this is the narrative side of the blackshield tournaments
a more casual approach with random narrative twists focused on the experience and a pressure-free atmosphere
narrative tournament?
what's a narrative tournament, you might ask?
it's a more fun and casual take on the usual format. there will be a governing narrative, that will take you through different dynamics and mechanisms throughout your games. there will be random events happening, changes in pace, and unexpected twists. it might not benefit you. it might have dire consequences. but if the gods favor you, it might just be what you need to reach legendary status.
the in-game rules are the same as a traditional 40k game. you need a 2000 points army respecting all official detachment and army rules. a painted army is not mandatory.
additional mechanics, events and objectives might be added on top of that, but the base game will not be changed.
more information will be provided in the player pack
narrative synopsis
once a year, the blackshield tournaments gather all the best warriors of fenris to compete under the watchful eyes of the elders, to win the honors of carrying the revered black shard, an ancient relic pivotal in the defense of the village.
all warriors start on equal footings, with no allies and countless opponents in their way to reach the top.
throughout their journey, unexpected alliances will be forged, others will be abandoned. weapons will break and shatter at your feet.
only the most legendary champion will be deemed worthy.
