missions, until
you are more accustomed to them!

Since the field of deployment changes

so drastically from mission to mission,
please read each description carefully !
 Mission Type
Select your Mission Type by choosing one of the three options below.

Option 1: Standard Mission Chart: Using the three missions in the standard rule book ie: Seize Ground,
Capture and Control or Annihilation.

Option 2: Advanced Mission Chart: Using the three Advanced Missions in this Mission Pack.

Option 3: Advanced Mission Chart: Rolling for Primary, Secondary,Tertiary and/or Bonus Objectives.

Advanced Mission Chart

1: Advanced Seize Ground:
Before deciding deployment zones, the players must determine the position of D3+2 Objectives. The winner of a roll-off chooses a point on
the table to be an objective by placing a counter on it, choosing a detail of terrain feature, or any other method that is equally clear). Then
the opponent does the same, and the players alternate choosing a point until the position of all the objectives has been determined.

These objectives may not be in impassable terrain, nor within 12” or a table edge or another objective.

After positioning the objectives, deployment of the forces begins, as described in rules for the type of deployment being used.

At the end of the game you control an objective if you have a scoring Troop unit PLUS at least ONE OTHER non HQ unit within 3” of the
objective (dedicated transports DO NOT count).

Additionally, you may only contest an objective if you have equal to or more units within 3” of the objective (dedicated transports DO count).

2: Advanced Capture and Control:

After deciding deployment zones, but before deploying any unit, starting with the player that will deploy first, each player chooses a point in
his own deployment zone to be an objective by placing a counter on it, choosing a detail of terrain feature, or any other method that is
equally clear).
These objectives may not be in impassable terrain, nor may they be within 24” of the other objective.

After positioning the objectives, deployment of the forces begins, as described in the type of deployment being used.

At the end of the game, you control an objective if you have a scoring Troop unit PLUS at least ONE OTHER unit of any type within 3” of the
objective (dedicated transports DO NOT count).

Additionally, if the additional controlling unit is an HQ unit, then that objective cannot be contested by anything other than an enemy HQ
PLUS one additional unit.

Otherwise , you may contest if you have an equal amount of or more units within 3” of the objective (dedicated transports DO count).

2: Advanced Annihilation
At the end of the game, each player receives “Kill Points” for the units that have been completely destroyed as per standard Annihilation
Mission:

Additionally,

Use the standard Seize Ground mission rules to set up 5 Objective tokens. (This number will not be rolled for-
you will always set up 5.)

Each objective claimed will be worth 2 Kill Points.

A contested objective will be worth 1 Kill Point to whoever is contesting the objective with a scoringTroop unit
(This may be one player or both).

The winner is the player with the most Kill Points

 Over the next three pages you can choose to agree with your opponent which
Objectives you wish to play or you can simply let the dice decide.
Pick up to ONE Primary, up to ONE Secondary, up to ONE Tertiary and finally up to THREE Bonus Objectives!

NOTE: If you find that multiple objectives are too complicated for casual gaming, feel free to simply use one main
objective out of these lists and play that!

Primary Objectives
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES ARE WORTH 15 POINTS (10points for a Draw)
2d6 Result: (Once again, feel free to just agree with an opponent!)
2: Board Quarter Capture – You may claim a board quarter by having a higher combined point cost of
scoring units than the enemy in that area. Claim the most quarters to win. A unit
may only claim one board quarter. The player must have more than 50% of
their current unit strength in the quarter to claim it. Use Victory Points to
determine the point cost of scoring units.

3: Assassination-

Each player secretly writes down one of the opponent’s HQ on a piece of paper.
This is the target. Kill this unit to get the points. This unit must be dead, or
fleeing at the end of the game to win. Reveal the target at the end of the game.
(Grab a calculator!) End with a higher ratio of scoring units than your opponent
to win. (Ratio = the number of scoring units at the end divided by the number of
scoring units at the start).
Kill more HQ, ELITE, HEAVY and FAST units than your opponent to win.
(Dedicated Transports are ignored and not counted in any way)
Old school VP! Follow the rules for VP as noted on page 108 of the rule book.

