EVENT SCHEDULE WELCOME TEMPUS FUGITIVES

Greetings fellow Fugitive, I bid you welcome to this the Into the Maelstrom campaign weekend. Following on from our
Friday 18th March 2011 hugely successful Age of the Emperor series I am delighted that you join us for our latest adventure. The Tempus Fugitives
17:00 Pre‐Registration Begins have designed this campaign weekend to be (we hope) as enjoyable as possible. If you are expecting anything other than to
21:00 Space Hulk Challenge just have fun – turn back now!

Saturday 19th March 2011 THIS IS NOT A TOURNAMENT. YOU WILL GET MORE OUT OF THE WEEKEND IF YOU ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE
RATHER THAN FOCUS ON THE OUTCOME OF YOUR GAMES. TRY AND PLAY WITH YOUR OPPONENT RATHER

14:30 Round 2 Briefing The Into the Maelstrom campaign weekend presents Games Workshop hobbyists with an opportunity to play in a different
15:00 Round 2: Strike Force style than they may be used to. Tempus Fugitives’ campaigns are about trying out new ideas and contributing to an
17:00 Army Nominations adventure. In fact the story is almost as important as the actual games themselves and players should be prepared to get

outcome of the battle becomes far less important. Once more (with feeling), you are playing with your opponent – not

20:00 Dinner & Evening Entertainment
The team running the event is there to help describe the campaign story as it unfolds and they will work out what impact

TASKFORCES AND FACTIONS

Into the Maelstrom pits Taskforces of up to eight players in a campaign to seize control of territory around the boarders of
the unstable region of space known as the Maelstrom. Each taskforce is themed to a particular faction and each faction is
pitted against taskforces belonging to one of a number of factions available over the weekend. The factions involved are:

THE IMPERIUM – This powerful empire of mankind stretches across the galaxy and lays claim to all the stars and
planets within it. Extremely hostile to all alien races and ever vigilant for signs of witchcraft and daemon worship from within
their own people, the Imperium is a dangerous foe indeed.

CAMPAIGN POINTS
Your campaign points determine the outcome of the campaign. Players earn Campaign Points depending on how they perform in each round. Players earn 3 Campaign Points for a Win,
1 for a Draw and nothing if you lose. As your games finish you must report the result (Win, Lose or Draw) to the stage along with your opponent. You cannot give your results in
without your opponent present.

STRATEGIES
At the beginning of each round, the taskforce must study the signs and portents to decide on a Strategy to use for the round. Each Strategy can only be used once over the weekend
and must be clearly indicated on the Declaration of War sheet held by the Taskforce Commander. As you must decide your Strategy before you play your games each round you have to
rely on your judgement as to its outcome. Choose carefully as picking Death or Glory makes your draws worthless, while defensive stance squanders any bonus from winning.

1 Rapid Response: This strategy enables players to gain +1 to all reserve rolls for the duration of the battle.
2 Cry Havoc: This strategy allows a single unit held in reserve (of any type except Independent Character) to enter play from the opponents board edge when it arrives.
3 Give No Quarter: This strategy awards 2 Campaign Points for each Win or Draw but nothing if you lose.
4 The Upper Hand: This strategy enables players to gain +1 to the dice roll to see who gets first turn.
5 Death or Glory: This strategy awards 4 Campaign Points for each Win but nothing if you draw or lose.
6 Feint: At the end of the round, the Task Force Commander may swap this strategy for Death or Glory or Give No Quarter (even if already used).

ROUND 5: THE BROKEN ALLIANCE

Throughout the campaign weekend, respect will be earned, alliances will be formed and mutual enemies defeated. But in the grim darkness of the far future, even battle brothers can
find politics and principles stretch their alliance to breaking point. It is known that the Broken Alliance is played using your Strike Force but further details remain shrouded in mystery.
What consequences will emerge from such a conflict will be more fully realised in Tyrant of the Maelstrom (see the teaser at the end of this pack for more details).

PAINTING
All models MUST be painted and representative of the appropriate type of troop. You cannot use a model that does not meet these criteria. If you are planning a conversion that you
think may need clarification please contact us before the event. You cannot represent units with models that are smaller than the Citadel equivalent. For example, an Epic scale space
marine on a Warhammer 40,000 slottabase is not acceptable. Because we believe that due credit should go to players that have painted their own armies, only players who have
painted their armies themselves may be eligible for the coveted award of Best Army. We ask all participants to be honest if shortlisted. A number of armies will be shortlisted on the
Saturday lunch break and then will be voted on by the players during the Sunday lunch break. The winner will be announced at the end of the Campaign Weekend.
During the Into the Maelstrom Campaign Weekend we will give an award for the Best Army. This is given to the player who participates in the weekend with a force that, in the opinion
of both players and judges, is the best in terms of painting and character. To qualify as the Best Army particular attention will be paid to well themed armies which reflect the theme of
the weekend. Only armies which contain at least one campaign unit can be considered for Best Army.
Painting is a key part of the hobby. If you do not paint your models for the weekend to at least a basic standard (undercoated, three colours and based), then models which are painted
to at least a basic standard will be filled with an indignant hatred for your lack of effort or poor time management.

Units that are painted gain Preferred Enemy against all units that are not painted to at least a basic standard.

FACTION: THE IMPERIUM OF MANKIND It is the year 756.M41. The Imperium remains the galactic empire under
which the majority of humanity is united. The founder and ruler of the
Imperium is the god‐like Emperor, the most powerful human psychic to
date. Founding the Imperium ten thousand years ago, he continues, at
least nominally, to lead it.

The Imperium is the largest and most powerful political entity in the
galaxy, consisting of at least a million worlds, which are dispersed across
most of the galaxy. Consequently, an Imperial planet might be separated
from its closest neighbour by hundreds or thousands of light years. As a
stellar empire, the size of the Imperium can not be measured in terms of
continuous territory, but only in the number of planetary systems in its
control.

From within, the Imperium is threatened more insidiously by rebellion,

mutation, dangerous psykers, and subversive cults. Without the protection
of the Imperium, mankind would fall prey to the countless perils that
threaten it.

