The battlefield is set. Only one warlord will emerge victorious.

This fast-paced 1250-point singles event throws you straight into the fires of the Age of Darkness across four intense rounds where every decision matters and every mistake can be punished.

Expect a full day of tactical warfare featuring varied missions, pre-selected deployments, and constantly shifting battlefield challenges designed to test your skill, adaptability, and aggression in equal measure.

There’s nowhere to hide here just you, your army, and the strength of your command… with a little help from the dice gods, hopefully.

Will you dominate through flawless strategy and precision?
Will you carve a path to glory through sheer brutality?
Or will you fall, bloodied but wiser, having learned hard lessons on the battlefield?

Whatever your goal, bring your best force, roll true, and leave your mark upon the battlefield.

Event Restrictions & Army Guidelines

Force Composition

Army lists must be constructed using the Crusade Force Organisation Chart found within the Age of Darkness Rulebook, alongside any additional applicable rules.

Eligible detachments may be selected from:

• The Age of Darkness Rulebook
• Any Journal Tactica

Players are required to bring:

• A hard or digital copy of all rules relevant to their army
• A copy of their army list for opponent reference
• tokens, Templates and Dice.

Additional Restrictions

• No Named Characters, Special Characters, or Primarchs are permitted
• A maximum of one High Command unit may be included in your force

Battle Ready Standard

All armies must meet a minimum Battle Ready standard.

This means models should be fully assembled, clearly painted, and based to a playable tabletop standard:

• Minimum of 2 colours
• Finished base required

A simple example would be:

• Black undercoat
• Red painted lenses/eyes
• Textured or grass base

Simple, effective, and ready for war.

We strongly encourage fully painted and thematic armies not only do they make for a far more immersive experience, but they may also catch the attention of the event organisers when awards are decided…

Event Awards

• Overall Winner — Most wins / highest VP overall
• Most Bloodthirsty — Highest VP scored in a single game
• Best Hobby — Painting, conversions, and army theme
• Most Sporting — Voted by fellow players
• Wooden Spoon — Last place overall

Additional random prizes may also be awarded throughout the day.

Final Notes

While every event is competitive by nature and there can only be one overall champion we actively encourage players to bring fun, thematic, and narrative-driven forces.

Victory is important.
Style, sportsmanship, and unforgettable moments matter too.

So gather your warriors, ready your dice, and prepare for battle.

Please also ensure that your army lists are submitted via BCP no later than 11th July. An Email will be sent at a later date.

Any list submissions received after this date may not be eligible for list checking prior to the event. Please ensure your lists are accurate, clearly formatted, and include all relevant wargear and upgrades.
