The Eternal Night Part I

The white and blue planet of Pyraxia Secondus cameinto view as the Thunder hawk made its decent. Theunadorned silver a striking flash of colour against theback drop of the blackness of deep space. InquisitorStephanus De Norville turned from the view port of theThunderhawk and began studying the data-slate heclutched in his armored gauntlets.

The planets designation was Pyraxia and was relativelyunremarkable. The planet was larger than Terra and hada slow rotation around a distant sun. It had a stablebreathable atmosphere but was distinctly cold duringthe long winter months during its 48 Terran monthrotation. There was no indigenous population but theassigned workers called the planet Eternal Night, as thefortress city, which was established during the greatcrusade to mine the area for ore and protect it againstraiding xenos, was dark for years at a time. The fortresswas located in the Northern hemisphere where thewinters where less harsh but no less dark. The meagerpopulation of 8131 was purely that of scientists, workers,their families and a small Planetary Defense Force thatmaintained the fortress city and continued the drillingoperation.

The discovery of ancient Eldar technology madePyraxia remarkable. With the discovery came theattention from the Inquisition, Mechanicum and Xenos.Raids by Eldar trying to secure the device had beenresisted by the PDF with the support of a company ofBlood Angels assigned to the region. What a sight thatmust have been mused the Inquisitor and he smiled atthe thought. The Blood Angels home world is known

for its harsh hot environment, though he doubted thecold would be new to them. The problems of the Eldarraiders was nothing compared to trouble caused by theinsistence of the Blood Angels to remove the artifactonce it was secured. A stale mate ensued as the PDF andMechanicum forces encircled the device and pointed4000 guns at the Blood Angels. A distress call was sent

by the Planetary Governor and received. Inquisitor DNorville. He was dispatched at once with orders tosecure the device and dissuade the Blood AngelsLibrarian from rash action

Campaign Flow

The table above demonstrates how the campaign games will play on day 1 and how they will affect the finalgame on day 2.

A Warlord has the authority to call down a bombardment from a Strike Cruiser. This ability can be used his Shootingphase, providing that the warlord did not move in the preceding Movement phase (though he may later assault if the controlling playerwishes). Calling down an orbital bombardment otherwise counts as firing a ranged weapon and uses th e following profile:

Unlimited 10 1 Ordanance 1Barrage

Note that if an arrow is rolled on the scatter dice an orbital bombardment will always scatter the full 2D6" - the Warlords Ballistic Skillmakes no difference.

The Thunder Hawks thrusters bellowed out and sent a

swirl of ice and snow out from its underside as ittouched down within the Fortress walls. Within secondsthe front hatch blew open. Inquisitor De Norville andhis entourage marched down the ramp. The silver-greyranks of marines carrying storm bolters and longhalberds the signature weapons of the Grey knight.

Planetary Governor Heimlich von Bathos looked on.The imposing human figure, a veteran of a thousandwars was dwarfed by the Blood Angels Librarian next tohim, who stood like a statue of Red stone. The GreyKnights dispersed under sub-voxed command and stoodat attention as the Inquisitor stalked towards the feudingpair. De Norville took the pair in with a glance. ThePlanetaty Governer was of stocky build and bore scaresof battle on his leathered aged face. His eyes where abright blue that spoke of determination, courage andvalor. They showed no sign of fear of his situation buthis hand tightly gripped the handle of his sheathedpower sword told another story.

Gentleman, I am Inquisitor Stephanus De Norvilleattached to the 3rd Company Grey knights and I have

been sent here by the Ordo Xenos, and Ordo Maleus tosettle this situation. You will both tell your men tostand down and surrender the relic to my custody.

The Blood Red Librarian responded first gesturing atthe Imperial Governor These fools seek to harness thepower of this Xenos device and with it they will damnus all! I am in command here until I see something totell me otherwise Inquisitor! He slowly drew his forcesword, activated it with a gesture and pointed it at DeNorville If you don't like that then I believe you can go

to hell!

.Suddenly storm bolters where racked and pointed inunison at the Blood Angels Librarian response to theperceived threat.

Enough! barked the Inquisitor. Stand down all ofyou, Now!. Bolters fell back to the sides of the GreyKnights. Lower your weapon psyker! I have come hunder direct order of the Inquisition and the imperialpalace. Orders you WILL follow! De Norville passedthe Blood Angels Librarian his dataslate with the ordclear on. After several long moments the Blood Angremoved his helm. The Inquisitor was taken aback bthe young and noble aspect that greeted him. ThisEpistolary Jacob Macgiolla looked about a day in titand obviously felt he had a lot to prove. The youngLibrarian lowered his sword. "My apologies, it seemam relieved. Have your relic, but mark my words itshould be removed from planet side and held insafekeeping .It is ancient and means so much to the

Eldar we cant risk leaving it here undefended

At this barbed comment the Planetary Governor spoup It was under my guard and we did a fine jobprotecting it. We protected it from the Eldar and itseems we protected it from you! I think we can handdon t you?

