RUNNING WRATH & GLORY
arhammer 40,000: Wrath & Glory is a
game of epic adventure in the grim, dark
future of the 41st Millennium. You can find
numerous published adventures for Wrath & Glory at
Cubicle7games.com, and in this supplement you’ll find
an additional eight short adventures and six new NPCs
to add detail and excitement to your games. These are
useful tools for running your next adventure, along
with your new and extremely convenient GM Screen,
of course!
However, there is little more satisfying than creating
your own adventures tailored to your Agents. This is
not as intimidating as it seems, especially if you keep
some of the following guidelines in mind.
TELLING STORIES
Telling a compelling story can be challenging, and
doubly so for the GM of a roleplaying game who is not
in control of all the elements of the narrative. Players
can and will make unexpected decisions. However,
this is one of the things that makes the role of a GM
so interesting — adapting your plans to the actions of
your players. Along with the Golden Rule and Great
Game Rules (Wrath & Glory Rulebook, page 157),
here are a few maxims that may be of use.
Give your Agents agency
In the grim, dark world of Warhammer 40,000, it
can be easy and even tempting to ignore a player’s
agency. After all, Agents are usually working for a
patron who can have them killed at a whim. Should
the Agents go ‘off script’, there are many tools you
can use to force them back on track. In some cases,
this may be necessary, but it is usually far better to
allow players some leeway. The situation in Gilead is
truly desperate, and competent Agents are expected to
rise to the occasion and display some initiative of their
own — after all, if blind obedience were all that was
required, a Servitor could have been sent in their stead.
Use interesting hooks
A hook is anything that draws the Agents into an
adventure. It can be their patron simply ordering
them to investigate, but it can also be much more.
A troublesome Administratum scribe who always
manages to lose vital requisition orders, or an object
unexpectedly out of place — such as an Aeldari Spirit
Stone found on the body of a dead Militarum trooper
— can each serve as an interesting call to adventure.
Remember that a good hook should raise more
questions that it answers — uncovering the rest is the
heart of the adventure.
Fill in the world
If the Agents seem interested in something, make it
interesting. If the object of interest wasn’t originally
part of your plans, don’t be afraid to tie it in somehow,
or add additional depth that can be explored later. If
the Agents start to focus on an underperforming
manufactorum, for example, add some intrigue.
Perhaps its output is being sold on the black market,
or a Chaos cult is sabotaging production. This is much
more satisfying than simply saying there’s nothing
unusual about it, even if that was the case prior to the
Agents’ interest.
Give them what they want
Find out what your Agents want to achieve, and give
them the opportunity to achieve it. This may seem
obvious, but it is worth restating: choose or create
adventures that give your players the chance to
achieve their personal goals.
But always at a price
The galaxy is an uncaring place, and little can be had
without making some sacrifice to obtain it. Never make
things too easy, and remember that a sacrifice can be
more than just a few Wounds: treasured possessions,
hard-won comforts, and loyal NPCs should all be on
the line when it comes to an Agent getting what they
say they want. If an Agent achieves some great goal
but is left wondering if the price they paid was truly
worth it, then you likely have run a compelling and 3
suitably grim, dark game to remember.
 TIER 1 ADVENTURE

TIME TICKS EVER ON

his is a Tier 1 adventure for groups with the
IMPERIUM Keyword. It is especially suitable
for Agents with the ADEPTUS MECHANICUS
Keyword. In this adventure, the Agents contend
with a rogue Lexmechanic whose inability to
comprehend a new time-tracking method has led to a
dangerous divergence.

Tethia Uldort was an aspiring Lexmechanic of the

Adeptus Mechanicus who found her career irrevocably
changed following the appearance of the Great
Rift. In the time that followed, the Archdomina of
Avachrus, Aexekra Vakuul, decreed that a new system
of timekeeping be implemented to take account of
certain chronographic fluctuations caused by the Rift.
She declared that this would render Avachrus the
sole accurate beacon of temporal order in the Gilead
System. Though other Tech-Priests adapted without
issue, Uldort’s Augmetics could not properly parse the
change in chronology, causing an unacceptable number
of statistical errors in her reporting. This is due to an
errant recursive binary incantation causing the Tech-
Priest’s perception of the length of Avachrus’s day/ LEXMECHANIC (TETHIA ULDORT)