7: Marked for Death – Before deployment, inform your opponent which one squad (no single unit
model, except monstrous creatures) of his will be selected as the target. Kill this
unit to win.

8: Fight to Live – 50% or more of your army (in Victory Points) must survive to win this mission.

9: Relic Capture – Place one Relic (40mm base objective) in the middle of the board. Players will
win by claiming this Relic when they have more units within 6” of this objective
than their enemy at the end of the game. ANY unit (except Dedicated
Transports) may claim.

10: Break the Line - Have more scoring Troop units in your opponent’s deployment area than theirs
in yours!

11: Combined Board Capture-You may claim a board quarter by having a higher combined point cost of units
than the enemy in that area. You must combine a scoring Troop unit AND at
least one more unit of either Troops, Heavy, or Elite units than the enemy in
that area. Use Victory Points to determine the point cost of units. Ignore
dedicated transports.

12: Escort – Place one objective (40mm base) in the middle of the board. Roll a dice and
choose “Escort” and “Attacker” players. Escorts may move this objective up
to 6” (no running) in each movement phase, if at the start of their movement
phase they have any unit within 3”. The Escort must also finish its move within
3” of the objective if they have moved it. If the Escort moves the objective off
the table, they win. If they have the objective within 6” of the table edge, they
draw. If they do neither, they lose. Falling back, or going to ground will lose
possession of the objective.
 Secondary Objectives
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES ARE WORTH 10 POINTS -1d6 Result:

If it is used, you receive nothing.
6: Troop detail – Have all your Troop units surviving at the end of the game.
 BONUS POINTS
Select up to THREE Bonus Point Items.

Each Bonus Point is worth an additional TWO points.

Don’t worry if the Bonus Point mission is the same as one of the three main missions. It just makes it all the more
exciting!!
Once again if you find that multiple objectives are too complicated for casual gaming, feel free to simply use one
main objective out of the previous lists.

 Additional Special Rules.
The Special Rules are divided into 2 sets of Event Tables.

The first set is “Locational Events” – these Tables should only be rolled on if you have agreed to have your game set
in these locations as part of your background story, or if you think it will make for a challenging game.

The second set is “Controlled Events” – these are events that the players have some form of arguable control over.

 Players may roll on whichever Table they have chosen at the START of the game, before set up is done. The
item they roll is what effects them(or their enemy) - be it to their benefit or detriment.

 They may only roll once each per table, with no re-rolls.

 For all results marked with an asterisk * roll an additional d6. Results 1-5 indicate the game turn the event
comes into play. If a result of 6 is rolled, the player rolling may choose which game turn (1-5) the event will
transpire!

Locational Events Tables

WARP RIFT WORLD: Roll a D6. DEATH WORLD: Roll a D6.

