For this mission I created a set of alternate win conditions for each army. These win conditions would allow them to claim a victory even if they lost the actual mission.
I wanted the win condition for the Dark Angels to be something related to intelligence gathering and I wanted the Orks to have one that seemed appropriate. The Orks don't care about the Fallen at all, so their motivations were harder for me to explore.
Without further ado, here are the briefs.
Hunt
for the Brothers of the Skull
Player Briefing for Dark Angels:
Inner Circle
-Intelligence gathered from captured Word Bearer Clabrus following actions against the Traitor Legion known as the Iron Warriors has led theInner Circle
Franke-7 has long been a contested world in Imperial space. No longer rich in resources, the system itself offers little to the Imperium. Orks have long infested the 7th planet in the system. It is unknown at this time why the Brothers of the Skull are present on the planet but The Fallen are never to be underestimated and no doubt are there for some nefarious purpose.
Other Space Marine Chapters have recently attempted to retake Franke-7. Elements of both the Ultramarines and Crimson Fists chapters are still present on the surface. TheInner
Circle
Your task force will engage the Orks in the area where we know the Brothers of the Skull are currently located. To the other chapters this will appear as nothing more than the efforts of the Unforgiven to engage the Orks so that our brother chapters may regroup and recover.

Your mission:
It’s not enough to capture the Brothers of the Skull in combat. Even now the intelligence gathered from the Heretic Clabrus is almost useless. The Unforgiven need immediate intelligence that can be acted on by the Ravenwing in order to finally hunt down Cypher and bring him to justice. Field Interromancy is required and any information gleaned from any Fallen is to be immediately relayed to the Ravenwing elements on standby so that it can be acted on without delay.
Secret Win condition:
Successfully manifest “Mind Worm” on a Fallen. If this is done, then you will be considered to have won this mission even if the actual mission is failed. Remember that in Narrative Play you are allowed to attempt the same Psychic Power more than once per turn. Note down secretly if this has successfully been accomplished.
Secret Loss condition:
Fail to kill at least two Fallen. If you fail to kill at least two Fallen, then you will be considered to have lost this mission UNLESS you win as detailed above or you win the actual mission. This is essentially a tie breaker in the case of a draw on the actual mission itself.

And here is the player brief for the Ork Player:
Kill Da Humies
Player briefing for the Orks
Oi, ‘ere is duh mishun! SMASH DEM. SMASH DEM ALL!
Dis place has been owned by Orks forever and we like it here cos’ dis is a place where young ‘uns can come and learn how to kill humies. Even da pointy eared ones are afraid to come down ‘ere now! But a while back some humies, Black boyz we calls ‘em, showed up. We was ready to fight them, too, but dey wanted to kill humies, too and dey had gifts for da warbosses. We didn’t like that, but da warbosses liked it so now we don’t pay ‘em no mind. That lot mostly just digs around in the dirt an’ ruins of dis place. When we find other humies and the Black boyz is nearby, they help us kill the humies.
Lately the humies sent some Blue boyz to help out the Red Fist Boyz that had tried to take what belongs now to the Orks. Most of that lot was sent packing back to their ships, but some ‘ave held out and they is good fighting for sure, Space Marines always fight harder when they is losing. Every lad ‘ere knows that on Franke-7 they is always losing.
If these Green boyz save the Blue Boyz and the Red Fist boyz, then there will be no more fighting for a while and then the lads will get really sad. Can’t have that, can we?
YourMission :
The warbosses in charge of Franke-7 tolerate the presence of the Brothers of the Skull but that doesn’t mean you have to like it. But then they did give you some nice gifts and the humies really seem to get really excited when they’re around and that makes it more fun for fighting them. You’re pretty sure that there’s good loot around here and there’s nothing like treasure hunting while fighting! But you need lads to help dig up the loot.
Secret Win condition:
If you control an objective with both a character and a mob of boyz during either player’s turn, note that down secretly. At the end of the game roll a die, if your roll is less than the number of objectives you controlled this way you will be considered to have won, even if you lose the actual mission. This roll is made after the game has concluded, so it cannot be re-rolled by Command Points.
Secret Loss condition:
If the Fallen haven’t killed at least one enemy model, you lose this mission UNLESS you win as detailed above or you win the actual mission. This is essentially a tiebreaker in the case of a draw for the actual mission.