The systems around the Maelstrom represent wild and unclaimed territory
for the Imperium and that is something which cannot be allowed to
continue. Commander Lugft Huron of the Astral Claws Chapter has taken
the Oath of Moment to reclaim this region in the name of the Emperor
through whatever means he sees fit. The Astral Claws in turn are able to
call upon the vast manpower of the Imperial Guard, the technological
wonders of the Cult Mechanicus and the heroism of their brother Space
Marine chapters.

When choosing an army to fight for the Imperium, you must use one of the Imperium Sub‐Faction lists on the following pages. In all cases the most recent edition of the army Codex
will be used. These are the only armies permitted in this Faction during the weekend. If you have any further questions regarding army selection, please contact the event organisers
before the weekend and check the forums at www.tempusfugitives.co.uk.

The published Codices used in this campaign for the Imperium are: Codex Blood Angels, Codex Black Templars, Codex Dark Angels, Codex Imperial Guard, Codex Space Marines and
Codex Space Wolves. Furthermore the Cult Mechanicus Codex found on the Tempus Fugitives website is used. All supplementary rules to your Codex can be found in this pack.

There are several units which may be taken by the armies of the Imperium during the Into the Maelstrom campaign. They are detailed on the following pages and are considered
fully usable for this campaign weekend. However, they are not to be considered official in any way outside of the Into the Maelstrom campaign weekend. Where a unit is
restricted to one army, it is clearly indicated in the unit entry.

IMPERIUM SUB-FACTION: THE IMPERIAL GUARD

It is believed that there must be many billions of Imperial Guardsmen, divided into millions of regiments. This absolute numeracy provides the Guard with its main power; their ability to
deploy in numbers that, eventually, result in victory. Attacking in seemingly endless influxes across battle‐zones, charging forth under the cover of massive barrages and delivering
massed lasgun volleys, in the Guard the individual Human soldier may appear a lost thing, almost forgotten. Yet the actions of these anonymous soldiers daily decide the fate of worlds
around the Maelstrom. The Guard forms the very backbone of the Imperium; without it, Mankind would surely perish. Whilst Guardsmen are hardly the equals of Space Marines,
fighting neither with the advantages of genetic enhancement or the most powerful personal weaponry, the Guard possesses the courage and the manpower to face and annihilate the
enemies of the Emperor across the galaxy.

OFFICERS OF THE IMPERIAL GUARD

When choosing an Imperial Guard regiment you are free to use any of the regiments listed below or one of your own invention.
There are advantages to taking a known regiment as such fighting forces are led by some of the most authoritative commanders
ever to set foot on the worlds around the Maelstrom. Below are listed the regiments who were present during the Into the
Maelstrom campaign along with any legendary units that fought with them. You may include any unique units or named characters
found in Codex Imperial Guard.

A Note on Imperial Guard Regiments and Imperial Armour units

Imperial Guard players are free to use any of the alternate regiment lists found in Forgeworld’s Imperial Armour
series of expansions. You may not use any of the named characters outlined above if you do so.

Imperial Armour vehicles may be included in Spearhead and Strike Force army lists; however the most recently
published version of their rules must be used (usually the Imperial Armour Apocalypse series of books).

IMPERIUM SUB-FACTION: THE SPACE MARINES

The Space Marines of the Adeptus Astartes are gods of war. Sacrificing part of their own humanity to become demi‐gods, the Astartes fight for the Imperium with courage and honour.
In the crusade to reclaim the territory surrounding the Maelstrom, over two dozen chapters have committed battle companies and detachments to secure victory. Each of these
chapters has its own colour scheme, insignia and tales of heroism that stretch back, in some cases, to the Age of the Emperor some ten millennia ago. Command the Space Marines in
the Emperor’s name and strike out across the worlds of the Maelstrom. Only in death does duty end!

COMMANDERS OF THE SPACE MARINES

When choosing a Space Marine chapter you are free to use any of the chapters listed below or one of your own invention. There are
advantages to taking a known chapter as such fighting forces are led by some of the most legendary warriors ever to set foot on the worlds
around the Maelstrom. Below are listed the chapters who were present during the Into the Maelstrom campaign along with any legendary
units that fought with them. You may include any named characters from your army Codex but may not include the Legion of the Damned.

IMPERIUM SUB-FACTION: CULT MECHANICUS

The Quest for Knowledge is the driving mission of the Adeptus Mechanicus. The quest consists of research and exploration, but ultimately the focus of the quest is on the recovery of a
working Standard Template Construct system. The purpose of the many exploratory missions is the recovery of STC knowledge.

For thousands of years the Tech‐priests have pursued all information about the STC. To the Mechanicus, it is
their lost bible. Any information on the STC including the scraps of knowledge recorded on hard copy designs
are sought out and kept as holy texts. No functional STC systems have ever been recovered. The STC survives
only as print‐outs, some of which are many thousands of years old. Although considered the most reliable,
there are very few first generation print‐outs, and these are regarded as the most sacred of texts.

Through the Tech‐priests' efforts much has been recovered or reconstructed through comparison of
copies, although preserved knowledge of the most advanced technology eludes the Adeptus Mechanicus.
Most of the early colonists' needs were simple and very few would have bothered to preserve the more
theoretical and advanced technological information the STC contained.

In the Age of the Emperor, during the Horus Heresy, this quest led fully half of the Mechanicum to secede
from the rule of Terra. This new, Dark Mechanicum included including the Fabricator General himself and
their subsequent diaspora from Mars and the Mechanicum caused many secrets of the Omnissiah to be
lost. The Maelstrom, like the Eye of Terror, has proven to be a place of exile for many acolytes of the Dark
Mechanicum and where the Maelstrom harbours them it also harbours their secrets…

SERVANTS OF THE OMNISSIAH

When choosing a Cult Mechanicus army you are free to use any of the units, including named characters,
found in the Cult Mechanicus Codex available to download from the Tempus Fugitives website.

“The universe is not like a puzzle‐box that you can take apart and put back together again
and so solve its secrets. It is a shifting uncertain thing which changes as you consider it,
which is changed by the very act of observation. A powerful man is not a man who dissects
the universe like a puzzle‐box, examining it piece by piece and measuring each piece with
scientific precision. A powerful man has only to look upon the universe to change it.”

