Unspeakable Acts: The Daemonic Incursion

Enemy at the Gates

6 April saw the Daemonic incursion as predicted by the Empire Observers. The Eye of Terror opened, and a host of Daemons poured through the rent in the warp into the realm of mortals, both into the feudal world of Warhammer and the high tech realm of the 40th millenium:


In what we think may be a NZ, if not world first, multiple players (10+) on either side, played a simultaneous Fantasy and 40K game on one big table!

The Fantasy contingent fought the Defence of Kislev, while the 40K contingent has an invasion of a Jungle World, somewhere in the Eye.

Great fun was had by one and all, resulting in a restoration of the equilibrium:
In the 40th Millenium Chaos and the Daemons triumphed, while in Defenders of Kislev were succesful in defending the ramparts of the city against the Daemonic incursion.

  2. It was a day of good fun. Looking ahead to major armour battle(s) ("Armourgeddon")to mark the 70th anniversary of the Batle of Kursk.

    We wont confine us to that particular battle, but celebrate armour battles in general, through the ages (incl 40K) Would the Kapiti FoW guys be interested in having some battles at this event?
    The club intends to focus on FoW (15mm) and FoW (20mm) in the run-up to the anniversary.
