Fighting in the Damocles Gulf Crusade

The Damocles Gulf Crusade was a conflict fought over a previously unexplored region of the galaxy. We would ask all players to choose painting
schemes that reflect the Warhammer 40,000 universe - doing this will greatly increase everyone's enjoyment of the campaign. There is a fantastic prize
earned by the Best Army chosen by the judges. To qualify as the ‘Best Army’ particular attention will be paid to well themed armies which reflect the
brutal conflict during the Damocles Gulf Crusade as humanity battles again the expansionist Tau and the Ork hordes.

Rules of Engagement
• The Warhammer 40,000 4th Edition rules will be used for this campaign weekend, as will the latest Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) documents
from the Games Workshop website. You need the hardback version of the rulebook because some of the material from the second half will be
used throughout the campaign, and the smaller ‘Battle for Macragge’ rule book does not contain this material.

• Except for the 2500 point Assault force, each player will require an army selected from a single army list - see the section entitled Permitted Armies.

• You must have enough models to field your army as a 2500 point Heavy Assault force.

• All models within your armies should conform to "what you see is what you get" (WYSIWYG). In other words, all equipment that can be
appropriately shown should be clearly modelled on each miniature.

• Legendary units and Formations from the Apocalypse Expansion, Imperial Armour: Apocalypse, Liber Apocalyptica and the Games Workshop
website are permitted in this campaign. Home-made Apocalypse datafax are not permitted.

• Vehicles detailed only in Forge World's Imperial Armour publications may be used. If a vehicle is described in more than one Forge World publication (for
example the Griffon), the most recent version must be used. If the vehicle has an Apocalypse Datafax available for it then that should be used instead. Please
contact the Tempus Fugitives if in doubt.

• No ‘VDR’ rules are permitted in the campaign.

• The Warhammer 40,000 Cities of Death expansion will not be used in this campaign.

• You may include Special Characters from their army Codex as normal but please rename them where appropriate. So Commissar Gaunt might
become Commissar Tanner.

• No allies of any kind may be taken (including Kroot Mercenaries, Deathwatch etc). Instead Armies may use the Faction Specific Units instead
which are found in this document.

Recon Detachment
Small forces sent ahead of the main army, Recon Detachments are selected according to the following
restrictions. Part of the fun of these small armies is doing something a bit unique that you might not have the
time to do with a larger army.

Must be no more than 1000 points.

No Formations, Legendary Units or units with Structure points

No flyers. Reconnaissance aircraft do not undertake the type of missions fought by a Recon Detachment.

No ordnance weapons are allowed.

Recon Detachments must have one troop choice. You may spend remaining points from anywhere in the
Codex subject to the Recon Detachment Force Organisation chart provided.

Main Battlegroup
The Damocles Gulf Crusade is the first conflict between the Tau Empire and the Imperium. To further complicate matters for both sides the brutal Orks have descended
on many of the worlds in the Gulf. The army must be fielded as a single detachment subject to the following restrictions:

• Must be no more than 1500 points. • Models with rules in the Apocalypse rulebook or Imperial Armour:
Apocalypse MUST be used over those found in other Imperial Armour books
• May include models or units from the Recon Detachment. (for example the Valkyrie and Hydra).

• Is selected using the Standard Missions Force Organisation Chart found on • Any Fliers use the rules for aircraft found in the Apocalypse expansion.
page 78 of the 4th Edition Warhammer 40,000 Rulebook.
• Vehicles detailed only in Forge World's Imperial Armour publications may be used.
• May NOT include units with Structure points or any Apocalypse Formations. If a vehicle is described in more than one Forge World publication (for example the
Griffon), the most recent version must be used.

Heavy Assault Force

Smashing aside all but the most solidly built defences, the Heavy Assault Force represents conflict on an almost unimaginable scale. The army is subject to the
following restrictions:

• Must be no more than 2500 points. • Must be chosen from the same faction (so an Ork player may have Kult of
Speed, Bad Moons and Goffs but may not include Space Marines or Kroot).
• May include models from the Main Battlegroup and Recon Detachment.
• Vehicles detailed only in Forge World's Imperial Armour publications may be used.
• All rules from the Apocalypse Expansion are used when playing with a If a vehicle is described in more than one Forge World publication (for example the
Heavy Assault Force except that you do not get a free stratagem, the only Griffon), the most recent version must be used. If the vehicle has an Apocalypse
stratagems used are those included in formations. Deployment is based on Datafax available for it then that should be used instead. Please contact the Tempus

Waaagh! in da Eastern Fringe

One thing the Ork Warlords of the Damocles Gulf have learned fighting against the Tau Empire is that they are always sorely outgunned. Grog Ironteef,
the Warchief of Alsanta, knows this more than any other Ork Warlord as he has fought a campaign of almost constant warfare against the Empire and
become one of their most deadly foes Too often Grog found himself muttering to themselves that the Tau have no idea 'how to fight proper'. Trying to
force the Tau into a fight he would win and determined to show them that the Orks were not to be trifled with, Grog’s invasion of the worlds in the
Damocles Gulf did not go according to plan. His armies were outclassed and outgunned again and again. Though he had an entire empire of Orks to
throw into battle he found that their numbers were being whittled away with worrying speed.

