Every Last One

After the initial perimeter skirmishes were over, both forces had ground to a halt. Countless centuries of training had been drilled into each force, and the Marines of Chapter Pi were not going to retreat. Only an unexplored sector of the Hulk lay between them and the Chaos Marines of Chapter Theta. Both forces were once very close in the distant time before the Horus Heresy. They shared patrol duties along adjacent sectors at the Galactic fringe, until Chapter Theta was lured by Chaos, where they fled to the safety of the Warp.

Captain Lawickium of Chapter Pi lead the assault on the Hulk immediately after it materialised with a course vector passing dangerously close to the core systems of their patrol sector. Long range sensors detected the familiar transmissions on secure frequencies. The detachment of Chapter Pi Marines knew they were blessed with the chance to deal vengeance upon their distant kin.

Bombarding the Hulk would deny the opportunity for discovery, and more importantly, deny the Chapter Pi Marines the chance to exterminate the taint of chaos with their righteous justice. Captain Lawickium's men fought well, and died with honour. But the Marines of Chapter Theta were an impressive foe. To a man, they were a match for Chapter Pi, and their bestial howls were cries of fury born from pure rage and hatred.

Although little information was gained from the Hulk, the Chapter Pi Marines were hungry for the final battle. They were ready to hunt down and kill every last one of the Chaos Marines. No survivors, no escapees. No more Chapter Theta. Captain Lawickium heard the cries beyond the forward corridors, he could hear the sharp precise sounds of fresh magazines being slapped into trusty, ancient weapons. He knew that his Chapter was about to write a page of glory into its history books. He was first to step forward into the fray, his men following with eager thoughts of retribution.

Each force is trying to kill the other. Chapter Pi will not retreat, and will keep fighting until every last Marine is killed. Chapter Theta is also trying to destroy Chapter Pi; however, Chapter Theta may decide to retreat if they feel that they could be entirely destroyed. They would prefer to flee to the Warp rather than become extinct. Chaos Marines lost all their virtues and Honour when they chose to shun the Emperor.

Chapter Pi Marines
The Chapter Pi player has 30 points to purchase his force of Terminators. He must have only one Captain in the force (an option on the Standard Squad Force List). He is not allowed to purchase any Librarians at all (no Command Squads). The Chapter Pi player is otherwise free to purchase any combination of squads that he wishes.

Chapter Theta Chaos
The Chapter Theta Chaos player has 30 points to purchase his force. He must have only one Chaos Captain in the force. He is not allowed to purchase any Chaos Librarians or Chaos Dreadnoughts. The Chapter Theta player is otherwise free to purchase any other Chaos Marines that he chooses. Since the force represents the remains of Chapter Theta, the Chaos player does not need to worry about any squad coherency. Purchasing Chaos Sergeants is the player's choice.

Before the game begins, both players should study the layout of the map. They can mutually agree on which force starts from the two blue entry areas (A), and which force starts from the two pink entry areas (B). It is important to note that the force on the blue A entry areas ALWAYS moves first. If the players can not agree on which entry areas to use, then decide randomly. Remember that the force on the blue A entry areas always moves first.

The players may split their forces up between their own two entry areas as they desire, but the Chapter Pi player must make sure that each squad starts from the same entry area.

If either force has purchased Assault Cannons, then they are already hot from previous battles and may malfunction from the start of the game.

The eight rooms of the Hulk can be searched, as they appear to be old weapon stores. Any Marine from either force can search a room. It costs 4 APs to search a room if the Marine is standing in the section. He can not search the room if there is an enemy model in LOS or in the section, or if he is being fired upon, or if a section effect in the room blocks LOS (Heavy Flamers and Blind Grenades). Once a room has been searched, roll a dice to see what the Marine has found.

The opposing player places the appropriate weapon token/s on a single square in the section. It costs 1 AP for a Marine to pick up the token/s from his front square. Note that Reloads can ONLY be picked up by the appropriately armed Marine, if he has room to carry another reload. Each room can only be searched once.

Dice Roll	Item Found
1	Nothing
2	Nothing
3	5 Proximity Plasma Grenades
4	1 Power Field Generator
5	1 Assault Cannon Reload
6	1 Heavy Flamer Reload

If the Chapter Theta Chaos player's force is reduced to three (or less) remaining Marines, he has the option of retreating. The remaining Chaos Marines may head to the Disposal Chute and pay 1 AP to dive in and escape from the Hulk. The Chapter Pi player can not catch a Chaos Marine that has dived into the Disposal Chute, so he will not follow them. The fabric of space is ripped by the Warp to suck any retreating Chaos Marines back into the void. Of course the Chaos player does not have to retreat, especially if his remaining Marines are only hunting one Chapter Pi Marine!

Chapter Pi scores a win if they find retribution by killing ALL of the Chapter Theta Chaos Force, with none of them escaping.

Chapter Theta scores a win and presses on to threaten the core worlds if they are able to kill all of Chapter Pi.

If at least one Marine from Chapter Theta managed to escape while the rest of the force was destroyed, then the game is a draw. While they won the battle for the Hulk, Chapter Pi fell short of destroying every last one of Chapter Theta.
