After a player makes a Squad, it is time to calculate its Campaign Tactical Value (its CTV). This is done first by counting the number of Astartes models in the Squad. Each such model is worth 1 CTV. Add this value to the 20 TV each player is granted to build their baseline Squad. Next, add together all the Renown of all models in the Squad and divide by 5 (rounding down). Add this number to the total. The sum of all this math(s) becomes the Squad's CTV. From this point forwards, recalculate the Squad's CTV at the end of each Mission, during the Debriefing Phase, modifying for increased (or decreased) Renown, fluctuation in Squad size due to new recruits and casualties (if this occurs), and adding +1 CTV for every 10XP the Squad gains.
At the start of every Mission, the GM's Baseline Allotment is equal to the total CTV of all Squads that deploy. Modifiers to Allotment from the DoomClock, Adversarial Consequences, and/or any other factors, will be calculated into this Baseline.
So, if one player's Squad is 6 models with a combined total Renown of 28, its CTV is (6+5+20)=31.
If another player's Squad is 7 models with a combined Renown of 16, its CTV is (7+3+20)=30.
If both Squads participate in the same Mission, the GM's Baseline Allotment is 61. Modified by the Doom Clock at Hour 15, the GM's total Allotment for that Mission would be 66.

Some general GM advice (that might come across a little ranty, sorry)
So, things have gotten a little more complex, especially the part about Allotment. And you may be thinking, "Wow, that means 13 models versus 66 models! Will they survive? And if so, isn't that a whole lot of XP?" And the answers aren't exceptionally simple, because they are "Maybe" and "Yes".
"But Warboss, you said I was supposed to facilitate my player(s)' wanton enemy slaughter. How am I supposed to do that if I can field 66 two Wound Adversaries for which you are kind of vague on whether or not they are Units or individual models?"
That's a very good question, hypothetical human. The answer is, on the very first Mission, you should not be pitting the player(s)' models against 2 Wound Adversaries. But you should definitely take advantage of this pile of Allotment to field a few three Wound Minibosses. And yes, group single Wound models into Units just like you would in a regular game of 40k. This gives the player(s)' the incentive to use the Suppression rules, it makes it easier for them to pick targets (because your Adversaries are following the normal 40k rules for Cohesion and Morale), and because it's easier for you as the GM to keep track of. Only models with 3 Wounds or more should be Moving around like they are independent characters. Also, any Adversary model with 1 or 2 Wounds should be moving towards Cover if they are armed with a Weapon with a range of 15" or more and staying there to Shoot at your player(s)' models for the duration of the Mission (although they will shift positions if their targets shift) and Adversaries armed with Weapons with less than 15" range & especially those armed with Melee Weapons should be bounding from Cover to Cover to get close enough to Charge. Adversaries like Ship Dead, Chaos Cultists armed for close combat, Genestealer Hybrids, Aberrants, Ork Slugga Boyz, and Tyranid "gribbles" should be moving into the open, heedless of Cover or common sense.
My other bit of advice for using Adversaries to facilitate fun rather than to simply TPK Squads is to make use of the Adversarial Reserves rule which I admittedly reference everywhere, but have fully failed to detail anywhere. So, here are those rules:
Adversarial Reserves: The GM should spend their Allotment at the start of the Mission, as soon as they know what Squad(s) and/or models are Deploying, before the Briefing Phase. The GM should also at least have an idea of what they want to bring to the Mission before the players even show up (unless you're playing this without a GM - details for that later). The GM has 3 options for Deployment, unless a Mission has details that say otherwise. The first is to Deploy their Adversary models in accordance with the Mission guidelines. The second is basically the same, except they may use "Blips" to Deploy Adversaries in locations out of line of sight or otherwise out of visual range - because of Darkness, Gas, or unrevealed terrain layout - of any player-controlled model (either those heavy cardstock ones that come with the Genestealer Cult Codex, the ones that come with virtually every edition of the Space Hulk game, or literally anything else the GM has handy to represent them - DIY craft, glass beads, rocks, bottle caps, etc.). And third, any combination of the first 2 methods, but also holding back any number of Adversary models to act as "subsequent waves" that Deploy according to Mission Guidelines or, if there are no Guidelines about that, from the table edge farthest from the Player(s)' Deployment area. They become available at the end of the GM's Movement Phase and, just like 40k, cannot begin to arrive until Turn 2 (unless the Mission guidelines say otherwise).
As a GM, you could also introduce story-driven reasons why Adversarial Reserves show up. For instance, if a model Shoots a Weapon not equipped with a Silencer, Adversaries could start showing up. Or if they pass into a particular room, they trip an Alarm that alerts the Reserves. Or maybe if a player botches a Tech Skill test, it signals Reserves to Deploy near that model's location or alerts Adversaries nearby to target that model.
Also, don't forget about Tech Emplacements. Sentry Guns are great for creating corridors of fire where neither player(s) nor Adversaries want to go. They're also a great way to have player(s) expend Ratings on their Tech Skill trying to gain control of them. Then that Sentry Gun becomes an added asset for player(s) to exploit.
Lastly, if you are using 2 or more different Adversarial Factions at the same time - like Ship Dead and Chaos or Necrons and Demiurge - those Factions are not aligned and are as likely to try to kill each other as the Astartes that showed up to get past them. Perhaps a part of the plot becomes unlikely alliances between these Factions and the player(s) have to take on Side Quests to undermine these pacts. Maybe, during one Mission, the Astartes come upon Tyranids eating some hapless Ship Dead on the far side of the table. If the Squad(s) is able to sneak past while still fulfilling their Mission Objectives, they might bypass the potential TPK otherwise possible. And what fun would it be when they're halfway through with the Mission when the Tyranid Prime spots them and directs the Haruspex and assembled Ripper Swarms towards the Squad as they try desperately to escape before it's too late?
I guess the short version of this is to bear in mind the power level of the Squad - don't pit five models with no AP weapons against four Adversaries with 3 Wounds each and 2+ Armor Saves. Especially not if the crux of the Mission is to get something from them. You might as well tell your player(s) that rocks fall on their heads and they die, because you're setting them up to fail.