The Librarian snorted and marched away from thecommander barking orders at his men as he went beshouting back We will camp here with you until that

damn thing is gone from here.

The Planetary Governor let out a held breath beforetaking in De Norville Well Inquisitor shall I show youwhat all the fuss is about? and stalked off beforeawaiting a reply.

Arrogance and fear surrounds these two De Norvillethought to himself sadly as the human and space mamarched off. A fertile breeding ground for the taint ochaos! Once the relic is removed from this placesuccessfully, I will have to deal with both Governor Space Marine permanently! With a heavy heart helooked back down at his dataslate and entered a a sinword.

The Eternal NightMission I : Kill Team

200 pointsImperial scout units investigate the site around Fort Pain to locate and secure reported Xenos relics andartifacts. After observing increased human activity on the planet, the Necorn overlords order a smallextermination squad to the surface to wipe out these human parasites and retrieve any Eldar technologythat may have unsurfaced.

Kill Team is designed to be played with a smallnumber of models, each of which is treated as anindividual unit. This means that games will bequick. So click off the safety catch and ensureyou brought along those extra ammo clips. It's abattle to the death, and only the most ruthlesswarriors will survive...

Each player picks an 'army' worth 200 pointsusing the following force organisation chart:

0-1 Elite0-2 Troops0-1 Fast AttackNo model can have more than 2 Wounds. No Special Characters. No 2+ saves. No vehicles with a total Armour value greater than 33. This is calculated byadding the Front, Side and Rear armournumbers. (Only count the Side once).

Grenades: any grenades listed in your army listas assigned to the unit must be given to a

single model.

Scout and Infiltrate moves operate as normal.The player deploying first will chose a standardtable quarter placing all his appropriate modelswithin a deployment zone created by measuringa 12 inch triangle extending along the both tableedges from the corner. The opposing player willthen place all appropriate models in the quarterdiagonally across, also within a triangle 12inches from the corner.

The fifth quarter: Please note that for the sake of this game, we divide the table into five quarters:one in each corner and a non- standard fifth inthe middle of the table. The fifth quarter isalways created by drawing a 6-inch radius fromthe center of the table.

Your team must capture and control a vital area innomans land; it is imperative that you both holdthis area and keep it free of enemy interference:think king of the hill.You must bring all surviving models into the fifthquarter and remove all enemy models from thesame in order to successfully complete thismission. The mission lasts a random number of turns - between five and seven. At the end of game turn 5, a player must roll a dice. On a 1-2the game ends immediately, on a 3+ game turn 6is played. If this is the case, a player will rollanother dice at the end of game turn 6, and this

time on a 4+ the game continues and game turn 7is played. At the end of game turn 7, the gameends automatically.

As soon as the game ends and before working outwho controls which objective, all units that arefalling back are removed and count as destroyed.

Victory Conditions

Keep track of the points value of any models

killed by each player's named character duringthe game.

Models that are part of a unit are assumed tohave a cost equal to the points value of the unitdivided by the number of models in it. At theend of the game each player must add up thevalue of the models that their named characterkilled, and then subtract the cost of thecharacter itself. The player with the higher totalis the winner.

Instant Victory: If one player's Warlord slays theopponent's Warlord, then they instantly win thegame.

Special Rules

Lead From The Front: You must bring your

Campaign warlord to this battle Duel To The Death: In this scenario a namedcharacter may only be killed by an attack madeby the opposing named character. If a namedcharacter is slain by any other method, they areleft standing with one wound remaining.

No Named Characters: If a player doesn't have anamed character in their collection of CitadelMiniatures than they may use an independentcharacter or monstrous creature instead.

1500 pointsAs the campaign desperately continues, Imperial Guard heavy support units are sent to defend Fort Pain,the central base of command for the Emperors forces. As always the Necron high command observes thismovement and devises a plan to turn the humans weapons of mass destruction upon themselves!

Linebreaker is a team 'mini-game' forWarhammer 40,000.

Army Selection

The Imperial player commands three Super HeavyTanks (see Warhammer 40,000 Apendix forrules), and the Necron player commands a 1,500point army picked from the Necron Codex. Notethat the defending army is not allowed to includeany legendary units or battle formations - onlyunits included in the Codex may be used!

The Baneblades start at one side of the gaming

table, and must attempt to exit from the

opposite table edge.

