This is a Live Action Roleplay (LARP) Session of up to 5-10 Players: As a player, you'll need to push to complete your guild's goals, survive plots of other guilds, and help determine whether the expedition succeeds... or is sabotaged to fail.

Introducing the MEGA Deckmaster Event! Build your deck as you usually would, however now you will be including 2 extra Monsters that will serve as you Deckmasters that are kept outside of the deck. 1 Deckmaster will storm the field to help you attack for game in your turn, and 1 Deckmaster will summon itself as a last line of defense during your opponent's attacks. If your lifepoints reach 0, or both of your Deckmasters are defeated, you lose the game. R100 pp

Warhammer: Old World - Narrative Event
We're going to have a narrative day at ICON on Sunday 07 July 2024. It will be a narrative style event, rather than a tournament, and will play two 1500 point games over the course of the day. Each person will choose a faction to represent (more details to follow). Time allows for 3 hours per game, so the starting time will be a civilised 09:30am. Everyone is welcome, but the missions will be casual, and narrative-based, so may not necessarily be balanced; a positive spirit, and a willingness to laugh at adversity is required. There will be no 'comping' of the list building rules, but we ask that you not deliberately bring a hectically competitive list. Please use your judgement. You don't have to have fully painted armies, although it would be nice, but please only use fully assembled models.