1. Incalculable Warp Storm * – Roll a D6. The
result is the Invulnerable Save granted to every non-
vehicle model on the table, for one full turn. Friend and
Foe alike(Result of 1 simply gives the units a nice glow
but no in game effect).
2. Warp Creature* - A hideous warp creature springs
forth from a rift and attacks. One unit, chosen by your
opponent takes d6 wounds before the creature is
destroyed –all saves apply.
3. Rift* - Place the large blast marker anywhere on the
board so that it is not touching any model or objective.
Every turn this vortex will move d6” in a random direction.
Any model or objectives touched by this rift are sucked
into the warp on a 3+ and removed from play.
4. Warp Flux* –At the start of your turn, any one unit of
yours must be removed from the table. They
immediately return using the Deep Strike rules. With the
exception that- a result of “HIT” is rerolled!” However, the
warp flux greatly slows time for them and as a result may
either fire twice (vehicles count as stationary) or shoot as
normal and charge.
5. Warp Visage of Terror* - From time of play, all
non-fearless models wishing to move must first make an
Ld check. If they fail they may not fire, more or charge
for the rest of their turn.
6. Psychic Soul Storm – All psychic tests throughout
the game automatically pass without the possibility of
being nullified, but they automatically generate a “Perils”
result on the Psyker.
1 Ash Eruption* - A gigantic eruption hours earlier
eventually blocks out the sun with ash. From time of play,
all turns are fought using Night Fight rules
2 Unstable Ground* – Because of earthquakes,
quicksand, lava pools or mud pits on this death world, all
units test for Difficult Terrain wherever they are.
3 Acid Rain* -For one turn, every non-vehicle unit on the
board must make a Dangerous Terrain check (Skillful
Rider ability ignored!) as putrid, lethal toxins rain from the
sky.
4 Problematic Wildlife - At the start of any one turn,
one unit chosen by your opponent is attacked by
unfriendly inhabitants of the planet. This unit may not
move, shoot or charge for its turn as it fends off the
gribblies.
5 Dust Storm*– From time of play, a horrible dust storm
blocks sensors and hinders lines of sight. All units on the
board benefit from a 5+ cover save, and all fighting is
done using Night Fight rules.
6 Acid/Lava Spouts* – Acid or Lava spurts up from
the crust of the planet. At time of play D3 Small Blast
Templates are placed on the board so that it is not
touching any model. These templates move 2d6” in a
random direction every player turn. If one moves off
board, replace it so that there are always 3. The
Lava/Acid spout has a profile as follows: S6, AP5.
 Controlled Events Tables
Tech Events: Roll a D6.
1. Experimental Weapon – At the start of the game
1 Heavy Weapon/Tyranid Monstrous Creature weapon is
chosen by your opponent. When fired, this weapon fires
twice its regular rate, but has the “Gets Hot” rules.
2. Orbital Communications- Through extensive
communications with forces on the ground, orbital forces
have relayed enough information on the enemies
movement for you to track. You may measure all ranges
all game.
3. Weapon Malfunction* – One of your squads
chosen by your enemy has a batch of bad weapons. All
the ranged weapons in that squad use the “gets hot” rule.
4. Terrain Clearance Drones –All of you squads
may move through Difficult Terrain with no penalty.
Vehicles do not test for immobilization and Jump or Jet
Packs/Bikes don’t make dangerous terrain tests.
However, your cover saves from terrain are decreased by
1 for the whole game.
5. Experimental Armour – One model in your army
with an armour save has the “Feel No Pain” special rule
thanks to their experimental armour. This model may not
be a Unique or Special Character.
6. Too Venerable – One unit, chosen by your
opponent, with an armour value is your force’s resident
old faithful. Due to its age and problems, all attacks
against this vehicle use the “Tank Hunter” special rule.
Units already with the Tank Hunter special rule get no
additional bonus –they’re too busy laughing.
Strategy Events: Roll a D6.
1. Delayed Behind the Line – enemy scouting
forces successfully delay the arrival of one of your units.
One unit, chosen by your opponent must be placed into
Strategic Reserve.
2. Synchronised Timers/Bioclocks – You may re-
roll the reserve roll result for one unit every turn.
3. Early Arrival – One unit must be placed into Strategic
Reserve. This unit will enter play on the first turn.
4. Leopard Crawl - One infantry squad of your choice,
chosen at the start of the game, may move at full speed
and shoot, but not charge, while “gone to ground”. They
will remain in cover as long as they elect to keep
“crawling”.
5. Strategic Advisor – Your advisor is adept at
fighting your current foe. Because of his advice, you may
reroll the dice when choosing deployment areas.
6. Ambush – Your pre battle planning machinations have
allowed you to set up an ambush for your opponent. You
may seize the initiative on a roll of 5+ .
Events of Fate: Roll a D6.
1. Mulligan – The powers that be have given you a
second chance. You may re-roll any one dice of any kind
at any point in the game. You may only do this once! And
of course, you may not re-roll a re-roll.
2. Last-ditch courage – Re-roll one failed Ld check in
the game.
3. Flesh Wound – Re-Roll one of your failed
invulnerable, cover or armour saves in the game
4. Jinxed weapon – Your opponent may force you to
re-roll one hit result in the game.
5. Big Rock – Your opponent may force you to re-roll one
dice from a successful Difficult or Dangerous Terrain
check.
6. Forced Mulligan – The powers that be have taken
away hope of a second chance. Your opponent may force
you to re-roll any one dice of any kind at any point in the
game. They may only do this once! And of course, you
may not re-roll a re-roll.
