Chronocade Age of Sigmar Shop Campaign: Soul Wars
Narrative
In the aftermath of the Necroquake the souls of the dead flooded the mortal realms with terror and fell magic. The legions of Chaos are being beaten back across the realms by the ghosts of the mortals they murdered in life. Shyish groans and shifts as the Nadir, Nagash's super weapon and new seat of power, bores into the realm's core, dragging land, sea, friend and foe into the pit.
The lands of Shyish are underworlds and afterlives for the souls who believed in them. The land is shaped by faith in life by imagination and belief to eventually house the souls that crafted it. Mortals that lived there made lives of peace and prosperity before Nagash was revived. But now Chaos grinds the realm underfoot as daemons and the dead battle endlessly.
In the past some mortals would visit their dead ancestors in Shyish. Now that those graveyards have become battlefields, many fear death even more. The mortals in Shyish are now fighting back and gaining ground as the Nadir grinds on. Some take up arms to protect the souls of their ancestors, the land of their afterlife, and if they cannot be saved then perhaps they can be moved?
The main points of entry to Shyish for mortals is through Ulgu the Realm of Shade, the Savage Realm of Ghur and the Fire Realm of Aqshy.
Theme
Realm of Battle: Shyish, The Realm of Death (Core Book pg 254)
Armies: Armies will use Pitched Battle Points and require at least 1 Warscroll Battalion, do not use the Pitched Battle Chart. One allied unit can be taken for every four other units.
Campaign Points: A battle earns points that are used to drive the story and events of the campaign. 1 campaign point is earned for every 500 points go the battles' size (ex: a 2000p game would be worth 4CPs). Winning a Major Victory in a battle grants a bonus of +50% CPs rounding up.
Mission Rewards: At the end of each Mission week, CPs are tallied by Grand Alliance. The GA with the most CPs earns a reward that will apply in the next Mission week.
Chapter Rewards: At the end of each Chapter month, CPs are tallied by GA with consideration for Mission Rewards. The GA with the most CPs earns a reward that will apply in the next Chapter month.
Schedule
This campaign will be made up of X Chapters to be held on alternating months. Each Chapter is made up of 4 Missions, one for each week of that month, always beginning on a Sunday. The time in between chapters will be spent on the shop 40k campaign and should give AoS players time to build up and prepare for the next chapter.
Currently planning for September and November 2018. Potential plans for 2019 will have to wait.