ADVENTURE
A mission to stop the efforts of a rogue Lexmechanic in

HOOK
Apprehending the rogue Lexmechanic Tethia Uldort
is of growing importance to the Adeptus Mechanicus.
Uldort’s actions have already caused detrimental
inconsistencies across Belaxia, and no one has yet been
able to calculate the full extent of the damage her rogue
chrono adjustments could cause. Agents affiliated
with the Adeptus Mechanicus receive direct orders to
apprehend her. Several powerful figures outside the
Adeptus Mechanicus have an inkling that something
is wrong on Avachrus and fear the damage should the
world’s manufacturing output fall substantially. These
patrons send the Agents to Belaxia as a preventative
measure, to gain further influence among the senior
Tech-Priests of Avachrus, or to ensure that production
of those supplies they deem most vital is preserved.
ACTION
The Agents must track down Uldort before she can
affect any critical systems with her setting changes.
The hunt begins at a plasma reactor, where the Agents
see the aftermath of Tethia’s latest chrono alterations.
From there, they pick up her trail and eventually track
her down to an abandoned manufactorum.
The Plasma Reactor
As the Agents arrive on scene, they learn that Uldort’s
recent actions almost overloaded one of the city’s holy
plasma reactors, as days’ worth of fuel was shunted
into the device in only a few hours. Only Enginseer
Tariq Bray’s timely intervention averted disaster,
though the reactor will be offline for several days of
prayer to appease its wounded Machine Spirit. A DN
3 Awareness (Int) Test reveals the vent Uldort used
to access the reactor, which leads down several levels.
A DN 3 Tech (Int) Test to examine a half-melted
Servitor shows its point of origin. Success on either
Test also reveals Uldort’s hiding place, an abandoned
manufactorum three levels beneath the reactor. Should
the Agents fail to find it, they may await Bray’s reactor
repair, by which time they will have found clues Uldort
left during her timekeeping reconfigurations.
Abandoned Manufactorum
INTRODUCTION
Uldort’s hiding place is laden with treacherous traps
to try to ward off ‘dogmatic adherents of the incorrect
ADVENTURES
chronology’. Use electricity, fire, and radiation (Wrath
& Glory Rulebook, pages 201–202) to represent PERSONALITIES
Uldort’s traps and the location’s hazards. The Agents OF GILEAD
can use skills like Awareness (Int), Survival (Wil), and
Tech (Int) at DN 5 to avoid or disable these hazards.
Beyond the trapped outer reaches of the manufactorum,
Tethia Uldort has reprogrammed a group of Combat
Servitors (Wrath & Glory Rulebook, page 334) to
protect her. There are two more Combat Servitors
than the number of Agents. The Servitors are poorly
maintained, which reduces their Resilience by 1 and
lowers the damage of their Servo Arms to 7 +2 ED.
Uldort is trying to finish her latest calculations on a
cogitator unit on a raised gantry. Two Servitors are
by her side. When the Agents arrive, she has her
remaining Servitors engage from the ground floor,
while she provides support with her Laspistol from
above. She fights until she runs out of Servitors, then
reluctantly tries to surrender.
AFTERMATH
If the Agents killed the Lexmechanic, they need to
report to the Avachrus’s Adeptus Mechanicus, who
are pleased with the removal of an erratic element.
However, the Tech-Priests refuse to acknowledge that
a Lexmechanic could be capable of nearly destroying a
forge city with errant code amendments.
If the Agents didn’t kill Uldort, she explains her issue
with the updated timekeeping method, using it to ask
for clemency. Agents who succeed at a DN 6 Insight
(Fel), Intimidation (Wil), Medicae (Int), Persuasion
(Fel), Scholar (Int), or Tech (Int) Test convince Uldort
of the error of her ways, or notice a malfunction in one
of her Augmetics that is responsible for her inability to
process the new chronological pattern. Helping Uldort
overcome her problem grants the Agents a useful ally
for future adventures, best represented with increased
Influence or bonuses in a longer-term campaign.

 TIER 1 ADVENTURE

ALL THAT GLITTERS

Tier 1 adventure for Agents with the IMPERIAL
Keyword. The party is sent to investigate
unusual deaths on a mining asteroid.
For the past few years, House Braul has been pressing
hive scum from Gilead Primus into service and using
them to mine rich mineral veins on an asteroid known
as the Lodestone. The Lodestone’s ‘ores’ are actually
the crushed remnants of ancient xenos machinery
instead of natural rock or sediment. House Braul is
careful to smelt these ‘ores’ into ingots on-site before
shipping them to Avachrus, where the Adeptus
Mechanicus pay handsomely for them.
An Inquisitor from the Ordo Xenos, Coldras Maltara,
learned of this through his agents on Avachrus.
Rather than seize the asteroid and censure House
Braul, however, Maltara began experimenting with the
xenos tech on the Lodestone. The asteroid’s relative
isolation, its population of disposable hive scum, and
the Inquisitor’s new-found leverage over House Braul
all combined to make it the perfect location for Maltara
to pursue some of his more radical ideas on the use of
xenos technology.
Not all in the Ordo Xenos share Maltara’s willingness
to experiment with dangerous xenos technology.
Another Inquisitor of the Ordo, Mordanne Rawe, has
a long-standing grudge against Maltara and has
grown suspicious of his activities on the Lodestone.
Unfortunately, her grudge is well known, and any overt
action on her part would likely be dismissed by her
fellows as simply one more sparring session in their
decades-long rivalry.
Rather than act openly, Rawe has chosen to act through
a group of deniable assets: the Agents. Either by
working with or bribing their existing patron, or by
working through a third party, Rawe has arranged
for the Agents to gain access to the asteroid in order
to investigate rumours of suspicious deaths among
the labourers there. If the Agents are successful in
uncovering Maltara’s heretical research, the Inquisitor
may well reveal herself and recruit them in a more
formal way. If they fail, she will deny ever having
known of their existence.

Maltara’s initial experiments have borne fruit. A cache

of small, insect-like machines have proved to possess
the unique ability to interface directly with Human
brains. So far, Maltara has implanted the devices in a
half-dozen denizens, and to his delight, they all have
became model workers, ceaselessly excavating more
buried technology. The Inquisitor idly dreams of the
day the technology might be used to make all menials
so compliant.

Unfortunately for all involved, the devices are

Mindshackle Scarabs, ancient Necron devices once
used to bend living minds to another’s will. What
Maltara takes to be meek compliance by the labourers
is instead a simple command left in the memory circuits
of the Scarabs, now millions of years old — if you are
disturbed, unearth and alert more Necrons. Every load
6 of rock hauled out by the Scarabs’ hosts brings them
one step closer to fulfilling this command.
Mindshackle Scarabs
When fully repaired and operational, Mindshackle
Scarabs are capable of embedding themselves in a
Human cortex with little outside aid. The ones Maltara
has recovered are damaged and partially inactive,
however, and must be implanted by the Inquisitor
or someone else willing to introduce xenotech into
Human brains. Once implanted, a victim gains +1
to Determination and Resolve and can ignore the
penalties for being Exhausted or Wounded. They suffer
+3 DN to all Fel-based Tests. If they perceive a threat,
they become Frenzied (see Wrath & Glory Rulebook,
page 199). If they are killed, then the Scarab chews
its way out of their head and scuttles back to its nest.
Examining a victim’s corpse requires a DN 4 Medicae
(Int) Test, and success reveals that the body has been
pushed beyond its physical tolerances, resulting in the
failure of multiple organs. Horrifyingly, immediately
post-mortem, something a few centimetres long
burrowed its way out of the victim’s brain. Any
characters using Psyniscience (Wrath & Glory
Rulebook, page 267) around such a corpse notice a
strange, chilling void — as though the soul has been
sucked away.

