[Ep 1] GAME 1: Shadows Born of Light | Warhammer 40K Narrative Campaign
Episode 1: Fire That Pierces the Veil
NOTE: This game was filmed BEFORE the 2024 Kill Team balance dataslate.
ERROR: The Infiltrator Commsman's Comms Array action should have been taken immediately. And no kind of moves should be part of it. My bad.
Michal, the humble Chapter Serf, but also the Hierophant of Repentance’s Master of Whispers, held suspicions about Archbishop Zephanius and has begun investigating dark rumors in the alleys of Void Station Sheol. But when the darkness seeks to halt his investigation, Lord Chaplain Exantis orders the deployment of a Phobos Strike Team to rescue Michal. Enemy contact is a certainty. But what foe awaits them?
In this very first game of Shadows Born of Light, Squad Lothair must find and rescue Michal before the threat consumes them. Yet they cannot marshal the overwhelming might of the Fighting Company just yet, and so we will be playing a Kill Team game to decide their fate. Can the strike team make it out alive?

Is that even possible?! Actually yes. In this video, we'll take a look at Goonhammer's fan-made supplement called Fury of the Swarm. It's an extensive rules set that pits an "NPC" Tyranid force against the players. You can play it co-op with friends, or play solo if nobody around you knows 40k. Watch this video to find out how to do that! Credits to Goonhammer for creating this! Link here: www....

