Garreck Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 No reason Chaos players shouldn't be approaching this with more of a "never say die" attitude. There are tons of reasons you probably don't stand a chance. Which means a victory would be pretty epic, and a loss sort of "so what?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 my local store manager was saying that it has three factions (Imperium, Chaos and Xenos) and Xenos can choose where to place their victories on a mission by mission basis, which is fun from a tactics perspective. Everyone else is supposed to declare for Imperium or Chaos up front apparently (though i suppose if you have two stores you can get to, you could pick a different faction per store?)

Brother Casman Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Since this is actually happening, I've updated the title of the thread. A little less questioning, and a little more declarative. I'm curious to see the outcome of the whole thing, I must admit. Vel'Cona 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joschlumpf Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Didn´t they stated in some of their first teases you where able to contribute your scores/wins/etc. online. Why do I now have to go to an official store?  Therefore I sadly won´t attend the campaign at all...Really wanted to see Ultramar burn....meh, maybe next time.

Well how else could they make sure that you aren't making up your wins to make your faction win? I don't see any way how it could be done without being in a store.

Master Ciaphas Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I am just in it for the fluff and the narrative missions, which I will happily play with my mates. Any old excuse to play some more Warhammer is good with me! Not saying that I will be investing much of my hard earned money, as I already have more than enough plastic men at home!

Guess depending on how close to the border you live you could always travel to germany for some games instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can tell the map isn't updated with stores outside the UK (or maybe it just isn't loading) but even there you can see plenty of non UK stores that are participating.

Shockmaster Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I doubt it has to be a GW/Warhammer store to log results, just any store that stocks GW products would make more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Abaia Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 When I look in my area I see the Warhammer store and the large LGS in the city both on the map, but not the small LGS near my house. So it's not only GW stores, but it's not all independent retailers either. I also think independent stores had to sign up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaguecaster Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) I expect it will end up like all battles, chaos eventually gets driven off at great cost though manage to achieve some lesser "it was all part of the plan" victory, RG will pull some more plot armour out of his arse to win over his brother who temporary gets banished or sent packing. The fact only Space marines have their full codex and army release really shows the odds are in their favour whilst Mortarion is nowhere to be seen. Though nothing would make me more happy than see every ultramarine fan boy cry out in anguish as their precious 1 out of 500 worlds is destroyed, can't be bothered taking part especialy with our codex and primarch still unreoleased though even if I wanted to I cant since I live no where near an official store to log results Edited July 22, 2017 by Plaguecaster Brother Aiwass and Lord Marshal 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 RG will pull some more plot armour out of his arse...

Montford Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) Played my first Fate of Konor game today, it was a lot of fun.

Plaguecaster Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) Nice to know with the codex leaks the outcome is basically already decided with Morty and his legion sent packing whilst Guilliman is once again off to slay traitors single handily with his awesomeness whilst the Ultramarines launch a crusade to reclaim more worlds and punch some Orks in the face so obviously no matter the outcome it's nothing serious enough the Ultramarines barely care and are off doing what they do best showing everyone else how much better they are Ultramarine fluff always makes me want to throw up Edited July 24, 2017 by Plaguecaster Brother Aiwass 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aura_enchanted Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 i will be participating at my store in so far that if i have an elligible model that i am working on, i will submit it to be scored towards the imperium. i cannot however say much about me playing in the events. i work a precious schedule and while i do now have people to play with i wont really get much time. between now and the end of july i get maybe 1 day off. Â i have registered at my store as the dark angels. meaning my ravenguard will sit out the proceedings as will my adeptus mechanicus DogWelder 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
