The Badab War – Shadow of Grief

Verant Ortys is dead. Yarvan Sartaq is dead. The Tyrant has betrayed the Imperium. The Inquisition has betrayed the Maelstrom Warders. A conflict that might have once been resolved with the surrender of one man can no longer be satiated with such a low price. Worlds will burn. Chapters will be winnowed down to the bone. The Maelstrom Zone will bleed as the noble warriors of the Adeptus Astartes tear themselves apart. All the while, hungry eyes watch from the darkness, eager to take advantage of the Imperium’s weakness. The nature of the Badab War has changed, from one of dominion and contest to one of extermination and slaughter. Welcome to the first installment of our events set in the Badab War timeline – Shadow of Grief. This one day event will consist of 3 games played in a variety of locations across the Badab War conflict, with the results shaping the wider narrative of how these conflict zones are won or lost by the Loyalists and Secessionists. For this event we will be using the Age of Darkness 2nd Edition ruleset. Players will require a 1500 point “Front Line” army using the Age of Darkness (Badab War) Standard Mission Detachment and one 1000 point “Zone Mortalis” army using the Age of Darkness (Zone Mortalis). On they day there will be 3 factions represented; Loyalist, Secessionist, and Hazard. The Loyalist Faction represent the forces loyal to the Imperium (Adeptus Astartes, Astra Militarium, Adeptus Sororitas, etc). The Secessionist faction represents the forces loyal to the Tyrant of Badab (Adeptus Astartes, Astra Militarium, Tyrant’s Legion, etc). The Hazard faction represents the rogue piratical elements present in the Maelstrom Zone and taking advantage of the crisis. These armies covered by the Hazard faction label are Orks, Aeldari, and Chaos. Loyalist attendees can expect to fight Secessionist forces, and vice versa. However, both sides may have to contend with Hazard forces as the hard won gains of their side are opportunistically assaulted. The rules for the factions can found: - Loyalist and Secessionist: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1aW8l5YEf54Zfo0P_wkFZmEstSFaM0arm - Chaos: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m6XSz3Odzic6Cq5Dju98bqcV73SkN_0k/view - Orks: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11-UK8ED3uff7zI1m3LynlVf7OliSddFJ/view - Aeldari: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10DKzUHPM12Z31fe_trt4YXM_nMpdobpt/view Rules may receive minor updates/tweaks prior to the event. Any such changes will be publicised in advance. Tickets are £40 and includes a tasty lunch on the day as well as our usual lush goody-bags and prize support. There are 18 places available.
