Bekrin is a Cardinal World and the religious capital of the Ecclesiarchy covering much of what was the Canis Salient in the Jericho Reach. Its population was forced to evacuate the planet to escape the approaching Tyranid Hive Fleet, and though the Hive Fleet was turned aside before they reached Bekrin, the world was never resettled.

Within the nearby Class III Warp disturbance known as “The Hadex Anomaly” the many forces of Chaos have been gathering. Although these forces were unable to unite under a single Warlord they have launched a massive attack into Jericho Reach itself. Perhaps because they are not a single unified force, the smaller warbands have slipped through the Imperial defences and are attacking the outer worlds. Several of these warbands have decided that Bekrin is ripe for the taking. What better world to give them a foothold in this sector than an uninhabited former Shrine World?

Jericho Reach

Local Deathwatch intel has allowed the Imperium to start scrambling a defence. The distress call for all available forces to respond to the Chaos threat on Bekrin has been sent. Hopefully that will be enough to repel the invasion and return the Chaos Horde back into the Hadex Anomaly.

The Tournament Organizer will be splitting players into two teams, Attackers (Chaos) and Defenders (Order). Before round 1, team leaders should be chosen. In rounds where Players are allowed to pick their own tables, team leaders will have 10 minutes to submit a list of player names and table assignments. If the 10 minute limit is reached, players will be assigned tables by the Tournament Organizer.

Prizes will be distributed to the winning team. The players on the winning team will also get a yet to be determined bonus when starting the upcoming 40k Campaign.
