It’s fall again, but things are just starting to heat up for 40k. Come see a great six week league that you can run for your group or store, and be done just in time for the holidays!

Good guy Greg Steiner from Hobbytown Fayetteville has come up with a cool 40k league that combines a bunch of cool formats into one six week league. Plus there is nothing better than going out with a bang right, because the league ends with one BIG game of APOCALYPSE for week six!

Check it out!

  • Week 1: 250 Point – Kill Team Mission (Unit Separated)
  • Week 2: Warhammer 40,000 Tournament (optional) 1,000 Point Combat Patrol Tournament.  Three rounds of glorious mayhem and still home in time for early supper
  • Week 2: 1000 Point – [TEAM GAME- Twist of Fate]1000 Points per player – Maelstrom of War (Tactical Escalation Mission)
  • Week 3: 1250 Point  Eternal War Mission (Hammer & Anvil/The Relic)
  • Week 4: 1500 Point – [TEAM GAME – Twist of Fate] 1500 Points per player – Eternal War (Purge the Alien)
  • Week 5: 1850 Point – Airdrop SNAFU – (Vanguard Deployment)
  • Week 6: Apocalypse – 4,000 Points per player – Limit 1 Titan/Super-heavy per player.  APOC formations allowed.

So week one is a fun little modified kill team action adapted over to 7th edition. Week two is combat patrol that you can run as missions OR as a tournament like they are doing.

Then it’s on to three glorious weeks of “normal 40k” games and the big APOCALYPSE climax at the end.

If that sounds fun to you, download a copy of the league below and go get your game on!
