A powerful Alpha Legion Sorcerer devoted to Khorne has infiltrated your battlefield and has performed a powerful ritual.

The ritual has teleported the Sorcerer to another planetary system, but left your battle with some very bizarre after effects.

At the start of each players turn. Roll a D66 and consult the totally fair and balanced chart. The effects rolled can wither affect both players simultaneously or just you.


1/1. Shifting Priorities: Move one Objective marker 8" in any direction (except up and down).

1/2. Dont Hide in Metal Boxes:
Every model must immediately disembark from any Vehicle with the TRANSPORT keyword.


1/3. Time-Warp Fluctuations: Your VEHICLES or MONSTERS gain an extra D6" of Movement, but may not shoot or charge this turn if they use this extra movement.

1/4. Are you Sure these are Our Orders?: Both players swap their current secondary objectives with each other.

1/5. Emergency Teleport: Each player, starting with the one who's turn it is selects an enemy unit that does not contain the WARLORD. That unit must make a Leadership Test. If the test is failed, the unit is immediately placed into Reserves.

1/6. Mixed up Artillery Support Coordinates: Each player selects one friendly and one enemy unit. That unit suffers 1D3 mortal wounds and must make a BATTLESHOCK test.

2/2. Additional Support?. Gain 1D3 command point(s).

2/4. Volcanic Ash rains as scorching sands whip through the battlefield. Every unit with the FLY keyword has their movement reduced by half.

2/5. Geographical Reorganization: Swap Deployment Zones with your opponent.

2/6. Break in Reality. Roll a D6. You may swap this dice with any (Yours or your opponent’s) dice rolled until the end of the turn.

3/4 Sidereal Shift. Select one of your opponent's units. Your opponent must immediately move that unit 1D6".

3/5 Psychic Might. Select one friendly unit and one enemy unit engaged in melee with each other. All wounds delt this turn by those two units are Mortal Wounds.

3/6 Psychic Visions. Place a vision token next to 2 of your units and 1 of your opponent’s units. OVERWATCH attacks cost 0CP and the attacks gain SUSTAINED HITS 4. After use, remove all vision tokens from your units.

A: 2 BS: 2+ S: 6 AP: -2 D: D6 PRECISION, DEVASTATING WOUNDS

4/2. Strange Visions. Your Opponent selects 1 unit of yours. You must move that unit at least 4". That Unit gains 6+ Feel No Pain until the end of the turn.

4/3. All According To Plan. Tzeentch has a plan. Too bad you're not in it. Place your WARLORD into Reserves.

6/6. Exterminatus: An Inquisitor has decided that no one should survive this battle. All UNITS suffer 2D6 Mortal Wounds and take a BATTLESHOCK test.

GW had tables like these up until 8th edition. They made for fun times, even or because things could get pretty silly.
I remember a game of 7th edition, my Death Guard vs Necrons. At the time Necrons were basically unbeatable by CSM, even without them using decurion formations, so the game didn't go well for me, as usual at the time. It didn't help that my opponent rolled on the daemon World chart and summoned a Blood Thirster.

A powerful Alpha Legion Sorcerer devoted to Khorne has infiltrated your battlefield and has performed a powerful ritual.

Sorcerer devoted to Khorne

Proceeds to throw the biggest brass skull on the throne straight at him..

Pretty sure Khorne sorcerers do exist in lore even if they've been a no-go on the tabletop for a while now. Khornes aversion to psykers never really made sense. Tricky psykers who kill the enemy from miles away or use illussions? Sure. But sorcerers who teleport into melee and use their powers to buff themselves? Seems pretty on-brand. It's not like khorne daemons are going around following the laws of physics...

Rules to keep games fresh are fun, but I tend to prefer rules that are less lolrandom every turn and more of a small number of thematic twists established at the start of the game or pre-game.

It's a shame that the current Twist cards are so unbalanced as to be largely unplayable if you care about balance at all. Their equivalents in other mission card decks tended to be some of my favorite things about those decks.

Yeah, I also kinda checked out after reading 'Sorcerer devoted to Khorne".

I remember how for WHFB 8E's Storm of Magic add-on, Khorne's contribution was chucking a giant brass skull at any Chaos Sorcerer who miscast a Chaos Super Spell.

It's a shame that no one remembers the worst Dawn of War protagonist.

I feel like it's possible for a sorceror to be devoted to Khorne, but I think it's not really lore compliant for Khorne to respect sorcery.

Not to get political, but we see this in the real world- certain Holy books (which shall remain nameless) explicitly state that certain acts (which shall remain unspecified) are against the creed, yet there will be people who regularly perform those acts who still wish to embrace the creed, despite its stance on those behaviours.

And certain other followers of the creed will choose to embrace or reject these folks based on their own interpretations of the creed.

But the fun thing about a fictional diety is that we can remove our own sense of real-world ethics from the debate, and embrace our personal interpretations of the fictional diety; Lathe isn't necessarily going to be hurt or offended if some of us believe Khorne would reject the Alpha Legion sorceror (which I certainly do).

I haven't looked at any of the 10th ed Mission decks as a Crusader, so I can't speak to their events. I also have only purchased one of the Crusade campaign books this edition- I found it to be too rules-light for the money, so I never bought another. But I here there are some super crazy battlefield effects in the Armageddon book, relating to the fact that Chaos is ripping the world apart.

8th ed had Theatre of War rules, usable in both Matched play and Crusade. There were quite a few different theatres, so they could be randomized for stand-alone battles, and some of them created random effects (or effects of random duration)... Though nothing as grand as a d66 table.

There was on in the Dawn of War Winter Assault Campaign.

As for the OP, this looks like a lot of fun. I've been to a fair few narrative events that have a lot of wacky rules like this and they're always a blast.
