Overture

Overture is the last mission of The Fall of Orpheus: Prelude.

Important Points are in red

Background

Narrativement parlant, C'est une préquelle à Orpheus. Les Necrons ne sont pas encore tous réveillé, et les Minotaurs pas encore appelé en renfort.

La vraie campagne se déroulera quelques années plus tard quand la guerre sera déjà bien entamé.

En gros, les Space Wolves après avoir échappé aux Orks, appelle leur pote (BT + Deathwatch) en renfort pour leur foutre une raclée.

Mais tombe nez à nez avec des Necrons qui entre temps ce sont réveillé mais comme ils ne sont pas encore tous réveillé, ils ont réanimé un chapitre Space Marine qui avait combattu les Orks dans un passée lointain pour les défendre.

(Pas les Angel Revenants qui mourront plus tard si on suit la trame narrative)

Donc pour les armées, c'est plutôt une force de réaction rapide de l'Imperium (donc pas d'IK, mais plutôt orienté vitesse)

Pour les Necrons, ils viennent de se réveiller donc les C'tan servent pour l'instant à contrôler le Chapitre Space Marine (donc Out), Maktlan Kutlakh (ainsi que Toholk) est lui réveillé et prépare ses futurs plan de conquête. Ils sont plutôt en mode défense et chez eux donc Pylon Yes (Un Pylon Gauss en LoW, si t'as la fig)! Par contre leur flotte aérienne est plutôt limité.

Les Orks ne sont pas en mode Waaagh intergalactique donc n'ont pas construit de Stompa et autre machine de guerre. C'est plutôt le tout venant d'une planète Ork "tranquille".

Et le Chapitre Space Marine ressuscité n'est donc pas non plus au mieux de sa forme.

The Battlefield

Set up terrain as described in Preparing for Battle.

If a fortification is taken as part of an army, then it is set up with the rest of the units in the army using the same deployment rules as the other models.

Objective Markers

After terrain has been set up, but before determining Deployment Maps and table halves, the players must place 6 Objective Markers that are individually numbered 1 through 6 on the battlefield, using the rules for Placing Objective Markers.

Deployment

Deployment Map: Dawn of War, if possible on a 48" x 108" table

Deployment: The Defending Team will start to deploy and will use the Standard Deployment Method.

Fortifications: If a fortification is taken as part of an army, then it is set up with the rest of the units in the army using the same deployment rules as the other models.

A team can remove one terrain piece from its deployment zone to place a Fortification.

Night fighting: The attacking team can choose to apply Night Fighting rule during the first turn. (This takes precedence over any other Special Rules)

Strategic Fortification

After Deployment but before the roll to Seize the initiative, The Attacker will choose 2 Fortifications which he thinks have a Strategic Value.

This 2 Fortification are the Strategic Fortifications and must be taken.

First Turn

The Defending Team will start, their opponent can attempt to Seize the Initiative.

Game Length

The mission uses Variable Game Length

Victory Conditions

At the end of the game, the player who has scored the most Victory Points is the winner. If both players have the same number of Victory Points, the game is a draw.

The Total of Victory Points is calculated as follow:

Primary Objectives Victory Points x 2 + Secondary Objectives Victory Points

Primary Objectives

Tactical Objectives

For this game, only standard Tactitcal Objectives will be used (No Special Tactical Objective such as Ork or Grey Knights ones can not be used)

Each player generates 1 Tactical Objective at the start of his first turn. If, at the start of their turn, a player has fewer Active Tactical Objectives than the current turn number,

he must generate a number of new Tactical Objectives until he has a number equal to the current turn number. The table below shows the maximum number of Active Tactical Objectives a player can have at the start of a turn. If, at the start of his turn, a player has more Active Tactical Objectives than this number, he must discard Tactical Objectives of his choice until he has the correct number remaining.

Bunker Assault

The Attacker scores 1 Victory Point for each Total Collapse or Detonation! damage result inflicted upon one of the Defender’s fortifications.

At the end of the game, for each Strategic Fortification, the Attacker scores 3 Victory Points if one or more of the following conditions are met:

• The Strategic Fortification is occupied by one of the Attacker’s units.

• At least one of the Attacker’s units is within 3" of the Strategic Fortification and No Defender Units is within 3" of the Strategic Fortification

If none of these conditions are met, the Defender scores 2 Victory Points.

Secondary Objectives

Slay the Warlord

Kill Points

For each enemy unit destroyed you get 1 KP (kill point). ICs and dedicated transports are also worth a KP. Units that have fled off the board, or are fleeing at the end of the game, are worth KP. Also any units in ongoing reserves at the end of the game are also worth KP.

Special Rules
