The Fate of Konor Campaign has begun!

Hobbies

Add a comment By David

Galaxy in Flames: Fate of Konor is Games Workshop's global campaign this summer to coincide with the release of Warhammer 40,000 8th Edition. GW fans will be no strangers to big global campaigns and many of us here in the office have fond memories of the glory days of the massive Armageddon and Eye of Terror campaigns of yesteryear.

Over 6 weeks, players will battle to defend or to destroy Konor, a crucial Forge World in the Realm of Ultramar. Konor could be a pillar upon which a resurgent Imperium of Man could stand or if it falls, a rotting, rusted nail in the coffin of an already faltering empire.

How to get involved

There are many ways for you to contribute to the war effort, from playing and winning games through to collecting and painting new units and armies.
