Sub-Plots2

Trigger. At the start of the campaign your Kill Team declares a xenos quarry — a specific enemy faction or keyword it will hunt across the season. The sub-plot resolves when you have taken fighters of the declared quarry Out of Action in three separate battles, tracking the prey from world to world until the vigil is kept.

Reward. The vigil is kept, and the requisition armoury deepens. Your gang gains a permanent reputation bonus, and for the rest of the campaign every Veteran may load a second special-issue round and switch between the two freely in battle — the rarer rounds of the Ordo Xenos catalogue unlocked by a proven hunt. This sub-plot can be claimed only once per campaign.

Trigger. Your gang must field a Black Shield and keep it alive across the campaign. The sub-plot resolves when the Black Shield has personally taken a declared prey Out of Action in three separate battles without itself being taken Out of Action in any of them — the unknown veteran proving his worth without ever proving his name.

Reward. The debt is answered. The Black Shield earns a free Legendary Name, and your gang gains a permanent reputation bonus as the sector comes to know the black-shielded hunter it will never be able to name. Should the Black Shield fall before the oath is kept, the sub-plot is lost and may not be re-attempted with the same fighter. Claimable once per campaign.
