Mission Combinations and Terrain Layouts
The Pariah Nexus Mission Deck offers a plethora of mission combinations, with six Deployment Types, 10 Mission Rules, and nine Primary Missions. You can either randomly select missions for pick-up games or use the pre-generated combinations from the Mission Pool. There are 20 combos to choose from, providing variety for players and organizers.
To support these missions, eight bespoke Terrain Layouts are provided. These layouts come with measurements, suggested footprints for Area Terrain features, recommended heights, and orientations for walls. Adjust them to fit your terrain collection, but the goal is to ensure balanced play with enough cover and movement space.
Tournament Organizer Guidance
Running a Warhammer tournament can be complex, but the Companion offers guidance on pairings and rankings. The advice is geared towards newer organizers, helping them improve the overall tournament experience. These principles are used in official Warhammer events, aiming to create a smooth and enjoyable experience for all participants.
The Future is Bright
Warhammer is more popular than ever, with over a million games played at tournaments worldwide in the past few years. This growth is set to continue, and the Pariah Nexus Companion is here to support all players in enjoying the new season to the fullest.
