Narrative Variant

The Fall Of Sump City​

If players wish, they may use this scenario to represent the fall of Sump City as the Eschers and their allies fight for Sump City against Chaos cultists, corrupted gangs and the beasts of the underhive. Eventually, they are forced to escape onto waiting boats and set off charges in the city’s foundations to sink it.

In order to do this, make the following changes:

Endless Hordes​

In each End phase, any of the attacker’s Gangers, Juves or Exotic Beasts that have been taken Out of Action return to the battlefield by being placed in base contact with the attacker’s board edge.
