Campaign Structure

Players will be divided into two or three approximately equal Alliances: the Liberators, the Oppressors and, where appropriate, the Raiders.

Each campaign phase introduces a new Location, war-zone rules, Alliance Briefings and Agendas. Winning games helps an Alliance seize control of the Location, while completing Agendas determines which Alliance is in ascendancy.

Victors earn Battle Honours, while other players receive Battle Skills. These upgrades remain available throughout the campaign, allowing each army to develop before the decisive Phase 3 battle.

• Phase 1: Two battles
• Phase 2: Two battles
• Phase 3: One final battle to conclude the campaign

About Our Dominatus Weekend

Dominatus combines matched play with a complete connected narrative campaign. You’ll play five structured 2,000-point games, but your decisions and achievements carry forward as the Alliances compete for control and armies earn upgrades throughout the weekend.

Each campaign phase introduces new war-zone conditions and opportunities to pursue Agendas. Victories matter, but Dominatus also rewards players for pursuing their Alliance’s wider objectives and building their army’s story across all five games.

The campaign culminates in a decisive Phase 3 battle on Sunday afternoon. By then, armies will carry the Battle Honours, Battle Skills and other rewards earned during the preceding four games.

You don’t need to be a tournament veteran to take part. MMG is a warm, welcoming venue, and Dominatus is ideal for players who enjoy matched play but want more narrative flavour, progression and memorable moments than a conventional RTT.