Warhammer 40k Crusade Guide: How to Play for Beginners
Fantastic work. Immediately subscribed!
Thank you!
Now this is how you get hype for a narrative game, awesome work mate looking forward to this.
Thank you! Episode 2 will be up sometime next week
Fantastic work on the story so far. I’m just about to start my own campaign with a friend of mine. It’s going to be a vs campaign T-Sons vs Necrons. You’ve given a lot of ideas and motivation for how we’re going to go about it. Keep up the good work
Hope you guys have fun!
Love the Narrative writing and cinematography! Also if you would like any voice actors, I have done voice acting in the past and have a voice that fits some of your characters. Feel free to reach out or if you post a casting call I’ll be there
Also I loved your post action ramble it was great to get insight into your process!
Hey thanks! Good to meet you, let's get in touch! I will be planning for the next narrative campaign in the coming months, would love to find voice actors for it. Drop me an email at the.crusadehouse@gmail.com
Looking forward to it mate 👍
The Prologue and Ep 1 are up already. Ep 2 is on the way!
I played a scenario from this with my gf and a mate. We took 1000pts each (Marines/Sisters/Admech), and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We ended up facing a force 25% bigger than our own (as is standard with these scenarios), and because I own a huge amount of endless multitudes, most of our kills kept coming back next turn. This made the game delightfully tense and cinematic, as we were fighting tooth and nail to take and hold objectives without drowning under the xenos tide. ❤
Makes it really feel like you're making a stand against the overwhelming horde, just like what we read about in the lore. Glad you both enjoyed this mode!
Awesome game. Would LOVE an Orks crusade rules review next. A group of us is just getting into crusade and this channel rocks.
It's on the way! How many of you are playing Orks?
Me and a few of my friends are planning a crusade so its good that i found this video
That’s awesome. Hope you guys have a fun campaign.
Just found you and really love this format and presentation! I hope to see more of it.
Hey, thank you for stopping by! More will be on the way.
You should be working on the 40k tv show with your understanding of writing and the setting!
Please notice me, Henry Cavil 🙏
Really looking forward to the next episode! Wonderfully made video here!
Thank you!
This is dope AF!
Thank you!
Really really good. I love it. Makes me want to do my own
Go for it! I definitely intend to do a video about writing narratives one of these days. It's actually 50% science, so even those who don't feel they are creative can write a good narrative.
To be honest I think the sound effects can be toned down, the marine steps are cool once or twice, but every time it gets annoying quick, and as much as I love Dawn of War the voicelines are a bit unecessary if it makes editing quicker
That's good feedback! It'll definitely help for Ep2, since it's still in the editing stage. Good to hear opinions about it.
Real nice
Thank you!
Love the story can't wait for ep 2
Thanks!
This was fantastic, thoroughly excited for more!!
Thank you! More on the way.
This was very well done, can't wait to see more.
Thank you!
Very cool presentation and narrative, I may not care for the game these days, but I'll always pull up a seat when someone's putting on a good show. I've subbed and am looking forward to more!
Thanks!
Great video 👍
Thank you!
I thoroughly enjoy the work and effort put into this. Putting the action taken on the screen was brilliant and saved you time without needing to cut movement. The in-depth story was good. Good job! I'll be waiting for more.
Thank you! XCOM was actually a big inspiration for the way actions were taken. Kill Team reminded me so much of that game, so I thought I'd borrow some of the gameplay experience for this battle report.
First of all sorry for my bad english, it is not my first language: Second nice video, the sound effects are really enjoyable and make the game section alive. Keep going, i'm waiting the next episode
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Never listened to a narrative campaign before, but the editing and story got me hooked!
Thank you!
That was really good. I actually like the AI voices. You're doing a great job with the tools at your disposal.
Thanks for that!
This is truly epic! I wish I had the creativity to make stuff like this for my 40k campaigns.
You can! Writing for narrative is actually 50% creativity, 50% science. I am definitely keen to do a video purely about writing narratives one of these days. It's a really deep, but systematic process.
@@CrusadeHouse Oh great. So, I need science as well! Those are the two things I'm terrible at. I think a video on narrative writing would be really cool.
The battle report is very nice and well edited, I would just say that the activation sound is a bit too loud and very repetitive. The narration is perfect ^^ Can't wait for the next episode !
Thank you! That's a good note for next time. I'll keep that in mind when editing the next episode.
Digging the atmosphere. Looking forward to more.
Thanks!
This was freaking fantastic. AI voices were great. You have to work with the resources you've got. Looking forward to more.
Was waiting for the chaplain to have a biting retort about governing. "I may not know much about governing, but I am a master of war and that's what you have on your hands now."
I might do a scriptwriting breakdown of these scenes one of these days. It'll be fun to explain how I write each of the characters' lines and what they are trying to convey. Perhaps I'll do that midway through the series :)
The storytelling is really good
Thank you!
This was fun! I’m excited to see how the campaign unfolds!
Thanks!
Both episodes are amazing brother ! Can’t wait to see more! May the emperor offer you his blessing 🫵.
I thank thee! May the light of the Throne ever usher us to glory.
Amazing start! The swarm steps out of the shadows! 🎉 I agree that AI voices aren't the best, but we can respect that you're working alone.
Thanks! One day, I will have voice actors come on for these narratives to bring the full depth to the characters.
Very cool narrative game. The one thing I would say is that the sound effect you use on the token/order placement is a little grating for something that happens quite a lot. Maybe a softer click noise would be better. Other than that though, loved it and can't wait till the next one!
Thanks for the feedback! I'll take note of that for the next episode.
Honestly felt like I was listening to an actual Black Library audio book. The voice acting, especially the narrator and the Marines, was excellent. Can't wait for the first game!
Thanks for that! It was important to me to have multiple voices for the whole cast.
What a nice introduction, so evocative ! Promises a great story to come!
Thanks!
Can’t wait to see how this will all play out.
"Only in shining light can thou witness darkest shadow"
THIS MAN COOKED
Several months in the making. Thanks for watching!
@@CrusadeHouse it's done well all I really have to say is the action audio was a tad loud but other than that i thought it was really done amazing
@@quentinsuarez4544 Thanks! Good to hear feedback about it.
"The closest most expensive unit" Meaning straight for the most expensive unit? Or does that mean the closest unit and choosing the most expensive to break ties?
It will check for the closest, breaking ties by the most expensive and eligible unit. So for example Zoanthropes. If you had a 150pts infantry unit in front, a 180pt tank in the middle, and a 350pt Knight out of range at the back, they would shoot the tank. They won’t go out of their way to attack something further back if there’s a suitable target in front of them.
@@CrusadeHouse cool. I think i played it right, but this is fun. Tbh 40k is not so hard to create custom game modes for! Thank you for spreading the word on co op / single player modes!
@@iandestroyerofworlds576 No problems! Glad you enjoyed the concept.
I'm so hyped.
Stay tuned for more!
Looks like a great excuse to test out updated boarding action when it drops. Looking forward to it.
Definitely will. Sadly the first few episodes were filmed using the Boarding Actions index rules. But the final few episodes haven’t been filmed yet, so the new BA rules might just release in time for that.
@@CrusadeHouse Oh I had figured ad much and I'm certainly not knocking you for it. In fact, it will provide an interesting comparison for improvements the official rules bring and their support for crusade vs the index rules. Should be fun.
@@GrimDorks Definitely will be. Hopefully it releases sometime this year so I can use it before the series ends.

Thank you 🫡
Looks cool! Happy to help the engagement metrics 😊
Thank you! The algorithm gods will be pleased.
This looks cool as fuck
Thanks!
can we run a crusade with 2 people?
Yes, it’s possible. Although it may get a little stale after a while.
