What is each alliance trying to do on this planet?

Are they trying to protect or destroy something?

What will happen if they succeed or fail?

TAKE IT FURTHER Once you have created your narrative, use a blank piece of paper or computer to create either a map showing the landscape and the strategic locations being fought over, or a poster related to your narrative - such as an Imperium propaganda poster. If your narrative is chosen, your map or poster will be re-created by a Games Workshop Graphic Designer into a poster that everyone will get to take home at the end of the event!

When creating your narrative use the hints to help you generate ideas and strengthen your story. You could also use your Kill Team Core Manual as inspiration for each of the sections and to research the different factions. Use this page to make notes then complete the full narrative using any format you choose. Once completed, give your narrative and map/poster to your club leader to send to the Warhammer Alliance team.