 TIER 2 ADVENTURE

BLOOD AND PROMETHIUM INTRODUCTION

ADVENTURES

Tier 2 adventure for four Agents with the
IMPERIUM Keyword. Every minor power on
Charybdion trades on the black market for
promethium. But not every deal ends well…
Promethium is the vital export of Charybdion, and as
long as regular deliveries of the fuel run smoothly, a
certain amount of graft and corruption is overlooked.
This has led to thriving black-market trade between
Charybdion and the other worlds of Gilead. One trade
route sees stolen promethium shipped off-world by
Christas Jelk, a Worldfish hunter with a substantial
fleet of ships. In return, he receives refined minerals
that Charybdion is naturally poor in. This is tolerated
and even tacitly acknowledged to be useful by
the authorities of Hive Aidon, where the minerals
ultimately end up and where they are put to good
use. However, the lack of official permission for these
activities means that smugglers are very much on their
own should anything go wrong.
Naturally, something has gone terribly wrong. Jelk’s
last two shipments were attacked at their rendezvous
site and their goods stolen away. The old sailor is livid,
but he has few options. Frustrated by the incessant
attacks, he has burned a decade’s worth of favours
to convince Hive Aidon nobility to use their influence
to pressure Jakel Varonius into rendering aid. Keen to
secure one more source of promethium for his fleet,
Unfortunately, their long rivalry with Charybdion PERSONALITIES
means that the prices offered to Enoch are always OF GILEAD
high. One faction of the synod has decided to take
matters into their own hands. Through the mole,
they have been learning of upcoming shipments in
order to ambush them during the handover. They of
course have also learned of the imminent shipment
to Varonius, but they do not know that it is for the
Rogue Trader.
Along with a cadre of a dozen Enforcers hired from
among Enoch’s stranded pilgrims, a single Penitent
Engine has been dispatched to ensure the synod
obtains the promethium. The Penitent Engine contains
the mortified form of Lakius Malukk, a minor noble
from outside the system who was on pilgrimage to
Gilead when the system was cut off. Unused to much in
the way of prolonged suffering, Malukk was overheard
quipping that his ration of corpse starch was too small
‘and tasted of heretic’. As all properly prepared corpse
starch is rendered both ritually and spiritually pure, this
was deemed heresy. The unfortunate noble was bound
inside of a Penitent Engine, mainly out of respect for
his rank, and has served the synod ever since.

ADVENTURE
A promethium shipment for Varonius’s fleet is due to
be stolen by agents of the Enochian Synod. It is up to
the Agents to intervene.
HOOK
The Varonius Flotilla is continually running short on
materials, but especially promethium, the vital fuel
for so many ships’ subsystems. Charybdion is the
only reliable source of the fuel, which is pumped from
beneath the planet’s vast sea.
10
Unfortunately, demand far outstrips supply, and
Varonius has had to give greater and greater
concessions to the authorities of Hive Aidon to secure
an ongoing supply. An opportunity to change this
arose when Varonius learned that a Worldfish hunter,
Christas Jelk, has a sideline in smuggling cheap
promethium to interested parties. Unfortunately for
Jelk, his agents have come under attack recently. It is
clear that some third party knows of the smuggler’s
plans and is using that knowledge to rob him.
If Jelk can be helped, he has promised the next three
shipments to Varonius at a substantial discount —
supplying vital fuel to the power-starved flotilla.
ACTION
Jakel Varonius briefs the Agents through an
intermediary, preferably one familiar with the Agents
and whom Varonius can squarely control. The
intermediary explains the situation: a promethium
smuggler on Charybdion needs protection so that
Varonius can make him his promethium smuggler.
Local forces will not get involved, as turning a blind
eye to smuggling is an age-old tradition on the planet.
Varonius has arranged to receive the next promethium
shipment, and the Agents will receive a small cargo
skiff and pilot to collect it on his behalf. If anything
goes wrong, the Agents are to deal with it themselves.
Above all, the fuel supplies must be secured and safely
brought off-world. All other concerns are secondary.
Arriving at Razor Reef
Charybdion is a storm-wracked ocean world, and
Razor Reef a small rocket island in the midst of its vast
and turbulent seas. The only reason the island stands
is because it is made of a particularly hard and sharp
volcanic stone vomited up from the depths just a few
decades ago. The shuttle approach is rough, requiring a
DN 3 Fear Test of any Agent who is new to Charybdis
or unused to operating in low gravity. Varonius has
provided proper identification and authorisations, but
given the illicit nature of the cargo, he has not informed
Hive Aidon of the Agents’ presence.
Luckily, only a handful of people cling to life on the
island, mostly fishers and a handful of Militarum
personnel who maintain a hub in Charybdion’s
defence nexus there. The latter, members of the Gilead
Gravediggers, are confined to a small base on the
north end of the island, and they attempt to stay out
of any trouble that doesn’t threaten their duty directly.
The Agents’ shuttle puts down at an old loading bay
on the southern end of the island, where an ancient set
of Galvanic Servohaulers have somehow been found
and refitted for the purpose of moving the promethium
from Jelk’s ship to the shuttle.
Getting Ready
The shuttle arrives the day before the shipment is due,
and Agents who wisely wish to prepare for a potential
ambush have a number of options. A unit of 10 Gilead
Gravediggers may be coaxed down from their camp in
the north with a DN 5 Deception (Fel) or Persuasion
(Fel) Test, reduced to DN 4 if the Agent suggests that
any attack might harm the base. Agents who succeed
on a DN 3 Survival (Wil) Test can successfully create
some fortifications that will provide cover during
any ambush.
Agents may also attempt to speak with the local
fishers, most of whom spend their days hauling great
fish from the waters and shipping them to the hive
cities. However, one group is not what they seem. New
to the island, having arrived just a few days earlier,
they have a camp on the east side, where a handful of
surprisingly pale-looking fishers have been preparing
their boat for days without ever leaving port. These are
the Ministorum agents, tipped off to the rendezvous
by their mole and awaiting the arrival of Jelk’s ship.
Agents who speak with them and succeed on a DN 4
Insight (Fel) Test realise they are hiding something,
but not precisely what.
If the Agents attack this group, they respond in kind,
unleashing 10 ten pilgrims (use the Enforcer profile,
Wrath & Glory Rulebook, page 331) and their
Penitent Engine. If the Ministorum agents are defeated,
the handover the following morning goes off without
a hitch. If not, they attack in late morning, after most
of the promethium has been unloaded from Jelk’s ship
but before it is secured aboard the shuttle for transport.

