The Fate of Konor Campaign is going to be kicking off all over the world here soon. Come take a look at what the campaign box holds for the participants.

Scanner was able to get his hands on the new Fate of Konor campaign box that is being sent out to stores for the new worldwide campaign that’s kicking off July 27th. Let’s take a look at how the new campaign will be ran and what you can expect to see.

The event period will run from July 27th to September 10th and be a global online campaign. The only way to register results is through a registered store. The results you can register are a victory in a game, or a new, painted datasheet of miniatures (painted in either the muster build-up or during the campaign). Each planet is going to have a unique missions, Stratagems, and theme allowing you to add variety to the games.

Over a six week period, players are going to be fighting on six different planets in the Konor System: Astaramis, Loebos, Drenthal, Vanitor, Konor, and Nethamus.

Each planet will have its own story, unique mission, Stratagems, and will be affected by what has gone on previously in the campaign. Each planet will also have a theme over the six week period, players will earn double points for each new painted datasheet or for each victory they have while using those themed units in their army.

The themes are Week 1: Start Collecting/Space Marines, Week 2: Elites, Week 3: Tanks, Week 4: Psykers, Week 5: Fast Attack/Flyers, Week 6: Scenery/Lords of War.

But there’s a caveat to all this, Xenos players have a lot of control over the fate of the galaxy. They can take wins away from Imperial or Chaos forces, which can alter who controls each planet at the end of each week.

And last but not least the Stratagems. Some of these have some really unique abilities, and will there is one for each planet. Depending on where you play determines what Stratagem you will have access to that week. These Stratagems will be available in addition to the Stratagems your army already has access to.
