Battle March - The Chronicles of Skull Island

When: Sunday 13 December 2026

The Chronicles of Skull Island is a special narrative Warhammer: The Old World – Battle March event in which teams of adventurers will compete to uncover the secrets of a mysterious and deadly island.

You’ll land on the shores of Skull Island with a 750-point army before fighting your way inland through a series of linked battles and scenarios. Along the way, you’ll encounter monstrous guardians, rival forces and the many dangers of the island itself.

Every battle will contribute to the unfolding campaign. Your victories, decisions and disasters will shape the story, earn rewards for your team and could provide a crucial advantage in the final confrontation.

This isn’t simply three separate games of Warhammer. You’ll be part of a team working towards the ultimate battle for Skull Island, with opportunities to unlock special campaign rewards and influence the battles still to come.

The emphasis is firmly on narrative gaming, teamwork and creating a memorable Warhammer story—not simply winning the most games.

There will also be plenty of awards celebrating the things that make the hobby great, including Best Player, Best Team Member, Favourite Opponent, Best Coach, Best Painted Army, Best Baggage Train and more.

Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or simply love the idea of creating a great Warhammer story with friends, this is your chance to set foot on Skull Island and discover what fate has in store.

The full event and campaign pack will follow.
