Warhammer - The Wheel of Time

In the grim darkness of the 41st Millenium something has gone horribly wrong..... A Warp flare has reached from the Eye of Terror to the far reaches of the solar system, threatening Holy Terra herself.... Is this aberration the evil Magic of Abaddon the Despoiler, or is it Archaon, Lord of End Times latest coming? Or did we mix up our rule books and miniature cases again?

... No we aren't insane... Bear with us for a moment....

To keep in line with the fluffy, themed nature of this years Faux Con, this is a tourney with a difference. The challenge, combine the best of the Fantasy and 40k universes into a combined arms force to beat all comers.
