At the end of the day, though he’s been ferried through hell on a ship that’s ten thousand years old to some godforsaken, war-torn rock; though he is one of ten million men and women snatched from his home-world to fight a war he barely understands; though he wages war against a devouring hive-mind, ravenous demons and hordes of hyper-advanced aliens with strange technologies and sorcery he never dreamed existed; no one will remember his sacrifice. All he will earn is a shallow, unmarked grave on a forgotten world untold light-years from home.
Yet for all this thankless sacrifice a Guardsman is a man, just like you. He has no millennia-old genetic engineering, no prophetic leader, no miracles of faith. He has his lasgun, his orders, and those beside him. He is an Imperial Guardsman.
And he will hold the line.

Missions

Planetary War
Registered players will be drafted by Team Captains to form 2 opposing teams – Red Team and Blue Team.
You’ll be waging war against the opposing team on this map:
The map is divided into “Sectors” demarcated by the white lines. Teams wrest for control over sectors, and are rewarded at the end of each week based on how well they have held each sector.
Each sector is tied to a game-type and points value:
- The Periphery: Kill Team
- Adrantis: 500 points Casual
- Markayn Marches: 1,000 points Casual
- Josian Reach: 1,250 points Casual
- Golgenna Reach: 1,500 points Casual
- Malfian Sub-Sector: 1,750 points Competitive
- Drusus Marches: 2,000 points Casual
- Hazeroth: 2,000 points Competitive
Each game win gives your team a planet in the sector of the game-type played. If a sector is full, you remove one of your opponent’s team’s planets instead.
When you capture a planet in a sector, if the opposing team has three or more planets more than your team in that sector, you capture two planets instead.
Players can play people from the same team, but you will not get to claim any planets in that sector.
Points System
You can earn Campaign Points as follows:
1v1 Matches
- 1 Campaign Point for playing.
- 1 Campaign Point if the game is at least 1,500 points, and 1 more Campaign Point if the game is at least 2,000 points.
- 1 Campaign Point for winning the match.
- 1 Campaign Point for playing a member of the opposing team.
Boss Fights
- 5 Campaign Points for playing
- 1 Campaign Point for meeting boss condition
- 1 Campaign Point for winning the boss
- Bosses will earn the full 7 Campaign Points just for playing regardless of whether they won or lost.
Planetary War
- In every Sector, for each planet that a team has over the opposing team, 1 Campaign Point is awarded to each team member at the end of each week (counted after the last game on Sunday).
- For example, if Red Team has 3 planets in Josian Reach and Blue Team has 1, each Red Team member earns 2 Campaign Points. Then we count again and award points for The Periphery, Adrantis, etc. until all Sectors have been accounted for.
Rewards
- The $2 table charge goes into a prize pool.
- Prizes will be awarded at end of the 4-week period.
- Top 3 players (in terms of Campaign Points) get 60% of the combined pot, in store credits.
- Players ranked 4-8th will get 40% of the pot, in store credits.
