I went to the largest narrative Warhammer event in the world…

In this video, I attended the largest narrative event ever... and it was amazing!

I was able to attend Games Workshop's Grand Narrative event, which was the largest narrative event ever held. I brought my Tyranids and faced off against many other Warhammer 40k armies.
If you're interested in narrative gaming, then you should definitely check out this event! It was an incredible experience and I'm already looking forward to the next Grand Narrative event.

The imperial priest turning into a Magnus is one of my favorite things about this. Like I wonder if someone suggested that to him or he did that on his own, either way its great.

I’ve been waiting for this video since Skari posted his a few months ago! This event looked amazing, and if MWG hosts something similar, I’m definitely interested.

Heck ya! Narrative events are my niche, and I would love to attend an event of this quality at the bunker. Hook us up MWG!

[@JoeBuildsWarhammer]

I'm so happy you had a good time!! Corbin and I (the plague priest) will be at the Kansas City narrative in June. We both started new armies after seeing them at the grand narrative. He has Astra Militarum, and I have Leagues of Votann. We've been running a local crusade with 6 people, in it, our armies have slowly been becoming reliable comrades. The Astra Militarum lead by an Ordo Maleus inquisitor lead Astra militarum will use any tools to hunt chaos and daemons. Kahl Vukha leads the forces of the Urani-Sutur Regulates, while normally very self reliant, who would pass on the synergy of an allied force to help free up mining routes? In return for helping the USR scrub their system of chaos in June, Vukha will lend her forces to assist the imperium in November. I'll be cosplaying as a Forgemaster (because come on, they are too cool) and Corbin as his inquisitor! I hope we can see you again and I'm insanely happy to hear you are bringing narrative back to MWG. I'm waiting on my passport approval and I'll hopefully be visiting this year.

Great to hear, that the energy and enthusiasm for narrative campaigns are back! Totally feel this as well and I'm already hyped to see of any new great adventure on the table!

[@danielhenderson8000]

I am very jealous of you that you got to go to this event. I wish I had made the trip, but time and money can be a heavy thing. This is a fantastic event to see and I do adore all the effort that went into it. I would adore it if you hosted something similar at MiniWarGaming HQ. I am much closer to you than New Mexico and would be excited to attend, no matter the format! I shall keep my eye out for more awesome narrative wargaming!

[@geteavnroc2250]

[@Tinytraveler]

I love your content, these videos are likely my favorite. You look so happy in your element

It was awesome getting to see you in my stomping grounds! So glad you had fun, and am looking forward to future narrative events!

[@HadoukenHero]

That was a beautiful sentence... Yes i want to win but not at the expense of my opponents enjoyment. Thanks for showing me somthing I would have loved to go to, I'm glad you had as much fun as i would have.

[@steve1170]

Loved everything about this video! Excellent job!

[@bitcoinyoda8321]

They should tell people which units are allowed. Would solve the problem where some people don´t understand that this is not a competition and the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. A GM could also add random events in each battle.

[@danielhall5554]

I have watched this video 3 times this week. I really miss my little gaming group and the community we started years ago at my store. Happy to see you looking to get back into the saddle!

[@miniwargaming]

[@Steinerman1]

Aaaah! So cool that you got to participate :)

[@javi624]

It's great you're concerned about the opponents having a good time and getting enough turns in. I don't know if narrative events are supposed to have less "tournament strength" units comps but people had to know they were going to potentially be going up against the nids who love to rush, so as long as the others played units they enjoy that's ultimately what matters lol

[@thomsonelite]

Such a great video. I keep coming back for more, and I'd love to see an AOS narrative campaign

[@simonsayz3925]

I've never had a chance to play a narrative. But I've just gotten back into building my armies up after a hiatus. There have been a few changes since 3rd edition, so I'll be learning as I go. The Grey knights themselves haven't changed a bit, they're just easier to customize now.

[@TheRealDeadRock]

I have a life goal of someday being involved in organizing an event like this. I have so many cool ideas I want to expand Crusade format with. Things like base management, incorporating Kill Team for special strike missions that influence future larger games. Plotting out territory on a galactic map and having players fight over territory. Creating permanent death conditions for named characters. Having boards that are themed after various locations and biomes that are featured in the events. The ideas flow like a river, and my work capabilities flow like...well not very well.

[@bubbadoom1837]

My dad taught me to play games. He never took it easy on me. Even when I was 5, he played to win. It made me a better player. From cards to chess. That said, I would love a narrative tournament, but if my opponent didn't bring his A game, I'd be very disappointed. Even if that meant I'd be tabled in 2 turns. I don't love losing, but I very much appreciate it when I'm soundly whooped. I learn from it, and become a better player for it.

[@redsolosendyboi3455]

As a new player, I wrote off Crusade Rules because I didn't know that anyone played em. I played my first crusade game earlier in tts and loved it. Now, I think im gonna change my army to better fit my simplistic play style, and I'm absolutely revamped to play more.

[@thashadowspawn]

[@sniperlemming]

This is so cool, i'm hoping to play my first game of the new Kill Team sets Today, my friend and I are going to Stumble through the rules and try and not accidentally cheat too much. I have been collecting armies and building the kill team sets for about 2 years now but i haven;t started playing until today hopefully. I am collecting Tau, Orks, and Space Dwarves for Normal 40K and then i have the first 3 boxes of the New sets of Kill team and i'll get the 4th when it comes out, I'm also getting all the Arks of Omen books so i can play the Campaign once i learn the game properly. This event you're at is my goal, to be able to Run one of my armies in a major narrative event with people, I think i'm probably a year or 2 away from that but i'm excited to start playing the game soon, just need to get a few more things built form the pile of shame and i'll have enough to do some 500 pts arks of Omen games.

My favorite piece of warhammer information is that Warcraft was a game based on Warhammer fantasy straight down to the super big shoulders and cartoony style, then Blizzard had the Idea of making a 40k RTS pitched it and GW passed and with a little tweaking to the Protoss and everything that 40k game became Starcraft and the 3 factions they had in the demo pitch were Terran, Protoss and Zerg so Zerg are literally Tyranids

[@gorganhorn6872]

The Lore of 40k is astonishing. If Henry Cavill and Amazon are true to the lore blessed with proper casting; nary a soul will have dry eyes as they bear witness to the cosmic heights of stupendous drama that only the 40K universe is capable of unleashing.
