Horus Heresy Narrative Event @Orktoberfest, Brisbane October 2014


Calling all Heresy players in the Brisbane, Australia area. This years Orktoberfest will be running a Horus Heresy narrative event, ran by yours truly.



My local club, The Queensland Gamers Guild asked me to gauge the interest from the community in running a Horus Heresy event at this years Orktoberfest. So I went to my heresy hangout of choice, the Heresy 30K forums, where I know many Australians frequent and the response was encouraging!

Long story short, I have ended up organising the whole thing myself.


Battle for Cambrius Minor

In the wake of Horus' treachery on Istvaan V, Systems have been declaring outright for either Horus or the Emperor, with many system choosing to play the waiting game.

A select few systems have declared independence, hoping the Imperium's internal struggles will keep them pre-occupied. One such system within the Australis Ultima Sector is the Cambrius Sub-Sector. The Governor on Grotto looking to carve his own domain with the galaxy in flames.

Cambrius Minor is a mining planet rich in Admantium and critical to both sides ability to produce Terminator armour and war engines. Horus has redirected several fleets to the area in an effort to secure the planet for his war effort. With the system on the edge of the galaxy, Rogal Dorn is able to re-direct Expedition Fleets to the system.

The battle for Cambrius Minor has begun.
