SPACE HULK : THE ARK OF DUST PART ONE

A CAMPAIGN BY ADAM WHITE HTTP://SPACEHULKMISSIONS.BLOGSPOT.COM

MISSION 1 - BREAKTHROUGH

Deployment and Forces Space Marines: The space marine player has two squads, One Space Wolf squad and one Blood angels squad. The Space Wolf squad consists of a sergeant armed with a Power Axe and Storm Shield, a marine with an Assault Cannon, two armed with Storm Bolters and Power Fists and one armed with a Chainfist and Storm Bolter. The Blood Angels squad consists of a sergeant armed with a Power Sword and Storm Bolter, a marine armed with a Storm Bolter, Power Fist and Cyclone Missile Launcher (loaded with Web Missiles), 2 armed with Storm Bolters and Power Fists and one armed with a Storm Bolter and Chain Fist.

Genestealers: The Genestealer player begins the mission with four blips and receives two reinforcement blips per turn. Blips may enter play at any entry area. Special Rules Malfunctioning doors: All doors in this area of the hulk are prone to malfunction. Upon attempting to open any door, either player must roll a D6. On a 4+ the door will open as normal. On a roll of 3 or less, the door jams and must be destroyed in order for the player to continue. The marine player may do this in the normal manner while a genestealer player must expend one action point to destroy a door once it has malfunctioned. Victory Space Marines: The Space Marine player wins by getting 3 or more terminators off the board via EACH exit point, for a total of 6 Space Marines. It is not necessary for the Marines to be from the same squad. The Space Marine may achieve a drawn result by only getting 3 marines off the board via one exit point. Genestealers: The Genestealer player wins if the marine player cannot achieve his objective, either through killing eight marines or it becoming impossible for the marine player to get three marines off via one exit point. Unique Weaponry Power Axe: Like the power sword, the power axe is a rare and extremely effective weapon awarded to Space Marines that have proven themselves in battle. When fighting in a close assault to his front, a Space Marine armed with a power axe always wins drawn combats. Cyclone Missile Launcher (loaded with non-hull destroying web missiles): The cyclone missile launcher is a devastating, shoulder mounted missile launcher not suited to combat in the dense and unstable environs of the inside of a Space Hulk, where the highly explosive ammunition may cause explosive decompression. However, when loaded with web missiles, it becomes a highly effective defensive weapon, used to block off corridors and prevent the enemy from advancing. The cyclone missile launcher may be fired twice in a game, blocking off any tile space within line of sight and twelve squares of the user for the remainder of the game.This weapon costs two AP to fire and cannot be fired as part of a combined action.

MISSION 2 - SURGICAL DESTRUCTION

Deployment and Forces Space Marines: The Space Marine player has one squad consisting of three terminators. One Blood Angel sergeant armed with a power sword and storm bolter, one Blood Angel armed with a storm bolter and power fist and one Space Wolf armed with a storm bolter and power fist. The Space Marine player deploys on the squad on the starting squares shown on the map. Genestealers: The Genestealer player begins the mission with two blips, and receives two reinforcement blips per turn. Blips may enter play at any entry area.

Special Rules Beta Strain Genestealers: This mission marks the first time the Space Marine forces on board the Ark of Dust encounter one of the evolved Genestealer strains. Beta Strain Genestealers have a thicker carapace than the normal "Alpha" Strain Genestealers. As such, even under sustained fire, a Beta Strain Genestealer can only ever be killed by shooting on a roll of a 6. Close combat is unaffected. The Genestealer player has 4 of these special Genestealers to use in the game that can be placed like normal Genestealers whenever a blip is revealed. Bombs: In order to achieve their mission goals, the Space Marines must place and arm bombs in the rooms marked A, B and C. In order to place and arm a bomb, a Space Marine must be standing in the room and expend a full four action and/or command points. Demoralised: The Blood Angels Sergeant in this mission is having one tough day. This coupled with having a Space Wolf in his severely reduced squad means he is not at his commanding best. As such, he loses his ability to redraw his command point counter. Victory Space Marines: In order to win the mission, the Space Marine player must place bombs in all 3 rooms and have at least one marine leave the board via the marked exit point. If all 3 bombs are placed and armed but no Marines escape the board, the mission can be considered a draw. Genestealers: The Genestealer player garners an outright win if he can kill all three Space Marines before they have placed and armed all three bombs. If the Genestealer player can prevent the Marine player from getting a Marine off the board after he has armed all three bombs, he may still attain a drawn result.

MISSION 3 - SCRAMBLE

Deployment and Forces Space Marines: The Space Marine player has one squad consisting of five terminators. The Space Wolf squad consists of a sergeant armed with a Power Axe and Storm Shield, a marine with an Assault Cannon, two armed with Storm Bolters and Power Fists and one armed with a Chainfist and Storm Bolter. The Space Marine player deploys on the squad on the starting squares shown on the map. Genestealers: The Genestealer player begins the mission with two blips, and receives one reinforcement blip per turn. Blips may enter play at any entry area. Special Rules Bombs: In order to achieve their mission goals, the Space Marines must place and arm bombs in the rooms marked A, B, C and D. In order to place and arm a bomb, a Space Marine must be standing in the room and expend a full four action and/or command points.

Victory Space Marines: In order to win the mission, the Space Marine player must place bombs in all 4 rooms and have at least one marine leave the board via the marked exit point. If all 4 bombs are placed and armed but no Marines escape the board, the mission can be considered a draw. Genestealers: The Genestealer player garners an outright win if he can kill all 5 Space Marines before they have placed and armed all three bombs. If the Genestealer player can prevent the Marine player from getting a Marine off the board after he has armed all 4 bombs, he may still attain a drawn result.

MISSION 4 - BASTION

Deployment and Forces Space Marines: The Space Marine player has one squad consisting of five terminators. The Space Wolf squad consists of a sergeant armed with a Power Axe and Storm Shield, a marine with an Assault Cannon, two armed with Storm Bolters and Power Fists and one armed with a Chainfist and Storm Bolter. The Space Marine player must split his squad in to two teams. One team of two marines must be placed in Room A and one team of three marines must be placed in Room B. Genestealers: The Genestealer player begins the mission with one blip. The rest of the blips must be divided in to reinforcement groups. 7 single blip counters and 7 stacks of two blip counters must be laid out at random. The Genestealer may play one of these 14 reinforcement groups per turn (so either one or two blips.) Once he runs out of blips, recycle the stacks into an even number of single blip and stacks of two Genestealer blips and continue doing this until the game is over

Special Rules: Sealing Bulkheads: There is a sealable bulkhead at every Genestealer entry point. In order to seal a bulkhead, a Terminator must stand next to the entry point and spend 1AP or CP. This can not be a combined action. Once the bulkhead is sealed, the marine player removes the purple Genestealer entry point marker. The Genestealer player may no longer bring Genestealers on here. Victory Space Marines: In order to win the mission, the Space Marine must seal all of the bulkheads at every Genestealer entry point and have at least one surviving marine at the end of the game. Genestealers: The Genestealer player wins if he kills all of the Space Marines before he can seal all of the bulkheads.
