Games & Entertainment

Warhammer 40k Tyrannic War Crusade Campaign

A Tyrannic War Crusade campaign unfolds across three phases, each four weeks long, for a total of twelve weeks. Entry is $25 per phase. Each phase names a winner with prizing, and after all three phases a grand winner receives a special prize. The format follows the Crusade rules, with details outlined on pages 296 to 330 of the core rulebook. Participants start with five Requisition Points and a 1,000 point roster. Plan to play one game each week with flexible scheduling. If you face someone who has already completed a game that week, that opponent acts as a proxy and does not gain or lose anything on their roster, though it is encouraged to find opponents who have not yet played when possible. Games are coordinated in a dedicated Crusade Discord channel. Record results in front of your opponent, and document any upgrades or RP spent in front of a league player. League sheets are kept at the store for easy access. When an upgrade allows a pick or roll, this league will roll randomly. Prizes are structured for a field of ten players. In Phase 1, the top campaign points total earns $50 and painting 500 points is worth $50, with the painting award rolling into the final phase if no one qualifies. In Phase 2, the campaign points leader receives $50 and there is a $50 raffle tied to having 1,000 points painted, with the painting award added to the final phase if the threshold is not met. In Phase 3, the most campaign points earns $100, the unit or character with the highest XP is worth $50, and there is a $50 raffle for having 1,500 points painted. Players also vote for Best Player, covering qualities like sportsmanship, theme, or painting, and you cannot vote for yourself. The commissioner will secretly award Champion Coins during league nights, and each coin counts as a vote in the final tally. The prize pool also includes a Combat Patrol of choice or $100 from a faction, two boxes from that faction valued up to $140, and a matching Baron of Dice set.
