Within these ages you will find everything you need to unleash the devastating warriors of the Officio Assassinorum against the enemies of the Emperor. THE ASSASSINS There are many weapons the Imperium can bring against lteacherous commanders, alien leaders and subversive Culists. I commands the vast might of the Imperial Guard and Navy, which have the power to raze whole worlds and slaughter any number of foes. It can call upon the aid of the Space. Marines to bring swift and final vengeance against those who Would threaten the Emperor's domains. The gigantic Titans and, other war engines of the Adeptus Mechanicus can obliterate cities. Yet all these fail to instil the dread which the enemies of Mankind fee! at the mention of a single word ~ Assassin! The Officio Assassinorum is responsible only to the fabled Senatorum Imperilis ~ the High Lords of Terra who interpret the Emperor's Wil. Silent, deadly and ruthlessly efficient, an, Assassin can strike at the heart of the problem, quickly and cleanly removing those who would dare oppose the Emperor. Impassive and impersonal, an assassination sends a clear message to heretics and rebels — no one is beyond the: Emperors justice. ‘The Officio Assassinorum is divided into a number of diferent ‘Temples, each specialising in a certain manner of death, From the shape-changers of the Callidus Temple to the horitying psyker hunters of the Culexus Temple, the Officio, Assassinorum’s servants deal death in many, many ways, ASSASSINS IN GAMES OF WARHAMMER 40,000 ‘Assassins are highly skied, with very specialised wargear.

Tis is just one of the ways you can fight, ‘unusual batlas with Assassins. The next few pages feature a handful Of aiferent ways you can use your Assassins in your games of Warhammer 40,000 A ONE-MAN ARMY ‘A game with obvious appeal is the single Assassin versus an entire force. There are a number of ways you can do tis. At the most straightforward level, the Assassins opponent is allowed a small army, in ther words, @ commander and bodyguard, The Assasin starts a fai distance away (24"s a good rule of hum), and must kil all ofthe enemy before he or she is eliminated. However, there are some Variations on this theme: Alone Vindicare Assassin is holed up in a commanding position, ‘and is pinning down the enemy squads as they try to advance. He ‘must be killed before the army can continue. When setting up your batlefeld, make sure there is quite a lot of terrain thatthe Vindicare could be higing in — rocky. outcrops, abandoned Watchtower, ruined buldings, tall trees and so on. The ‘Assassin player does not place ‘2 miniature on the tabetop to begin with, but instead writes down the whereabouts of the Assassin's hiding place. The ‘opposing player has 750-1,000 points worth of units tying to ‘advance across the bated Play as normal, except that whenever the Assassin player wants to check line of sight a target, thei opponents obliged to tum away, its a good idea for the Assassin's poston to give him aline of sight over many of the obstacles on the tabletop, 0 that i sn to easy 0 work fut where he is hiding. Also ‘ote that the Assassin is allowed to change positon 2s wall - as long as he doesn't move within 2" of an enemy, then his location remains secret; ust note down a new hiding place within 6 of the last and remember that his exitus ele is Heavy 1. ‘The only way the enemy army can find the Assassin isto be witin 2° Cf his hiding place at the end of a tum, When this happens, the ‘Assassin is placed on the batlefild ~ i then becomes a fight to the death! This is @ highiy entertaining battle, as the Assassin sneaks ‘about from vantage point to vantage point, while the oppasing player ‘desperately ties to look back along lines of fre to determine the ‘Assassin's poston, and his unts lose men and get pinned in place, disrupting the search, ‘Jerome the Unsaintly omclpeteeieet er ee eet rer err ety a Ct a ern the Fates Temple wee on f the ers ree erty een oeereen vbr fymas desing hs ily pacers ‘An Eversor Assassin has been dispatched to assault an enemy ‘command post and destroy anything it comes across. This game works well as a two-player game, but can be played solo as, well. The command post is represented by floorplans (Space Hulk boards are ideal), which are laid out atthe start ofthe game, With two players, the detending layer picks an army of 750-1,000 poins and ‘assigns a unit to each room of the command post, These units are not placed on the table, and may do noting until the Assassin enters the oom ora friendly model, which has encountered the Assassin, enters the room. In addition, at the end of any tum in which there was. Oo 9 or close combat, the defending player may roll a DS for any unit in a room adjacent to the one in which the combat/shooting took place. On a roll at 4,5 or 6 they are alerted by the sounds of combat ‘and are placed on the table at the stat of their next tum. Defenders ‘who are broken fallback towards the nearest rendly-occupied room, ‘As a solo game, the Assassin player must pick the defending army, and when units would be placed on the table, randomly generate which ofthe units appears. You'l have to use abit of common sense ‘when controling the defenders, Basically, mast squads wll attempt to stand and shoot al the Assassin, Close combat experts, such as Orks or Datk Eldar Wyches for example, wil ry to assault the Assassin An enemy army has unwittingly invaded a world