Ministorum forces attack mid-morning as described OF GILEAD
above, attempting to defeat Jelk’s crew and the Agents
before securing the fuel and the shuttle for themselves.
Once it is clear that the Ministorum forces are defeated,
a member of Jelk’s crew, Gaius Selat, begins to behave
nervously and attempts to slip away as soon as
possible. Agents who succeed on a DN 4 Cunning
(Fel) Test catch Selat as he flees. They find a small
Vox system stashed away among his possessions. It
is clear that he is the mole, and Jelk would like to feed
him to the ocean on the spot — whether to allow this
is up to the Agents.
AFTERMATH
If the Agents managed to secure the fuel, Varonius is
pleased about having another source of promethium,
even if it is technically illegal. Still, better that the
fuel ends up in his ships’ holds than traded around
Gilead to less scrupulous individuals. Additionally, if
the Agents were able to detain Gaius Selat and his
vox, the opportunity to influence or even blackmail
the Enochian Synod is handed to the Rogue Trader on
a plate — a very useful bargaining tool. Without the
mole, it is impossible to prove the synod’s involvement,
despite the presence of their forces at the ambush.
If the Agents failed to discover and detain Gaius, then
shipments continue for a while before ambushes
resume and Jelk is killed in the fighting. Even if the
Agents are again dispatched to secure the trade route,
the new captain is far less accommodating and charges
Varonius a premium for the increased risk.
If the Agents were unable to secure the fuel, then the
Varonius Flotilla is forced to scale back operations to
preserve what fuel they can, allowing the darkness at
the edge of the Gilead System to encroach a little more.

HOOK
There’s nothing to do in the Gilead System but fight,
and that suits Orks down to the ground. Of course,
every good Ork Boy worth his teef knows that to
wage big wars, you need big piles of scrap. Warboss
Vazdrok Spikey-Smasha (or another Ork patron) tasks
the Agents with taking part in a kunnin’ plan to steal
a payload of scrap from the metal ’umiezs of Avachrus.
The Agents receive transport near the planet aboard
Smasha, an Ork Kroozer, and then head down to the
sun side on board a Landa craft. Now, it’s up to the
Agents to collect as much scrap as they can before the
Landa leaves.
ACTION
The adventure begins with the Agents aboard Smasha,
a Landa craft, as it makes its way towards one of
the servo-haulers that walks across the light side of
Avachrus. During the short journey, the Agents have
the chance to prepare any kunnin’ plans they have
for the raid, as well as to review any information
they have on the facility. Since they’re Orks, this is
predominantly their knowledge of the metal Humiez
who guard the place, and how to krump ’em. The
Agents are introduced to a host of Grots travelling
with them. The Grots tail the Agents on their mission
and return to the Landa with any good scrap or shiny
gubbinz they find.
Scavenging
When the Agents enter the servo-hauler, the defenders
are in a state of low alert. The facility is patrolled by
Skitarii Vanguard and Combat Servitors (Wrath &
Glory Rulebook, page 334).
The servo-hauler has five zones. Navigating each zone
requires a DN 3 Athletics (S), Awareness (Int), or
Stealth (A) Test. Tests represent moving through
damaged sections, noticing and avoiding patrols of
Skitarii, noticing the tracks of moving defenders, and
interacting with the hauler’s machinery to access
important paths.
‘Salvaging’ scrap from each zone requires a DN 3 Tech
(Int) or Weapon Skill (I) Test. Failure attracts d6
Combat Servitors, a Complication attracts d3 Skitarii
Vanguard, and a failure and a Complication on the
same roll attracts both.
The more the Agents fail at navigation or salvage
checks or confront the hauler’s defenders, the higher
the alert status gets.
INTRODUCTION
After three confrontations, the defenders are at
high alert.
ADVENTURES
High Alert PERSONALITIES
Once the Orks trigger the hauler’s high-alert status, OF GILEAD
the Skitarii defenders come out in force. The Agents
encounter at least one Mob of ten Skitarii Vanguard
defenders, who engage the Orks in one of the hauler’s
larger storage modules. The cargo contains enough
cover that the Agents can approach the Mob without
being completely gunned down by radium weaponry
(for example, they have +2 Defence). A lot of containers
in the hold are explosive or flammable, functioning as
Frag Grenades (Wrath & Glory Rulebook, page 220).
Agents can give up their attack to scavenge one of the
12 large pieces of titanium ore stored in the area.
Get to da Landa!
Once the Agents trigger the high alert, it’s only a
matter of time before the full might of the Adeptus
Mechanicus forces fall upon them. Three turns after
high alert begins, the Landa pilot contacts the Agents
and demands they return so they can get off the world
with their plunder. The Boyz have to fight their way
back to the Landa with the entire facility after them.
AFTERMATH
While the adventure assumes the Agents get away
once the Landa takes off, it’s possible that the Adeptus
Mechanicus despatches one or more Archaeopters
(Church of Steel, page @@) to try to stop the Agents
from escaping. Such an encounter could be a capstone
to the adventure, introducing the Agents to vehicle
combat and forcing them to open the Landa’s hatches
and battle against the Skitarii flyers.
Once the Landa makes its escape from Avachrus, the
Agents are free to return to their patron with their
scavenged scrap. Big Mek Madspannerz takes the
scavenged loot with glee, offering to turn it into kustom
gubbinz for the Agents (effectively increasing their
Wealth by 1 or 2). Warboss Vazdrok Spikey-Smasha
has now seen the Agents’ brutality and kunnin’ in
action and is eager to use them for his upcoming 13

