Warhammer 40,000
Badab War Campaign Pack
Introduction
To celebrate Forgeworld’s
release of the Badab War Imperial
Armour books, The Games Shop is
planning what is hoped to be the first
two of many campaign weekends.
Days of intense Warhammer gaming
with the emphasis firmly on narrative
rather than competitive play.
This pack is intended to explain
how you can take part, what benefits
you get for signing up and how the
days will be run.
The Badab War
The Badab War was one of the
grimmest periods of the Imperium’s
history. A time when humanity’s finest
turned against one another bloody civil
war. This campaign gives you a
chance to recreate those dark days
and participate in brutal boarding
assaults and epic sieges, perhaps
even altering the course of Imperial
history.
How to Take Part
The campaign will be run at the
Games Shop in Aldershot over two
weekends. You can buy tickets
individually, for a weekend or for the
entire campaign. Prices are as follows;
1 Day Ticket £18
Weekend Ticket £30
Campaign Ticket £50

When you sign up you will
need to declare whether you are
intending to side with the Loyalist
Faction or the Secessionist Faction
and which force you are intending to
use. The factions are explained in
more detail later in this pack. To
ensure sides are evenly matched there
are only limited numbers of each
faction, so book early to avoid
disappointment.

four days as follows;
Day 1 – Shadows of War
Saturday 8th January 2011
