Tempest of War
The final muster of 2026. Three battles, one day, and the Chaos Gods are watching.
Tempest returns as our final event of the 2026 calendar. Each year the tournament is sponsored by the Chaos Gods themselves, adding unique twists and missions to the game. This is by no means a competitive RTT, but a fun event with random rules and outcomes to truly test any 40k General.
Generals having suffered at the hands of Tzeentch, Nurgle and last year Slaanesh, now have to wait and see what the Blood God has in store for them!
It’s the only tournament with a 4th place trophy, one which Ray the TO can never win! Custom dice, tokens and maybe even a bear will be available to all generals that attend this event.

Painting
All players should attempt to have their forces painted to a Battle Ready standard. Those that are not considered fully Battle Ready will not gain the 10 Victory Points for it at the beginning of the battle.
Conversions and proxies
Conversions must be a similar size to the original, on the correct base, with weapons clearly represented. Unsure? Email us photos before the event.
Key considerations FOR CONVERSIONS AND PROXY MODELS are:
- Conversions should be of an appropriate size for the rules used (i.e. not using a Rhino chassis for a Land Raider)
- Base size should be those detailed in the Base Size Guide found in the latest Chapter Approved Tournament Companion
- Weapons modelled should be consistent in appearance (i.e. all lascannons should look the same) across the army.
If in any doubt or if your army is highly converted, and to avoid any potential issues at the time of the event, please email the club with any questions and pictures of examples ahead of the event, so the event organiser can provide a ruling .
What to bring
- Your painted army and a copy of your list

Conduct
Thankfully we’ve never had issues at our events but any harassment, bullying, poor sportsmanship or unpleasant behaviour will not be tolerated. We hope that any issues would be resolved between players at the table but if you feel uncomfortable or unable to resolve issues, please inform a TO as soon as possible.
The TO will usually provide a warning and guidance on what needs changing. If this warning is not heeded, or in cases of serious deviations from expected standards of behaviour, the TO may force a player to withdraw from the event and venue. Such decisions are at the TO’s complete discretion and are final on the day.