There's a power surge or another spaceship crashes into the [++Redacted++]'s outer hull and suddenly it's pitch black. Now what? Well, first and foremost, each Squad rolls 2D6. This is the limit of their senses. This is as far as they can see or hear or sense. Enemy models beyond this point might as well be invisible. But typically, they are hust as blinded. The GM rolls 2D6 for all the Adversaries, adding 1D6 for Minibosses and an extra 2D6 for Boss Monsters. Models cannot Advance and enemy models Move randomly - spin a bottle, use a twister dial, or roll a scatter die GMs, you've given up direct control in favor of mayhem. If enemy models have visuals on player models they may Move as normal. Otherwise they're just blundering about in the dark. Feel free to exchange Adversary models for Blips or remove them from the table entirely. (I suppose one could cover the terrain layout with felt, cloth, or paper to block the view, too).
Models with Wargear such as an Auspex, Augur Array, Thermal Optics, etc. or models with the Acute Senses Trait will likely suffer less in these conditions.
Shooting in the dark is tough and any target beyond visual range is impossible to hit. Models just at maximum sensory range are still -1 to be hit. Any miss however, should always be allocated to a nearby fuel barrel or other explodey thing available. Nothing illuminates quite like an oil fire.
Automatically Appended Next Post: The Best Falling Rules
Any model that falls, intentionally or otherwise, takes a single automatic hit with no AP and Damage 1, at a Strength equal to the distance fallen minus their Toughness. If the Strength of this hit is greater than twice the model's Toughness increase the Damage to D3 and improve the AP by 1.
If a model has a Toughness of 4 and hops the guardrail to plummet into a 6" deep pit, they take a single Strength 2 hit with no AP.
If Toughness 5 Brother Cletus gets shot while climbing a wall and falls 5", Brother Cletus lands painlessly with a loud clunk.
If a blind Zombie with a Toughness of 2 blunders into the chasm between two wrecked ships and cartwheels down into that 18" darkness, they take a single Strength 16 hit with an AP of -1 and a Damage of D3. In other words, they fly apart at the moment of impact.
If an Astartes dies from falling into a hole, their replacement gets +1 Renown.

During the course of Missions, it is highly probable that some of the player(s)' models will suffer the dreaded 15+ roll on the Recovery Table. This is the natural course of events, but also means Squads will become depleted unless player(s) can replace their losses.
Therefore, when a model dies, first deduct their Renown and XP contribution plus 1 from the Squad's CTV. Remember that their Renown is 1/5th calculated and XP is 1/10th calculated, both rounded down. This number becomes the TV available to the player(s) to replace their losses from the Specialty and Chapter options presented.
So, if Brother Cletus, with 16 personal Renown and 21 total XP, gets lascannon-ed in half one Mission and fails to recover, the Squad's CTV is reduced by 6 (16 divided by 5 is 3 / 21 divided by 10 is 2). Therefore, Brother Cletus II can cost up to 6 TV.
Of course, player(s) can also, if they end up with a surplus of TV, purchase more than 1 replacement, as long as the total TV cost does not exceed their CTV loss.
Taking the example above, the loss of Brother Cletus could mean the recruitment of up to 6 bog-standard Tactical Marines, named Cletus II, Cletus III, Haroldicus, Cletus IV, Cletus V, and Andronicus (or whatever names your player(s) may choose).
Adding new Recruits to an Existing Squad
Player(s) also have the option of adding more models to their Squad(s) over the course of the Campaign. At any point past the 1st Mission, provided the Squad has returned to the Intolerance (so not in between Linked Missions), Squad members may pool their Renown to "purchase" a new Squad member. Each 10 Renown spent in this way equals 1 TV. This is an exception to the rule that states models must return their Renown purchases at the end of Missions. This new recruit is a permanent add and Squad mates replenish their spent Renown during the Debriefing Phase.
So, Brothers Eronomus, Cletus II, Haroldicus, and Cletus IV pool together a total of 30 Renown during the Arming Phase of an upcoming Mission. They therefore have 3 TV to spend on a new Squad mate. They add a 1st Company Hospitalier Assault Marine to their Squad. The player(s) name this new recruit Draconi. At the end of the upcoming Mission, the Squad's Renown is refunded and Draconi is permanently added to the Squad's roster.
The [++Redacted++] Grows The following is a list of derelict Spaceships and other things that will crash into the growing wreckage of the [++Redacted++] at each of the 9-hour intervals, 18 through 72. These are suggestions, as GMs can use whatever they like and have models in their collections for. These are meant as GMing tools. Feel free to modify or be inspired by these entries. They are in no particular order.
M37 Pilgrim Conveyor: Covenant Ark Hull: Frigate Original Crew Compliment: ~10,000
Circumstance of Drift: Apparent loss of crew
Current Condition of Crew: Degenerated or Slaughtered
Probable Disposition: Genestealer Cult, Genestealers, Ship Dead
Spoiler:
Ship's Story At some point during this vessel's Pilgrimage, the Genestealer Cult festering in its depths claimed the lives or the minds of the last of her crew and passengers. None remained human as the Cult slipped into the Navigator's chamber. Presumably in that struggle the Covenant Ark was shunted off course and remained adrift for some considerable time.
Lore If a player asks for more information about this Vessel and they have the Forbidden Lore or Tech Skill*, they may use these to glean any of the following tidbits of information:
Manufacture (Tech, Forbidden Lore): the Covenant Ark is of a hull type in common usage throughout the Imperium, designed to convey the faithful from one Holy destination to the next. It is rumored that every vessel has a Relic entombed in its bridge superstructure. Getting to the bridge to retrieve this Relic may bring the Emperor's favor.
Crew(Forbidden Lore): Sometimes these vessels will carry generations of Pilgrims; supplicants from a variety of worlds deemed worthy to enter the ship's holy interiors. Over time, the crew mingles with its passengers and fraternization is common. Despite its relatively small crew compliment, these frigates may eventually boast hundreds of thousands of occupants, crammed into every nook and corner of the vessel's cramped interior.
*GMs, prompt your players with these Skills so that they know they have the option to use them.
Complications Missions that take place partially or wholly inside the chambers of this vessel are always +3D6 Allotment (rolled in secret by the GM during the Arming Phase), which must be spent on Genestealers or Genestealer Cult Adversaries. This is in effect whether or not players discern the tidbit of information regarding the untold numbers of potential occupants.
Interior Architecture/Terrain Guidelines: The Covenant Ark is full of tall-ceiling chambers and baroque archways. At one time, the shrines of Imperial Saints were in place at every intersection and devotionals on every flat surface large enough to support the plaque, but the pale squares and empty screwholes on the walls suggest these have long since been torn down. Any shrines that remain are filled with the bones of hybrids and the twisted remnants of Abominants' chitin.
Many corridors and chambers are lined with corroded residue and collapsed birthing chambers - evidence of a cult run rampant and heedless of discovery. Equally, maintenance and organization has been reduced to zero, so chambers are more likely to be scattered with empty cargo containers, fuel barrels, and/or broken furniture and fixtures. Sometimes there may even be the remnants of shantytowns erected inside more cavernous chambers and corridors, sprawling as much upwards as outwards into the darkness. The ship's interior is a mess.
Any Technology on the table in sections including chambers and corridors from this vessel will be universally at Minuscule Power, unless otherwise noted. Lighting is terrible, with a 50% chance that it won't even be on in any given section. At the start of every Player Turn, roll a D6. On a 4+, all the lights that are on in the Covenant Ark sections will suddenly go out, and these will remain dark until the end of the game.