FACTION: THE FORCES OF CHAOS The Forces of Chaos are wide ranging but all draw their power and direction from
the Warp. Also known as the Immaterium, the Warp is an alternate dimension of
purely psychic energy that echoes and underlies the familiar four dimensions of the
material universe. It is the source of all psychic powers and known instances of so‐
called "sorcery" and the home dimension of the Chaos Gods and their myriad
daemonic servants

The Forces of Chaos are driven to achieve the myriad schemes and whims of the
Dark Gods of Chaos and in doing so corrupt all they encounter. From the towering
fallen astartes of the Chaos Legions to the turncoats of the Traitor Guard to the
scrofulous hordes of the mutants and degenerates that flock to their banner, the
true strength of Chaos is its ability to turn the best of those who oppose it against
themselves.

The systems around the Maelstrom represent familiar ground to the Forces of
Chaos and the armies loyal to the eight‐pointed star are already at an advantage as
seemingly loyal worlds or known quantities suddenly boil over into madness and
shadow. The Forces of Chaos act seemingly at random but nothing happens by
chance and all the skirmishes around the Maelstrom seem to be building towards
some as yet unrevealed final act of dread.

When choosing an army to fight for the Forces of Chaos, you must use one of the
Chaos Sub‐Faction lists on the following pages. In all cases the most recent edition of
the army Codex will be used. These are the only armies permitted in this Faction
during the weekend. If you have any further questions regarding army selection,
please contact the event organisers before the weekend and check the forums at
www.tempusfugitives.co.uk.

The published Codices used in this campaign for the Forces of Chaos are: Codex
Chaos Daemons, Codex Chaos Space Marines and Codex Imperial Guard. All
supplementary rules to your Codex can be found in this pack.

There are several units which may be taken by the Forces of Chaos during the Into the Maelstrom campaign. They are detailed on the following pages and are considered fully
usable for this campaign weekend. However, they are not to be considered official in any way outside of the Into the Maelstrom campaign weekend. Where a unit is restricted to
one army, it is clearly indicated in the unit entry.

CHAOS SUB-FACTION: CHAOS DAEMONS

The Dark Gods of Chaos rule supreme throughout the Warp. The Maelstrom, as a major portal between Warpspace and the mortal realm is a constant battleground for the right to
rule it. Fuelled by the Maelstrom itself, the Chaos Daemons are in infinite supply, but their very existence becomes intangible beyond the edge of that nexus and as such usually only
those worlds unfortunate enough to orbit within are assailable by the Daemons.
A Daemon is an intelligent entity of the Warp and the greatest servants of the Chaos Gods. They are created
at the whim of a Chaos God from a fraction of the God's own power and act as an extension of its will. A
daemon's appearance and intrinsic character reflect the God's own nature. Being an intelligent entity of the
Warp, a daemon cannot exist for long periods of time in real space, any more than a mortal can survive
unprotected in Warpspace. There are a few ways a daemon can breach the walls separating the Warp from
real space and gain entry into the mortal universe.
In order to enter real space in greater numbers, daemons need to use Warp rifts. These are
breaches in the fabric of reality such as the Maelstrom. At times a daemon can possess a mortal and
turn him or her into a portal through which whole daemonic hosts can pass. These daemonic
incursions can taint real space severely, often twisting and reshaping whole planets until they are
lost into the Warp and turned into Daemon Worlds. It is not surprising that the Grey Knights chapter
and the Daemonhunters of the Ordo Malleus, are granted unlimited resources and political power
by the Imperium to deal with such threats.

LEGIONS OF THE CHAOS DAEMONS

When choosing a Chaos Daemons army you are free to use any of the units, including named
characters, found in the Chaos Daemons Codex.

POWER OF THE MAELSTROM

Daemons in all their forms are noticeably more stable in the Maelstrom Zone; such is the
multitude of coruscating energy that boils from the tides within. Before the battle begins, place a
warp rift marker (the Vortex Grenade marker from Apocalypse is the right size) in the centre of the
board. It scatters 3d6” in a random direction. Any Daemon units held in reserve may deploy from
the portal exactly as though coming on from a table edge. The portal counts as a daemonic icon, is
impassable terrain, cannot be destroyed and is removed from play at the end of the fourth turn.
Any enemy model coming into base contact with the portal is instantly destroyed.

"Don't you see? My Master cares not which of the Great Powers of Chaos you serve. In the
end, aren't the followers of the Blood God changing valiant warriors into headless
corpses? Aren't the worshippers of the Lord of Flies changing strong, healthy bodies into
rotting, diseased carcasses? Aren't the disciples of the Dark Prince changing stern,
steadfast heroes into slaves to their own sense? Chaos is a struggle to change, you must
agree. Change rules all." ‐ Amon 'Chakai

CHAOS SUB-FACTION: CHAOS SPACE MARINES

Once Chaos Space Marines were loyal warriors of the Imperium who fought for the glory of Mankind. Now
though, they are vile traitors who have forsaken their oaths of loyalty and turned against humanity. The Chaos
Space Marines are numbered among the most grievous enemies of mankind, loyal only to the Dark Gods of
Chaos, and themselves. Relentlessly the Chaos Space Marines attack the Imperium, seeking dark glories and
personal gain at every turn. Each of the warbands and Legions around the Maelstrom has its own colour scheme,
insignia and tales of treachery that stretch back, in some cases, to the Age of the Emperor some ten millennia
ago. Command the Chaos Space Marines and strike out across the worlds of the Maelstrom. Death to the False
Emperor!

LORDS OF THE CHAOS SPACE MARINES

When choosing a Chaos Space Marine warband you are free to use any of the Legions listed below
or one of your own invention. There are advantages to taking a known Legion as such fighting forces
are led by some of the most legendary warriors ever to set foot on the worlds around the
Maelstrom. Below are listed the Legions who were present during the Into the Maelstrom campaign
along with any legendary units that fought with them. You may only include named characters in an
army of their own Legion.
Alpha Legion – “Alpharius”, Operatives Cell
Iron Warriors – Castlemayn Forrix, Thunderstrike Assault Gun
Night Lords – Krieg Acerbus, Screaming Sculpture
Word Bearers – Coryphaus Jarulek, Dark Altar

“If a man dedicates his life to good deeds and the welfare of others, he
will die unthanked and unremembered. If he exercises his genius
bringing misery and death to billions, his name will echo through the
millennia for a hundred lifetimes. Infamy is always more preferable to
ignominy.”

