Un the following pages you will find a vast swathe of missions that your Crusade force can take up as they battle to invade or d At the heart ofthe Charadon Sector lies the forge world of Metalica. It isa beating industrial centre, the unsleeping faub of martial manufacturing and mili might around which the systems of the Obolis, Lirac and many others sub-sectors revolve. When the Great Rift tore the galaxy asunder, Metalica and its surrounding wworids stood strong amidst the pandemonium. Then came Typhus, host of the Destroyer Hive; the Death Guard lord led an immense tr-pronged invasion of the secter upon himselt. Now the entire region is besieged, loyalist and traitor forces eating at one anther across countless contaminated ba orders of Warmaster Abaddon fronts while xenos raiders strike Hike carrion ghouls from the saadows. As the situation within War Zone Charaden became increasingly dire, those who found themselves trapped Within is chaos became increasingly desperate in their search for salvation, Within this mission pack you will find rales that allow you to represent the path down which some of these forces chase to tread, with units {ining lew abilities as they progress ever further towards either damnation or enlightenment. nd the sub-sectors around Metalic, or else try to raid and pillage amongst the ruins. The Corruption of the Weak rules can be used by armies under the sway of the Daemon Prince Be'lakar, and they allow psykers to be upgraded with new abilities taat see them bolster the aggression of those they fight beside ‘or sap the will oftheir enemies. Psykers that reach the highest level can even learn an all new psychic power, chosen fram a selection of available Malediction and Witchfire powers The Awakening of the Strong rules are for those armies that turn to iron and steel to resist the malign powers of the warp. The machine spirits of vehicles in these armies become increasingly capable and independent as their experience grows. In much the same way as psykers using. the Corruption of the Weak rules, these models gain new abilities as they progress along their journey, following 2 path chosen by you, the player ‘There are also a selection of missions presented for all sizes of garncs, based on key events from the Charadon, storyline. Containing unique rules that interact with those described above, these scenarios further your Crusade force's journey as it fights across the s WAR ZUNE CHARADON With the imperium rent in two by the Great Rift, Abaddon the Despoiler had never en closer to victoi ‘the Long War. Thus he moved to put even more pressure on the Emperor's realm. In just ane of many strikes ‘over multiple fronts, Abaddon ordered First Captain Typhus of the Death Guard and Lord Discordant Akhorath X of the Black Legion to strike a Inthe early days ofthe Era Indomitus, raitor forces ran rampant. Thanks. to the patronage ofthe Dark Godt, they plied the raging warp with cease. Through unho'y sorcery they communicated effectively over vast digancet The Tmperinm nat only had no such boons, bt found travel and communication more dangerous than ever before. Asa cesult the traitors inilicted massive casvaties, This was rot enauigh for Abaddon, however He did not want to just loose his warlords to rampage at will: He wanted to destroy the Imperium Sanctus. To do this he needed to destabilise Imperial stranghalde and prevent conrtinated Imperial counterattacks, “The Charadon Sector was one of ‘Abaddon’ targets. Deep within the Litima Segmentum, it was a bastion of military and industrial ‘might, thanks in large part to the presence of the renowned forge ‘world of Metalica and the stalwart Krighteaf Howse Raven Were thie not enough, the sector was else ‘enough fo Ultram: thatthe two regions could form an enormously powerful strategic lynchpin. Thonigh constantly threatened by the expansions ofthe vast Or Empire of the Arch-Acsonist and the Necron Akannazad Dynasty and buttressed by the effects of the Noctis, Asterna, the Charadan Sector was still extremely trang, No matter the threat; Metaicas armies of eyborgs and archeotech war engines crushed ‘enemies with ruthless ficiency. Abaddon determined that Typhus, the First Captain of the Death Guard, ‘would command the campaign. the Charadon Sector. Abaddon tasked one of his Chosen, ord Discordant akhorath Zeid, with finding him ~ together, they would strike at the Charadon Sector, Though Typhus was et that time conducting campaigns of his own Aosign, he ahandoned them at the Warmaster’s command even a warrior as powerful os he could not ignore Abaddon. The Warmaster did | 0 only want to win the campaign, | however, he alsa wanted to crish Imperial morale. In that goal he and ‘Typhus were aligned. The forge world cf Metatica had long claimed that | their machines were incorruptible, Typhus wished ta prave that natior ‘wrong. He wished to subject the forge world to a humiliating, painful and slow demise at the hands of one of the Plague God Nurgles most terrible poxes. “The Tech-Priests of Metalica themselves were possessed ofan ‘uncompromising and hellicose natuce, traits that made their world a beacon of defiance against the enemies of Manicind but also armed them few trie allies within e Imperium. Open in their preferonce for infrastruetare and technology over Human life, they were oppressive in their methods of dealing with dissidents, even by Imperial standards. Though their reprisals ofien led to further unrest, they just saw this as clear evidence of the failures of unaugmented frpanies. Nonstheless, the Metaliean magi were determined fies of the Arch enemy, atid had vest armies to match their eesolve. These armies did not stand alone, Throughout the Charadn Sector, there were countless regiments of As Militarum. Space Marine strike whose orld was in the Obolis Sub- hey Chapters wore ever ready to eliminate any threat that arose, Sisters of Battle From the cardinal world of Alexistor, the shrine world of Humblehope and ‘more all stood eager to hotel back invaders, as well at purge heresies and traitors within Imperial territory. Yet forall the Imperium‘s military might inthe ragin, it wae beleaguered even before Typhus and Zeiss invasion, The Caarus and Phiegy: Sub widespread murations and heretical uprisings. Psychic ema bleak omens became commonplace con many worlds In the face of this the Metaicans became more ectors succumbed to ations and inflexible, and Fabricator General Heptas Rho-Decima Khleng decided enough was enough. He deployed ‘eradication arks~ voidborne techno-atrocities built for orbital rad-bombardment. Their use caused ‘outrage and terror amongst Imperial authorities, It was amidst this time of tense argument and distrust that Typhus and Zeid launched their invasion, This assault came from three ditections at once. The first strike ‘was launched against the Chremyd ‘System and commanded by Lord Thraxoplasmox of the Deeth Guard His forces found a system well gartisoned but with ts troops widely seatiered and in poor position to fesista direct invasion. The garrison ofthe Chromyd System had spent much time in a counter piracy campaign ogains the Drukhat of Telit Hesperas, Wyeh Queen of the Commorrte arenas and many other copyeats ‘he Death Guard assault caused coraplete snarchy Imperial forces desperately tried to rally even as the Drukharlexplotted events for their own depraved and spiteful ends. twas only because of Thraxoplasmer’s desire for & eng, | remained wholly drawn-out war ~ and the suffering id despair that came with it ~ that the Imperium lad the time ane space to form new bale ines, the invasion’ second strike took much the opposite form. The plague ships of Plague Captain Oghlosmus Bilge and Titans of Legio Morbidus Jed a furious assault against the ‘Alumax System. Th multiple worlds in incredible time thanks to the element of surprise ~ they burst out of raging warp tides the lmperlum had litle hope of ever navigating, This was something the Imperium assumed would also be snemies. Very quickly true for thei only the system's tnonitor station nconguered, its ‘overtared Astropaths desperateyy calling for aid "Typhus and Lord Zeid themselves led the invasions third pror the Duralim System, ‘There the eaviest fighting in the early stages ‘of the war took place, First Typhus led his troops against the cardinal world of Alexistor, grinding down the Adepta Sororitss and Imperial Gusrd defenders with ease as witch sadness swept over the plane!. One by one, the world’s temples and cathedra fll, those great symbols of faith toppled and defiled, In the meantime Lord Zeid led his Black La het andl manetone packs of Daemon Engines ageinst numerous worlds. Utilising the veteran skill of his warriors as well as surprise, he overwhelmed his enemies in savage onslaughts. All the while great tides of mutants and cultists rose up everywhere in the system, revealing, themcelves after years in hiding or through the corruption spread by the forres of Chane Among Typhus allies were warriors of other Traitor Legions. One alliance ‘of wo warbands, fram the Alpha Legion and Word Bearers Heretic Astarles, was collectively known as the Disciples. Typhus ordered these warriors 19 wage a shadow War it the deepest part of the Lirac Suh-sectar Thode tatl was to carey out campaign of terror and piracy through the Cyclos and M’bor Systems, to draw the Knights of House Raven to them and thus away from Meraliea.
