The poor planet of Menazoid Epsilon has been at war for over a century. Due to its location along the Cicatrix Maledictum it is a prime prize due to its active forge world as well as its formidable defenses. Currently the imperium barely holds their grip on the planet as all other forces consistently break on its defenses.

The Chaos forces, with 13 ruinous sorcerers coming together to turn the gaze of the chaos gods towards their latest conquest. Now the planet is covered in an intense warpstorm, and all contact to the outside imperium has been silenced.

This game of Apocalypse will follow the standard 10^th edition rules, including the latest FAQs and erratas. There will be 4 rounds each with each turn being timed to ensure the entire game is played.  Each player will need to construct a legal 2,000 point army. Players are also allowed to bring extra superheavy vehicles and monsters such as Knights, titans, and their xenos equivalents in addition to this 2,000 point list. Please make sure the army that you plan to bring is sensible and you can get through your turn at a reasonable rate. Sensible proxies are allowed but must follow the correct base size for what they’re portraying and should be close to the size of what they represent.

Each Monster and vehicle that is destroyed during the first battle round is not removed from the table when it loses its last wound. Instead, it is removed at the end of the first battle round. It counts as being at 1 wound remining for any wound modifiers.

At the beginning of each round both teams will roll a D6 and combine them to consult the Warpstorm table below. This Warpstorm effect will apply to every model on the table until the start of the next battle round

Warpstorm table
2 – 3: Flesh made weak: All units on the board suffer a -1 to their save roll.
4 – 5: Unstable environment: All units (excluding aircraft) on the board suffer a -2 to their movement and charge rolls.

6 - 8: The Warp settles: No effect this round.
9 – 10: Melting Reality: No units can receive the benefits of cover.
11 – 12: Twisting Landscapes: All ranged weapons cannot be fired outside of 36 inches. (excludes titanic weapons.)

There will be 5 sites of power on the table to serve as objectives. If an objective is under your control a character can attempt to gain the favor of the gods by performing the action below.