CHAOS SUB-FACTION: SOUL FORGE

In the Formless wastes of the Realm of Chaos there is a place that is perpetually cloaked in a pall of black, oily fumes, rank with the acrid
stench of forbidden metallurgy, dominated by a cacophony of strident grinding and the wailing of uncountable tortured spirits. This
accursed place is known as the Forge of Souls, where the blind, ever‐mutating Daemon craftsmen of Chaos eternally hammer at their
creations in cyclopean smitheries.

The black fires of these cavernous laboratories are fuelled by the souls of the damned and kept roaring by colossal
screaming bellows, manned by legions of semi‐sentient nightmare creatures. From the dark bowels of the Forge of Souls
come all manner of hideous and unholy weapons. By means of the perverse technologies of the artisans of the Dark
Mechanicum, daemonic energies are fused with arcane metals to create great jagged blades, weeping swords, barbed
steel whips and other potent weapons and talismans, to be used by the Daemons in their eternal warfare. But much more
than these are the great Daemon engines and other possessed vehicles, like the mighty Battle Titans of the Legio Mortis,
or the rampaging Defilers created for the Traitor Legions.

In the ash plains outside the Forge of Souls battle never stops, as many amongst the higher ranks of Daemonhood
vie with each other and duel for the chance of being the one to fuse with the mechanical constructs. This is
because, unlike a possessed mortal body, these steel and ceramite shells can sustain a Daemon in the mortal
world for decades, even centuries. This fusion of the daemonic with the technological is the dark art at the heart
of the Soul Forge and all part of the Great Paradigm of the Dark Mechanicum.

MASTERS OF THE SOUL FORGE

When choosing a Soul Forge you are free to use any of the units, including named
characters, found in the Soul Forge Codex which is available from the Tempus
Fugitives website. The army may also include Brass Scorpions and Greater Brass
Scorpions in Super Heavy Spearheads from the Imperial Armour series of
expansions.

“The revelation of spirit when encountering the power

of Chaos is as freeing for the machine as it is for the
mortal mind. It is our duty to create this blessed state of
union.”

CHAOS SUB-FACTION: TRAITORS & RENEGADES

In order to fulfil their own agendas, Champions of Chaos draw lesser Chaos followers to them. They form personal armies that can vary tremendously in size and strength. Often the
Champion is a powerful demagogue, traitor or Arch‐Heretic. In some cases it is even an Aspiring Champion ‐ a mighty Chaos Space Marine who has left his Legion or Chapter with his
retinue so that he may start his own warband and carve out his dominion in the galaxy. The vast bulk of the Traitors & Renegades stem from the twisted and zealous denizens of the
worlds around the Maelstrom. Gross mutants, fierce Beastmen and primitive tribesmen alike seek to fight on faraway worlds for the glory and benevolence of their masters. Among the
better armed and slightly saner troops are imperial outlaws: pirates, mercenaries, cultists and traitorous Imperial Guardsmen who have turned from their Emperor and fled from
imperial justice. Occasionally entire companies or even regiments of the Imperial Guard turn to Chaos, and take with them their vehicles and armoury. These traitors have not yet lost
their skills due to madness, forming a hardened and reliable core amongst the slavering hordes.

SLAVES TO DARKNESS
When choosing an army in this sub‐faction, it is important to decide beforehand how much conversion work you are willing to undertake.
It is perfectly acceptable to use an ‘off the shelf’ Imperial Guard army (minus a few unit choices) and declare yourself for Chaos. It is also
perfectly acceptable to begin scouring the Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 ranges for suitable parts to create an eclectic mix of
mutants, aliens and Chaos Marines to fight alongside your Basilisks and Infantry Squads. The most themed force for this campaign
weekend would be to take a force allied to The Reborn and as such the majority of the additional rules and narrative will focus on them.
Below are listed the three main ways to represent the Traitors & Renegades who were present during the Into the Maelstrom campaign.
You may only include named characters that are permitted (specifically those available to the Renegades & Heretics and The Reborn).

Traitor Guard
Imperial Guard regiments that have recently betrayed their oath to the Imperium are known as Traitor Guard. Traitor Guard players may
use the standard army list found in Codex Imperial Guard but may not take Commissars or named characters. Traitor Guard armies may
not use any of the alternate Imperial Guard army lists found in Forgeworld’s Imperial Armour series of expansions. Traitor Guard armies
may include any units that may be taken by Imperial Guard that can be found in the Imperial Armour or Apocalypse series of expansions.

Renegades & Heretics

After several years in the service of the Dark Gods, a Traitor Guard army has evolved into a unique fighting force that although at a quick
glance could be mistaken for their original form, have now degenerated into something darker. Massive Chaos Astartes stride past
drooling plague zombies and braying herds of Beastmen while foul daemon‐engines are deployed alongside more familiar tanks and
artillery. Renegades & Heretics players may use any of the three army lists found Imperial Armour: The Siege of Vraks trilogy. Named
characters and units permitted the Renegades & Heretics lists are fully usable in the Into the Maelstrom campaign weekend.

The Reborn
Many worlds around the Maelstrom (particularly in the Cygnax region) have fallen to the predations of the Chaos warband
known as the Reborn. The Reborn have incorporated many planetary defence forces and militias into their growing army and
are the preeminent Chaos threat to the Imperium’s hold on Maelstrom. To include an army of The Reborn, players use the
Tyrant’s Legion armylist found in Imperial Armour 9: The Badab War Part One. The Tyrant’s Legion armylist makes reference to
characters and units that count as Space Marine units and where it does so, players instead use the units found overleaf.

