Battle for control of the Twisted Reach and secure victory for your teammates at our Maelstrom event series!
We'll be hosting three narrative events for Warhammer 40k themed around the recently released Maelstrom lore, the first of which will be on March 21st at 12pm. Players will choose a team when signing up, and can fight to earn points for their team at any of our Maelstrom events. The story will be impacted by which team secures victory at each event.
Each event will be one round, and the format for this event will be 2000pt, three-player battles. In the event of an uneven number of players, some tables may instead play a 2v2 match. The winning team of each event will earn store credit based on the number of participants. We'll also have additional prizing after the conclusion of the event series for the team with the most points through the entire Maelstrom campaign.
The teams you can sign up for are the Gatebreakers, Desecrators, and the Marauders. The Gatebreakers are fighting to secure a path through the Maelstrom that can be used to bring resources and glory to their factions. The Desecrators believe the Maw is home to untold treasure, and they will be the ones to claim the great prize. The Marauders are the piratical residents of the Dread Reach, seeking to destroy all outsiders who seek to lay claim to what is theirs.
Here's a glimpse at the story of the first event:
All of you find yourselves in The Howling Gyre on the planet Nadirus 234: Equinoctis. Otherwise known as The Null Bastion, this lone planet might seem like a barren wasteland. Each of you came on one ship, with word that you will only receive backup IF your superiors deem it necessary. You either come back a hero or not at all. You will form alliances where you once thought impossible; you will fight to you last unit falls. Most importantly, your actions will have lasting consequences in the coming battles. Fight well, soldiers.
Please note that while you may sign up for any team, some players will likely be asked to switch teams closer to the time of the event in order to ensure team sizes are even.
We will have a cap of 12 players for this event.
