The Fate of Draytonius Prime

Draytonius Prime stands on the brink of annihilation. An immense invasion force has descended upon the world, opposed by defenders determined to hold it at any cost.

The weekend forms one connected narrative campaign between two enormous opposing forces. One team will become the Attackers, seeking to conquer Draytonius Prime, while the other becomes the Defenders, fighting to drive the invasion back.

Everyone begins with the Clash of Might mission on Saturday. The result of that battle determines the strategic situation and the mission played on Sunday:

• Attackers’ Solid Victory: Stand to the Last
• Attackers’ Minor Victory: Storm the Breach
• Draw: Clash of Might
• Defenders’ Minor Victory: Collapsing Lines
• Defenders’ Solid Victory: The Mighty Fallen

Sunday’s final battle will decide whether Draytonius Prime falls to the invading armies or remains in the hands of its defenders.

About Our Apocalypse Weekend

This isn’t a conventional tournament. It is a huge, collaborative Warhammer 40,000 experience in which every player contributes to the fate of Draytonius Prime.

Two teams will command a combined 30,000 points across enormous linked battlefields. Teammates share each phase, coordinate their plans and fight towards a common result, with the outcome of Saturday’s battle directly shaping Sunday’s decisive mission.

The Apocalypse rules include special multiplayer adaptations designed to keep enormous games moving. Independent actions can be resolved simultaneously, teammates coordinate their phases and the two sides alternate during key parts of the battle.

MMG is a warm, welcoming venue, and the emphasis throughout the weekend will be on spectacle, teamwork, memorable moments and the shared story—not individual tournament rankings.
