Salty Monkey Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 Oscar and myself have been throwing around the idea of a 40k narrative campaign at ye ol' Ordo club. Hopefully starting in June...hopefully 😉 This thread is to see who would be interested, any thoughts on what kind of narrative you would like to try (Fluffy narrative, hardcore escalation, random unicorn fart rampage? etc.) Also, there are a new batch of players that have been coming in and some who may be coming in, let us know what kind of force and points levels you are able to bring to the table. Don't worry if you're just starting, we are very flexible and 500pt skirmish games are a great way to get started We were intentionally thinking about framing it around the the new Tempest of War card format and thinking of starting this off with a couple weeks at 500pt skirmish games and maybe building from there but this is a brainstorm and all input is welcome Let us know what you think!    2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constyx Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 I like the idea of a Crusade and am interested in joining. Work can sometimes be hectic, and I can get called out of town quickly which are the only downsides for me participating. I'm interested in a fluffier campaign. More focus on telling good/cool stories. Maybe incorporate some type of character/unit growth to see the growth of the army overtime? Not saying it has to be roleplaying necessarily, but more background info that provides context for why the different factions are fighting each other.  I like the idea of using the Tempest of War pack for setting up missions. I would also prefer points limit to stick a little lower, around 1500 max. It would make it easier for me to add more units as time goes on and keep up with the crusade. But I also play Custodes and Grey Knights, so that may not be as much of an issue if I can carve out some time for painting. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixCoal Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 I am 100% interested in this kind of thing and am totally available whenever it's going to happen. Any kind of fluff is good fluff, but I think half the fun of it is getting into the fluff. After all, spreadsheets the game is neat but it's so much better doodling angry men screaming at things in the margins. Tempest of war is the random objectives right? I don't think I can go much over 1000 points, but it should be fine right? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go fluffy we might even do teams maybe...  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 I’d be interested and have plenty of unit options at 1000 points. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty Monkey Posted May 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Another question, would people want to play the crusade narrative every week or every other week? Every week is awesome but every other week gives some leeway in case someone has to miss a week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zee Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 I would love to try this out, it sounds super fun. I just have 500 points for now, and probably won't be up to 1000 until later in the summer or early fall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Mos def interested in this. Weekly or every other week is cool. Just have to have a schedule to know bc work sux.

Salty Monkey Posted May 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Im thinking to keep this crusade "skirmish style" maxing out point games at 1000pts (varying each week) What armies are you two looking at? 1 hour ago, Cowboy said: Mos def interested in this.

Don’t forget, ordo has a space marine army that is available for use and lives at the clubhouse! It’s a great way to try out new units and gives you the ability to build larger lists if you’re interested 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixCoal Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 I'd like every week, but also understand that schedules tend not to be flexible. Just let me know what day I need to clear and I can probably make it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chikin Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 I think I could do either every week or every other week. I haven't played 9th edition yet, so smaller point games would be good to get back into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome, we have been having a good 40k crowd on Thursdays if you want to get some practice before the crusade starts. 🙂 Also, what army do you play? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
