Imperial Guard Original Background

Inquisitor Garlex Ebtetie of the Imperial Guard

Rising through the ranks of the Cult of The Emperor from a young age, you have given your life to the Worship of The Emperor. You’ve impressed religious leaders throughout and have finally fulfilled your dreams and been granted the rank of Inquisitor. An inquisitor’s job is to ensure that the Emperor is worshipped in the correct way throughout The Universe. Any deviation from correct worship must be punished in the most severe way, to ensure others don’t slip along the path towards heresy.

It is always disappointing to learn of a Space Marine Chapter that has slipped from the true path, but it never comes as a surprise. You have learnt that a chapter of Space Marines working in the Mordant Zone have been worshipping the Emperor’s Birthday on the wrong day of the week. Such a terrible crime must be punished severely, and so you have set out to wreak revenge. You have learned that part of the chapter has been dispatched to the distant planet of Ervinrud. Perhaps destroying them will teach a valuable lesson. You have commandeered an Imperial Guard battalion to do the job and set off in pursuit. But there are many other foes here and perhaps they could also do with a lesson in the true way.

Starting Point

You’ve fortified a position deep in the desert. Out here there is nothing to look at, which will help your men concentrate on their devotion to The Emperor when they aren’t on duty.

Special Victory Conditions

If at the end of the six weeks, the Space Marine Battle Force has less than 500 points left, you will be awarded 500 bonus points.

It is always good to build a shrine to The Emperor. If you can control any other player’s base for the last two weeks of the campaign, your men will be able to construct a shrine there and teach the infidels the true way. That’ll gain you 250 points.