ADVENTURE
HOOK
The Farseers of Ul-Khari have informed the Greensteel
Corsairs that the mon-keigh are close to uncovering
an ancient trove of barbaric weapons from their
civilisations’ zenith. While crude by Aeldari standards,
these terrible weapons are sufficiently lethal to
threaten the fragile balance of powers in Gilead, and
may convince the Imperium that their alliance with
the Aeldari is unnecessary. The Greensteel Corsairs
dispatch the Agents to infiltrate the installation and
stop the mon-keigh intruders from uncovering the
ancient weapons — ideally by driving them off, but by
securing the weapons for retrieval or even destroying
them if they must.
ACTION
The Agents are carried to the surface of the asteroid
via an elegant and stealthy, albeit cramped, voidship.
From there they will have to infiltrate the upper levels
of the Adeptus Mechanicus base. The base has been
damaged by some ancient blast, most of the circuitry
burned out. However, there are signs of recent repairs
and newer machinery as well; both gravity and life-
sustainer systems appear to be working.
Floating servo skulls and pairs of stomping servitors
equipped with heavy weaponry patrol the upper
levels. Eluding such clunky defenders should be
simple for the subtle Aeldari. However, should the
Adeptus Mechanicus become aware of their presence,
they will seal doors in their path and dispatch their
best defenders, a Maniple of Skitarii that protect the
Tech-Priests themselves. Well armed, these make for
quite potent foes who fight with crude but effective
mechanical proficiency.
The lower levels are mines that the ancient Explorators
sank into the asteroid’s depths. There are the hulks of
ancient machines, hoppers full of ore, and a profusion
of pipes, vents and shafts. Finding a way past the
hunting Skitarii may be challenging, but it’s good
ground for ambushes, and easy to seal up or collapse
tunnels with explosives.
The lowest level gives over to the vault in which the
Phosphex weapons are sealed. While the architecture
is that of the Imperium during the Dark Age of
Technology, the doors have been reinforced by the
Aeldari of old who helped to seal the cache away.
INTRODUCTION
There’s evidence of heavy damage here, reminders of
ADVENTURES
desperate battles fought to secure the cache and hide
any evidence of its existence. Smashed wraithbone PERSONALITIES

brutal mon-keigh ignored their dire warnings.
In the center of the final vault the Aeldari find the Tech-
Priests, huddled around a single massive bomb clearly
intended to be dropped from a Marauder Colossus
or similar aircraft. Around them the ancient cache of
horrific weapons looms, dripping with malice. They
are so intent on their discovery that they are hardly
aware of the infiltrators. While killing the mon-keigh
and securing the Phosphex weapons for collection may
be the easiest solution, the Farseers have warned that
the weapons must remain on the asteroid to have any
chance of playing their part in the future of the Ul-Khari
craftworld. How the Agents wish to handle this is up
to them. The Tech-Priests can be negotiated with, and
are not of one mind as to how the cache should be
handled. At least one, Ypsilon Silo-9, is sympathetic
to the ancient rogue Tech-priest Veriliad, who was so
horrified by the substance that he destroyed the sole
STC template that could be used to create Phosphex.
If the Agents are unable to convince the mon-keigh to
abandon the cache, they will either have to abandon
their mission, seal the vault with explosives, or ignite
the massive cache of Phosphex, likely losing their
lives, but denying the Archdominus her prize.
AFTERMATH
If the Adeptus Mechanicus retrieve the Phosphex it is
used to gain the upper hand in several conflicts across
Gilead, securing the supremacy of Avachrus. However,
the Adeptus Mechanicus are reckless, and millions
perish. The resulting death and bloodshed only feeds
the forces of Chaos in the system. If the Agents destroy
or take the Phosphex Ul-Khari is doomed, a keystone
piece of an ancient prophecy denied.
However, if the Agents convince Ypsilon Silo-9 to
reseal the vault, then the minute chance that the
Phosphex may aid Ul-Khari — perhaps by setting 15
alight whatever evil stalks Trollius — is preserved.

Jakel Varonius tasks the Agents with travelling to
Ampere Spire, locating the shuttle and its crew, and
eliminating any remaining Revisionist Kernel acolytes
they encounter. Above all, they must not draw much
attention to themselves in doing so, as the Fabricator
General has not been informed of their presence.
At Ampere Spire, the Agents must gain access to
highly confidential dock logs, either by convincing the
Tech Adept overseers to allow it or through subterfuge.
Either way, they attract the attention of the Tech-Priest
Dominus who rules the factory forge. The Dominus
sends a Tech-Priest with some Combat Servitors

tact to negotiate. Regardless of their choice, the
Dominus grudgingly agrees to help in order to avoid

Manufactorum Tetra-9, a facility deep within the spire
that once produced Munitorum Armoured Crates. It has
been idle of late due to the ongoing materials shortage.
The Agents must find their way through the high-
security fortress to locate a hidden Servitor fabrication
plant. There, a secretive Kernel cell has subverted a
small part of the Servitor production line to create
Kataphron Destroyer Battle Servitors loyal to them.

delayed, this might include Ivar and the other officers!
These Combat Servitors are typical cybernetic drones

