Background: The campaign will be set in the Lockhead Sub-sector and will be a narrative driven BFG campaign. It seems the war throughout the sector as a whole has resulted in further warp activity with a warp rift opening in the sub-sector. Only a small window of clear space allows entry into the portion cut off. The Chaos bands spew forth from the warp rift intent on decimating the sub-sector and making a stronghold spine ward. It is rumoured a daemon world has materialised in real space! Intent of capitalising on this both the local Ork Kingdoms and Tau Sept are determined to take advantage of the Imperium's weakness and expand their own empires in the area. The enigmatic Eldar races see opportunity in the strife, their agendas unknown to the Imperium of man but there is a maiden world that needs to be saved from the machinations of Slaanesh. The Eldar must close the warp rift With all this activity with the mortals a small tomb world has awoken, the Necrons plan a harvest. The Imperium is beset on all sides and must defend their vital worlds; Demios Forgeworld, Port Harmony and Ourimbah Prime are all key worlds to be protected at all costs. Due to this desperate action the Imperium failed to notice the small brood of genestealers hiding away on several transport ships bound the area. They have already ceded their cults on several worlds and the Hivemind is drawn to them, Hivefleet Wyvrn makes for the Lockhead sub-sector. Campaign: The aim will be for a 6 Month Campaign with results each month (if interest is still there) Each month will have a battle theme that forges the following month’s narrative and ongoing conflict. Will the imperium push back all comers, will the Orks claim worlds ripe for the picking or will everything fall to Chaos, or will the Tryanids eat everyone?! I’m leaving this to you guys, a portion of my created sub-subsector will change and ill let you decide how. I will provide more in depth goals depending on the factions registered. Each player registers a 1650 point list that is their fleet for the campaign. This is their battlegroup and needs a named admiral to lead it. A player can register more than one fleet if they wish to play with more fleets. You will pick you ships from this fleet list for each battle you fight. Any scenario from the main rule sets can be fought but if the theme battle for the month is fought then it counts more in victory points.
The victory points will be entered into an excel spreadsheet that will be pinned at the top of the facebook group. Please edit it once a battle is fought (trust is given). I will keep a master copy though, just in case. You can provide as little detail as you wish but to help create the narrative it would be great if you provided a little description on the battles, for instance names of ships, any heroic deeds, vendettas accomplished etc. I will use these to help create the narrative, your admirals and names will be used! If you take photos, post them up in the group and ill use them in the narrative as well. Renown is earned the same in original bfg rulebook i.e. at the end of a battle ships gain exp and can roll on the refits table etc. and these need to be entered onto your fleet registry. This can also be provided in the spreadsheet if you wish, lets see who’s becoming a real admiral in the group! If a ship is destroyed then a new ship will need to be purchased as per the reinforcements section in the bfg rulebook. If a ship is crippled then it needs to be sent to an appropriate world for repair and cannot be used in the next battle. Victory conditions After each month, depending on how the battles have gone and the victory points entered then the narrative will be written by me on how the factions registered are doing. I will post the update onto my own website and link it to the facebook page. There will be three groups:
Each month the victory points are reset so no one faction can get too far in the lead that particular month and so there is still incentive to fight. The overall winner and ultimate victory of the campaign will end in the last month will some bigger battles (hopefully) and the fate of the sub-sector decided by you guys. Attached is a map showing the campaign area and it will be updated to show key battles etc. People can provide names of planets too! Also default excel sheet for download as well.
Thank you to Andrew at Tagged Events for creating the logo for the campaign