FACTION: THE DARK ELDAR The Dark Eldar are pure evil in its most sickening and elemental
sense. Sadists and murders all, they infest the hidden city of
Commorragh, a hellish realm far from the eyes of mortal men. Their
lightning‐fast terror attacks upon realspace are legendary, for the
act of war gives them literal sustenance, prolonging their lives and
filling their slender frames with stolen energies until they can move
like quicksilver and shrug off bullet wounds with hollow laughter.

Dark Eldar are steeped in ancient and unnatural evil. They have
chosen this path for themselves and revel in their own cruelty,
drawing physical sustenance from the infliction of pain. What
happens to the captives they bring back to Commorragh is best left
undescribed. They are vain, devious and utterly self‐serving with no
respect for any living creatures, not even themselves.

The systems around the Maelstrom are easy prey for the Great
Kabals of the Dark Eldar. The Imperium cannot hope to be focussed
everywhere and it only takes for the moment a patrol ship to leave
a system for the skies to darken over the worlds and the raiders,
ravagers, razorwings and voidravens swoop in.

The Dark Eldar are effectively immortal and as such many of their
number made the systems surrounding the Maelstrom their
playthings long before mankind even emerged from caves.

When choosing an army to fight for the Dark Eldar the most recent edition of the army Codex will be used. If you have any further questions regarding army selection,
please contact the event organisers before the weekend and check the forums at www.tempusfugitives.co.uk. The published Codex used in this campaign for the Dark
Eldar is: Codex Dark Eldar. All supplementary rules to your Codex can be found in this pack.

There are several units which may be taken by the armies of the Dark Eldar during the Into the Maelstrom campaign. They are detailed on the following pages and
are considered fully usable for this campaign weekend. However, they are not to be considered official in any way outside of the Into the Maelstrom campaign
weekend.

DARK ELDAR SUB-FACTION: HARLEQUINS

The Harlequins are an Eldar warrior elite that draw no delineation between art and war. Each pinpoint thrust of the blade, each
somersault over a fresh kill, each whipcord kick to the throat is an act of worship to their trickster deity, the Laughing God. The
Harlequins embody an age‐old enigma that has haunted the Eldar since the Fall, for they alone know the secret of how to deny
Slaanesh and keep their souls burning bright.

Harlequins are not true Dark Eldar at all. Though they often frequent Commorragh they exist outside of Eldar
society altogether, and their motives are shrouded and unclear. The Harlequins primarily dwell within the
shattered corners of the Webway, and they usually only deign to treat with other Eldar the night before a
particularly auspicious battle. They emerge unbidden from hidden portals, staging dazzling performances that
tell of the legends of the Eldar race. The Harlequins' performance is spellbinding; such extremes of emotion
are reached in these stunning displays that a troupe can hold an audience of Dark Eldar completely in thrall.

A Harlequin troupe's performance will always culminate with the tale of the Fall, a tale of particular
significance to the oldest Archons, many of whom find Act One gratifyingly familiar. Because of their
status as outsiders, there have been many reports of Harlequins working as intermediaries between
the Eldar Craftworlds and the ruling bodies of Commorragh. If the Harlequins have loyalty to any
save the Laughing God, it is to the Eldar race as a whole, and they would see it restored.

Even a handful of these warrior‐dancers can turn the tide of a battle with their coruscating assault. They
make haste to the front lines, killing or capturing certain individuals for their own mysterious reasons
before vanishing into the Webway once more. In contrast to their Dark Eldar kin, the Harlequins move
as scintillating blurs of bright colour across the battlefield, their holographic 'domino fields' confounding
and distracting the foe. Once the leaping, spinning dance of death begins, even the most cynical Dark
Eldar raider finds themselves raising an eyebrow at the skill with which these warrior‐artists cut apart
their prey.

DANCERS IN THE DARK

When choosing a Harlequin army you are free to use any of the units, including named characters, found
in the Harlequin Codex which is available from the Tempus Fugitives website. The Harlequins may be
taken as a Spearhead army or as a Strike Force but never as both. If a player chooses to take Harlequins
as one of their armies, they must choose their other list from the Dark Eldar Faction.

FACTION: TYRANIDS The Tyranids are an extragalactic alien race, whose sole purpose is
the consumption of all forms of genetic and biological material in
order to evolve and reproduce. Tyranid technology is based
entirely on biological engineering. Every function is carried out by
living, engineered creatures, each of which collectively forms the
Hive Fleet, directed by a single Hive Mind.

The Maelstrom is far from the only Hive Fleet encountered to

date, Hive Fleet Behemoth. Although Imperial Tactica believes
that this is the sum total of the species threat to the galaxy,
sporadic reports of splinter fleets of Behemoth are reaching the
Administratum and Biologis Explorator ships. One of these,
codified as Naga, is believed to be of such size that it could even
be a Hive Fleet in its own right, although many Imperial experts
have scoffed at such theories.

Six months ago, a strike cruiser from the Charnel Guard chapter
detected the emergence of a space hulk near the edge of the
Maelstrom Zone. Further analysis before contact was lost with the
Strike Cruiser indicated that the hulk comprised of the Legatus
Stygies, an Emperor Class Battleship and an unidentified bio‐
construct which appeared of equal mass to the derelict battleship
and had wrapped dozens of large tendrils around the Imperial
vessel like a constrictor serpent. As the Legatus Stygies was
believed lost after the Battle for Macragge, the bioship has been
codified as a Tyranid hiveship and the Black Templar Crusade of
Wrath means to eradicate it before it can reach inhabited worlds.
What link the arrival of this conjoined horror has with the recent reports of civil unrest and ‘Sky‐Father’ cults springing up across the Maelstrom Zone has yet to be determined…

When choosing an army to fight for the Tyranids the most recent edition of the army Codex will be used. If you have any further questions regarding army selection, please contact the
event organisers before the weekend and check the forums at www.tempusfugitives.co.uk. The published Codex used in this campaign for the Tyranids is: Codex Tyranids.
Furthermore the Genestealer Coven Codex found on the Tempus Fugitives website is used. All supplementary rules to your Codex can be found in this pack.

There is a different army structure and several units which are a feature of the armies of the Tyranids during the Into the Maelstrom campaign. They are detailed
on the following pages and are considered fully usable for this campaign weekend. However, they are not to be considered official in any way outside of the Into
the Maelstrom campaign weekend.

