NACHMUND GAUNTLET CAMPAIGN Crusade offers a fantastic narrative experience to the Warhammer 40,000 player, letting you take your collection on its own unique journey. But you might also want to share that journey with other players, weaving combined tales of heroism and victory as you fight both with and against each other in a multi-game campaign. The rules below provide a framework that you can use to take your Crusade forces on just such a path, scaling the experience to whatever duration you and your friends desire. INTRODUCTION A Nachmund Gauntlet campaign allows group of players to get together, form alliances and playa series of games. Its split into three ‘campaign phases, each of which consists of numerous batles between the alliances. At the end of each campaign phase, each alliance earns a number of rewards based upon how many vietoris they earned dusing that phase, before moving onto the next phase, These rewards inelude increasing the Control Level an alliance has over four key siratepic sites on Sanguss Terra. This ie the key to winning the Nachmund Gauntlet ‘campaign, as it is by securing control over these strategic sits that an alliance earns Campaign Victory points (CVP). At the end of the ‘campaign, itis the alliance with the most CVP that conquers Sangua Terra capital city and is crowned the vietor! NACHMUND GAUNTLET CRUSADE BADGES [At the end of any Naclhmuind Gauntlet campaign battle you may earn a Crusade Badge relevant tothe alliance you ate a part of. ‘This Crusade Badge can be noted on your Order of Batle and any units included in your Crusade foxce may be bestowed with the same a Crusade Badge, This honorific will be a permanent reminder of your units valiant efforts inthis campaign! CAMPAIGN MASTER ‘A Nachmund Gauntlet campaign is best run with a Campaign Master, They wil take on the mobilisation and organisation of the campaign so that the other players can focus on playing games. A Campaign Master can indeed playin the campaign, but their primary role i to facilitate a smooth and enjoyable experience forall players involved REINFORCEMENT WAVES hitps:watapedia ruhwh40ktGedthe-rulesinachmund-gauniley 2180(091062026, 18:08 Nachmund Gauntit ‘When playing a Nachmund Gauntlet campaign, players will have the opportunity to utilise a new way to play - Reinforcement Waves - and information on how to use these will be explained in more detail hese. When starting a new Crusade force within a Nachmund Gauntlet ‘campaign, we suggest the starting Supply Limit for players should be increased so that they can make use ofthe Tactical Reserves rules from, their first game, with three Reinforcement Waves. FORMING ALLIANCES ‘Once a Campaign Master has stepped forward, their fist task is to gather the players and sort them int alliances, The system can support anything from just two players, up to dozens of players. The campaign works particularly well with a small group of like-minded and enthusiastic players who can meet on a regular basis, Alliances should be organised as evenly as possible, and when feasible, based on the Factions being played. Once players ate assigned to an alliance, a Warmaster should be elected to represent them and will be responsible for making decisions for their alliance. The alliances are as follows: GUARDIANS “Those who seek to protect Sangua Terra, repel the invaders and maintain Imperial rule over the Nachmund Gauntlet. The forces ofthe Imperium would be best suited to this alliance. DESPOILERS “Those who wish to conquer Sangua Terra and the worlds ofthe Sanctus Wall, using them as a foothold to extend their dread reach. The forces of Chaos are best suited to this alliance. MARAUDERS “The Marauders range from xenos warlords, to renegades and mercenaries seeking to use the conflict on Sangua Terra to further their own, agendas. This alliance is best suited to those who carve their own path - even if they arent all working towards the same goals. ALLIES OF CONVENIENCE ‘Note that these are guidelines on how to organise players into an alliance, rather than a requirement, Ifit suits the group better to organise the alliances diflerently, the Campaign Master should fel free to da to. For example, if many ofthe players inthe group have Crusade forces asoctated witha single alliance, to make the alliances more evenly numbered some of them may have to fght for a diferent alliance than what we have recommended, You could always create some interesting narrative to explain why one side fight for another. CAMPAIGN LENGTH ‘A Nachmund Gauntlet campaign is split into three phases, each of which involves battling in a different stage ofthe war. Before the campaign begins, the Campaign Master should determine the length of time allocated to each campaign phase and the total number of games that can be played in that phase. Once either of those conditions have been met, that campaign phase ends and each alliances progress towards campaign victory in that phase is determined. Once the third campaign phate ends, the campaign ends and the overall winning alliance is determined. ‘A campaign can be along and expansive experience where each campaign phase takes place over a month, with many battles fought and sight heroes lost tothe fires of war. Equally, it can bea short and focused campaign played over a weekend, with each campaign phase consisting of just one battle representing the key moments ofthe conflict, ‘Asa guide, if each member of your campaign group will play one game a week, we recommend each