 Welcome to the Kill Team: Ashes of Faith Campaign Rulebook
- a unique expansion for Kill Team.

This volume tells the story of the blighted world of Exhalus,

2 a planet in the Segmentum Tempestus that lies terrifyingly
close to the hellish warp rift known as the Siren's Storm. In
the waning years of the 41st Millennium, Exhalus and many
worlds around it have been subject to countless horrors
stemming from the newly formed tempest. The Siren's Storm
- a breach in reality where the space-and-time-bending
energies of the immaterium spill over into realspace - fills
Exhalus' skies, and to look upon the rift invites madness,
or worse.

Exhalus has been subjected to years of war following the

brutal emergence of the Siren's Storm, but through the
savagely oppressive methods of the planet's ruling authorities,
has reached some semblance of stability. Its trials and
tribulations are only just beginning, however. A Cult stirs on
Exhalus, sensing weakness and growing in power as waves
of warp energies wash over the planet. The leaders of this
heinous collective are devoted to the Chaos Gods, and wish to
enact a ritual to bind daemonic entities - the soul-hungering
denizens of the warp - with Human hosts.

For those loyal to the Imperium, this evil cannot be allowed.

An Inquisitor - a powerful instrument of the Emperor -
operating in the region has ordered a team of their elite
Agents to Exhalus to root out the Cult and destroy it. They are
accompanied by seasoned Tempestus Scions and unsettling
Sisters of Silence. Possessing a vast array of powerful wargear
and superb skills, these elite warriors are ruthless when
dealing with the enemies of Mankind, and will not stop until
the Cult is eliminated. What comes now is a covert war of
zealots - those dedicated to the malign Chaos Gods against
those devoted to the Emperor of Mankind.

Beyond a compelling background story, this book also

contains all the rules you need to play out the conflict
between two rival factions for the fate of Exhalus. Both players
will take command of a side and fight missions in a map-and-
card-based campaign to see the Agents of the Inquisition
attempt to purge the insidious Chaos worshippers from
the city of Deepwell. Not only can you vie for vital territory,
you can also interact with the down-trodden citizens of
Exhalus; persuade them to join your side or conduct secretive
investigations to gather clues and further your faction's plans.
Whatever you decide to do, a campaign of sinister intrigue
and ferocious combat awaits!

reverberations spread all the way to the outer dark. Warp rifts were wrenched open spontaneously in dozens of
locations, ripping apart entire systems. Few Imperial worlds were left unscathed, and Exhalus was no exception.

be investigated once, so once a
player does so, their opponent cannot
investigate that territory.

Conspirator Cards
Conspirator cards have a value of '1' and
are used with Scheme cards to increase the
bid in a territory. They have no effect on
their own - one of a player's Scheme cards
must be bid in the same territory for them
to contribute to a bid.

Ruse cards have a value of '0' and are used to deceive the
opponent when bidding. For example: BUSt HUSf

has a mission rule affecting an aspect of gameplay. As described in the Dominance stage (pg 16), Persuading

The dusty catacombs of Deepwell are a treasure trove of ancient relics, lost
