Thin The Brood
Two gangs are engaged in trying to secure as many kills of the Malstrain forces as they can in order to claim victory. As such each gang earns Victory points for Roaming Horrors destroyed: 1 VP for each Malstrain Tyramite or Brood Scum taken Out of Action, and 3 VP for each Malstrain Genestealer taken Out of Action. Any Leaders or Primes taken Out of Action are worth an extra 1 VP each.
Spawn Points
After the battlefield has been set up, starting with the winner of a roll-off, each player takes it in turn to place 3 Spawn Points anywhere on the battlefield, at least 9" away from any battlefield edge and at least 12" away from another Spawn Point. The Spawn Points are then each assigned a number from 1 to 3.
Roaming Horrors
Starting in the first round, Roaming Horrors are generated as described on page 82. Once they have been generated, the player with Priority rolls a D3 and places them all as close to the Spawn Point with the corresponding number as possible, at least 1" away from other fighters.
Fleeing The Battlefield
If either gang voluntarily bottles out and subsequently flees the battlefield, their opponent automatically wins the scenario.
