The fires of Istvaan spread unchecked, and now the Galcoran Reach burns. Word of Horus’ betrayal has reached this distant sector in the galactic north, now caught behind the Warmaster’s inexorable advance toward Terra. Ill-prepared for rebellion, the Reach erupts into chaos as warlords, forge-priests, and rogue commanders gather their strength in the Tarkath Sub-Sector, the industrial heart of the region and its last hope for resistance or domination.

 

Campaign Structure

Players are divided into two factions:

• Loyalists
•  Traitors

 

Teams must remain balanced, so please let us know if you’re flexible on which side you’d like to play.

 

Each month represents a new battlefront in the Tarkath Sub-Sector of the Galcoran Reach, with:

•  A unique star system
• A custom mission
• Special campaign rules

 

Pairings and mission packets are released on the first weekend of each month.

 

Lists are updated monthly; new 500pt increments must be submitted by the end of the first weekend each month.

 

List Writing Restrictions

• No Characters with the Unique Special Rules
• Your first 500pt list MUST contain a High Command Unit

How to Score Points

Each month you can earn up to 3 points for your team:

• Fully paint this month’s 500pts
• Win your monthly game
• Add to your army’s story with a short passage of written lore

 

Lore passages should be 1–3 paragraphs describing your battle, your commander, or your force’s actions that week. All points contribute to your team’s total to determine control of the current system at the end of the month.
