The 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.

Army selection and restrictions

You may select your army from any Forgeworld Production, the Shattered Legions and Armies of Dark Compliance lists will be allowed at this event. Where rules of the same unit differ, use the most recent version. Daemons of the ruinstorm may not be used as the primary detachment but may be summoned or taken as an allied detachment. Questoris Knight Houses may only be taken as an allied detachment or lord of war.

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.

• Primarchs and special characters may not be used

• You may not use the leviathan force organisation chart
