Take on Fat-bergs and Other Revolting Missions Amidst the Ashes of the Charadon Sector

AmidstTheAshes Jul06 Header23k

When your forces are assailed by the servants of Nurgle, it’s not just the Plague God’s legions of mortal and daemonic servants you must face, nor even the threat of virulent diseases taking root – the foetid fallout left in their wake is extremely hazardous in its own right. Sounds pretty disgusting, right? Well, how about fighting amid floating fat-bergs?*

Pretty icky, we imagine.

Amidst the Ashes, the second Mission Pack set in the ongoing conflict of War Zone Charadon, is designed to complement the developments in the Book of Fire (which is also up for pre-order this weekend), and puts your Crusade force right in the heart of this rather unpleasant environment.

In fact, one of the Combat Patrol missions is called Fat-berg Clearance, and challenges the attacker to collapse the entrances of a tunnel network that the defender has hollowed out within one of these unsightly abominations. By destroying key objectives on the battlefield, the attacker will prevent the defender from being able to deploy their Strategic Reserves from the fat-berg tunnels to outflank them. Gross.

The pack includes a total of 24 narrative play missions for your Crusade games – a set of six for each of the recommended game sizes – all of which immerse you in the setting of War Zone Charadon as the worlds of the embattled sector succumb to Nurgle’s corruption. Check out the full list of missions below and you’ll get a taste of the sort of challenges that await your Crusade force.

Amidst the Ashes contains lots of flavourful extra rules in addition to the missions themselves. If you’re looking to send your Crusade force into War Zone Charadon – or continue its campaign exploits there from the Plague Purge Mission Pack – then you’ll be able to choose from a number of new Agendas. You can also awaken the machine spirits of your vehicles and even corrupt the minds of your Psykers with new Requisitions, thereby unlocking new upgrade trees that offer access to powerful new abilities, psychic powers, and Stratagems.

It won’t be long before you can take a deep dive into the next stage of War Zone Charadon – both the Book of Fire and Amidst the Ashes are available to pre-order from this weekend, so make sure you grab your copies of these awesome, narrative-driven books.

* We’re not really sure where fat-bergs would come from, though a Great Unclean One is almost certainly involved. In any case, we reckon even the mighty god-machines of the Adeptus Titanicus will want to steer clear of any fat-bergs, just in case…
