NARRATIVE STORY
Welcome to Talos IV, a remote planet on the eastern fringe of the galaxy barely capable of supporting life. The sparse inhabitants refer to themselves as the cursed, as life on this planet is brutal and unforgiving. Littered across the surface are the ruins of several races that have all laid claim to Talos at one point in its past.
For the past decade, it has also been the location of a massive archaeological excavation near the equator. It employs legions of thralls being pushed ever harder to dig deeper and dig faster. Finally, something has been found. A fragment of the KEY. The central focus of Vastor and Abbadon’s campaign of destruction. A mysterious weapon of such unimaginable power, that it would allow its wielder to change the fate of the galaxy.
More story details to be revealed at GCC 2023!
TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE
This will be a 2000 points match play structure using the arks of omen GT army construction rules. We will not be using any of the secondaries from that as all the secondary missions will be custom.
WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) is highly, highly encouraged. Models must be painted to a 3 colour minimum. Let’s make it easy for each other.
No depictions of hate speech or intolerance. Counts as models are okay, proxies are not ( e.g. a lovingly converted gundam model with appropriate weapons and scaling as a wraithknight is a counts as and is okay, whereas an unconverted and un-hobbied upon McFarland marine as a knight castellan is not. If in doubt contact us at [email protected])
All players are divided into two teams. It doesn’t matter what faction you choose, either can go on either team.
Each team is led by a captain from the Play On Tabletop team that will be their “narrator”.
Missions are unique across tables
Not points based. Major win/ minor win.
Custom Secondaries.
Each game will have interactions with other tables. Game masters facilitating interactions.