Grog decided to take a different tack. Enlisting the help of as many Tankbustas, Flash Gitz and Freebooters as he could, including the mercenary Kaptin
Badrukk and Ork Freebooterz, the Warlord rearmed his forces and prepared to do battle once more. Grog encountered even fiercer resistance as he
penetrated the forces led by Commander Farsight in the north of the Tau Empire. This time, however, he was more than ready. Lootas, toting captured
Tau weaponry, exchanged massive volleys of fire with the Tau gun lines. Battlewagons and looted Hammerhead tanks pounded the massed ranks of the
Tau Fire Warriors with heavy munitions as Grog and his boyz stomped towards the enemy.

Deffkoptas corkscrewed through the skies in aerial battles with battlesuit teams, preventing them from disengaging. Most impressive of all,
Kaptin Badrukk and his Flash Gitz lit up the night, annihilating team after team of desperate Tau warriors with their snazzguns. The carnage was
only stopped by the arrival of a Manta missile destroyer, which mercilessly cut down the Flash Gitz in a volley of railgun fire. Badly wounded
and, more importantly, out of cigars, the Kaptin was forced to retreat. It is rumoured that Badrukk pursues that great and graceful ship to this
day, hell-bent on revenge.

As the battle for the northern enclaves escalated, Grog embarked his most brilliant plan yet. Having made an alliance with the
crazed Mekaniak Wazdakka Gutzmek and supporting his efforts to attack the Tau’s warp engine technology centre on Krath,
Grog concentrated on the Tau world of Ke’lshan, smashing the Tau there into submission.

Central to his scheme was the concept of retreat, a tactic all but unheard of in Ork kultur. If it weren't for the large
number of Blood Axe warbosses in Grog's employ he would never have carried it off. As the forces of Commander
Farsight pressed forward, the Ork front line fell back, hooting and hollering and clutching their heads. The Tau
forces, caught in the jubilation of the hunt, overextended themselves. Suddenly the remainder of the Ork force
ambushed them from either side, closing upon the Tau hunter cadres like a pair of giant green jaws.

Since that day many more warbands have flocked to the Warchief's banner. Grog has taken three sept worlds in
the space of a year, locked in a war of attrition that the Orks can afford but the Tau cannot. No matter how
many times Farsight and his cadres cut down the Orks, more follow close behind as new armies of greenskins
make their slow but deadly approach.

The lists on the following pages present the allowed lists for the Orks involved in the campaign. In all cases
the most recent edition of the Ork Codex will be used. These are the only armies permitted in this Faction
during the weekend and if you cannot find your army listed, in all likelihood it is not permitted. If you have
any further questions regarding army selection, please contact the event organisers before the weekend or
check the forums at www.tempusfugitives.co.uk.

Da Ork Horde of Waaagh Grog

“They got ded big shooty guns dat'll kill tons of boyz, but if yer can get near em den you've got a chance. Just gotta make sure you bring
loads of boyz, coz you ain't gonna have a whole lot left when you get close enough ta crump em...”

Warlord Skamork the Great Despoiler spoke these words as his boyz faced the might of the expanding Tau Empire. He saw an opportunity for a great deal of bashin’ and
thumpin’, particularly at the cost of the Imperium and the Tau. What was not to like? The Codex used in this faction is Codex Orks. Articles from Chapter Approved or
other sources are not to be used in this campaign. All supplementary rules to your Codex can be found in this pack.

Using the Orks in the Damocles Gulf Crusade

• Armies must be selected using the most recent edition of
Codex Orks with the latest FAQ from Games Workshop’s
website. Please contact us at the Tempus Fugitives if you do not
understand this point.

• Units detailed only in Forge World's Imperial Armour publications may

be used. If the unit features in an Apocalypse Datafax then that should
be used instead. Please contact the Tempus Fugitives if in doubt.

• The six main Ork Klans (as shown in the Codex) are
represented in Grog’s Waagh as follows:

Bad Moonz Warboss are particularly snazzy and may take a

Kustom Mega Blasta at +15 points. Each Warboss lets you
take a unit of Flash Gitz as Troops.

Blood Axes may take Kommando mobs as Troops. Each

Blood Axe Warboss adds +1 to the army reserve roll.

Death Skulls prize scavenged gunz. Their armies may take

maximum sized Lootaz mobs as Elites and/or Heavy Support

Evil Sunz make use of lots of vehicles. They may always pay
for a Big Mek in the army who does not take up an HQ slot.

Goffs armies are particularly bullish and ignore leadership

modifiers for being outnumbered or below half strength.

Snake Bites armies have bred particularly savage Grotz and

Squigs. Grot Mobs and models with Attack Squigs may re-roll
hits on the first turn of combat.

Khorne Stormboyz 140 points

Most Stormboyz eventually grow out of their obsession with flying about, dressing in
uniforms, and other militaristic behaviour. However, a few individuals find it hard to give
up the old ways, watching their mates drift away or die, while the new Stormboyz recruits
often come to regard them as cranky old-timers. Some become Stormboy Nobz and
continue to lead Stormboyz Mobz in combat, but others are drawn into one of the bands
which worship the Blood God Khorne. Worship of the Chaos Powers is not tolerated
amongst sane and sensible Orks, but the cult is rampant amongst Freebooter Stormboyz.
The Blood God epitomizes the martial virtues which they hold dear, including a harsh
disciplinary code, binding rules governing their conduct as honourable warriors and, of
course, a life of almost continual blood-letting. Stormboyz of Khorne are good hand-to-
hand fighters and easily find employment. A Khorne Stormboy who survives long enough
may be rewarded with gifts or attributes of which they are very proud. Once committed
to the Blood God the Orks know they can never return to normal Ork society. They are
destined to fall on some far flung field, their blood and bleaching bones a sacrifice to
Khorne.
