After many, many years of just lining up the troops and bashing each other in unrelated 40K games, my buddy Pat and I have begun running campaigns. If you're new to 40K, it may seem inconceivable to you that you can get tired of "just" playing, but it happens. The main rulebook has a very good section about campaigns, and if you haven't considered running one, I strongly suggest you do. 

Campaigns usually involve some kind of storyline and often encourage long-range thinking ("Do I move my main army into that mountain pass and reach the city in three days? Or do I take the safe route around the mountains and reach it in seven?") If done well, campaigns can become very engrossing and the final battles can each become as important and gripping as the Super Bowl.

Take a look at some of the campaigns my friend Pat and I have created. You'll have a better understanding of some of the campaigns' setup if you spare a minute to get some background on the Fighting Tigers and the world of Veda.

Warhammer 40K is a constantly-evolving game, with Games Workshop publishing new rules and army books every few years. The campaigns in this section were written during the 3rd and 4th Editions of the game. Some references might not be relevant under the current rules.