ADVENTURES
HOOK PERSONALITIES
OF GILEAD
Captain Elissa Tantalus thought she had destroyed the
Revisionist Kernel cult, but one last cell remains on
Avachrus. They have abducted several naval officers,
including Tantalus’s brother, Ivar. The group means to
convert the officers into Combat Servitors loyal only
to them. Hamstrung by diplomacy, but willing to help,
Jakel Varonius dispatches the Agents to Avachrus
to assist.
ACTION
Jakel Varonius and Captain Tantalus brief the Agents
personally. They explain that the Revisionist Kernel
is a rogue Adeptus Mechanicus faction that Tantalus
and her forces nearly destroyed. As he died, the cult’s
leader, Magus Drevak, revealed that agents of his had
compromised a shuttle from Tantalus’s ship and sent it
to Avachrus, ‘where their pathetic flesh might be remade
to better serve the True Omnissiah’. The Agents are
being dispatched without informing the local authorities,
as, for reasons unclear to Varonius, Fabricator General
Vakuul wishes to declare the matter closed.
The Rogue Trader orders the Agents to track down Ivar
and the other officers by any means necessary and
stop the rogue Adeptus Mechanicus from converting
them. Captain Tantalus provides some details about the
officers — they are all loyal and competent servants of
the Emperor — but she does not mention Ivar. If asked
specifically, Tantalus says only that he was ‘adequate’.
A successful DN 3 Insight (Fel) Test reveals that the
Captain is extremely distressed about her brother, and
that this is likely why Varonius is keeping her far away
from Avachrus.
17
 Ampere Spire
The transport containing Ivar and the other officers has
been logged and its Human contents recorded. If the
Agents find this strange — after all, the officers surely
would have protested being treated as mere cargo
— remind them that to many on Avachrus, Humans
are simply one more material component to be used.
Finding the officers is a matter of searching the shipping
logs for Human transports, and cargo manifests for
Ivar’s description. Such records are heavily guarded by
Tech Adept overseers, however, and they refuse access.
Persuasion is difficult: An Agent must succeed on a
DN 6 Test using an appropriate Fellowship-based Skill.
Logical arguments, or having a Tech Adept or Tech-
Priest in the party, reduce the DN by 1. Alternatively,
the Agents may attempt to infiltrate the data banks
with DN 5 Stealth (A) and DN 6 Tech (Int) Tests.
They eventually find Ivar’s file regardless, but success
on both Tests means they are not detected while doing
so. The files indicate that the officers have been taken
to a subsection of the Grotto Militant, a manufactorum
devoted to Munitorum storage equipment.
If the Agents are detected, they are confronted by the
forces of Dominus Ferranis Rho-7, who has dominion
over the logistical systems of Ampere Spire. The
Dominus dispatches a team of five Combat Servitors
(Wrath & Glory Rulebook, page 334) led by a lower-
ranking Tech-Priest, Agus Phi-9, to detain them. Agus
Phi-9 gives the Agents a chance to explain themselves
before setting the Combat Servitors on them, and he
can be reasoned with. If a fight breaks out, he lets the
Servitors do the fighting — his speciality is engineering,
not combat. If the Agents tell Agus the reason for their
presence, he informs them that it is unlikely, though not
impossible, as the Grotto Militant has been inactive for
some time. If the Agents have negotiated successfully
without resorting to violence, Agus provides a simple
route to the Grotto via service tunnels.
The Grotto Militant
If the Agents have avoided Agus entirely, the
Revisionist Kernel have no idea they are coming and
take no special precautions to hide their activities.
The Grotto, which should be silent, is clearly active,
and the Agents are able to track a Servo-Skull to the
Servitor production facility.
If anyone detected the Agents’ viewing of the shipping
logs, Domnius Ferranis has by now scanned the Grotto.
18 Regardless of their earlier behaviour, he contacts
the Agents by vox and directs them to the Servitor
facility. Unfortunately, the Domnius’s access to local
subsystems was being watched for, and the Revisionist
Kernel forces are preparing an ambush for the Agents.
At the Servitor production facility, the remainder of the
Revisionist Kernel are busy converting the mewling,
drugged Humans into Kataphron Destroyer Battle
Servitors, an especially dangerous Combat Servitor
variant. If the Kernel have been alerted, they have
already activated four of these to cover the production
facility’s entrance, and a fifth is hidden outside, ready
to block off the Agents’ escape. If the Kernel have
not been alerted, then each round for 4 rounds, one
Kataphron Destroyer is activated until all five are
active. The Revisionist Kernel members here are techs
and no match for the Agents in combat. They rely on
their Servitors to do the fighting.
If the Agents arrived without delay and were not
discovered, they can rescue all of the officers. If they
were detected but did not delay, they can rescue at
least Ivar. If they were detected and were delayed, then
Ivar too has been turned into a Combat Servitor.
AFTERMATH
If the Agents have eliminated the threat and saved
the officers, Jakel Varonius is very grateful. He may
outright grant each a Rare item or even promise them
a (reasonable) favour. He is somewhat less grateful if
only Ivar has been saved. Either way, Dominus Ferranis
is also (grudgingly) thankful and may streamline
requisition of augmetics (+1 bonus to Influence Tests).
Eliminating the threat but failing to rescue either the
officers or Ivar results in Varonius thanking the Agents
but granting no special reward. Dominus Ferranis is
still grateful, however.
If the Agents have failed to stop the Revisionist Kernel
or have allowed them to escape by fleeing from the
Servitors, then the Kernel’s corruption spreads. The
rogue code the Kernel used to control their Servitors
infiltrates many systems, and a few short weeks later,
various uprisings happen across the system. Each
begins with an important leader’s Combat Servitors
turning on them, and each ends in bloodshed. It quickly
becomes clear that even the Revisionist Kernel were
merely a tool in the hands of a greater threat, however,
as strange ships darken the skies over several worlds…

