2010 warhammer-empire summer campaign
« on: December 24, 2009, 01:14:14 PM »
Treachery and Greed

The third warhammer-empire online campaign

"Mercenaries are disunited, thirsty for power, undisciplined, and disloyal; they are brave among their friends and cowards before the enemy; they have no fear of god, they do not keep faith with their fellow men; they avoid defeat just so long as they avoid battle; in peacetime you are despoiled by them, and in wartime by the enemy."

The year is 2203, and the various warring states that make up Sigmar's Glorious Empire have settled into an exhausted peace. But thousands of mercenaries still fill the land, and everywhere there is pillage and death.

With the collapse of the Marienburg Alliance, the Tilean states have again turned upon each other. Proud Remas, the remnant of an ancient empire, faces the expanding naval power of Miragliano. In Sartosa, the pirate prince gathers his war fleet. These three greater powers dominate their neighbors and seek each other's destruction.

All three hire vast armies of mercenaries, little realising the horrors they will unleash on their own people. And all the while, greenskins raise their ragged banners and build ramshackle ships.


- Fight for profit and glory in Tilea and the Border Princes! Support Remas, Miragliano or Sartosa, or join with the raiding forces of the Badlands.

- Strike a balance between personal greed and the needs of your comrades.  Each player will obtain personal gold through conquest, but will depend upon the support of their fellow faction members to succeed. Bribe and betray your rivals. Assassinate princes, extort kings, and carve out your own realms. Gain titles and honors, for as long as you are strong enough to defend them!

- Expect all the features of the Crisis in Marienburg campaign to return, including a detailed map, extensive background, and special campaign army lists.

- If you can't play games of Warhammer, you can still participate by submitting 'fluff reports'- short stories that can be as valuable as victories on the gaming table.


The campaign begins in summer 2010. More information will be on the way soon.

Nice idea! Will we have new armylists for each faction just as we had for the old Crisis in M. campaign? I would personally like a Sartosa armylist, but I will wait to see what you guys come up with.

I know mine will be built with a mercenary future in mind...

Of course, I probably won't have more than 500-750 points by the time this starts, but...

Well, if you situate a campaign in the Tilean region, you should eventually expect a few Skaven to pop up. *grins*... :icon_mrgreen: I've copied the first post and made a topic on this campaign at UE.net.

Well there won't be an individual faction for skaven players to join, their attendance in A4 taught us there aren't enough!

How long ago was that? They did just get a new book so there ought to be a larger number than usual out there.

A4 started perhaps the same week as the Skaven book came out?

Seems the big campaign attenders are W-E, DWP and Roundtable.

It is not Empire specific, there will be campaign army lists as well which would even let you combine Brets and Empire.

On thing in examining skaven players is that they are running their own campaign right now.... As a result I would estimate that more players would come it their campaign wasn't running... The collapse of the Dark Pact was more a result of lack of CD not showing up rather then skaven players not showing up...

You do realise that this will be a summer campaign? So correct me if I'm wrong, but if we take a look at the CiM campaign, that would give them 5-6 months to finish their campaign.

Indeed, they should be home and have dried their fur well in time for summer.

I better get starting on my Ulrician Independent company. Sponsored by the Church of Ulric but when not needed back home they sell their services abroad. The Red wolves of Ulric.

The UE campaigns are slower paced and can last a long, long time. It's entirely possible that they won't be done by summer.

Looks good guys, I'll be there with Da Ghostz, Viera too.

Or, perhaps, you failed to find us... :icon_mrgreen: (Oh, I couldn't resist that one).

No, I will admit that from out of the UnderEmpire.net community, we showed up with few members, compared to earlier campaigns. In the year(s) after the Storm of Chaos, we had quite a good 'campaign promotion team' that managed to rally quite a few people for a single cause in a campaign. (An example of this would be the Intersite campaign, which had seen a lot less Skaven members, weren't it for a few that really brought a large gathering with them). Then again, we also have a few members that simply can't resist not signing up for an online campaign.

If Skaven aren't a 'playable race' in the campaign, then the debate is quickly ended. However, I played as (the only) Skaven in the Ghost Fang Waaagh! during the Animosity 4 campaign, due to the background of my character in that campaign, which is a Skaven Pi-Rat that has a mixed crew of Skaven and Goblins. (Based on the fact that I play quite a bit with my Underworld team in the Blood Bowl league I am a member of)... When signing up for the GFW, I had mentioned this to the GMs and they decided to allow me in the GFW. Otherwise, I would have ended up with the Dark Pact and evil or not, you don't sign my clan(s) up in a faction with a beard-thing. ;)

Still, this is all something for the campaign team to ponder on.