A NOTE ON FLYERS
The Hive Mind has fashioned a unique solution to deal with enemy forces who have a reliance on high‐speed aircraft. Gargoyles, like all Tyranid creatures, are merely tools to achieve an
end. Often, Imperial pilots are faced with the Hive Mind compelling Gargoyle Broods to fly directly into the aircraft’s engines and cockpit. Although this strike instantly kills many of the
Gargoyles, it causes horrendous damage to the craft.

Bird‐Strike: At the start of any turn when an enemy flyer or fast skimmer has been deployed, the Tyranid player may choose to fly a single Gargoyle brood in play of at least ten models
into the deployed unit. This causes 2d6 unsavable wounds on the Gargoyle Brood and causes d6 glancing hits on the flyer or fast skimmer. The unit may benefit from an Obscured cover
save. Once this attack has occurred, the Flyer may complete its move as normal (provided it is still in the air). Should the Gargoyle Brood be destroyed it is worth Kill Points as normal.
Surviving Gargoyles are placed into reserve and are deployed next turn as normal.

TYRANID SUB-FACTION: GENESTEALER COVEN

A Genestealer Coven is a community of Genestealers, Genestealer‐hybrids, as well as the
completely human convert‐hosts, infected victims and genetic relatives known as Brood
Brothers, existing within another society. Such a cult forms if a Genestealer infects
members of another species with its genotype. The resultant changes in the genome of the
host cause a fanatical loyalty to the Genestealers as well as a drastic change to their
reproduction system; their firstborn children will be Hybrids, a grotesque mixture of the
host's race and Genestealers. These hybrids infect further victims, and the infection
spreads exponentially. Fourth generation hybrids produce Purestrain Genestealers, and the
cycle starts once again. This brood of Purestrains, hybrids and Brood Brothers is held
together by strong psychic and genetic bonds, and assembles around the original
Genestealer which becomes the Patriarch.

Because this community is often hidden behind the facade of a religion or political
movement, it is called a Genestealer Coven or Cult by the Imperium.

Genestealers are effectively the heralds of Tyranid invasion, because the psychic power of
the Patriarch shines like a beacon in the Warp and is perceived by the Hive Fleets of the
Tyranids. As the coven's power grows over the world, the beacon becomes stronger,
signalling to the Tyranids the location of a biologically rich world. By the time the Hive
Fleets arrive, the world may already be completely in the hands of the Genestealer cult, or
torn apart by civil war between the cult and the remaining free society, or at least
weakened and rife with traitors. However, after the planet comes to the Hive Fleet's
notice, the destiny of the cult is sealed, because all surviving members are absorbed like
the rest of the planet.

BROODFATHERS OF THE COVEN

The Genestealer Coven is selected using the latest edition of Codex Imperial Guard and Codex
Tyranids with the latest FAQ from Games Workshop’s website. Please contact us at the Tempus
Fugitives if you do not understand this point. A Genestealer Coven may include the units listed
overleaf (those marked with an asterisk may be found in this campaign document). The army

FACTION: THE NECRONS The Necrons are a mysterious race of skeletal warriors that have
lain dormant in their stasis‐tombs for millions of years. They are
ancient beyond reckoning, predating even the Eldar. At long last,
however, they are beginning to awaken, for the galaxy is ripe for
the greatest harvest.

The Maelstrom contains at least one world believed to have

originally operated as a Tomb World. The planet, Nahkara,
contains a small human settlement and was for a time
frequently predated by Dark Eldar raiders. However, the
shadowy corsairs have not been seen in recent seasons and
there is talk in the communities of nomads disappearing
between settlements.

The presence of the Maelstrom itself poses a difficulty for the

Necrons as the warp is in itself anathema to their technology
and purpose. Some way of shielding worlds closest to the rift
must surely be found by the Necrons if their harvest of mortal
flesh is to achieve any sense of totality in the region. Ironically, it
would appear that the worlds closest to the daemons are safest
from the Necrons.

Actual sightings of the Necrons in the region is limited to rumour

and apocrypha. Imperial Commanders have noted that Eldar and
Tyranid movements in the area seem to judiciously avoid certain
planets and systems. What correlation to the Necrons is unclear
as rather than dead worlds, many of these planets have thriving
human populations on them.

When choosing an army to fight for the Necrons the most recent edition of the army Codex will be used. If you have any further questions regarding army selection, please contact the
event organisers before the weekend and check the forums at www.tempusfugitives.co.uk. The published Codex used in this campaign for the Necrons is: Codex Necrons. All
supplementary rules to your Codex can be found in this pack.

There is a different army structure and several units which are a feature of the armies of the Necrons during the Into the Maelstrom campaign. They are detailed
on the following pages and are considered fully usable for this campaign weekend. However, they are not to be considered official in any way outside of the Into
the Maelstrom campaign weekend.

REVISED RULES
GAUSS WEAPONS: Weapons with the Gauss special rule are Rending.
DISRUPTION FIELD: Any hit inflicted on the target by a model with a disruption field will benefit from the Rending special rule. Scarab Swarms buy Disruption Fields for +8 points per

WRAITH FORM: Any Necron Lord may exchange his Destroyer Body for a Wraith Form. He gains the Infantry type: Jetbike special rule and his Strength and Initiative is increased to 6.
Furthermore he gains a 3+ Invulnerable Save.

to fight. The Necron Lord gains +1 wound.

NECRON SPECIAL RULE All non‐vehicle and non‐swarm units in a Necron army have the Necron special rule (including those units which would not normally have the Necron rule,
such as Tomb Spyders). The Necron rule in Codex Necrons is replaced with the following revised Necron rule:

WE’LL BE BACK: The model has the Feel No Pain universal special rule. Ignore references to the Monolith’s ability to allow units to re‐roll failed self repair tests.

MARCH OF THE DAMNED: All Necron Infantry models gain the Slow and Purposeful special rule. This does not apply to non‐infantry models such as Destroyers, Wraiths and Monstrous
Creatures. Independent Characters and Flayed Ones may test on 3d6 as per Move through Cover.

SOULLESS: Necrons are Fearless and have a 2+ Invulnerable save against wounds caused by psychic attacks.

