RULES FOR WARHAMMER FANTASY TOURNAMENT:

Rule Books:
The Warhammer Fantasy Eight Edition Rules will be used.

The following is a list of legal army choices:
Warhammer Armies: Bretonnia
Warhammer Armies: Warriors of Chaos
Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Choas
Warhammer Armies: Beastmen
Warhammer Armies: Dark Elves
Warhammer Armies: Dwarfs
Warhammer Armies: Chaos Dwarfs
Warhammer Armies: Empire
Warhammer Armies: High Elves
Warhammer Armies: Lizardmen
Warhammer Armies: Ogre Kingdoms
Warhammer Armies: Orcs & Goblins
Warhammer Armies: Skaven
Warhammer Armies: Tomb Kings
Warhammer Armies: Vampire Counts
Warhammer Armies: Wood Elves

Digital Supplements may not be used in this event.


MODELS AND POINTS:
 
1. Each player must bring an army consisting of 750 points (725 minimum).  Normal Army Comp rules will apply.

2. All models must follow “What You See Is What You Get” (WYSIWYG). All weapons, war gear, and so forth must be represented on the model.  All models must be fully assembled.

3. Pictures of conversions or "counts as" models must be emailed to Chase unless they have previously been approved. Forge World models are allowed where appropriate. This event will not be using Forge World rules.

4. We will require that each participant submits an itemized army list to a Battleground Tournament Organizer on or before Monday, March 3rd (roughly a week before the event).  An Army Builder .pdf is preferred but a detailed, itemized text file (.txt) is acceptable.  PLEASE include the number of points each upgrade and unit costs on your list.

Please email lists to ChaseLaq@gmail.com as soon as they are finalized.

5. If illegal units or other rules violations are found in a player’s army list, at a minimum, the models in violation will be removed from all subsequent play. In addition, tournament points may be deducted and/or award eligibility may be forfeited. If in doubt, please ask for clarification in advance from a Battleground Tournament Organizer.


HOW THE TOURNAMENT WORKS:

• Competitors will participate in FOUR (4) games over the course of the day. In each game, you will play a scenario and record the outcome of the battle on your results sheet. Each round you will play a different opponent.  Each round will last 75 minutes.

• In the first round, players will be matched up randomly. After the first round, players will be matched up according to current rankings in the tournament (e.g., the player in first place will play the player in second place and so on). We will try our best not to pair teams that come to the event together in the first round. If a team receives a BYE they will be awarded the average of the winning teams points for the round.

• You will not play the same player twice.

• The pairings for each round will be announced as soon as they are determined. Please be sure to arrive at your table ready to play right away. We ask that each player be conscious of the time and that you play at a regular and steady pace to complete the game. Anyone found slow playing or deliberately stalling for any reason will be penalized.

• Each game will be played on a 4' x 6' board.

• Players will receive Results Sheets at the beginning of each round. Each results sheet must be filled in properly to ensure that match-ups and point totals are correct. Once Results Sheets are completed they are to be turned in at the counter so the scores can be entered into the computer.


BATTLES:

The Eighth Edition Rulebook (and all relevant GW FAQ) will be in use for all games and will be the definitive guide for all rules. The time limit for each game is 75 minutes. At the end of this time limit, the round will be called; all players will need to finish their game immediately (dice down), and no additional time will be provided.


What You Need to Bring with You:
-Your (hopefully painted) miniatures
-At least one copy of your army list
-WHFB Rulebook, your Army Book, and any additional books you might need
-Pen and paper
-Dice and templates
-Tape measure
-Something to transport your army from table to table


Store Credit Awards will be given out to:
Store credit is good for any product in the store.  It is no longer good for subsequent events.  It never expires and will be saved for you.

Best General
Second Best General
Third Best General (only awarded if the turnout is large)
Best Appearance

unfortunately I'm going to be skiing that weekend. This is  a good opportunity for new players to get some games in at lower point levels and experience a variety of play styles and lists.

definitely interested in this. i'd love to dust off the ol' dwarfs since they haven't seen the table top in a solid 6-8 years. hopefully at some point there will be an event where i can play chaos dwarfs too! (they're allowed in the etc :P )

for 'counts as' do you you need pictures of my physical models or will pictures from the web suffice?

From the web is fine, I suppose.

This event is the definition of casual. I don't plan to beat people up over things.