Up to 500 points of defending units may bedeployed on the table or placed in reserve asdesired. The remaining 1,000 points worth of defending units must be placed in reserve.

The defending army receives the first turn.

The game carries on until all the Super Heavy

Tanks have either left the table or have beendestroyed.

Dawn Attack: The battle begins just beforedawn, and so the Night Fighting rules apply onthe first turn.

Each Super Heavy Tank that leaves the table

edge equates to one victory point to theImperial forces.

Each Super Heavy tank destroyed equates toone victory point to the Necron forces.

The force with the most victory points chooses2 of the Super Heavy Tanks played in thismission and may use them in mission 5. Thelosing force receives the remaining super heavyTank.

In the event of a tie both forces will take 1Stormlord Super Heavy Tank for mission 5

10000 pointsIf the Imperial forces cannot hold this

fortification then all is lost

the Necrons will do everything in their power tostrike fast and hard at the enemy's vitaldefences, regardless of the cost. There can beno half measures when the fate of a world is atstake.

To represent this, previously earthbound troopscan Deep Strike into play. The invader candeploy not only his infantry in this way, but alsohis most powerful close combat troops andeven monstrous creatures!

Army Selection

The Necron and Imperial forces will be each berepresented by a team of three players. Each

player will bring a force of 3000 points asdefined in the Warhammer 40000 rule bookpage 108

Any Super heavy tanks won by each team inMission IV will be added to the relevant armylist.

In addition the Imperial forces will be given theImperial Fortress Fort Pain as represented InApendix I.I

The Necron forces will be given The NecronTitan thingy as represented on page **

Several types of unit have the option to DeepStrike into the thick of things. Infantry, jumpinfantry, jetbikes and monstrous creatures canall Deep Strike. This is a fundamental differencefrom usual games of Warhammer 40,000,enabling you to plummet into the action andget on with the serious business of wresting

objectives from the foe straight away. It's agood idea to familiarise yourself with whichunits in your army can take advantage of thisrule and plan your grand strategy accordingly.

Not all of the attacker's units can pile straightinto the fight - heavier units, such as tanks,must be deployed in a 'drop zone'. A drop zoneis where the attacker's support units makeplanetfall in bulk landers, drop- ships or theirequivalent a few kilometres from the battlefield.Once the defender has set up his terrain, theattacker chooses which table edge is nearest tohis drop zone. Nominate any table edge.

Whenever the attacker rolls for a bike, beast,

cavalry, vehicle or artillery unit to turn up fromreserve, it is from this table edge that the unitsenter play. Mark such units on your army rosterwith 'DZ' if it helps you to remember.

DEPLOYING ATTACKING UNITS SUMMARY Unitsthat always enter play from the drop zone:

The defender's planet, so he may now deployhis units anywhere on the board (he can keepsome in reserve if he wishes - see below).

Naturally, the defender can deploy his unitswithin buildings. Buildings are essentiallyimmobile vehicles that can be occupied byeither side.

The defender may keep as many of his units ashe wishes in reserve. Units that you have kept inreserve cannot be affected by the attacker'spreliminary bombardment (known as afirestorm), so they will enter play at fullstrength. Note that in games of Planetstrike theScout and Infiltrate special rules confer nospecial benefits when deploying, but still allowunits to Outflank as normal. This representsforces from elsewhere on the planet scramblingto the warzone as fast as they can.

Mission Special Rules

The following rules are always used in theAssault on Fort Pain mission.

Each player turn each team may launch one of their against enemy troops, abombardment attack anywhere upon the table.This number of bombardments each team has isdetermined by the number of bombardmentswon on the previous day (see page 3). Roll forscatter as normal, but you may never adjust thescatter roll with Ballistic Skill - these munitionsare being dropped from low orbit, after all. Anincoming bombardment makes plenty of noise,sending ground troops running for cover, so if there is doubt about whether a unit is allowed acover save from a bombardments attack, err onthe side of the defender.

Each bombardment attack has theprofile below:

Unlimited 10 1 Ordanance 1Barrage

Morale tests are never caused by abombardment. However, Pinning tests arecaused as usual, and units that 'go to ground'

will be pinned for the first turn - they areassumed to have dived into foxholes or run forcover.

Any template that lands wholly over openground and does not hit any models or terrainmay be replaced by a crater at the attacker'sdiscretion. This crater remains in place for therest of the game.

A planetary invasion is a desperate battle forsupremacy where ground taken is moreimportant than lives lost and the invaders raindown their forces directly upon the defensenetworks of the foe. The Deep Strike rule isalways used in games of Planetstrike, with thefollowing modifications:

The attacker may always choose to deploy hisinfantry, jump infantry, jetbikes, monstrouscreatures, and vehicles with the Deep Strike rule

by Deep Strike.

