The following missions illustrate the different sorts of strategies used by Orks, and they will provide new tests of your tactical ability as a commander.
Sanctus Reach: The Red Waaagh! CampaignThis section includes several Warhammer 40,000 missions inspired by the pivotal battles of the Red Waaagh! These missions will provide players with new ways to use their armies and a wealth of new tactical options to master.
There are several ways in which you can use the Red Waaagh! missions. The most straightforward is to select the mission for a battle you are excited about from the campaign guide, and use the mission to recreate the battle on your tabletop! The Armies section of each scenario provides guidance on the forces present, while the mission’s special rules will ensure that all of the most important elements of the original battle will be recreated.Another way to use these missions is to fight a campaign by playing through the scenarios sequentially. If you do so, then one player should command the forces of the Orks in all of the battles, while their opponent commands the opposing side. Keep a note of each player’s wins and losses, and the winner of the campaign is the player with the highest number of victories once all of the missions have been completed. In a campaign, the winner of a named mission is granted a bonus when playing the next mission, as noted below. In the case of a draw, neither side gains a bonus in the next game. Finally, it is worth noting that you can use the missions using different armies from those that took part in the actual battle. With a little imagination and some minor modifications on your part, you can easily use them to fight battles with any combination of forces and terrain you have in your collection. The Red Waaagh! Campaign ChartThis section includes several Warhammer 40,000 missions inspired by the pivotal battles of the Red Waaagh! You can play through these missions in sequence to fight a thrilling campaign. If you do so, the victor of each mission will receive a bonus in the next mission of the campaign, as detailed on these pages. If a game is a draw, neither player receives a bonus in the next mission.№1

The Red Waaagh! Descends The Red Waaagh! has come to Alaric Prime as rust-ships filled with battle-hungry Orks descend from orbit on trails of fire, the greenskins eager to make planetfall and get stuck into the fight. Across the planet a network of fortified strongholds have been reinforced and garrisoned by the brave Imperial Guardsmen of Cadia. They stand as Alaric Prime’s first line of defence, ready to greet the Ork invaders with simple heroism and a deadly storm of firepower.
THE ARMIESChoose armies as described in Warhammer 40,000: The Rules. The Ork player’s army may only include units with the Orks Faction. They are the Attacker in this mission.

THE BATTLEFIELD The Imperial player can place up to eight fortifications anywhere on the table that is more than 6" from the centre of the table. They do not pay any points for these fortifications, and none start the game dilapidated. All buildings start the game claimed by the Imperial player. Once all fortifications have been placed, the Imperial player can then set up any other terrain on the table in a manner of his choosing, but may not place any terrain within 6" of the centre of the table. Objective Markers After terrain has been set up, the Imperial player must place an Objective Marker on the centre of the table. DEPLOYMENT The players must first determine their Warlord Traits and stratagems. Each player has 4 Stratagem Points. The Ork player selects any one table edge to be his.

All of the Ork player’s units start the game in Reserve (see the Mission Reserves rule, below).
FIRST TURN The Ork player has the first turn. GAME LENGTH This mission uses Variable Game Length. VICTORY CONDITIONS At the end of the game, the player who has scored the most Victory Points is the winner. If both players have the same number of Victory Points, the game is a draw. Primary Objective At the end of the game, the player who controls the Objective Marker scores 5 Victory Points. Secondary Objectives Slay the Warlord, First Blood. Firestorm*, Mysterious Objectives, Night Fighting, Planetary Assault, Scramble!, Shock Tactics.
* The Ork player rolls a D3 and adds the number of buildings that are on the table to the result. Each section of a multiple-part building counts as a separate building. The total is the number of Firestorm Attacks that the Ork player makes. №2

The River Runs RedThe onslaught continues and the Imperial Guard have fallen back to the fortifications guarding Boiling River’s main bridge-crossing. If they can hold the Orks here – a bottleneck where the xenos cannot bring their numbers to bear and where artillery can rain fire upon their close-packed ranks – they may yet buy time to organise an ordered withdrawal. However, the Orks have plenty of Weirdboyz and don’t plan to cross the bridge by conventional means…

