Sub-Plots2

The brotherhood keeps a tally of the warp-born it has sent screaming back into the immaterium, and the Ordo Malleus keeps count with it. This sub-plot advances as your gang banishes or takes Out of Action DAEMON and PSYKER fighters across the campaign; each time the running total crosses a declared threshold, the tally is struck and the reward claimed.

REWARD. The Ordo Malleus acknowledges the purge. One of your fighters gains a founding Sanctic power for free, or the gang unlocks a one-off free requisition of a Strike or Terminator brother for its next battle. The reward may be claimed once each time the threshold is crossed, so a brotherhood that hunts relentlessly is rewarded again and again for the count it keeps.

The measure of the brotherhood is not how many it kills but how many it keeps. This sub-plot is completed when your gang comes through a full campaign phase without a single founding brother — a fighter present at the campaign's start — taken permanently Out of Action. For the irreplaceable few, an unbroken phase is a victory in its own right.

REWARD. The Chapter Keep honours the vigil. The gang gains a permanent point of Reputation, or one surviving founding brother may take an out-of-sequence advance, tempered by a phase of war survived intact. The reward may be claimed once for each phase the brotherhood comes through unbroken — a standing incentive to protect the veterans rather than spend them.
