The Bunker campaign moves into its second phase and repeats the additions that allow Combat Patrol and painting to contribute to a team’s progress. Lyle’s Tyranid patrol doubles as the nucleus of a Crusade force, illustrating how one small collection can serve several formats. The rules retain separate personal rewards even when teammates fight each other, while reserving campaign points for battles against rival teams.

The Imperial defenders finish the first Bastior phase ahead despite individual defeats and strong invading armies. Player diaries trace Dan’s Mechanicus learning to hold back and use Protector firepower, Matt’s expanding Telennar collection and Wade’s effective Flesh Tearers veterans. Three awarded relics offer a stronger grenade burst, steadier battle-shock tests or a temporary surge of resilience before the team scores reset for phase two.
