Hey, fellow Warhammer fans! The most immersive Warhammer event of the year, the Grand Narrative, is about to blow your mind, and guess what? It’s going international this year! That’s right, our beloved lore-driven adventure is stepping up its game, giving us even more epic ways to dive into the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Let’s break down why this is the event you absolutely can’t miss.
Affect the Official Canon
The Grand Narrative isn’t just another tournament; it’s a chance for us to impact the official lore of Warhammer 40,000. Imagine playing a game and knowing that your actions are shaping the universe’s story in real time. How cool is that?
Going Global
Previously, the Grand Narrative was a US-only event. Last year, 300 hobbyists gathered in Atlanta for a weekend of epic battles alongside the World Championships of Warhammer. But this year, we’re going international! The event will be held simultaneously in the USA and the UK, linked together so that the outcomes on one continent affect the narrative on the other. It’s like a global Warhammer party!
- USA: Hyatt Regency, Atlanta from November 22nd to 24th.
- UK: Warhammer World on the same weekend.
Signature Event Features
Both venues will deliver the Grand Narrative’s signature style:
- Thematic Terrain: Each room has a unique vibe, from icy defenses to promethium-scented forges.
- Cosplay: Bring your A-game and dress the part!
- Immersive Setting: It’s all about the story, not just winning.
- Legends Datasheets: Always wanted to use those quirky datasheets? Now’s your chance!
At the Hyatt Regency, expect varied thematic rooms like last year, where you could feel the chill of icy defenses or the heat of forge worlds. Over at Warhammer World, the entire place will be part of the narrative. Even Bugman’s Bar and the Warhammer World store might play roles in your missions.
Last Year’s Epic Storyline
Last year’s Grand Narrative was set in the Palat System, where three great Pacts battled for hidden secrets. The storyline was insane:
- An Imperial battle group rebelled against a mad Inquisitor.
- A new Daemon Prince of Tzeentch was born.
- Sergeant Thedge handed over an ancient Abominable Intelligence to Vashtorr the Arkifane, costing the souls of all who followed him.
This Year’s Setting: The Chalnath Expanse
This year, we’re heading to the Chalnath Expanse, a brutal warzone in the Imperium Nihilus. Here, three new Lords of War will lead their forces through wars of faith and fury, battling for knowledge, survival, or the will of the Dark Gods.