Treasures of the "Covenant Ark" Any time a model could potentially rummage through a "treasure chest" or might have to roll on a Treasure Table during the course of a Mission on board this Vessel, use the following charts to determine what may be there to find. Treasure Chests should be clearly identifiable and can be searched if a model is within 2" of one during the Command Phase or one of the model's Shooting Phases instead of taking another action. Treasure gained from Exploration Missions should be rolled by each Astartes deployed on the Mission during the Debriefing Phase.
Treasure Chest: roll a D6 1: mostly junk, discarded clothing, and trinkets. Nothing of value.
2-3: a few holy odds and ends, catechisms, and minor Relics. If the model takes on 01 Capacity worth of items, they gain +1 Renown during the Debriefing Phase.
4-5: shattered machine parts, cracked data slates, and depleted power cells. If the model takes on 01 Capacity worth of items, they gain +1 Esteem with the Faction of their choice during the Debriefing Phase.
6: an actual Pilgrim Relic. Although mostly an esoteric icon from one of any number of worlds, this 01 Capacity item may be used once this Mission to re-roll a single die for any reason. Additionally, the model carrying it gains +1XP and +1 Renown at the end of the Mission.
Exploration Treasure: roll a D6 for each Astartes deployed on this Mission
1: mostly junk, discarded clothing, and trinkets. Nothing of value.
2: a few holy odds and ends, catechisms, and minor Relics. +1 Renown.
3: shattered machine parts, cracked data slates, and depleted power cells. +1 Esteem with the Faction of your player(s)' choice.
4: an item of cultural relevance, good for referencing where this Vessel has been. +1 Esteem with any Inquisitorial Faction.
5: a "machine skeleton key", useful for opening locked doors on any Vessel of Imperium manufacture. This negligible Capacity item may be purchased for future Missions with a Threshold of 25 and a Cost of 10. It may be used once to unlock a door, after which it is useless. +1XP.
6: an actual Pilgrim Relic. Although mostly an esoteric icon from one of any number of worlds, this 01 Capacity item may be purchased for future Missions with a Threshold of 15 and a Cost of 03. It may be used once per Mission to re-roll a single die for any reason. +1XP and +1 Renown.
CA1: Into the Lightless Void At least 1 Squad must be deployed on this Mission. Any number of additional Squads may also be deployed. When this Vessel arrives, this Mission (and the one it is Linked with) interrupts the normal course of Campaign Missions and must be played before taking up the Main Missions again.
Brothers, the Hive Mind is blinding our sensorium. And yet we must push onwards. The darkness that lies before us is but an obstacle to be overcome. Move cautiously, beware of ambushes, but do not be waylayed by this. Trust in your wargear to carry you through and, where you meet the enemies of Man in the shadows, let your bolters speak for you.
CA1: Into the Lightless Void: Linked with Mission CA2
Briefing Phase In service to Whom
This Mission serves the Deathwatch. If there are any Inquisitorial Factions present from another derelict, players may also treat this Mission as a Side Quest for one of those Factions.
Known Adversaries Your collection determines Adversaries used, but the author suggests Genestealers and Genestealer Cult, in keeping with this vessel's theme.
Battlefield GMs have a lot of leeway when setting up this battlefield. Follow the architectural guidelines presented for this vessel, with shanty villages set up right inside the corridors and cargo holds. A maze-like atmosphere is recommended.
Once all terrain is placed, players and GM take it in turn to place D3+1 Entry Points each, anywhere on the table.
If any Deathwatch Marine gets within 4" of an Entry Point the GM cannot use it to deploy any Adversaries, until the model moves away or is killed. A GM, if using Genestealer Cult, may place Blip Markers at these Entry Points, even if an enemy model is within 5" to 9" of it. Blips are revealed by active Augury scans (as detailed in this Campaign's Basic Rules) or by the GM, whenever an enemy model moves further than 9" away from the Entry Point allowing the Blips to Move as normal (and they then Move into line of sight of an enemy model). When an enemy model Moves to within 4" of the Entry Point, the Blips must retreat.
In addition, at the start of each of the Player(s)' Turns, roll a D6. On the roll of a 4+, the lights go out and stay out until the end of the Mission.
Technology on the Table None.
Primary and Tertiary Objectives Primary Objective(s):
Find a Path Through: this is the simplest of Objectives. All Astartes models must simply exit the board via the opposite table edge from where they Deployed.
Survive: any Astartes that ends the Mission with 1 or more Wounds remaining can be said to have personally achieved this Objective. The Mission Leader gains a bonus +1 Renown for every allied Astartes (excluding itself) that achieves this Objective.
Tertiary Objective(s):
Identify the Nature of our Adversaries: the GM should inform their player(s) when they have encountered all of the different types of Units the GM intends to deploy on this Mission. Alternatively, any model with the Forbidden Knowledge Skill can test using the "I know these Cyphers" effect to complete this Objective.
Extraction/Time Although there is no "extraction" for this Mission (it's Linked), there is still a 1 hour insertion time, plus if the body of the Mission lasts 5 Turns or less, add 1 hour to the total time. If the Mission takes 6 Turns or more, add 2 hours.
First Turn The Deathwatch take the first Turn.
Player Prep Choose Leader: player(s) elect one of their models to represent the squad's leader for this Mission.
- Deployment Options: one option for which the Mission Leader qualifies. The GM may deploy up to 6" from the table edge opposite the Deathwatch and/or keep their forces in Adversarial Reserves.
- Extraction Options: as per the Primary Objectives, all allied models must exit the board.
Arming Phase: players should be reminded that they are arming for 2 Missions and plan accordingly. The author suggests plenty of reloads.
Deploy: according to the parameters selected by the Mission Leader. The GM may place their models anywhere up to 6" from the board edge opposite where the Deathwatch deploy or within 2" of any Entry Point and at least 12" from any enemy models.
Play Game (and have fun)
Bear in mind that, while there is no Debriefing Phase in this Mission, player(s) must still roll on the Recovery Table if they finish this Mission with fewer than their starting Wounds. Characters who perish are Teleported back to the Intolerance.
GM's Section:
Spoiler:
Allotment: the GM begins play with Allotment equal to the Deathwatch Squad(s)' CTV plus the bonus provided by the Doomclock, plus the bonuses for this Vessel.
Potential Relics for the "My Chapter has had Extensive Experience With This Subject" Skill effect 25 / 03 / - / Inquisitorial Rosette / This item allows the bearer to re-roll 1 failed Command Skill test per Turn.
15 / 03 / 01 / Pilgrim Relic / Although mostly an esoteric icon from one of any number of worlds, this item may be used once per Mission to re-roll a single die for any reason.
CA2: Stem the Tide All Squad(s) deployed on Mission CA1 must participate in this Mission.
In the Darkness there are terrors, but we are undeterred. Brothers, there may be untold thousands of these wretched beasts waiting and hunting for us. So we must draw them to us. Hold out as long as possible and kill as many as you can. For we must blunt this avalanche at all cost.