FACTION: THE ELDAR In the time leading up to the cataclysm the Eldar refer to as the Fall,
not all the Eldar that remained on the homeworlds fell into the lure
of Slaanesh. Many remained, struggling to turn their species from its
doomed path. Unable to do so, several of the greatest Seers caught
glimpses of the darkness to come, and undertook a titanic effort to
save their people. For each Eldar homeworld a gigantic ship was
created, sung from Wraithbone and so massive to be nearly a
planetoid itself. The last uncorrupted people from each world were
loaded onto these ships, along with works of art, plant life and
animals, all that could be saved. In these Craftworlds (as they came
be known) the final Eldar Exodus began, and only barely in time. The
psychic shockwave caught some of the Craftworlds and destroyed
them, while others were pulled into orbit around what became the
Eye of Terror. The rest drift through the galaxy, their exact number
uncertain, as contact became difficult and intermittent.

The Eldar are an aloof and unpredictable presence in the Maelstrom

region. They attack without apparent provocation to achieve their
own enigmatic goals. There are reports of Imperial convoys being
defended from Ork raids by nimble Eldar wraitthships only to later
be destroyed by their would‐be saviours after sheltering in a nearby
system.

Why the Eldar operate near the Maelstrom at all is a mystery. ..

When choosing an army to fight for the Eldar the most recent edition of the army Codex will be used. If you have any further questions regarding army selection,
please contact the event organisers before the weekend and check the forums at www.tempusfugitives.co.uk. The published Codex used in this campaign for the

ELDAR SUB-FACTION: EXODITES

The destruction of the Eldar over ten millennia ago was not complete, for many Eldar resisted the temptations of the darker aspects of the hearts.
Some fringe groups began to openly criticise the decadence of their race and warn against the insidiousness of the cults of pleasure that had begun to
infect their culture. These critics were mostly ignored or else treated as narrow minded self‐righteous fools. However, the rapid collapse of the Eldar
society convinced even the most resolute amongst them that there would be no end to the spiral of depravity and self‐destruction. Before the
Craftworlds had even begun their famed escape from the collapse of the Eldar homeworlds, those who would come to be known as Exodites made
their own voyage to settle new planets free of the creeping corruption.

These Exodites were uniquely farsighted. Amongst a race naturally indulgent and hedonistic they were reviled as dour self righteous fanatics
obsessed with misery and self‐denial. The Exodites are genuine survivalists who bravely chose exile over gradual degradation and destruction.
The Exodus was not without its own perils however and many of the rag‐tag fleet of craft which left the Eldar Homeworlds reached new worlds
only to be slain by marauding Orks or natural predators. Some did survive however and most of the Exodites came to settle in the far galactic
east, in a region that humanity would later call the Eastern Fringe.

Upon these fringes of the galaxy the Exodites made new homes. The worlds they settled were savage and life was often hard for a people
unused to physical work. When the final cataclysm erupted, most of the Exodite worlds were far from the psychic epicentre and survived.
The resultant psychic implosion wiped out the rest of the Eldar race and left a gaping hole in the fabric of space, known to later
generations as the Eye of Terror. But out on the fringes of the galaxy the Exodites were relatively safe.

This safety soon became isolation as it was quickly clear that very few of their race had survived the Fall. Those other groups that
had survived included the savage and cruel Dark Eldar, who the Exodites soon began to hate almost as much as they despised the
Orks and humans. The other notable group of survivors were the Craftworld Eldar, who escaped the Fall on their gigantic world‐
ships. These Craftworld‐dwellers retained much of the arrogance of their ancestors and regarded the Exodites as rustic and rather
simple folk. But some of the Craftworlds, like those of Biel‐Tan, saw in the Exodites a vigorous and wild people in a way that is quite
unlike their own introverted societies. Where the Craftworlds cling to the past and preserve all they can of their fallen civilisation,
the Exodites have turned their backs upon ancient traditions in favour of a simpler and harder way of life. Their minds are tougher
and more straightforward but not so subtle than their Craftworld Eldar cousins.

WILD AND UNTAMED

When choosing an Exodite army you are free to use any of the units, including named characters, found in the Exodite Codex which
is available from the Tempus Fugitives website. The Exodites may be taken as a Spearhead army or as a Strike Force but never as
both. If a player chooses to take Exodites as one of their armies, they must choose their other list from the Eldar Faction.

FACTION: THE ORKS Orks are a warlike, crude and highly aggressive green‐
skinned alien race. Orks are the dominant subspecies of
the Orkoids, which includes the smaller Gretchin and
Snotlings. Although their society is entirely primitive and
brutal, the Ork race is also the most successful species in
the whole galaxy, spread throughout the galaxy and
outnumbering possibly every other race. However, due to
this aggressive and warlike nature, the massive race is split
into hundreds of tiny empires, warring as much between
themselves as against other races. In the purely theoretical
event all the Orks were to unite, they would undoubtedly
crush all opposition.

The basic Ork is a muscle‐bound, hulking monster capable

of ripping a man apart with its bare hands. Their battle
scarred green skin is tough and highly resistant to pain. In
combat they can transform even the most common object
into a lethal killing instrument. Orks aren't the brightest
creatures in the galaxy, but they do possess a certain low
cunning that can catch an overconfident commander off
guard. In a word, the Orks are built for war.

Dozens of worlds near the Maelstrom are threatened by Ork invasion from the neighbouring Ork Empire of the Overfiend of Octarius. The Astral Claws and their brothers in the
Maelstrom Warders could commit all their resources and still only be able to hold back the horde from the more civilised systems. The presence of a Black Templar Crusade of Wrath
and the influx of forces into the region in the wake of the Fourth Quadrant Rebellion has sorely pressed the Overfiend’s Empire. But like a cornered animal, the Orks of Octarius are to
prove to be at their most dangerous…

When choosing an army to fight for the Orks the most recent edition of the army Codex will be used. If you have any further questions regarding army selection, please contact the
event organisers before the weekend and check the forums at www.tempusfugitives.co.uk. The published Codex used in this campaign for the Orks is: Codex Orks. All supplementary
rules to your Codex can be found in this pack.

considered fully usable for this campaign weekend. However, they are not to be considered official in any way outside of the Into the Maelstrom campaign

Ork Kultur can sometimes cause self‐respecting boyz to look at the orky‐know‐wots of the world and go a bit… well…
mad. The Ork finds his mind full of distractions and contradictions. Wild ideas about the universe buzz round his
brain. Curious bits of unconnected knowledge keep intruding upon his consciousness. These disturbed Orks are called

whose crazed notions are seen as a sign of favour from Gork (or possibly Mork).

