THE REALMGATE WARS

Sigmar has unleashed his fury. The storm has come and his legions have spread across the different realms, bringing lightning and death to the minions of Chaos. As the storm breaks, golden warriors battle to drive back the darkness in all corners of the Mortal Realms.

But the war has just begun, and any warrior can tip the balance for good or for ill.

JOINING A FACTIONTwo forces clash in the initial stages of Sigmar’s war to reclaim the Mortal Realms. On one side are the God-King Sigmar and his armies, loyal to a vision of a peaceful and orderly realm. On the other side are the barbaric legions of the Blood God Khorne, warriors who want nothing more than violence and carnage for their bloodthirsty deity. Once you choose your side, the die is cast and you will face off against players from the other faction over the weekend to see how the campaign progresses.

Please bear in mind that there are limited spaces on each faction, and we would ask that you be flexible on the weekend, just in case we need a few ‘traitors’ to charitably swap sides to even up the numbers. Sides are determined on a first come first served basis but we will always try to get everyone the side they prefer.

THE GAMESThe games themselves will change based on what table you play on during the weekend. Each table will be from a specific Realm and your models may be fighting through acid filled bog pools in the Realm of Life, the rune etched Garden of Pillars in the Realm of Metal or even worse. All of these unique places will have names and themes which directly affect your games, from tiles in the Realm of

Fire filling with destructive lava pools, or warriors rising from the dead in the Realm of Death to fight on after being cut down.

With many different realms, of infinite scope and potential, you can expect each game to be unique and fun to play.

ETERNAL VICTORIESWith the huge scope of the Realms, we in Warhammer World will be taking the opportunity to do something really special. Any results from the Campaign will be recorded and used as future material in other Campaigns. If the Crag of Eternal Torment is burned to ground, then a later Campaign may revolve around armies trying to take it back and rebuild it!

This makes our first Campaign extremely exciting, as anyone taking part will have the first chance to shape how Warhammer World runs it’s Campaigns for a long time to come!

CLAIMING VICTORYThe results of each game, victory or defeat, will inform the narrative of the next scenario you play – will the forces of Chaos be sent reeling by Sigmar’s initial assault, forcing them on the backfoot? Will Sigmar be rebuffed and be forced to use even more desperate measures to regain a foothold in the realms?

Each game you play will be in a distinct location in a particular Mortal Realm. If you win, then your Faction takes one step closer to capturing that Realm. If, at the end of the round, your Faction holds more victories in a Realm than the other, then you will control for it for the next round, whereupon you may be transported to a different Realm, or be asked to fight in that Realm again, either to consolidate your victories or to redeem your defeats!

The winning Faction will be determined by whichever Faction holds control over the most Mortal Realms after the last game. Every member of the winning Faction will be given an award to commemorate their victory.

FAVOURITE GAME VOTESFavourite Game Votes are simple - just pick the game you enjoyed the most that weekend. It’s a great way to acknowledge a really fun game, opponents with whom you had a great rapport, or maybe it was just that their army looked fantastic. Votes are taken at the end of the weekend, so please show your appreciation of your favourite opponents. Whichever player/players earn the most Favourite Game votes will be declared The Most Sporting Opponents at the Award Ceremony.

In addition, the person who is declared the Most Sporting Opponent of the weekend will have a unique opportunity - they will get to choose the next Mortal Realm we run a Campaign Weekend in, as well as pick the name and race of a character that will play a pivotal role in the story.Other activities during the event
