How the event runs:

The tournament will use the the Swiss Pairs system, games will be scored as follows:

Win = 3 Tournament points
Draw = 1 Tournament point
Loss = 0 Tournament points

  • If you complete your game within the time limit you & your opponent will each receive 1 additional tournament point.
  • Each round your Tournament points & your Victory Points will be recorded and a running total will be kept. This will be used to separate players who are on equal tournament points.
  • Soft Scores will no longer be used. Instead any unpainted models or models without at least 3 different colours will be removed from the table.
  • Proxies are not allowed to be used.
  • Conversions are welcome, but please make sure your opponent clearly knows what your model is.

Missions and Setup:

  • Each round the Tournament Organiser will announce the mission and setup that will be played.
  • Players should then exchange army lists and talk to their opponent, to make sure both players know what each other is using.
  • Players will then roll off to see who will place the first objective (if any).
  • Then once the objectives have been placed, both players will roll off to determine table sides with the winner of this roll picking their deployment zone. Then the player who didn’t pick their deployment zone then setups their entire army as per the chapter approved update.

Warlords:

Please make sure that your Warlord is clearly marked on your army list.

Psychic Powers:

  • Please make sure you have any psychic powers you are using clearly on your list.
  • Also in the interest of fair play and avoiding confusion, especially in psychic heavy armies, all psykers must cast all their powers before moving on to a different psyker.

Command Points:

Rule Disputes:

  • If during your game you and your opponent can’t agree on something please consult the rulebook or GW’s FAQ’s before calling a referee.
  • If both players can’t agree then call the referee over, however remember that the referee’s decision is final.
