This is the first in our series of Phyrix Froday posts! The series is going to document and share the progress from the Taking of Phyrix team as we build towards the Spires of Dolos Prime at Adepticon 2025! These posts are going to high light tables, rules, and show you guys a little bit of what we are busy doing.

Today's update is about Zone Mortalis!! We brought ZM to Adepticon last year for the first time, and we are excited to say it's coming back again this year! We have separate morning and afternoon sessions, so over 120+ slots over the entire event! Additionally, we are building all new tables for the daytime sessions. This table is the first two of the set. The base kit is from Wargame Model Mods! It's two 4x4 tables on a unified tile set! Custom missions have been designed, and initial assembly is now done. Next up will be detail work and weathering. What do you guys think?

ATTENTION LEGION COMMANDERS!!!! The Taking of Phyrix is finally able to announce that we will be bringing the Taking of Phyrix narrative campaign back to Adepticon for 2025!!! The war for Saratan IV now stands resolved (for the time being) and we shift to a new front in the Phyrix system at the Spires of Dolos Prime! For those uninitiated the Taking of Phyrix campaign began all the way back 2016. This continuous narrative has grown from regional events in the Midwest to one of the largest narrative experiences you can have in the Horus Heresy! For our third year at Adepticon, we will have been blessed to expand our events to fit even more players this year! Daytime events will have fully linked narrative games at both 3000pt Frontline and 1500pt Zone Mortalis! Every player has an opportunity to affect the story and help control sections of Dolos Prime! At night, BROADSIDE! or MEGA ZM BATTLE returns for another year! Last year you jumped ship to ship, this year you’re fighting over something a little bigger! No spoilers here but know that is something you don’t wanna miss!

I also want to remind everyone that we have several narrative mechanics overlaid on the base HH game. This includes Points of Interest, NPCs, and most importantly the Phyrix Character Forge! The Phyrix Character Forge will help you create a custom leader for your army that reflects the current narrative of the story and lets you tailor that to fit your army’s narrative. All of these systems combine to allow us to tell the best narrative story we can and create dynamic games with shifting objectives and opportunities. Information for our systems and general guidelines can be found in Phyrix Campaign Supplement. This along with our fully voice-acted narrative segments, and links to our amazing Discord channel are available via our website. Please join the discussion and hype as we work towards another amazing year at Adepticon 2025!

Live from the Ashes of Saratan event at the Texas Open.... Reports of worm drones among the ruins of Saratan have become more and more common as the war on the surface has expanded. Both sides have commited thier largest engines of war towards the central section of the Hive complex. As the sides begin to engage, the mega structures and buildings of the hab district begin to shake. The ground erupts. In a hail of dust, concrete, and debris, a gargantuan engine of Phyrix rises. Sent to silence a planet that dared to rebel against the Phyrix Council. A World Reclamation Machine, (W. R. M.) a heretical engine designed to feed on and collect the reusable resources to stoke the Forges of the home world. Unknown ages have passed while it slumbered beneath the skeleton of the city above. It rises now to feed, To fight, To purge, to punish.

ANNOUNCING OUR NEXT EVENT! The Ashes of Saratan IV is a 3 Day Horus Heresy Narrative Event in Grapevine, TX on Aug 23rd-25th. It is the culmination of this year's campaign and is the final chapter of the story that began with the Ruins of Saratan IV at Adepticon 2024. Join us to unleash your Legion (or Taghmata, or Cohort) on the surface and in orbit to decide the fate of Saratan IV. Each game will influence the next and there will be plunder to be found and carried throughout the weekend. For those interested in the ongoing narrative, it has been fully voice-acted and is available at https://linktr.ee/phyrix

Tickets available at https://www.texasopen.org/

We have a variety of add-on systems that will be in play and can be found in the campaign supplement at https://linktr.ee/phyrix

The only additional restrictions are there are no models with the unique type allowed in this event, we have created a system called the Character Forge, which allows players to craft their own special characters and tell an engaging story about why they are trapped in the Phyrix Cluster. These rules can be found in the campaign supplement at https://linktr.ee/phyrix
There will be some balance changes to the systems we will be using in the coming months. We will have the final versions out 1 month before the event date.

These models are less a stand-in for your power-armored super humans, than a great resource and inspiration for narrative-based game play. We are hoping to bring many of your favorite Characters and Objectives to your next game table through this collection.
