RULES FOR WARHAMMER FANTASY TOURNAMENT

Rule Books:
The Warhammer Fantasy EIGHTH 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: 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



MODELS AND POINTS:

1. Each player must bring an army consisting of 2500 points (but no fewer than 2450), in accordance with these rules...

2. Army lists MUST be emailed to Sam Pearson at skulan@comcast.net no later than October 10th, 2011.  Your list should be sent in Army Builder generated .pdf.  Failing that, a detailed, itemized, .txt or .rtf file is fine.

3. ForgeWorld rules will not be allowed for this event.  ForgeWorld models may be used where appropriate, however.

4. The Folding Fortress is not allowed in this event.

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 three (3) 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 2.5 hours.

• 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 (based on the number of points they've scored) 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. If a player receives a BYE they will be awarded the average of the winning players points for the round.

• You will not play the same person twice.

• We will do our best to prevent a player from playing on the same table 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.

• Slow playing will NOT be tolerated.  If you suspect your opponent is slow playing PLEASE notify a Battleground staff member as soon as possible as we can not do anything about alleged slow play after the fact.

• 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 2.5 hours. 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.

The scenarios to be used are:

Round 1 - Battle Line
Round 2 - Meeting Engagement
Round 3 - Dawn Attack


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 and all 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

I did this up fast, so if I left anything out or messed anything up let me know.

I will be at a wedding that weekend, far away from here.  But I am sure Josh and Jake will be interested.

I'm reasonably certain I can scratch that many points together by then. If I can then I'm game for it.

They've usually done 100 for minor win, ?? for major and double your opponent's VPs for a massacre.

Sadly, I have no idea what we've done other than go "by the book."

Unfortunately, I know very, very little about how WHFB is played.



Here is a picture of the results from one of the events earlier in the year.  Maybe this will mean something to you guys.  Are there conditional point modifiers built in to the scenarios right out of the book?

Vampire Counts. It turned out I didn't really need all that much in order to finish, so I'm all set now. Thanks for the offer though, I appreciate it.

I'd be lying if I said you didn't have everything to do with that, Jake.  :)
