AGAINST THOSE DARK POWERS: A Horus Heresy Doubles Event
A 3000pt 4 game narrative doubles event, where the Sigilite's forces clash against cultists of the dark powers.
Welcome to Against Those Dark Powers; a Warhammer: The Horus Heresy Narrative Event. This pack is designed to give you all the information you need to play some great games of Heresy on 14th/15th November 2026 in Nottingham. Within we’ll cover the format, army creation rules and restrictions, the background of the narrative for the weekend and information about the venue and timings on the day.
In Against Those Dark Powers you and your doubles partner will play 4 games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. There will be an optional Saturday night “megagame” “The Assault on Castle Hedregar”
This event will focus on a conflict between an alliance of mighty warriors gathered by the Imperium, who are attempting to best a cabal of sorcerers attempting to materialise demons onto the world of Murandee VI.
Each player will bring a 1500pt force as part of a 3000pt doubles force. Each Loyalist team will be led by an Agent of the Sigilite (see below), and each Traitor team will be led by a Cultist of the Empyrean (see below). Missions will often require special actions or heroic endeavours by your character.
This is not a competitive event. We’re best known for running the Goonhammer Open Heresy Events for the past 3 years. We’re all about narrative forward events and play experiences filled with spectacle, and you should plan accordingly. Aim to bring something fun and interesting and not something overtuned and competitive. In fact, there’ll be no personal awards for winning the most games or highest VP. With that said, do be aware that you may end up facing any kind of army and plan accordingly.