Sanctus Reach: Stormclaw MissionsThis page includes several Warhammer 40,000 missions inspired by the pivotal battles of the Stormclaw campaign. All of the missions can be fought using just the miniatures provided with Sanctus Reach: Stormclaw, or can be expanded to use additional Citadel miniatures from your collection if you wish.There are several ways in which you can use the missions. The first is simply to select a particular mission you are excited about and fight it out using the Citadel miniatures provided with Sanctus Reach: Stormclaw. Another way to use these missions is to play a campaign. You can do this by simply playing through the missions sequentially. If you do so, keep a note of your cumulative Victory points, and the winner of the campaign is the player with the highest score. If you are playing a campaign, we suggest you maintain the same side (the Orks or the Space Wolves) throughout the course of the campaign, but upon its completion swap roles and see how much better (or worse) you fare when fighting for the other side. №1

GofftownThe Space Wolves finally reach Gofftown, an Ork settlement on the narrow southern headland of the island. The crude buildings are built from the ruins of Blistered Isle’s generatorum complex, and centred around a massive tellyporta pad. As acidic ocean weaves crash below, a storm breaks overhead that is so powerful it is bombarding the battlefield with crackling bolts of lightning. The scene is set for a titanic final battle between the two armies.
 One player commands the Space Wolves, the other the Orks. Each player takes one of the following Formations: Space Wolves Army • The Fierce-Eye’s Finest Ork Army • Grukk’s Rippin’ Krew THE BATTLEFIELD Use the deployment map included with this mission. Then, set up terrain as described in Warhammer 40,000: The Rules. DEPLOYMENT The Space Wolves player deploys his army first, using the deployment zone shown on map. The Ork player deploys second, in his deployment zone. FIRST TURN The Space Wolves player goes first unless the Ork player can Seize the Initiative. GAME LENGTH This mission uses Variable Game Length. VICTORY CONDITIONS At the end of the game, each player receives 1 Victory Point for each opposing unit that has been completely destroyed. The player who has scored the most Victory Points is the winner. If both players have the same number of Victory Points, the game is a draw. Units that are Falling Back at the end of the game, and units that are not on the board at the end of the game, count as destroyed for the purposes of this mission. Night Fighting. Sanctus Reach: Hour of the Wolf CampaignThis section includes several Warhammer 40,000 missions inspired by the pivotal battles of the Hour of the Wolf. These missions will provide players with new ways to use their armies and a wealth of new tactical options to master.
There are several ways in which you can use the Hour of the Wolf missions. The moststraightforward is to select the mission for a battle you are excited about from the campaign guide, and use the mission to recreate the battle on your tabletop! The Armies section of each mission provides guidance on the forces present, while the mission’s special rules will ensure that all of the most important elements of the original battle will be recreated. Another way to use these missions is to fight a campaign by playing through the missions sequentially. If you do so, then one player should command the forces of the Orks in the first eight battles, while their opponent commands the Imperial side. Keep a note of each player’s wins and losses, and the winner of the campaign is the player with the highest number of victories once all of the missions have been completed. Alternatively, you could play through a campaign and the winner of the final Orks vs. Imperium mission, the Battle of Scrap Peak, takes all. In either case, in a campaign, the winner of a named mission is granted a bonus when playing the next mission, as noted below. In the case of a draw, neither side gains a bonus in the next game. If you also have the first volume of the Sanctus Reach saga, the Red Waaagh!, you can even link the missions featured in both books to create an epic narrative campaign that comprises more than twenty missions! Finally, it is worth noting that you can use the missions using different armies from those that took part in the actual battle. With a little imagination and some minor modifications on your part, you can easily use them to fight battles with any combination of forces and terrain you have in your collection.