phase ofthe campaign lasts as follows: Length of Time: 2 weeks ‘Total Number of Games: E: fal to the number of players ‘Once you have gathered the players into alliances, established the way to play and determined the length of the campaign its ime forthe battle for control of the Nachmund Gauntlet to begia! SANGUA TERRA STRATEGIC SITES Four strategic sites and their surrounding districts are being fought over across Sangua Terra's capital, Urbanospravl Alpha. If an alliance controls a strategie site at the start of a campaign phase, that alliance has a bonus associated with that strategic site and will hitps:watapedia ruhwh40ktGedthe-rulesinachmund-gauniley 80(091062026, 18:08 Nachmund Gauntit benefit from it during that phase. PRAEFECTUS BASTION A mighty stronghold blending military and Ecclesiarchal structures, from which the entire planets defence efforts are coordinated. STRATEGIC SITE BONUS ‘While your alliance controls this strategic site, each time a player in that alliance musters a Crusade army, they can muster up t0 4 [Reinforcement saves instead of up to 3. This does not let players deploy more Reinforcement waves during the battle, but gives them greater tactical lexbiity. EMPEROR'S VOICE GRAND BATTERY “This sprawling battery of enormous artillery pieces is crucial to the engoing defence of Urbanosprawl Alpha, as well asa potent strategic asset for any who contra it ‘STRATEGIC SITE BONUS ‘While your alliance controls this strategic ste, when a player in that alliance plays a game, each time an enemy units setup from Slrategic ‘Reservas, roll one D6: On a 5+, that enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds TOWER OF MURMURATION Rising high over the maze-lke districts that surround i, this structure houses the most potent Astropathic choir on Sangua Terra ‘STRATEGIC SITE BONUS ‘While your alliance controls this strategic site, your alliance can select one additional Strategic Goal atthe start of the campaign phase.

For example, a game schedule will ensure that everyone gets an equal amount of games, o, in campaigns with a large number of players, each alliance can be broken down into smaller subgroups that are then matched against each other to make arranging games even simpler. However, before any battles in a phase are fought, each alliance must first select a Strategic Goal, hitps:watapedia ruhwh40ktGedthe-rulesinachmund-gauniley 550(091062026, 18:08 Nachmund Gauntit STRATEGIC GOALS ‘Strategic Goals represent a varity of ploys, intrigues and gambits that your alliance cam attempt to achieve in addition to military victory, and {in doing so gain a number of strategic advantages and rewards during each phase of the campaign, by assigning Strategic Asset points (SAP) in an attempt to achieve victory Strategic Asset Points Some Agendas in this publication provide players with opportunities to gain Strategic Asset points (SAP), which represent the allocation cof an alliance’ resources in their attempt to achieve control over the strategic sites of Sangua Terra [Atthe start ofeach campaign phase, each alliance must select one Strategic Goal that applies tothe entire alliance for that phase. For this process, we recommend electing a Wermaster to coordinate each alliance, especially in larger campaigns. Once each alliance has selected its ‘Strategic Goal, they should inform the Campaign Master oftheir choice, These choices are kept sectet- each alliances choice s known only to the Campaign Master and the other members of your ovn alliance Each Strategic Goal has a set of requirements; these will require the players in your alliance to guin SAP during their battles, which can be accomplished in various ways. After each battle, each player must assign all the SAP they have gained from that battle to one of the four strategic sites of Sangua Terra, and inform the Campaign Master of this decision [At the end of each campaign phase when the alliances are receiving their rewards, the Campaign Master will eveal the total number of SAP ‘each alliance has assigned to cach ofthe four strategic sites of Sangua Terra, and check to see if that alliance has met the requirements listed on ‘their Strategic Goal; if they have, they will also receive the associated Strategic Goal Bonus.

When collecting their rewards from SAP, that alliance resolves all rewards atthe same time, before the next alliance resolves their rewards In either case, in the case ofa te or rewards that would resolve atthe same time, the Campaign Master must randomly determine which alliance resolves their rewards fist. Sometimes alliances will have to make decisions when resolving their rewards - most often when selecting ‘hich strategic sites to increase their Control Level over: For this process, we recommend electing a Wa:master to coordinate each alliance, especially in larger campaigns. ‘When the next campaign phase begins, each alliances Battle points and Strategic Asset points ate reset to 0, puting alliances on an equal {footing forthe next phate of the campaign, Example: At the end of the frst phase of a Nachmund Gauntlet campaign, the Guardians have a total of 12 Battle points and 6 Strategic Asset ‘points; the Despoilers have 8 Battle points and & Strategic Asset points; the Marauclers 6 Batle points and 9 Strategic Asset points, The {Guardians collet their Battle points rewards frst, as they have the most, increasing their Control Level over each strategie site where they have they came first by 2, and each strategic ste they came second by 1.