 ADVENTURE
A race to stop the forces of Chaos from performing a
ritual that could expose the Forge World to the heretical
worship of the Dark Gods and turn Avachrus into a
beachhead for Chaos incursions into the Materium.
HOOK
Almost every patron in the region has reason to
dispatch Agents to prevent the corruption of an Eternal
Engine. The Agents infiltrate the seized Engine and
disrupt the ritual in a spearhead mission. A member of
the Suspire, the mysterious Tech-Priests who maintain
the Eternal Engines, joins the Agents on their mission
and provides important information on the operation
of the technological wonder.
The Farseers of Ul-Khari have seen the danger posed
by the Faithful Writ’s actions. They’ve dispatched a
group of Aeldari Agents to stop the forces of Chaos.
This group could very well be the party, or even a lone
ally temporarily aiding the Imperium in preventing the
ritual from succeeding.
ACTION
This adventure begins when the Agents enter the
captured Eternal Engine. The exact method of entry
should vary based on the Agents’ background. Options
might include a Valkyrie insertion into the lower levels
or the use of an ancient and hidden Aeldari Webway
gate that was built here long before the Imperium
controlled Avachrus. Regardless of their method
of entry, the Agents begin in the lower levels of the
Eternal Engine and must ascend through automated
lifts and stairways to the upper levels.
20
Ascent
As soon as they arrive, the Agents are under threat
from the forces of Chaos. An escalating tide of the
Faithful Writ’s forces descend upon the Agents, who
must combat them in their efforts to reach the ritual
site within the Engine. At first, Mobs of Mutants and
Cultists (Wrath & Glory Rulebook, pages 333 and
337–338) harass the Agents, descending by the dozens
to try to stop them from reaching their target. Present
this combat as cinematically as possible, running just 1
round to showcase the Tier 4 Agents as paragons who
can devastate most weak enemies.
Daemonic Influence
Ascending the Eternal Engine, the Agents eventually
reach an area under complete daemonic influence.
A portion of reality is beginning to meld with the
Immaterium at this point, and the Agents must contend
with horrific daemonic foes in order to proceed. Here,
the Agents come across hosts of daemonic Threats
(Wrath & Glory Rulebook, page 345) who infest the
cold Adeptus Mechanicus facility.
Ritual’s End
Breaking through the daemonic line, the Agents
finally come face to face with the ritual’s architect.
The Terminator Word Bearer Champion, Enludal the
Enlightener, directs the ritual site and a squad of Chaos
Space Marines (Wrath & Glory Rulebook, page 343).
In this climactic showdown, the Agents battle the
powerful Chaos Champion and his cohort of Chaos Space
Marines as the Materium buckles around them. Aside
from combat, the Agents can utilise Skills like Psychic
Mastery (Wil) and Scholar (Int) to learn about and
disable the ongoing daemonic ritual: successes at DN 4
in 3 consecutive rounds ends the ritual.
AFTERMATH
The ritual’s defeat sends the remaining Chaos forces into
disarray. The Imperial forces in the area quickly mop
up the remaining foes, with the daemonic incursions
dissipating almost immediately after the Agents’ success.
The Gilead System’s rulers are truly indebted to the
Agents for their actions. The unification of such a large
Imperial force on Avachrus proves that the Imperium
in the Gilead System can mobilise effectively, and the
Agents could utilise this new massed multi-military
force to launch further campaigns against Chaos or
other forces that threaten the Forsaken System!

Sick of waiting on Goldteef’s promised invasion of

the ’umie worlds, the upstart Reddaxe has staged an
uprising, having recruited a crew of truly bloodthirsty
Orks to seize the Executioner for their own purposes.
Orks quickly rally around success (and the promise of
a good fight). If Reddaxe can take the asteroid, then
this first attack will surely be the spark that ignites
WAAAGH! Reddaxe, bringing ruin and devastation to
the Heartworlds of Gilead.

After rushing past the small Imperial defence fleet,

he smashes his vessel straight into the Executioner’s
surface, leaving thousands of Orks flooding out into
the caverns, hungry for fighting and loot.

Unbeknownst to either group, the Executioner’s

collision course with Charybdion is no accident. The
Death Guard, a Chaos Space Marines legion in service
to Nurgle, filled the asteroid with raw, weaponised
pestilence — a foul mix of Nurgle’s myriad contagions.
They then nudged the rock’s orbit to send it careening
towards Charybdion, hoping that when it strikes,
Nurgle’s corruption will spread across the world.
21
 By the time the Space Marines breach the caverns,
the Plague Marines are already defending their toxic
caches against the Orks, and the Space Marines have
no choice but to fight their way through. Figuring out
that the Space Marines were bound to kick off a big
fight, Reddaxe sends his best Boyz to kill them before
they can do his brutal, ‘kunnin’’ plan a mischief.
Even this isn’t the whole story: strange and ancient
technology pervades the rock, remains of the xenos
who once claimed it...
Typical Encounters
Space Marines: 5 Tactical Space Marines (Wrath &
Glory Rulebook, page 330). The Space Marines make
use of hit-and-run tactics and well-planned ambushes
to whittle down and delay enemy forces before
launching a decisive killing blow.
22
Blood Axes: 5 Nobs, 20 Kommandos, and 1 Killa Kan
(Wrath & Glory Rulebook, pages 355–356 and 359).
Death Guard: 5 Plague Marines, 50 Mutants (Mob),
and 2 Chaos Spawn (Wrath & Glory, pages 333, 342–
343, and 352). If a Complication is rolled in combat
near a cache, one of the barrels bursts, showering those
nearby in corrupting toxins and disease. Exploding
Barrel: 9 + 2 ED / Blast (6), Inflict (Poisoned 6).
Naturally, the Plague Marines are immune to this.
The Tomb Chamber
As the central chamber is breached, three twisted
spires of Necron technomancy rise ominously from the
ground. They exude a strong antipsychic field, lashing
anything living with arcs of crackling, fluorescent-
green lightning.
Arming the warhead requires three DN 7 Tech (Int)
Tests, although more than one can be attempted in a
single round. (If the Agents are playing Orks, assume
it takes the Space Marines 3 rounds.)
ADVENTURE
Charybdion’s fate hangs in the balance as powerful
forces struggle to control a rogue asteroid on a
collision course.
HOOK
Imperial: The Agents are a Primaris Space Marine
strike team. They’re sent in via a Termite burrowing
machine, along with a cyclonic warhead and a teleport
beacon for extraction.
Orks: The Agents are the toughest and fightiest Orks
that happened to be aboard the Moon-Bita when it
smashed into the ‘rok’. Butcha Reddaxe is offering a
big chest of teeth if they can kill the Space Marines.
ACTION
By the time the Space Marines arrive, the Blood Axes
and Death Guard are already engaged in pitched battle
through the outer caverns. There’s Terra-normal
gravity and somewhat breathable (if dusty and foul)
air. Strung about the place are filthy lights connected
to rusty generators of ancient Imperial design.
The Death Guard have drawn up around their precious
caches of toxic filth, supported by their Mutant
workforce and Chaos Spawn, those workers already
irrevocably twisted by the plagues. With nowhere to
go, they fight with a cold, fearless ferocity, extracting
a heavy toll on any attackers. Stray shots regularly
burst open the barrels, spraying foul fluids and
gasses everywhere, none of which seems to concern
the defenders.
Although the cyclonic warhead is movable on its
suspensor sled, it is far from stealthy, and the clock is
ticking. The Astartes are forced to punch through the
battling enemy forces, heading as swiftly as possible
for the central cavern. As soon as it becomes evident
that there’s a third force in play, Butcha collects up the
toughest mob of Orks he can find and promises them
a big chest of teeth if they can kill the Space Marines.
Butcha has no intention of leaving himself — not only
are the Death Guard and their Mutants the larger force,
but he’s taken a liking to the spiked helmet of one of
the bigger servants of Nurgle, too.
A series of clashes and running battles follow as the

