Starting February 1st, 2014!

Eight Epic players will battle it out for supremacy! Who will win?

The Factions:

Space Marines
Blood Angels (Xenocidal Maniac)
Space Wolves

Imperium of Man
Steel Legion (esadous)
Adeptus Mechanicus PDF (ClassicL)

Xenos
Ghazkull's Horde (stoobaca)
Biel-tan Eldar (frenrik)

Chaos
Lost and the Damned (SgtShellback)
Iron Warriors (Volrath)

Eight games, with each player going up against each other once, and division mates battling twice. The winner of each division advances to single elimination playoff.

PDF of the rules package I wrote up attached! (Please note, I borrowed a bunch of pics that are not mine just for eye candy - I do not claim ownership in any way, shape, or form and this is strictly for non-commercial use - if this is not kosher, let me know and I will take it down)

Watch this space for updates!

THERE IS ONLY WAR!

Cool, thanks. I took a look. Very interesting, and I do like them. However, the system is a little more complex than I would like. I think over the course of the eight games, it should be pretty apparent just from the W/L record who should move on and who shouldn't. Thanks for the suggestion, though. It's a great site with a lot of good resources.

The smack talk is heating up!

+++The Imperium of man offers you all this one chance to submit yourselves to summary execution!

My regiments will return order to this world! By edict of the High Lords of Terra, who speak for the most holy Emperor of Mankind, I will cleanse this planet from the taint of xenos and heretics and assume governorship of this world! All hail Duke Atreus!+++

The Blood Angels have declared martial law and will be commanding all Imperial operations on this planet. Duke Atreus, report to sector 114.316 for processing and interrogation immediately. Upon satisfactory screening, you will submit your forces to our command and be summarily relieved of all leadership duties for the duration of the campaign. You have 24 hours to comply. Failure will result in your immediate termination.

With Regards,
Lieutenant Demetrios, 2nd Company

Nuts!

Cousins of the Blood Angels:

This planet is under the Aegis of the Vlka Fenryka. Your forces will stand down. Your vessels are to immediantly head out-system. Any deployment to the surface will be in direct violation of the All-Fathers wishes. If you land you will be labeled Traitoris Extremis and be considered Justified Targets. Remember well the Fates of the Second and Eleventh Legions.

To all other forces in the system:

The Wolves of Fenris have been unleased upon you. Die well.

++Translation Machine Spirit Activation++
++Message Begins++

We have received the transmissions from the squabbling forces laying false claim to this world and have only one response. The forces of the Arcgmagos Dominus have come seeking the ancient technologies that rightfully belong to the Omnissiah and will not be waylaid nor given orders by any but the Archmagos. Any who stand in the way of the rightful search for the blessed Archeotech will be subject to extreme violence and removal from the path the Omnissiah has laid out.

You have been warned.

++Message Ends++

-Begin Transmission-

To the Space Wolves:

Cousins,

Despite my council to immediately pursue satisfaction for your insolence, our Lord Commander, in his wisdom, pointed out that given your chapter's notorious fondness for mead, you must be in your cups. Lord Commander Dante sends his regards and looks forward to your immediate and unconditional apology once you awaken from your drunken stupor. It would be entirely regrettable to have to relive the events of planet Twilight III.

With Regards,
Lieutenant Demetrios

To the Adeptus Mechanicus:

We will not be sharing our schematics for our proprietary Lucifer pattern engines. Instructions have been passed down to all battle brothers to kill the forces of the Adeptus Mechanicus on sight. You have been warned.

To Duke Atreus:

As an Imperial citizen of high-birth, you are entitled to and have been granted a fair and expeditious trial. After a thorough and just review of the evidence, you have been found guilty, declared Traitorus Extremis, and sentenced to death in absentia. Surrender yourself for execution of your sentence or all of the men under your command will likewise be destroyed. The wrath of the Blood Angels is swift and merciless.
