Join us for one of our favourite store anniversary events, the Warhammer 40'000 BIG GAME......
◾DARK DECENT!!
We are returning to the now very pitted RESOLUTIONS IRE, a fortress world deep within the Bastior Sector that we have now visited 4 times across other events of Hive Fleet Leviathan in this edition and throughout the last couple of years. The armies of the Imperium will face off against the combined armies of Chaos and Xenos, which side will you fight on?
Last year we had 40'000pts of battle ready painted miniatures on the table top for an epic clash, that took place both above ground and below. An absolute spectacle and something even worth popping in to see, even if your not taking part.
We will be sharing with you the narrative on the day during the build up to the first dice roll! No spoilers this year.
Like last year, the battle will be spread over TWO separate battlefields that are inexplicably linked, fighting above ground or descending to the bunker complex below the battlefield will be your choice. Two very different and thematic battlefield's that will affect one another in a major way. Featuring titans, gun emplacements, orbital strikes and bomber runs, this game is truly one of the narrative experiences of the year here in Stoke and we always throw in a few surprises..
◾HOW TO TAKE PART :
- To take part you will need to have a BATTLE READY painted force of 1500pts of miniatures, Dice & Tape measures and your armies latest rules. Your army must consist of 1 faction, no allies, and no legendary miniatures.
- We have space for many of you to take part, split between IMPERIUM fighting against the CHAOS/XENOS armies, but be aware there are limited spots available.
