By command of Primarch Roboute Guilliman, the ancient empire of the Five Hundred Worlds shall rise anew in the Imperium’s darkest hour. Yet the task that lies before the forces of the Imperium is titanic. Eldritch enemies throng the darkness beyond Ultramar’s borders and, from the twisted insanity of the Warp, embittered exiles and empyric corruption surge forth.
We are excited to announce our 2026 Crossfire Warhammer 40K Campaign Narrative!
Kicking off on the 13th of August, players will join (or oppose) Captain Demetrian Titus in his reclamation of the Five Hundred Worlds. Players will be able to select their chosen faction led by their very own customisable Warlord, thanks to the Crucible of Champions*, and battle it out across the Vespator Front*.
Strategy will be required—both on and off the battlefield— as players deploy and position their forces and fleets on unique worlds and vital supply routes. As the conflict unfolds, the shape of the Front will evolve, as Alliances build and develop their own infrastructure, undertaking operations to sabotage their opponents while building their own strength.
*Don’t worry if you can’t access these resources, the club has a copy of both.

To take part, every player will require a minimum force size of 1200 points, but the option will be there to increase your force size for larger 2000 point games.
Once underway, the Vespator Front campaign will be spread evenly across 6 Phases, allowing Players and Alliances ample opportunity to engage, disengage, position and reposition as the conflict develops.
For this campaign, we have also created an XP-cap and balance mechanic that will ensure all Players are able to progress, regardless of availability.
We’ll leave the reveal there for now, as there’s plenty of time between now and June, and we have a lot more to reveal.
Crossfire Gaming Club meets up in the Cumbernauld Village Hall every Monday & Thursday from 6-10pm.
