Welcome to “Shadows from Beyond”, a Warhammer 40K Narrative Event held at Atomic Empire. This will be an event with 1v1 battles generally following the 40K 9th Edition Rule Set.
However, as a Narrative Event, missions will have customized scoring elements, environmental hazards (or benefits), and unique risk and reward elements for every faction.
The intent with this event is to create a fun and casual atmosphere that breaks up the usual game mode for Warhammer 40K. First and foremost - players should enjoy their games and be a good opponent. Due to the nature of the game, every game will have a winner and a loser (OK, there may be a rare tie!). Sportsmanship, camaraderie, and immersion with all elements of the Warhammer 40K hobby are just as important, if not more important, than who wins a single game or the event itself.
The Tournament will begin promptly at 10:30am on Saturday, January 22nd, 2022. After announcements and any specific questions, pairings for Round 1 will be announced and play will begin.
