Siege of Worlds League Rules

Be sure to register for the league if you'd like to join in this epic 8 week event!

You can register by emailing wh40kleague@gmail.com with your name, contact information and the Army you'll be playing.

Siege of Worlds: Introduction

Greetings Commanders. War is upon us and you are called to bring down the fury of your armies in the Siege of Worlds Campaign!

Siege of Worlds is an 8 week Narrative League beginning on April 19th and taking place at Cape Fear Games. Throughout the course of the campaign, the fate of a sector will shift between powerful forces and whole planets will be protected, enslaved or even consumed in the wake of war!

Getting Started

- Players need to select a single army from the Warhammer 40k line and will need the most current version of their rules. The game is in its 7th edition and the Narrative League will be using this edition as well.

- Players will need to register for the league by emailing their name, contact information and chosen army to wh40kLeague@gmail.com. Players will then receive a personalized message with their initial orders and their reasons for being drawn to the conflict in the Merovingian Sub-Sector.

Players should hang on to this email as they'll be submitting all game results this way!




Why We Fight?

The Siege of Worlds Campaign is designed to be accessible to both new players and veterans of the game alike. It is intended to create a larger player base in our area and to promote a healthy group who enjoys the game, the hobby and the community. Hopefully, it will act as the herald for new and exciting Warhammer 40k tournaments and events in the future!

As the only reward for the league is the experience, players are encouraged to make the game as enjoyable as they can for everyone and to stray away from lists that are blatantly abusive or utilize "spamming" undercosted units to ensure victory. While I have no intention of acting as the list police, I wanted to at least make a note on this.

Above all else, conduct yourself with integrity and play each game with a friendly attitude and sportsmanship!

Siege of Worlds: Rules Changes and Errata


A group of us are still play testing and looking over the league rules to make sure they run as smoothly as possible when it kicks off in April. While no major changes are planned, small changes make take place in the course of the next few weeks. All changes will be noted and players made aware of any adjustments to the rules. Changes on the official rules document will be made in red text for reference.


1. In the Base Hero statline, in the Wargear section, the Custom Ranged Weapon has been changed from Type: Rapid Fire to Type: Assault 2 to make him/her more flexible in combat and better suited to join both ranged and melee focused units.

2. In the original document, both Lords of War and allies were not allowed until the 1350 point level. This has been changed to allow allies at 1000 points as long as they follow the Battle-Forged guidelines and are Battle Brothers and Allies of Convenience only! Lords of War are still not allowed until 1350 pts tier.