Saviours of Sacred MountainAll seems lost for the defenders of Alaric Prime. A vast Ork Waaagh! has smashed into the planet and drowned much of the Knight world beneath a tide of greenskins. The survivors make their last stand at Fortress Alaric, an ancient stronghold built into the sides of Sacred Mountain. Yet even here, in this seemingly impregnable haven, they are not safe. Ork ingenuity, combined with their lust for destruction, has seen them drag a vast meteor into a collision course with Sacred Mountain, resulting in cataclysmic damage and grievous casualties on both sides. As the dust from the impact begins to settle, the Orks mass for the final assault.
Yet all is not lost. Throughout the Imperium’s long history, Mankind’s darkest hour has become the Hour of the Wolf, where the Sons of Russ have descended upon trails of fire to bring death to those who would threaten the Allfather’s people. And so is the case on Alaric Prime as Drop Pods slam into the ruined flanks of Sacred Mountain, disgorging packs of howling Space Wolves itching to take the fight to the Ork hordes.  Choose armies as described in Warhammer 40,000: The Rules. The Imperial player is the Attacker in this mission, and must include Ragnar Blackmane in his army to be his Warlord.

Back from the BrinkBefore the sudden arrival of the Space Wolves, the Shadowsword Steel Cyclops had been positioned to defend the crucial drawbridge that led into the heart of Sacred Mountain. However, the earth-shattering impact of the comet badly damaged the bridge and left the giant war machine teetering on the precipice of the chasm below. Yet hope still remains for the Steel Cyclops – having smashed their way through the Orks to secure a foothold at the base of Sacred Mountain, the Space Wolves renew their attack without delay. Upon assessing the vital significance of the bridge – and the super-heavy asset imperiled atop its span – Logan Grimnar leads an elite force of Wolf Guard to reclaim it.
 Choose armies as described in Warhammer 40,000: The Rules. The Imperial player’s army must include Grimnar’s Kingsguard Formation. Logan Grimnar cannot be equipped with Stormrider, and must be the Warlord. The Imperial player’s army may only include units with the Space Wolves Faction. The Ork player’s army may only include units with the Orks Faction, and must include at least one unit of Meganobz. THE BATTLEFIELD Use the deployment map included in this mission. Set up terrain as described in Warhammer 40,000: The Rules, but ensure that no terrain is placed on the two areas representing the ‘Chasm’ (see map). You may find it convenient to mark the ‘Chasm’ itself with pieces of black paper. If either you or your opponent has a Shadowsword in your collection (failing that, any Baneblade variant will do), you should place it in the location shown on the deployment map. Objective Markers After setting up the terrain, place three Objective Markers in the locations shown on the deployment map. DEPLOYMENT Before any models are deployed, the Ork player should roll to determine his Warlord Traits. The Imperial player then deploys all units from Grimnar’s Kingsguard within the Imperial player’s Forward Deployment Zone (see map). His opponent then deploys his units within the Ork Deployment Zone (see map). Finally, the Imperial player deploys his remaining units within the Imperial player’s Rear Deployment Zone.
FIRST TURN The Ork player has the first turn unless the Imperial player can Seize the Initiative. GAME LENGTH This mission uses Variable Game Length. VICTORY CONDITIONS At the end of the game, the player who has scored the most Victory Points wins the game. If players have the same number of Victory Points, the game is a draw. Primary Objectives At the end of the game, each Objective Marker is worth 3 Victory Points to the player that controls it. If, at the end of the game, the Steel Cyclops has been completely destroyed, the Ork player receives 5 Victory Points. In any other situation, the Space Wolf player receives 5 Victory Points. Secondary Objectives First Blood, Linebreaker, Slay the Warlord. Mysterious Objectives, Reserves. The Steel Cyclops cannot move or fire any of its weapons. However, any Space Wolf models equipped with a power fist or chainfist that are in base contact with the Steel Cyclops at the start of the Imperial player’s Movement phase can attempt to haul the Shadowsword to safety. To do so, make a Strength test for each model attempting to move the Shadowsword. Each success enables the Imperial player to move the Steel Cyclops 1" in any direction (apart from towards the Chasm!), to a maximum of 6" each turn; move each model that made a Strength test along with the Steel Cyclops so that they remain in base contact with it (remember that you must also maintain Squad Coherency). These models count as having moved, but may Run, shoot or charge as normal. №3

