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.
