At the behest of Abaddon the Despoiler,* Typhus and the Death Guard have arrived at the Charadon Sector in force, intent on destroying everything they cannot corrupt with their foul gifts of Nurgle. With the fighting in War Zone Charadon starting to heat up (or should that be ‘plague up’?) with the events featured in the Book of Rust, we’ve no doubt that your Crusade forces will want in on the action too. The good news is, we’ve got exactly what you’re looking for!
That’s right – an entire Crusade Mission Pack designed to immerse your battles in the setting of War Zone Charadon, complete with 24 exclusive missions, as well as dozens of bespoke Agendas, Requisitions, and Stratagems. Let’s take a closer look at the missions first.
That’s six missions for each battle size, so you’re guaranteed plenty of variety at whichever scale of game you play. As you can see from the titles, the theme of these Crusade missions isn’t just about the system-wide invasion of the Death Guard, but also represents the forces of the Adeptus Mechanicus fighting back and seeking to achieve their own goals.
Of course, that’s not to say that the Mission Pack is exclusively for the Death Guard and Adeptus Mechanicus factions – far from it, in fact. For starters, the Charadon Sector had already been suffering from the piratical raids of the Drukhari (led by Lelith Hesperax, no less!), and the vast Ork empire of Snagrod, the infamous Arch-Arsonist, is also an ever-present threat to the region. Meanwhile, the Akannazad Dynasty has been inexorably encroaching upon the Charadon Sector’s borders as more and more of the Necrons reawaken to join their ranks.
Whatever your faction of choice, your Crusade can take part in the unfolding events of War Zone Charadon.
What’s more, the Requisitions you utilise from Plague Purge remain with your Crusade force for the duration of its existence. Strength Through Suffering, for example, is a Requisition that offers a handy – and permanent – experience boost to a unit suffering from a Battle Scar.
There are also 12 new Stratagems for you to master that you can utilise when playing Plague Purge missions, divided between Recon and Assault specialisations. For example, the Recon Stratagem, Selfless Prosecution, can be a real game-changer, and if used in the right place and at the right time, it can easily mean the difference between victory and defeat.
Trench Assault, meanwhile (which, as its name suggests, is an Assault Stratagem), rewards an aggressive attack or outflanking manoeuvre, enabling you to punish the enemy for skulking in their deployment zone.
This action-packed Crusade Mission Pack is up for pre-order from tomorrow. Whether you seek to crush the Charadon Sector beneath your plague-ridden boot, defend it until your dying breath in the name of the Omnissiah, or even if your Crusade force is just passing through and fancies joining in on the fun, make sure you grab a copy of Plague Purge.
* By which we of course mean the dread Warmaster of the Black Legion, not the recently discovered species of Terran arachnid.
