£43.71The Deserts of Helio Centius II campaign day: Overview
What is it?
The Deserts of Helio Centius is an exciting narrative day of gaming set during the Horus Heresy’s Age of Darkness. Players will battle over 3 key territories across the planet for control of vital resources. A planetary empires board will be present on the day to chart the traitors and loyalists progress. The event aims for a relaxed and entertaining atmosphere, so please bring a sense of humour! All of the awards at the end of the day are based on sportsmanship, heroic actions and moments. There will be no 1st, 2nd, 3rd places for the all-conquering army.
There are event exclusive relics, and those who submit army lists and buy a ticket first can select a relic. There is only 1 of each relic, so first come first serve. 48 campaign relics + standard age of darkness/legion/mech etc relics. See relic armoury for what is left and check the pack for the relic rules.

Whilst any list is allowed at the event the more extreme builds may find they are paired with other extreme armies (or suffer from random animal attacks). Alternatively these armies may be made known to the opposing side to allow them to pick a specific opponent to face them.
