Warhammer 40,000 Releases 4 Event Companions, Adding 3 Terrain Layouts per Mission

3 articles · Updated · warhammer-community.com · Jun 12

Summary

  • Four downloadable Event Companions are now live for the new Warhammer 40,000 edition, splitting guidance into a main tournament guide plus separate Doubles, Team and Dominatus documents.
  • Three terrain layouts now accompany each mission, and players must lock in one Force Disposition for an entire event when submitting army lists, creating a fixed pool of five primary missions to prepare for.
  • Doubles events get first-time dedicated rules on two-army interactions, while Games Workshop said a coming Muster Army update will clarify that a single detachment can be used at 1,000 points even if it exceeds normal Detachment Points.
  • Team events add roster limits and pairing mechanics — only 1 player per 5 can take each Force Disposition, and teams secretly choose Defenders and Attackers before matchups and layout selection.
  • Next week, mission layouts are due in the Warhammer 40,000 app; the guides also support upcoming Opens in Tacoma, Newport and Kraków, with Tacoma expected to draw more than 500 players in July.