Briefing Phase In service to Whom
This Mission serves the Deathwatch.
Known Adversaries Your collection determines Adversaries used, but the author suggests Genestealers and Genestealer Cult, in keeping with this vessel's theme.
Battlefield The table should consist of relatively straight lines of fire - long corridors and big rooms - with very little scatter terrain, except on the side of the table where the Deathwatch will deploy.
Once all terrain is placed, players and GM take it in turns to place 8 Entry Points, anywhere on the table at least 4" away from any other Entry Point.
If any Deathwatch Marine gets within 4" of an Entry Point the GM cannot use it to deploy any Adversaries, until the model moves away or is killed. A GM, if using Genestealer Cult, may place Blip Markers at these Entry Points, even if an enemy model is within 5" to 9" of it. Blips are revealed by active Augury scans (as detailed in this Campaign's Basic Rules) or by the GM, whenever an enemy model moves further than 9" away from the Entry Point allowing the Blips to Move as normal (and they then Move into line of sight of an enemy model). When an enemy model Moves to within 4" of the Entry Point, the Blips must retreat.
In addition, at the start of each of the Player(s)' Turns, roll a D6. On the roll of a 6, the lights go out and stay out until the end of the Mission.
Technology on the Table None.
Primary and Tertiary Objectives Primary Objective:
Slaughter Them: for every 30 Wounds each Astartes inflicts, they gain +1 Renown.
Tertiary Objective(s):
Survive: any Astartes that ends the Mission with 1 or more Wounds remaining can be said to have personally achieved this Objective.
Extraction/Time There is no "insertion" for this Mission (it's Linked). The Mission Leader determines how long the Squad(s) stays. If they stay for 5 Turns or less, add 1 hour to the total time. If they stay for 6-10 Turns add 2 hours. If they stay for 11-15 Turns add 3 hours. If they stay for 16 or more Turns, add 5 hours. Plus extraction of 1 hour.
First Turn The Deathwatch take the first Turn.
Player Prep Choose Leader: player(s) elect one of their models to represent the squad's leader for this Mission.
- Deployment Options: Just Down the Hall. The GM may deploy up to 6" from the table edge opposite the Deathwatch and/or keep their forces in Adversarial Reserves.
- Extraction Options: Teleportarium

CAo: A Light in the Darkness If player(s) decide to undertake this Mission, they may send as many Squads as they like. If any Squads are left behind, they may participate in other Missions while this Mission is ongoing.
Auguries have determined that a lone generator in the depths of this derelict still functions. If we are to delve deeper into this wreck or if we must pass further through it, we should make an effort to illuminate our path. I'm entrusting you to get this done swiftly, we haven't much time to waste.

Briefing Phase In service to Whom
This Mission serves the curiosity of the Deathwatch. If there are any Inquisitorial Factions present from another derelict, players may also treat this Mission as a Side Quest for one of those Factions.
Known Adversaries Your collection determines Adversaries used, but the author suggests Genestealers and Genestealer Cult, in keeping with this vessel's theme.

When an enemy model Moves to within 4" of the Entry Point, the Blips must retreat.
Technology on the Table The GMmust place a single Miniscule Power Generator as close to the center of the board as possible. Models must be able to have access to it. The author suggests, if you are using a set-up with multiple levels, to put the Generator on the lowest level possible.
The player(s) may then place up to 3 Dead Terminals any where on the board at least 12" from a board edge and at least 9" from any other Terminal. Each time the Generator's Power increases, the Terminal's Power Levels all also increase by 1 Step.
Successful Skill interaction with any Terminal will yield one or more data tidbits as detailed in the GM section to follow.
Primary and Tertiary Objectives Primary Objective(s):
Repair the Generator: at least 1 Marine must move into base contact with the Generator to begin repairs. If a player's model is in contact with the Generator during the Command Phase, roll a D6. For each Marine beyond the first, add +1 to this roll. For each Primaris Techmarine, Servitor, or Techmarine, instead add +D3 to this roll. Keep track of these scores and add subsequent rolls to this total. When this total reaches or exceeds 10, the Generator increases its Power Level by 1 Step. This action may be repeated to increase the Power Level of the Generator by 1 Step for every full 10 totaled. Any Marine participating in this Action counts as Personally Completing this Objective as long as the Generator increases its Power Level by at least 1 Step.
Defend the Position While Repairs are Ongoing: every full Turn that goes by where a Repair roll happens, all Marines on the table with at least 1 Wound remaining will gain +1XP.
Tertiary Objective(s):
Access 1 or more of the Restored Terminals: any Marine that moves into base to base contact with one of the restored Terminals counts as achieving this Objective. However, a Marine with the Tech Skill can actually use it on the Terminal to gain some information as detailed in the GM's Section below.
Bleed the Abominations Dry: every Marine that personally scores 20 or more kills may claim to have achieved this Objective.
Extraction/Time While it may only take 1 hour to Insert, finding the Generator may be unexpectedly time-consuming. Therefore, at the start of the first Turn, the Mission Leader should roll a D3-1 and add this number in hours to the duration of the Mission.
If the body of the Mission lasts 5 Turns or less, add 1 hour to the total time. If the Mission takes 6 Turns or more, add 2 hours.
First Turn The Deathwatch take the first Turn.

