Sounds like fun!
We'll I'm 2 missions in with the 3rd to play this week. If anyone's interested, I'll post the mission briefings as well as the debriefs.
Some background on the campaign...
"Darius Helix was a bio-engineer working with the Imperium. A brilliant exo-biologist and superb geneticist, he was sanctioned by the Inquisition to conduct classified research into the structure of Genestealers with the express aim of developing an anti-gene that would prevent infection by the terrible Genestealer plague.
In the course of his research on the hive world of Necromunda, he accidentally became infected by one of the genetic materials he was trying to neutralise. The Genestealer plasm began to work on his mind and body, and soon after his infection he became aware of changes within himself. By the time he realised what was happening, it was too late.
Desperate, he attempted to administer his own untested anti-gene before the Genestealer virus gripped him completely, but it was hopeless. The infection altered the balance of his mind and within a few days he left Necromunda after destroying his laboratory along with all of his notes and experimental work.
The Inquisition quickly noticed Helix's unscheduled departure from Necromunda and discovered what had happened. They realised that not only was Helix now a dangerous heretic who carried crucial information on the development of the anti-gene, but also the secrets of the Imperium itself. Desperate to locate him, they launched an all out search for the missing geneticist.
They picked up his trail and after several weeks tracked him down to the Beta Magellan Sector of the galaxy, a troublesome area frequently cut off by warp storms and a haven for pirates and other fugitives from Imperial justice. In addition, elements of the Relictors chapter of Space Marines, a chapter who is believed to have turned to the ruinous forces of Chaos, is known to frequent this part of the galaxy searching for Chaotic weapons and technology.
Rumours and other information picked up on the way convinced his pursuers of the extreme danger Helix could cause the Imperium.
Finally they made a breakthrough. A message was intercepted that appeared to originate from a Genestealer Magus sent to a hidden receiving station. the message spoke of the transfer of an important passenger at a way station called Terifus on the edge of Beta Magellan.
A number of small strike forces from the Blood Angels, Ultramarines, Imperial Fist, Salamanders and Raven Guard chapters were immediately dispatched to Terifus in an attempt to locate and intercept Helix."
Mission 1:
"Marine teams must obtain information regarding the whereabouts of Helix. Marine teams are ordered to assault the alien space station Terifus and interface with the station's mainframe computer. The Primary Mission token will be won by the player who successfully accesses the computer."
