Warzone: Indianapolis Prim
An Apocalypse Narrative Campaign

Welcome to the first Apocalypse narrative campaign. To make things simple, we will be using the rules from the Libra Apocalyptic, Warhammer 40,000: Apocalypse (Gold book), and Planetary Onslaught. These have been reworked and deployment maps have been update to accommodate the size of Apocalypse games. This event is designed to be fun, narrative driving and community building.

Schedule of games: The last Sunday of every month. Games will be held at Family Time Games at the corner of 86th and Michigan. If a change of date is required, we will change it on the event page in the Indy40k group and post details at the venue.

January - April: Planet Strike Phase
May- August: Stronghold Assault Phase
September - December: Cities of Death Phase

Cost of the event: $5.00 either on a gift card to Family time games or a $5.00 donation to FTG's table and chair fund.

Attacker and Defender: At the beginning of January’s Apocalypse game, two teams will be formed. Imperium of Man vs Forces of Chaos and Destruction. (Chaos/Xenos). Each team will elect a team player to represent their team. Representatives will roll a d6. The person that rolls the highest will get to choose Attacker or Defender. The winning team’s warlord from the previous month will get to choose if they are attacker or defender.

Players: Players do not have to attend each and every session but it is encouraged. Some players may even find themselves having to float between teams due to balancing out the number of players that are at the session. Also, Players do not have to play the same army all year. Just not that only the army that you play gains the glory and your army’s warlord that is field gains the experience.

Warlords and Supreme Warlord: Each player will have a warlord, worth 1 VP if killed in the game. Each team will have a Supreme Warlord, worth bonus 1 VP if killed in the game. In order for your warlord to gain experience they must survive the session. If they do not, roll on the warlord injure table to see what has happened to them. If the warlord is truly dead, you will need to pick a new one. If your warlord lived through the session, roll on the experience table for their bonus. Note, Name characters as warlords cannot roll on the experience table as they already have special bonuses.






Warlord Injury table: Roll d6
1: Dead! This warlord has died for it serious wounds. Player will need to pick a new warlord. All experience gained by that warlord is lost.
2-3: Seriously injured. The warlord requires time to recover from their wounds. That player’s warlord cannot be used in the next session.
4+: Recovered. The warlord has had a speedy recovery and is fit for action. The warlord can take part in the next session.
Warlord Experience table: Roll d6
1: Quick Reflexes: +1 to initiative characteristic
2: Warrior Born: +1 to Weapon Skill
3: Shoota-ist: +1 to Ballistic Skill
4: Brawler: + 1 to Attack characteristic
5: Survival Instincts: 6+ invulnerability save. If the warlord already has this bonus, their invulnerability save generated by this bonus is improved by 1. *Note: this bonus does not stack with anything else in the game, expect itself.*
6: Warmonger: Roll immediately on the warlord table from your faction codex. The warlord will now have this warlord trait until it is killed in the came from the Dead! Result on the warlord injury table.

Campaign Scoring: The winning team of each session will gain a special session bonus for the next campaign session as per the Planetary Onslaught book. Some of these bonuses maybe changed to fit better into the Apocalypse level games. Winning team of each session will be awarded 1 Campaign point and will gain a special Campaign phase bonus to be used in the next phase of the campaign.
If the session bonus or campaign phase bonus requires player to use it, it will be given to the supreme warlord of that team. They can decide from there if they personally want to use it or give it to another player on their team. This does not count towered the asset limit for players.