Terminal Data Models that successfully interact with any Terminal using the "Let It Speak Its Name to Me" effect gain one (or more with appropriate Talents) of the following tidbits of information.
GMs, tell your player(s) each Terminal presents multiple Categories of information and let them pick one topic from the following list and then make them roll their Skill test. If they have the ability to get more than one "tidbit" of info, give them multiples from the same category. If player(s) can use their Skill more than once, they may choose a new category each time or stick with their original. GMs, inform your player that "sticking with" the same category for multiple rolls nets them a +1 to each subsequent roll. However, Categories have a limited amount of info. Therefore GMs, inform your player when they are at the end of the list for a Category so they don't needlessly waste their Ratings.

I have been charged with investigating the piety of the passengers and rooting out any heretical threats. So far, all I have discovered is that there is no way to differentiate between the crew and the pilgrims. Both seem to wear the same or similar uniforms and all seem to occupy their routines with walking the long corridors, stopping at every shrine to offer a quick prayer. At least superficially, they seem devout. (This grants the Player(s) a Data Record worth 1 Esteem to any Inquisitorial Faction).
2.) Okay, glad I encrypted this. There's a peck more Decks on this ship than my original guess. Additional, internal maps don't account for the half dozen towns that sprawl in the dark. They keep tryin to "bring my seed" to their communities, but I got a job to do. It's gettin hard'n harder to stay underwraps.

1.) Inception. The engine weeps. Its bones creak. It is born old. I do not know how we will survive. Even after we inter the bio-sensorium, the hull will be riddled with rat-holes and unnecessarily redundant decking. I do not look forward to my task. (This grants the Player(s) a Data Record that they can use to reduce the Allotment in any Mission at least partially onboard the "Covenant Ark" by -D6).
2.) Retrofit. After inadvertently compressing half a dozen decks slingshotting around a gas giant, we limped to Antax for retrofit. Reinforcements to the superstructure have filled in most of the excessive decks, but I fear it has created an even worse maze of unused chambers than before. They are sure to fill with vermin over time. I have requested purgation units, but we will see what Fabricator Lobis provides. (This grants the Player(s) a Data Record that they can use to place up to 2D3 Volatile Fuel Barrels in any Mission at least partially onboard the "Covenant Ark" anywhere on the revealed terrain).
3.) Rats in the Walls. I can hear them scratching through the bulkheads! This is unacceptable. I have sent servitors into the depths with flame units, but I fear they are being overwhelmed. I haven't many left to spare. Maybe if we flush the sealed decks? (This grants the Player(s) a Data Record that they can use to place up to D3 "Treasure Chests" in any Mission at least partially onboard the "Covenant Ark" anywhere at least 9" from any board edge. Refer to the Treasures list in this Vessel's description).
4.) Lost. Something has tripped the internal comms and I've lost contact with the bridge. I fear the vermin have finally chewed their way through the atmospherics and it is simply a matter of time before I asphyxiate. Ah, well. I've done my duty. Praise the Omnissiah.

2.) By Order of the Synod. In the depths of Cargo Hold 12 on Deck 14 [14-12G], you will find the Stassis-Vault marked "Melethoi". This relic has been entrusted to our care and conveyance to the Shrine World of Gabrielle. If we run adrift and you find it, please, continue our sacred duty. (This grants the Player(s) a Data Record worth D3 Esteem to any Ecclessiarchal Faction).
3.) Lords of Terra preserve us. Our Servitors keep disappearing. I've directed the Enginseers to enact a tracking program for them. Perhaps we will find them all gathered in the same queue. (This grants the Player(s) a Data Record worth D3 Esteem to the Reparists Faction).
4.) The situation is deteriorating. I have sealed the Bridge and other vital sections with an encrypted keycode. The beasts are cunning, but they are not intelligent. I only pray we will reach an Imperial outpost before we are breached. They have killed our internal comms. If you are reading this, find us in the Command Chapel. We await Deliverance.

If player(s) unlock this Mission, they may send as many Squads as they like. If any Squads are left behind, they may participate in other Missions while this Mission is ongoing.
We have some idea, Brothers, as to where we may find their nest. Take a Squad into the heart of this derelict, locate the Magus or any other beastly overlord, and kill it. Let us stamp them out like the vermin they are.
CA3: The Cull: Routine
Briefing In service to Whom
This Mission serves the interests of the Deathwatch, but may be counted as a Side Quest for any other Faction as well.
Known Adversaries Your collection determines Adversaries used, but the author suggests Genestealers and Genestealer Cult, in keeping with the Vessel's theme.
Battlefield A series of interconnected chambers and hallways, preferably 1-4 decks in height. There should be plenty of scatter terrain and places to hide for Adversary forces. In addition, the GM should place up to 3 squishy, organic terrain pieces to represent birthing chambers. These should be placed no closer than 12" from the Deathwatch deployment zone, but may otherwise be placed anywhere on the board.
The GM deploys second, anywhere at least 18" away from all deployed Deathwatch or their allies models.
Technology on the Table None.
Primary and Tertiary Objectives Primary Objective(s):
Assassinate the Magus: locate and eliminate the Genestealer Magus. If the Mission ends and the Magus is still alive, regardless of all other completed Objectives, this Mission counts as a failure.
Tertiary Objective(s):
Destroy the Birthing Chambers: each squishy Birthing Chamber has Toughness 6 with 10 Wounds. It doesn't Move and it doesn't fight, but it is a Psyker. All birthing chambers must be destroyed for this Objective to be completed.
Cull the Horde: for every 15 Wounds inflicted on Minions, Mini Bosses, or Boss Monsters, an Astartes gains +1XP in addition to any other gains for doing such. At least 15 Wounds collectively must be inflicted on Minions, Mini Bosses, and/or Boss Monsters, for this Objective to be considered complete.