usod by ‘one of the Officio Assassinorum Temples as a training ground. They suddenly find themselves beset by a veritable army of Assassins! This is a pretty simple but fun bale, The Assassin player only ever Uusos one Assassin al a time, but every time the Assassin is klle, another takes their place. You should nominate a feature on the tabletop to be the entrance to the Temple's hidden complex = the ‘Assassins must prevent any enemy model moving nto contact with the tenirance. Keep track of the number of Assassins killed, then swap sides with your opponent to see if they can do beter! COVERT OPERATIONS ‘The majorty of the time, an Assassin wil work alone. Occasional, however, teams of Assassins are dispatched, oran Assassin may find him or herself fighting alongside other miltary forces (as in the ‘Assassination! Mission given later) Not ony that, but Assassins do not just fight alongside Imperial forces. In the Imperium’s history there have been many occasions when it was deemed better to aid one enemy force over another, forthe long term benefit of humanity. For ‘example, consider two Ork warbands fighting over a word near to Imperial space. The winner ofthe war wil then unite the survivors and possibly attack Imperial worlds. In these circumstances it may be betterfora few covert Imperial agents o support the weaker of the two factions, which wil then have a two-fold effect. Fist, the war wil ast longer, thereby seeing the deaths of more Orks. Secondly, a weaker Warboss is more likely to spend time consolidating his grip_on the world, fighting usurpers within own his ranks and so on, The Imperial agents may even change sides, thereby ensuring that no side claims a great victory, and posiponing the potential invasion almost indefinitely. ‘What this bolls down fo, isthe fact that it ist totaly unreasonable for an Assassin to fight alongside an Ork or Eldar army. However, Id stongly recommend thatthe Assassin is played by a separate player, and thatthe Assassin be iven very strict mission guidelines which do ‘not necessaily beneft the ‘allie player al the time. The idea here is to make sure that the main army commander isnot ditecly controling the Assassins actions. You can also do ths in @ regular army (say Imperial Guard or Space Marines) with the Assassin really fighting ‘alongside the army for their own ends, rather than to help out the force ‘commander, There are a number of ways of doing this. As mentioned ‘above, you could have a different player using the Assassin, who sels themselves a mission which they must achieve (such as kiling the ‘enemy commander or destroying a set points value of unt, et). ‘Alternatively, you could say that the Assassin has fo attack the most expensive enemy character model (or best psyker in the case of a Ciulexus) and once that characteris dead, the Assassin's mission is complete and they vanish from view, never to be seen again. Another possibil is to keep track ofthe number of victory points Scored by the Assassin. At the end of the Assassin's tum, dvde tis vicioy poin's by 100 and deduct from the roll ofa D6. On a scare of O or less, the Assassin decides they have done enough and leaves! Well, those are just a few ideas off the top of my head. Im sure that you'e inventive enough to come up wth lots more have a look atthe Assassin mission in White Dwar! 232's Chapter Approved)Gaming with Assassins See Me ea Ra Ce ek an Rn ‘Thus spake the almighty Emperor on the sunait of Moust PC Une ee eee Ce ee eens ee ee eee eas Cr ees ee eee accomplished inthe art of death wee they.

SCENARIO SPECIAL RULES Assassination! uses the Victory Points and Infitrators scenario special rules. SET-UP Both players roll a dice. The highest scoring player may choose their deployment zone. They may choose a long table edge, short table edge or | comer. The other player deploys along the opposite edge or corner. The attacking player deploys all of their army up to 12" onto the table. The defending SHORT TABLE EDGE player then deploys his army up to 12° from the opposite edge or corner. Infiltrators are deployed after all other units have been placed on the table, anywhere not within 18” of an enemy model. If both sides have LONG TABLE EDGE ‘CORNER infiltrating units, each player rolls a dice, the highest scoring player can decide whether to deploy their infiltrators first or second. 3 The attacker has the first turn MISSION OBJECTIVE The Assassin must eliminate the enemy character with the highest points value (the defender must declare which model it is!), and survive to the end of the battle. It the Assassin has not killed its target by the end of the game, then the defenders win outright. If the Assassin's target is killed and the Assassin is still alive at the end of the battle, then the attacker wins. If the target is eliminated and the Assassin has also been killed, then use victory points to determine the winner, but do not count victory points for the Assassin or their target (Le. only other units count towards victory points). RESERVES None. GAME LENGTH The game lasts 6 turns. LINE OF RETREAT Units which are forced to fall back will do so towards the nearest board edge of their deployment zone, using the normal fall back rules.IY Chae en keene nec oR eae ibacdar ie eRe aoc rem Sicris was set up at my own instigation, following my investigations ‘ato the supposed death of the Grind Master of Assists, uring the conflict kaowa as the!
