We’re excited to announce our annual club 40k Crusade!
The Warhammer 40k “Armageddon” box for the 11th Edition of the game is released on 20th June. Inside that box, in addition to the shiny new minis, is the Dominatus deck, which we’ll be using this year as part of our narrative 40k campaign.
We’ll also be using the campaign map from the war-torn Vespator Front, as featured in 500 Worlds: Titus. This will set the scene for our campaign, and display all of the systems our players will be fighting over as our Crusade progresses.
As of right now, sign-up is officially open on our club Discord, so here’s the key dates that you’ll need to know:
| Sign-up Opens | Monday 1st June 2026 |
| Faction & Narrative Submission Deadline | Saturday 1st August 2026 |
| Crusade Launch | Monday 13th August 2026 |
| Crusade Finale | Thursday 3rd December 2026 |
Before the Crusade begins, all of our players will be assigned to one of three factions – the Liberators, the Oppressors, and the Raiders. The army you choose, along with your chosen narrative, will help determine your Crusade faction.
You’ll notice we’ve also created a deadline for ‘narrative submission’. This is your chance to tell us how your chosen Warlord and/or force fits into the wider Crusade narrative. Generally speaking, players will be assigned to one of our three factions automatically, based on the army they choose to bring. If, however, you have a really cool story, or want to explain why your Warlord / army should be aligned elsewhere, then we’re all for it. Just submit your narrative reasons on the Discord and we’ll take them into account when drawing up the factions.
All you need to do right now, if you’re interested, is sign up in the newly created #crusade-signup channel on Discord. Just let us know that you are joining in and what faction you’re planning to bring, and we’ll start working out the rest.
All of our Crusade games will be played at 1200-2000 points, but there’s no upper limit if you want to have a bigger force in reserve.
Once the Crusade is underway, factions will duke it out across the Vespator Front, establishing their own stronghold before expanding to claim new territories and build their own infrastructure. To enable this, every player will control their own fleet, but the true test will be whether they work together, or strike out on their own for wrath and glory!
With the combination of a brand new edition and fresh Crusade mechanics, we’re hoping this will be the best Crossfire Crusade yet. So what are you waiting for?
Sign up in the Crossfire Discord and start assembling your forces!