The Fall of Mordred’s RidgeAs the Space Wolves continued to drive the Orks back from Sacred Mountain, they routed a vast greenskin horde, dislodging their hold on Mordred’s Ridge. A large force of Cadians and Imperial Knights soon moved up to reinforce and fortify the gains made by the rampaging Sons of Russ. Yet despite the resurgent armies of the Imperium driving the invaders back on all fronts, the Orks are far from defeated. Against all the odds, Grukk Face-rippa makes an unexpected and unceremonious return. Usurping control of the vast horde formerly belonging to the (very) recently deceased Goffboss Drogg, Grukk gathers all of the retreating greenskins in the local area to him and immediately leads them on the offensive once more. Thrown on the defensive by the sheer numbers of Orks converging on their position, the Imperial forces at Mordred’s Ridge fight a desperate battle to hold back the green tide.

The Sky HuntAs the Orks continue to drive the Imperial defenders back towards the stronghold of Fortress Alaric, Mogrok turns to his Flyboyz to spearhead the assault on Sacred Mountain. At the head of this vast wave of rusty aircraft are Skyboss Wingnutz and his notorious fighter skwadrons.

Ragnar’s FollyFollowing the resounding success of his grand offensive, Warlord Mogrok himself arrives to oversee the final destruction of the Imperium’s forces. Standing at the centre of his army, surrounded by thousands of his Boyz in every direction, Morgrok justifiably believes there to be no threat to his personal safety. The Ork Warlord, however, has sorely underestimated the audacity and courage of a certain young Wolf Lord…
Without warning, an impetuous Ragnar Blackmane leaps over the hastily prepared defences and leads a charge of his most hotheaded warriors straight into the heart of the massive Ork horde. But can his reckless assault actually break the Ork lines, or will Ragnar’s folly be consigned to history as a brave, but ultimately foolish, act of bravado?

Last Stand of the Young KingAfter his valiant charge leaves the Orks bereft of leadership – the Warlord, Mogrok, having fallen by his hand – Ragnar Blackmane now finds himself surrounded on all sides by a seemingly endless sea of greenskins. With only a handful of Blood Claws at his side, it seems that the reckless young Wolf Lord may, at last, have bitten off more than he can chew.
The Great Wolf, however, refuses to abandon his favoured son. Mustering a rapid-response strike force of indomitable Wolf Guard Terminators, Grimnar sends them forth by Stormwolf to buy Ragnar some time whilst he leads a more decisive counter-attack from Fortress Alaric.

The Great Wolf StrikesRagnar’s desperate predicament combined with his own desire to deal the Orks a blow from which they will not recover has galvanised the Great Wolf into action. As the ancient gates of Fortress Alaric swing open, Logan Grimnar surges forth upon Stormrider at the head of a host of Thunderwolf riders and an armoured spearhead of his kinsmen. With such a force at his disposal, Grimnar intends to smash the Ork host asunder and force a path towards Ragnar.

The Battle of Scrap PeakAfter the apparent death of Mogrok, the Orks fell into disarray. Infighting and confusion within the greenskin clans left them easy prey for the vengeful forces of the Imperium across Alaric Prime. One by one, the remaining bastions of Ork resistance were ruthlessly exterminated. All save one.
Scrap Peak has, until now at least, remained undetected. Here, the Orks have gathered in great strength, but perhaps the greatest threat is that Mogrok yet lives – his severed head having been grafted onto a new body by his Painboy’s ingenuity. Mogrok has taken command of his Waaagh! once more, and gathered the scattered tribes to Scrap Peak. It is here that Logan Grimnar must strike if he is to defeat the Ork menace on Alaric Prime once and for all.
