Twilight Prince Campaign

Welcome to he Twilight Prince campaign landing page!

This is a slow-grow campaign organised by our local Age of Sigmar community to help people paint their stuff and have fun. It is more competitive than my usual campaigns, but laid-back enough to leave room for some pretty sweet narratives. There are also points to be scored in painting your army units and writing a background for them etc., so lots of extras to add to the points racked up in games themselves!

The idea is that three Skirmish games lead up to a series of regular AoS games, with the Renown and Point maximums increasing with each battle. The games are player in two-week cycles, so each month sees two different scenarios. 

Skirmish

- 40 Renown ✔

- 60 Renown ✔

- 80 Renown ✔

AoS Matched Play

- 750 points ✔

- 1000 points ✔

- 1500 points ✔

- 2000 points ✔

Eventually me and my Freeguild army placed 3rd in the campaign!
