RULES OVERVIEW FOR WARMACHINE / HORDES TOURNAMENTS

The comprehensive rules can be found here.

Rule Books:
The Warmachine Prime MkII and Hordes Primal MkII Rules will be used.

The following is a list of legal army choices:

Cygnar
The Protectorate of Menoth
Khador
Cryx
Retribution of Scyrah
Mercenaries

Trollbloods
Circle Orboros
Skorne
Legion of Everblight
Minions


MODELS AND POINTS:

For the Hardcore and/or the Highlander event:

Each player must bring ONE army list consisting of 35 points or fewer.  In the Highlander event the list must be a minimum of 33 points.  Lists for the Hardcore Event and the Highlander Event CAN be different.  You do not need to field the same list in the Highlander Event that you do in the Hardcore Event.

HARDCORE MODEL RESTRICTIONS: All models must be painted and based.  No exceptions.

HIGHLANDER MODEL / LIST RESTRICTIONS: Players may field a maximum of one unit and the UA that goes along with them.  Players may field one solo.  Players may not take multiples of the same Warjack or Warbeast.  Players may take one battle engine.



HOW THE TOURNAMENT WORKS:

• Competitors will participate in a number of games over the course of the day based on attendance (probably 4 per event).

• Players will receive Tournament Record 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 Record Sheets are completed they are to be turned in at the counter so the scores can be entered into the computer.

• In each game, you will play the KILL BOX scenario and record the outcome of the battle on your Tournament Record Sheet.

• Each round you will play a different opponent.

• Each round will last 80 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 players that come to the event together in the first round.  We will also try not to pair the same faction against itself if at all possible. If a player receives a BYE they will be awarded 1 TP and 0 CP's in accordance with the rules.

• You will not play the same person 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 player turn in the Hardcore Event will last 5 minutes and players will not have an extension each game.  

• Each player turn in the Highlander Event will last 10 minutes and each player will have a 5 minute extension that they can use once per game.

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



What You Need to Bring with You:
-Your (hopefully painted) miniatures
-At least two copies of your army list(s)
-Rulebooks and any additional books you need
-Paper and pencil or marker
-Cards for the models in your list
-Dice and templates
-Tape measure
-Something to transport your army from table to table


Coins and/or Store Credit Awards will be given out to:
Store credit is good for any product in the store and all subsequent events.  It never expires and will be saved for you if unspent.

Best Overall General (Coin, Store Credit)
Second Best Overall General (Coin, Store Credit)
Third Best Overall General (Coin, Store Credit if turn out is high)
Best Appearance (Store Credit)

Does the event post seem clear enough?

The only thing I would clarify is that the Highlander rules you posted doesn't mention one list VS. two.

I assume it is only one though?

I am going to really try to be painted, but I am still working on getting my 40k army for Nova done.  So unlikely to make it for the first event. 

I will be there for highlander though.
