Welcome to a 40K Narrative Event! Torchlight Games & Hobbies is proud to be host to this event which is being organised and run by the Wargames Warriors. Torchlight will host the event, provide the means to purchase tickets, and supply prizing for the players to receive at the events end. The Wagame Warriors have prepared a 2 day long event for 26 players divided into 3 teams (Imperium, Chaos & Xenos) and will be available for questions leading up to the event, as well as act as Game Masters and Coaches for the 3 teams during the weekend.
A narrative event is an event where the actions of players will have an impact on the ongoing story. You do not have to role-play or do funny voices (although we support any role-play. Go on…. WAAAGGGGH loudly, or scream THE EMPEROR PROTECTS when you roll that 6); the goal is to have players make choices in game fitting of their faction/warlord, for example fighting tooth and nail versus Tyranids to stop them devouring a planet. Players will decide how the story unfolds through their victories and defeats with the sector updates at the end of each event day so that the story can be continued by those that attend the next game day. Each faction has its own custom army rules as well as its own goal, adhering to the goal will help your faction attain supremacy.
Unlike a competitive event that has a pre-set number of games to be played you may leave early, arrive late, or stay all day as your personal schedule requires. Armies range from 500-1500 Points and the event allows for 3-way games, doubles, 2v1’s and allies arriving late to the fray in a Dynamic Battles system!
Narrative gaming does require some bookkeeping, you will record characters injuries, successes, and upgrades as well as casualties in units. We recommend doing this on paper in pencil - But don't worry, the Wargame Warriors Coaches will be present throughout the event to help.