ARMY LIST ONE: SPEARHEAD

When huge tank formations clash on the battlefield, additional assets are often made available; elite spearhead
units that lead the armoured column to battle. These are represented in the Into the Maelstrom campaign by
spearhead formations which can be found both online at www.games‐workshop.com and in this campaign pack.
A spearhead formation represents powerful, specially trained or veteran units that have been made available for
the battle. How these units are selected is explained in the spearhead formation rules that can be found in White
Dwarf 366 or online at www.games‐workshop.com

Spearhead formations allow you to get more tanks in your army than Heavy Support alone; in fact, you can take a force solely of spearhead formations if you so wish.
Not only is this possible, it's desirable as well, because you don't have to worry about taking Troops to claim those all important objectives as spearheads, and indeed
any tank or walker units, count as scoring units in a Spearhead mission. The other notable advantage that vehicles in a spearhead gain is the ability to fire one more
weapon than normally permitted when moving at up to cruising speed. They can even shoot this at a different target.

The tactical options this opens up are tremendous, as spearheads can be used both offensively and defensively. You can have your tanks guarding and claiming
objectives, or even go on the counter‐offensive. In an offensive role, your spearhead formations can be extremely aggressive; again, using the ability to fire an
additional weapon you can swoop in and claim the objective. Of course, you have to bear in mind that in Spearhead your opponent will also be aiming to achieve the
same goals across the Maelstrom, and using their spearhead formations to capture or protect the objectives. To gain an edge you'll have to choose the right type of
spearhead formation that plays to the strength of your army and will highlight your opponent's weaknesses.

TIPS ON FORCE ORGANISATION

• Must be no more than 1000 points.
• Unlike standard missions you do not have to include HQ or Troop choices.
• May Include up to one of each type of Spearhead Formation.
• Play either the Breakthrough or Lightning War Mission
• Use the Escalation deployment method.
• Anticipate you will be facing a super‐heavy unit when planning your army.
• Practice playing Spearhead. Get half a dozen games under your belt.
• Have fun with it.

ARMY LIST TWO: STRIKE FORCE

A Strike Force is the primary tool by with a battlefield commander delivers victory in the 41st Millennium. The savage warzones around the
Maelstrom are where Mankind must battle for survival in a region riven by bloodshed and destruction. Dozens of human colonies teeter on the
brink of annihilation, assailed on all sides by aliens, traitors and Daemons, and only the superhuman strength of the Space Marines and the
uncountable numbers of the Imperial Guard stand between the slavering alien hordes and total annihilation. Of course, depending on your
perspective the human race is either an unwelcome intruder into a realm that does not belong to them, a self‐deluded and feeble species or quite
simply lunch.

Such is the diverse range of species and empires at war with each other in the Maelstrom that optimising your Strike Force to take on a specific enemy is risky at best. Weapons with
high armour penetration and powerful anti‐tank abilities are, of course, essential. But optimising to shred space marines will likely leave you vulnerable to the massed infantry of the
Imperial Guard, Orks and Tyranids. Alternatively, spending all your resources on massed firepower exposes your forces to outflanking Genestealers, infiltrating chaos marines or drop‐
pod borne Sternguard. Like all things, it is a matter of balance which will see the experienced commander take charge of the battle. Knowing what forces to hold in reserve and how to
make the most of the forces you have already committed is the key to victory. Even the endless tides of the hive mind can be defeated if they are swarming on a distant flank while
the objective lies firmly in their opponent’s grasp.

TIPS ON FORCE ORGANISATION

• Must be no more than 1500 points.
• May be selected from a different Sub‐Faction to your Spearhead.
• Cannot include models used in your Spearhead Army List.
• Uses the Standard Missions organisation Chart.
• May not include any Spearhead or Apocalypse Formations.
• May not include Gigantic Creatures or units with Structure Points.
• May include flyers but if your army does so, all your opponents pintle mounted and
defensive weapons count as being on AA mounts. Other weapons can be given the upgrade
for +10 points per weapon.
• Play a standard mission randomly determined at the beginning of the battle.
• Use a deployment method randomly determined at the beginning of the battle.
• Remember that this forms the heart of the majority of your battles so take the units you
really feel will make the weekend enjoyable.

COMBINED ARMY LIST: HEAVY ASSAULT

Commanding a Heavy Assault allows you to take your games of Warhammer 40,000 to a whole new level. You combine the ferocity of your spearhead formations
with the tenacity of your strike force. You may command hundreds of men or squadron after squadron of vehicles but whatever path you have chosen, your Heavy
Assault will leave your opponent in no uncertainty that you mean to reduce their forces to a bloody mess. Take command of screaming aircraft and burn a great gash
through the sky as orbiting spacecraft unleash weapons of planet‐shattering power and super‐heavy vehicles grind infantry beneath them.

1000 POINT SPEARHEAD 1500 POINT STRIKE FORCE

Your Heavy Assault force combines your Spearhead with your Strike Force. As your Spearhead and your Strike Force can be chosen from different sub‐factions (but
not different factions) it can make for really interesting combined forces. Remember, if your army includes flyers, all your opponents pintle mounted and defensive
weapons count as being on AA mounts. The battle is played as an Annihilation mission using the Dawn of War deployment. Spearheads with the Infiltrate or
Preparatory Barrage rule may always be deployed in addition to the two Troop units and an HQ unit that are permitted in the Dawn of War rules. Remember that
units in a Spearhead formation still count as normal for the purposes of Kill Points. Furthermore, an additional Kill Point is awarded for destroying the entire
Spearhead. This does mean that in the case of a Super‐Heavy spearhead destroying the Super‐Heavy vehicle is worth two Kill Points.