Attacking units with the Deep Strike special rulein their unit entry may assault the turn theyenter play, providing that they fulfill all thenormal criteria for an assault (within assaultrange, for example). Note that units that enterplay from a deep striking vehicle do not count!For example, because it has the Deep Strikespecial rule in its unit entry, a Space MarineAssault Squad could both shoot its bolt pistolsand launch an assault the turn it enters play. ASpace Marine Tactical Squad could shoot, butnot assault, because it does not have the DeepStrike rule.

The Reserves rule is always used in the Assault

on Fort Pain mission, with the followingexceptions. All attacking units must start thegame in reserve.

None of the attacker's units will start on-tableat all. Instead the attacker's units enter playeither by Deep Strike as noted above, or bycoming into play from the table edge theattacker has designated as his drop zone. Unitsheld in reserve, be they attacker or defender,use the following table to determine when theyenter play:

Reserves

arrive on: 3+ 2+ Automatically

Note that the attacker's reserves enter playeither by Deep Strike or from the designateddrop zone, whereas the defender's reserves canenter play from a random board edge.Defending units use the normal Deep Strikerules. All other defending units roll on the

following chart when they enter play fromreserve:

1-2 From the table edge opposite theattacker's drop zone.

3-4 From any table edge touching theattacker's drop zone (defender'schoice).

5-6 From the attacker's drop zone.

Backs to the Walls: The defenders have nowhereleft to fall back to. They are all Fearless.

Demolition Crew: All of the attacker's infantryunits are counted as having melta bombs.

Denial: The defender has a free AmmunitionStore stratagem. He may choose to detonatethis ammunition stockpile in a last-ditch effortto deny their enemy victory. So long as at leastone defender is on the table, the defender maydeclare in his Shooting phase that you aredetonating the store. Every unit within 2D6" of the building containing the ammunition storetakes D6 Strength 8 AP 4 hits, and the buildingis automatically destroyed (explodes!).

Necron Strategic Assets

There is no technology in the galaxy that theNecrons cannot twist to their own ends. Nodefence that can forever thwart their influence.

When Revealed: During one of your Shootingphases.

Effect: Nominate one enemy vehicle or super-heavy vehicle within 24" of a Necron Lord. Youmay immediately fire one of that vehicle'sweapons as if the vehicle were under yourcontrol. Once the shot has been resolved, thesubverted vehicle suffers D3 glancing hits thatignore any power fields or void shields it mayhave.

When declared: Pre-game

The Emperor Protects.

A strange concept given the size of the Imperium and itsmultitudes of enemies. But faith in the Throne of Terrahad seen humanity through the last ten thousand yearsand would do so for the next ten thousand.

If only it were that simple mused Governor Batho. Helooked around at his men, desperately trying to holdthemselves together after weeks of fighting against therelentless enemy. Morale was low, physical conditionpoor, and armoured support had been severely depleted.The heroic figure of Drill Sergeant Heinz was the gluebinding them together for the time being, but even thatbond may be broken in the days to come. Looking outacross the scarred battlements of Pyraxia Secundus'largest military complex, dubbed "Fort Pain" by thesoldiers due to its vast array of weapon platforms, theCommissar could see an eerie green glow suffusing themist from which the Pyraean Mountains stood jaggedlike the teeth of a giant carcharadon.

The same green glow had been the first sign of thedeadly unknown xenos. Despite the Imperium havingcolonised the system since the Great Crusade, the aliens

had lain in slumber, awaiting their time to rule again.Bathos knew that the coming days would be his last. Hehad seen the horrific effects the enemy weapons hadupon the defending forces, ripping apart tanks like paperand flaying the skin from mens' bodies. In return onlythe most concentrated volley of fire would down one ofthe monstrosities, but triumphant cheers would turn tosilent horror as the fiend reassembled itself beforerising once more.

He could see them now, not just a few at a time like hadbeen encountered in earlier battles, but hundreds,marching implacably towards the compound. Ahead ofthem, the earth seemed to shift and move with ametallic sheen. He knew what these were, the men haddubbed them "Scarabs", a name which belied their deadlynature. Dwarfing the hordes of warriors, pyramid-likestructures skimmed across the ground, gun turretsbristling across their smooth dark skin.

On pillars of fire the blood red flyers came, speedingtowards the ground at an impossible angle. Behind thred torpedo shaped pods, glowing hot from atmosphentry, screamed towards the earth like vengeance frothe God-Emperor Himself. He watched as, from oneaircraft, side hatches slammed open and gold colourwarriors fanned out into the rushing air with a blaze shining armour, flash of white pinioned wings and aof supersonic fury.
