“The Battle of Port Maw was heralded by the treachery of the stations Archmagos. Igniting the Mechanicum Panopticon with a deafening binaric signal that blinded the Loyalist fleets to the attack. Planet side, the battle for the Panopticon began, a desperate rush to silence the interference and put down the insurrection…”
The Event
A one-day doubles narrative event. The day will consist of 2 bespoke, narrative driven missions, pitching the Traitor Legions and their Allies against the Loyalists forces.
6 Teams will wage war across 3 tables. The Loyalists fighting to retain control of Port Maw while a massive fleet battle rages above.
2 single player games will run concurrently with the double’s games. Events in these games will have an impact on the double’s missions.
This is not a competitive event, the expectation is lists will be created in a narrative style. There may be individual prizes for strange occurrences or achievements. But there are no personal awards for winning the most games or scoring the most victory points. Games will initially be fought against random opponents from the opposite faction, with game results and variation of forces deciding further match ups. The outcome of each game will influence the final round and which faction wins the day.
There will be a prize for the “Rule of Cool” – Best Warlord Duo. Voted for by the players. The Singles players can also enter this with up to 2 of their HQ units each.