Birthing Chambers The Birthing Chambers are Psykers that know the Psychic Power Smite and 1 other from the Broodmind Discipline. It can attempt to cast 1 psychic power per Turn and can attempt to Deny 1 psychic power per Turn within 12". It also has the <Synapse> keyword with a 12" range. Each Turn, during the Command Phase, roll 3D6 for each Birthing Chamber - this is the Power level of Genestealers, Hybrids, and/or Aberrants that reinforce the Adversaries by crawling out of the Birthing Chamber this Turn. They may be placed within 3" of the Chamber and act as normal for the remainder of the Turn.

CA4: Storm the Bridge (Side Quest)
If player(s) unlock this Mission, they may send as many Squads as they like. If any Squads are left behind, they may participate in other Missions while this Mission is ongoing.
The IronHeart of this Ultramarine must be retrieved, Brothers. Emperor Willing, it has not been desecrated. But in any case, it must be found and returned to us for safekeeping. Good luck, and bring the Emperor's Wrath with you.
CA4: Storm the Bridge: Routine
Briefing In service to Whom
This Mission serves the interests of the Deathwatch, but may be counted as a Side Quest for any Inquisitorial Faction as well.
Known Adversaries Your collection determines Adversaries used, but the author suggests Genestealers and Genestealer Cult, in keeping with the Vessel's theme.
Battlefield One large room should be set up no further than 6" from one short board edge. All corridors and other chambers lead here. If possible, this large room should have a significant platform within it, overlooking the deck below, with Fortified Bulkhead Doors opening onto this platform. The room is scattered with bones and the debris of battle. A Marker representing the IronHeart should be placed on this platform.
The GM then places up to 8 Entry Points anywhere within 6" of the board edges and at least 9" from this large room. The deathwatch deploys on the opposite board edge from the large room. The GM may deploy up to 3" from any table edge and at least 18" from any Deathwatch or allied model.
Technology on the Table In the large room (on the platform if using), place 3 Terminals at a random Power Level.
Additionally, the Player(s) and GM alternate placing D3+1 Multilaser Sentry Turrets. These Turrets must be able to draw line of sight to at least 1 entrance to the large room.
Lastly, there should be a Keypad outside 1 of the Doors leading to the large room. This Keypad* can be hacked to open the Doors with a successful Tech Skill test.
*See GM's section for more details.
Primary and Tertiary Objectives Primary Objective(s):
Retrieve the IronHeart: a model must Move into base contact with this Relic to pick it up. It weighs 02 Capacity. The model carrying it must extract with it to achieve this Objective.
Tertiary Objective(s):
Pull the Cogitator Cores: any model in base to base contact with one of the Terminals may destroy the technology to remove its Core. Each Core weighs 04 Capacity and grants a model carrying it +1 Renown if they extract with it. These Cores grant the entire Deathwatch contingency (including new recruits, replacements, and all models in all squads regardless of whether or not they deployed for this Mission) +1XP for each 1 retrieved. Alternatively, a Core may be traded to the Lord's Own Code or any Inquisitorial Faction for +3D6 Esteem.
Cull the Horde: for every 15 Wounds inflicted on Minions, Mini Bosses, or Boss Monsters, an Astartes model gains +1XP in addition to any other gains for doing such. At least 15 Wounds collectively must be inflicted on Minions, Mini Bosses, and/or Boss Monsters, for this Objective to be considered complete.
Access any Terminal: any model with the Tech Skill that successfully pulls 1 or more tidbits of info from any Terminal can count as personally completing this Objective.
Extraction/Time In addition to the 1 hour for insertion and the 1 hour for extraction, if this Mission takes 5 Turns or less, add 1 hour to Mission time. If it takes 6 hours or more, add 2 hours.
First Turn The Adversaries take the first Turn.
Player Prep Choose Mission Leader: player(s) elect one of their models to represent the squad's leader for this Mission.
- Deployment Options: any 1 for which the Mission Leader qualifies.
- Extraction Options: Teleportarium
Arming Phase: player(s) arm their models for the task at hand.

