INQUISITION WARS

22ND – 23RD AUGUST 2015

to the pack for the Inquisition Wars

Campaign Weekend. Ahead of you is a unique weekend of mystery, intrigue, and lots of narrative-based gaming as we look to tell the story of the Inquisition Wars over a weekend, through great games of Warhammer 40,000. Will you be part of the winning Faction? Will glory be yours? Only time will tell...

THE STORY THUS FARThe galaxy burns. For ten thousand years the fires of war have ravaged the Imperium and they show no signs of relenting. As the realm slowly crumbles, agents of the God-Emperor scramble to protect His sprawling domain. These men and women will commit any action; condone any atrocity, to preserve His legacy.

THEY ARE THE INQUISITION.A dark and secretive group, they have begun to investigate a legend that could be either a beacon of hope or a dark sign of the Apocalypse. The legend begins in the gruelling aftermath of the Horus Heresy, a period of strife and mayhem where the warrior known as Ebonclaw would make his mark on history.

Ebonclaw was a warrior to whom war was a natural environment. A savage combatant and canny commander, he rose quickly to the rank of sergeant, after which it soon became clear that not all was as it seemed. Whether borne of some ancient prophecy or simply a strange quirk of fate, he was gifted with a kind of dark immortality - no matter the odds, regardless of the mission, Ebonclaw would be the only one of his squad that would walk away alive. Time and again he and his men would be ambushed, caught behind enemy lines and in one instance, simply be on patrol – it mattered not, for every single skirmish would see only Ebonclaw emerge from the smoke, bloodied but unbroken.

Eventually he was mortally wounded when he latest squad chose to believe the rumours that followed his reputation – that his continued survival was some dark pact paid for by the souls of his fallen comrades. He was murdered in cold blood shortly after his latest re-assignment and left for dead.

Once he was found, he was hailed as a martyr and his body was placed in stasis at a small shrine on Teldus, a planet in the Mortifeco sector.

Recently the shrine has been destroyed and his body has gone missing, with the seals to the stasis chamber reportedly broken from the inside…

The Inquisition has arrived at Teldus in full force, and lines are already being drawn in the sand between two powerful Inquisitor Lords over what to do. Lord Coteaz what has happened as a miracle, Lord Karamazov sees nothing but deception and heresy. You too will need to choose your side as you seek to unravel the mystery of Ebonclaw and the Mortifeco sector.

JOINING A FACTION When you arrive at the start of the weekend, you will be asked which Faction you wish to join. Will you side with Coteaz or perhaps you’d like to join up with Karamazov? The choice is yours, but choose carefully as this will be the Faction you are fighting for over the course of the weekend.

WINNING THE CAMPAIGN Winning a campaign is more than just standing on some objectives - we are crafting a story of betrayal, heresy and miracles. To this end, we will be using some unique scenarios that will tell the tale of the Ebonclaw and the fate of the Mortifeco Sector. The missions you will be on in these scenarios will be dictated by the course of the war. Perhaps you are being ambushed after achieving a crushing victory in an all out fight, where the enemy seeks to take the head of your best generals. You won’t know what those scenarios will be until you get here, for, such is the nature of war.

As a result it’s probably best to take an army you think you will have fun with regardless of the mission - whether you are on the defensive, gunning down enemies as they spill from their transports, or engaging in a full frontal assault on an enemy position.

We will decide which faction wins the campaign by the results of the last game of the weekend, which will be easier or harder depending on how well you have been doing! As you cross the planet you may come across archaic weaponry, xenos relics and much, much more to improve your chances at the final battle.

SPECIAL MISSIONS Before each game, you will be handed the scenario for the next mission, which will include the objectives and points in use that game. These home-brewed and unique scenarios are being written specifically for this event to tell the story of The Inquisition Wars and copies of them are yours to take home with you.

FAVOURITE GAME VOTESFavourite Game Votes are simple - just pick the game you enjoyed the most that weekend. It’s a great way to acknowledge a really fun game, opponents with whom you had a great rapport, or maybe it was just that their army looked fantastic.