PERSONALITIES
OF GILEAD
their superhuman physique, superior training, and
unshakeable faith. Orks are nothing if not determined,
though, and will continue a dogged pursuit. The Death
Guard have set up their caches at choke points, and
they prove formidable foes to anyone passing through.
At the very heart of the Executioner lies a chamber
unlike the rest: a titanic area clad in dark stone and
etched with crawling runes that spark and glow with
a greenish hue. As the invaders enter, three strange
towers rise from the stone, and beams of crackling,
fluorescent-green light play around them. Every living
being in the chamber feels a cold shadow cast over
their soul as the Necron Sentry Pylons awaken.
The Space Marines have the unenviable task of
priming the warhead whilst being attacked by the
remaining Orks, and both sides are lashed by the
Pylons’ Gauss Flayer Arcs. Should the Space Marines
succeed, they can then activate their teleport beacon
and be snatched away before the warhead detonates.
The Orks’ objectives remain unchanged.
AFTERMATH
If the Space Marines succeed, the bomb detonates,
the Executioner is blown to bits, and Charybdion’s
defenders destroy the remains. Humanity breathes a
momentary sigh of relief across the Gilead System.
If the Space Marines fail, Captain Massif sacrifices the
Pugilist, ramming the Executioner slightly off course
and knocking it into orbit around Charybdion instead.
The Hive World gains a baleful new moon, which
disturbs the tides and is generally considered an ill
omen. The interior remains infested with Mutants and
Orks, as well as a slowly increasing Necron influence.

 PERSONALITIES OF GILEAD
hen you are building out a narrative or adding
detail to a world, NPCs are the single best tool
in your arsenal. Their presence in a game can
add jeopardy, interest, or emotional weight as required.
Agents can grow to rely utterly upon a loyal NPC, or
to despise a traitorous NPC above all else. The way in
which NPCs react to a situation can inform an Agent’s
own opinion of events, and interesting NPCs can be
the ultimate tools for driving a plot forward.
On the following pages, you will find six unique NPCs
to drop into your games of Wrath & Glory. Feel free
to customise them or change their backgrounds as
required. All should provide the Agents with plenty of
opportunity for adventure, either as allies, accomplices,
or enemies!
Solaria Ruby
A former Inquisitorial Interrogator candidate, Solaria
Ruby is an information broker on Gilead Prime.
The Seed Ascendant: A cult on Gilead Prime offers
initiates food, warmth, and comfort — as long as they
accept something called the Seed Ascendant. Ruby
suspects the cult works on behalf of a xenos threat.
Sister Renavara
An up-and-coming devotee of the Order of the
Sanctified Shield, Renavara is known for her zeal
and dedication.
Bait: Renavara wishes for the Agents to serve as
bait to draw some Aeldari out of hiding. The Aeldari
in question have learned to fear Renavara, even as
they win the trust of locals with gifts of medicine
and wisdom.
Eldwyn Augusta Ors
A curator of ancient knowledge, Eldwyn Augusta
Ors is almost as obsessed with finery as she is with
forbidden lore.
24
Fatal Knowledge: Of all the lore Eldwyn has
uncovered, a snippet about an order of Astartes that
specialise in hunting Daemons is the most dangerous,
and the most valuable. The Absolvers are intrigued,
as the lore claims the ancient tomb of such a warrior
exists somewhere in Gilead.
Enginseer Viltrix
Heavily augmented, Enginseer Dhro Viltrix of the
Mechanicum has left the weakness of flesh far behind.
Augmetic Perfection: The Enginseer has heard rumour
of a rare Augmetic, a cogitator implant of such grace
that the last vestiges of biological thought are said to
be subsumed by its holy machinations. Unfortunately
the Augmetic has fallen into the possession of a
Nethreun noble whose sudden rise in influence and
reputation could only be attributed to the cogitator.
Imran Zyl
A Sanctioned Psyker with a deep faith in the Emperor,
Zyl’s only flaw is that everything about him is a lie.
Servant of the Emperor: Zyl is troubled by endless
dreams of Ironwatch, the prison in which he should by
rights reside. His dreams tell him of a terrible power
growing there, one that will threaten the entire system.
He seeks a group that will take him to the prison
on Charybdion, and that will protect him while he
investigates that haunted place.
Ranger Sorrowstep
Kel-sar Sorrowstep walks the Path of the Outcast,
drawn by the lure of unending freedom.
The Call of the Void: Sorrowstep has been commanded
to aid in the defence of their Craftworld, Ul-Khari, by
tricking an Imperium ship into intercepting an Ork Rok
bound for Trollius. The Ranger struggles to understand
the dull minds of the Mon-Keigh and has decided to
enlist the Agents in accomplishing this.

SOLARIA RUBY
To the casual observer, Solaria Ruby looks like any
other hive scum, gaunt and pale after years of Stimm
use and sleep deprivation. Roughly chopped, ruby-red
hair hangs low over her dark-brown eyes, which dart
back and forth constantly, alert for unseen threats.
The failure that saw her banished to this system is
a closely guarded secret, one she refuses to sell. She
works obsessively to expand her influence on Gilead
Primus, reaching out to those who combat Chaos and
offering her aid in rooting out the increasing number
of heretical cults as an act of personal penance.

With new crises arising every day, Eldwyn’s superiors

to delve deeper into restricted archives containing

seek such esoteric data for her sake, but for the Gilead