Spoiler:
Allotment: the GM begins play with Allotment equal to the deployed Squad(s) CTV, plus the bonus provided by the Doomclock, plus the bonuses associated with this Vessel.
The Keypad If players successfully interact with the Keypad it informs them that the Sentry Guns on the Bridge have been depleted, but that power stores are being rerouted. Successfully opening these doors with the Keypad also automatically tags the player(s)' models as "Friend" to the Turrets.
The Sentry Guns If player(s) do not interact with the Keypad or are unsuccessful in their attempt, these Turrets activate and begin tracking targets as soon as any model Moves to within 3" of any of the Terminals. The GM should roll a D3 when this happens. This is the number of Battlerounds it takes the Sentry Guns to recharge themselves. If player(s) haven't gained control of these Turrets by then, they will treat all targets as "Foe", firing on the closest model at the start of each Turn's Shooting Phase. Recharged Turrets have power for 50 Phases of Shooting.
Weapon / Type / Range / Rate of Fire / Strength / AP / Damage / Traits Multilaser / Heavy / 36" / -|-|3 / 6 / - / 1 / BS4+
The Terminals When any model gets within 3" of any Terminal, all 3 spring to life. Each displays a different main screen, clearly depicting 3 separate Categories of information. Models that successfully interact with any Terminal using the "Let It Speak Its Name to Me" effect gain one (or more with appropriate Talents) of the following tidbits of information.
GMs, tell your player(s) each Terminal presents a different Category of information and label each appropriately when it's decided (the author suggests a token or differently colored glass gems). If player(s) have the ability to get more than one "tidbit" of info, give them both from the same Category.
Terminal A Category: Travel Log:
1.) This is a catalogue of the Vessel's prior recorded destinations. In addition to revealing a long litany of mundane visitations to primarily Shrine and Civilized Worlds, it also reveals a few "special locations" such as the seat of power for a minor branch of the Ecclesiarchal Synod, a protectorate planet under the jurisdiction of an unknown Order of the Sororitas, and a "Graveyard World" converted from a poorly maintained Agriworld. (This Data Record may be traded to any Ecclesiarchal Faction for +1 Esteem.)
2.) A list, with personal notations regarding efficiency and piety, for a half dozen ports of call throughout the Segmentum Pacifica. While not much use to the Deathwatch, this may prove an invaluable resource for a Puritan of the Ordo Hereticus. (This Data Record may be traded to a Puritan or Ordo Hereticus Inquisitorial Faction or an Ecclesiarchal Faction for +2D3Esteem.)
Terminal B Category: Incident Reports:
1.) This is a long list of internal memos regarding crew disciplinary actions, damage reports, cargo manifests, shipboard births, marriages, passenger deaths, thefts, and other notable occurrences. Although not of any tactical use, any Sage or Historian would appreciate such a comprehensive log. (This Data Record may be traded to any Inquisitorial Faction for +1 Esteem.)
2.) This is a detailed record of this Vessel's experience in year 2 through 11 of M37 in a Sector of the Segmentum Pacifica called Pallathias. It seems a significant portion of the sector is encased in a nebula that partially blocks the Astranomicon. During the course of this vessel's travels throughout Pallathias, a Pogrom lead by the Ecclesiarchy from outside the Nebula sought to bring divergent Creeds into line with its own interpretation of Imperial Dogma. The ensuing war has come be known as the Diannan Incident to Adeptus Historians. This detailed, first-hand record is an invaluable resource to those who study such histories. (This Data Record may be traded to any Inquisitorial Faction for +2D3Esteem.)
Terminal C Category: Command Log:
1.) This is a surprisingly short list of Command personnel assigned to this Vessel over the course of its commission. Towards the end of this ship's service, the line of command became less of an assigned position and more of an inherited one. Information like this is useful both for tracing the genetic lineage of the genestealers onboard and for tracing the familial lines of the Imperial Nobles who served onboard this Vessel before its corruption. (This Data Record may be traded to any Inquisitorial or Imperial Faction for +1 Esteem.)
2.) This is an encrypted Data Log of all Shipboard command protocols and security measures. (This Data Record allows the Deathwatch to unlock any Door on this Vessel and grants +1 to all future Tech Skill tests onboard this Vessel.)
The Fragment of Brother Cagnius Voltarun of the Ultramarines (aka the IronHeart Relic) 50 / 15 / +02 / IronHeart / This item may be attached to a Storm or Siege Shield or incorporated into the chest plate of any Powered, Terminator, or Gravis Armor. It increases that item's weight by +02 Capacity and reduces the Strength of 1 hit per Phase by -D3.
Potential Relics for the "My Chapter has had Extensive Experience With This Subject" Skill effect 15 / 03 / 01 / Pilgrim Relic (Generic*) / Although mostly an esoteric icon from one of any number of worlds, this item may be used once per Mission to re-roll a single die for any reason.
*There is no rule against having multiple copies of the same Generic Relic. Players may accrue any number of these items.

Thanks, Solar_lion! I'll take that as the compliment I'm sure it was meant to be. This isn't "completed" yet (as I've set just an insane goal for myself), but it is playable as is. There's plenty more to come, not only for this Campaign, but for others I am likely to do. Like, eventually I hope to make this compatible with any Faction and not just the Imperium. I've laid the groundwork for a chaos campaign, an astra militarum campaign, and an ork campaign. But for now I'm concentrating on this, because once the pandemic ends, I'm going to run it for my home group and I want it to be robust, fair, and structured. I want rules that players can hold me to.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback. And stay tuned for more.
CA5: Explore the Ark: Exploration (Side Quest) Briefing If player(s) unlock this Mission, they may send either 1 or more Squads or any individual models from any Squad up to 8.
In service to Whom This Mission serves the interests of the Deathwatch, but may be considered a Side Quest for the Catalogists, Reparists, or any Ecclessiarchal or Inquisitorial Faction. It can also be considered a Side Quest for all of those Factions at the same time.
"While delving ever deeper into this wreck may seem a frivolous waste of time to some, the potential for the strengthening of our alliances with the myriad Factions trapped here with us is too great an opportunity to overlook. We must make the most of our time and gain as much intel as possible with as little delay as plausible. May the Emperor guide your path, Brothers."
Primary and Tertiary Objectives Primary Objective(s):
Retrieve Anything Useful: Roll 1D6 for each model that was assigned to this Mission during the Debriefing Phase. Any model that rolls a 2+ counts as personally achieving this Objective. Narrative descriptions and treasure tables to be found in the GM section below.
Survive: There is the distinct possibilty of being overwhelmed in the depths with no hope for rescue. For each model deployed on this Mission that is not consumed by the Hive Mind in the darkness, each gains +1 Renown.
Tertiary Objective(s):
Estimate the Number of Enemy in the Depths: Each hour spent on this Mission grants a better sense of the scale of its infestation. Roll a D6 during the Debriefing Phase, adding +1 for each hour beyond 3* that the Mission lasts. On the roll of a 6+, this Objective can be considered Complete.
A Mission Leader may voluntarily extend the Mission for any amount of time to ensure a maximum result.
*This means +1 for 4 hours, +2 for 5 hours, +3 for 6 hours, and so on. Only use the highest bonus.
Mission Length 1D6 hours plus 1 hour Infiltration and 1 hour extraction. 3-8 hours without extension by the Mission Leader.
Debriefing -Record XP and Renown Players are unlikely to rack up much Renown or XP on an Exploration Mission, but you should still keep track of what they get.
-Player(s) Spend or Bank XP
Special Rules The GM should roll a D6 for every hour that this Mission takes. For each roll of a 4+ one randomly selected model that Deployed on this Mission suffers D3 Mortal Wounds.
GM Section:
Spoiler:
Treasures Have each model deployed on this Mission roll a D6. On the roll of a 2+, apply the result from the table below.
2-3: a single data core pulled from a random cogitator. This is worth 1 Esteem to any Faction.
4-5: a trove of Relic Plaques. These are worth 3 Esteem to any Ecclessiarchal or Inquisitorial Faction.
6: a weapon cache. Various lasguns, shotguns, concussion grenades, and breaching shells. This cache is worth +1 Renown to the model that brings it back.

