Torchlight Monday night Killteam league - The Battle for Volkus

We are inviting players to sign up for 'The Defenders of Volkus' hosted at Torchlight games in Burlington Ontario.  This will be a Narrative driven league played out over 6 rounds where players will take turns as the attackers or defenders of the Imperial planet of Volkus. 

Volkus is an Industrial Imperial world that has been laid to waste during the Tau empire's attempts to annex the planet for the Greater Good.  Among the chaos and carnage of the Tau Invasion, disruptive Xenos forces of Alderi and Orks are drawn to the battle field for mysterious reasons or the sheer thrill of combat.  With the leadership of Volkus under threat, renegades and cults can also be seen on the battle field.  Each force has their own hidden agenda to accomplish and only at the end of the campaign will their sinister plans be revealed.  This campaign will recreate the surface Battle for Volkus over 6 rounds of Narrative missions.

Games will be typically played on Monday Nights at Torchlight games during our regularly scheduled Killteam night.   If players cannot attend on a particular Monday night they can arrange another time with their opponent to play their round within a two week time frame.  We would strongly encourage players to play their games at Torchlight in Burlington.

The first Round will commence on Monday Feb 3rd.   The next round will start on the Monday after all games from the preceding round have been completed up to a limit of two week per round.  If a player cannot schedule their match before the next round starts, will forfeit their match, and an automatic win will be awarded to their opponent.  This means that if everyone completes their match within one week the next round will start on the following Monday and the campaign will accelerate.

Each player will play a Killteam for six rounds as either an attacker or defenders playing through the narrative missions from Hivestorm and Brutal and Cunning.  At the end of 6 rounds the Player who scored the most Points will be declared the Champion of Volkus.

The Hivestorm missions use a branching campaign structure where the outcome of each battle dictates which mission will be played next.  If the majority of the games are won by the defenders then then the next round will follow the Defenders path.  If the majority of games were won by the Attackers then the capaign will follow the attacker Path.  When the rounds are generated, players will be asssigned an opponent and the role of Attacker or Defender for that round.

There is a nominal cost for this series of $10 per player with all entry fees being awarded as prizes.  Prizes will be awarded by a Raffle which will be facilitated by Torchlight.

Players will win raffle tickets by completing their rounds, and by achieving their objectives.  The Better you do, the better your chances are of winning a prize
Hobby and Narative spirit are important, this is NOT a competitive league.  We are expecting all players to have fully painted kill teams and to have their teams to be reasonably WYSIWYG.

 We want you to take cool photos of your game and we'll use them to do a weekly recap of all the games.  You have just under a month to get that Team built and painted or to finally get that team on the table top that you've always wanted to play.