CA6: Let it Burn! (Side Quest)
If Player(s) unlock this Mission, any number of Squads may be deployed to do it.
The best description for what we have found is a Hive. I will not mince my words, Brothers. It is likely that this is a suicide mission. But if you are successful, you will have slaughtered more enemies than we have engaged thus far. Your names shall be remembered forever.
CA6: Let it Burn!: Routine
Briefing In service to Whom
This Mission serves the interests of the Deathwatch, but may be counted as a Side Quest for any other Ordo Xenos Faction as well.
Known Adversaries Your collection determines Adversaries used, but the author suggests Genestealers and Genestealer Cult, in keeping with the Vessel's theme.
Battlefield Two thirds of the board should be dominated by a large chamber, surrounded by corridors and/or smaller chambers. If possible, the large chamber should be one deck below the remaining third of the terrain, possibly with catwalks, balconies, or the like overlooking it. This Mission should have 3 Objective Markers; 2 are placed up to 9" from any short board edge, in the corridor/small chamber terrain that makes up one third of the terrain. The final Marker should be placed as near to the center of the large chamber as possible.
The large chamber may be filled with scatter terrain and/or shanties as per the guidelines for this vessel.
The GM and players alternate placing D3 Entry Points each, anywhere on the tabletop. Additionally, if the GM has models to represent them (Sporocysts work well for this), they may place up to D3+1 "Birthing Chambers" anywhere inside that large chamber. Any of the GM's models from Reserves deploy from either the Birthing Chambers or the Entry Points when they become available.
The GM deploys first, anywhere up to 18" from the Objective Marker at the center of the large chamber. Any amount of unused Allotment may be placed in Adversarial Reserves.
Technology on the Table None.
Primary and Tertiary Objectives Primary Objective(s):
Incinerate the Nodes: at least one model must be armed with a flamer, melta, or plasma weapon to complete this Objective. Each Objective Marker must be destroyed in turn.

This Objective is only considered complete when all 3 Markers have been removed.
Tertiary Objective(s):
Cull the Horde: for every 15 Wounds inflicted on Minions, Mini Bosses, or Boss Monsters, an Astartes gains +1XP in addition to any other gains for doing such. At least 15 Wounds collectively must be inflicted on Minions, Mini Bosses, and/or Boss Monsters, for this Objective to be considered complete.
Extraction/Time In addition to 1 hour for Insertion and 1 hour for Extraction, if the Mission lasts 5 or fewer Turns, increase Mission time by 1 hour. If the Mission lasts 6 or more Turns, increase increase Mission time by 2 hours.

I edited the layout of the Chapter Heirlooms and I don't know if I made it easier to read or just more dense. Any feedback on the layout from the community is appreciated. I'll post up the next Ship and associated info soon. This Pandemic and its endlessness has been kicking my mental health in the ass.
I've been inspired by the work you've put into this enough to adopt the campaign to Space Hulk itself.
Slowly working through your mission descriptions.
This is the optional mission 'Bridge The Gap'.

This is REALLY COOL SentinelIV! I would love to see more. This whole project has existed solely in my head this entire time, I'm so happy to see it come to life!
Glad you liked the map. Below is the map I've done for the first mission in the campaign, Hulk Breach.
Boarding actions in Space Hulk are quite common, so this map isn't particularly innovative, it has some of the usual elements, with the marines arriving by Boarding Torpedo. and multiple access points to seal.
The objectives here are to identify the enemy, close all the entry points and kill the opposition.
A terminal is placed at location C, others can be added as required.

This is interesting, SentinelIV, as this is nothing like what I had envisioned for the Hulk Breach layout. I understand you are adapting my campaign to fit a traditional Spacehulk game. Personally, the limitations of these sets with their rigid number and size of rooms and corridors is what turned me away from using them specifically. I appreciate that you've taken it in your own direction.
Space Hulk is quite limited, I've restricted myself to using 1 set of tiles for most of these missions as well. I find that helps balance scenarios to a large extent. What you've created in this campaign goes far beyond anything that Space Hulk in it's relatively simplistic ruleset can convey. What I've taken from your writeups is the ideas. This next map is a case in point, as it's down to me misunderstanding what you'd done with your Exploration version of Hulk Breach when I first read your description.
Primary Objective(s):
Find a Way in: The principle goal of this Mission is to wander around the relatively safe exteriors of the Hulk searching not only for a hole to climb through, but also a hole that leads to something that could be considered productive to the Mission. Just by participating in the Mission this Objective is achieved.
This reminded me of a mission from the GW 1st edition Wolf Lair campaign, where the objective is to find the right pitfall counter, (several are dummy counters). I've taken that idea and used it to create this map which I'm using in place of your Clear The Breach Mission 2b.
The marines must seal the entry areas and then exit through the last pitfall, which story wise is the only one large enough to accommodate Terminator entry. Bonus XP if a chainfist equipped Terminator enters the pitfall first, to clear further debris.
I've gone with 2 squad progression, so this mission will be the first one for some Terminators. My hope is to be able to run this with 2 seperate sets of marines with some cooperative missions.
My version of 2A The Long March is next.
Initially I couldn't figure out a way of doing the exploration missions, but GW's Ipad release missions for 4th ed Hulk changed a few things from when I played their 2nd ed originals. In that the marines had to carry a Cyber Altered Task unit (CAT) off the board, so I've done the same for this mission. Marine can carry a CAT off either or both the double arrow entry areas to initiate an exploration mission, and seal the entry point. Possible keypad/terminals are at C, with a generator sitting at G. The marines must escort a Techmarine/tech adepts to the generator, and hold it for several turns before they can regroup in the 4 way room and seal the doors.
Hey folks, I know it's been an Age since I've posted on this thread, but I'm popping in to say I edited the Suppression rules and am currently working on more ships and Missions.
Additionally, there's a Mission where you can lose a Marine into the hulk's abyss and a notation that says there will be rules to follow about how to find them. That rule is roll a D6 every time you complete an Exploration Mission. On a 6, you find them.
