A Warmachine / Hordes Highlander Event


List requirements:
35 points
1 List
1 Warcaster / Warlock
1 Warbeast / Warjack
1 Unit + UAs
1 Solo
1 Battle Engine

All remaining points may be used on warbeasts or warjacks (lesser, lights and heavies). You may not have duplicates of the same model.

Steamroller 2013 scenarios and accompanying rules will be used.

The rules and scenarios can be found here:
http://privateerpress.com/organized-play/steamroller-tournaments

How the event 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 for assassination and control points with the killbox artifice from SR2013. First player to assassinate the other caster or have 4 control points wins. There are no objectives or flags to score, the killbox artifice will grant control points. Record the outcome of the battle on your Event Record Sheet.
  • Each round you will play a different opponent.
  • Each round will last 70 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 Highlander Event will last 7 minutes and each player will have a 3 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
  • Rulebooks and any additional books you need
  • Paper and pencil or marker
  • Cards for the models in your list and/or War Room
  • Dice and templates
  • Tape measure
  • Something to transport your army from table to table

Just as a clarification, the requirements of the list are "up to" and do not require to have a battle engine or a solo, etc.

What does 'the kill of artifice will grant control points' mean?

In each game, you will play for assassination and control points with the killbox artifice from SR2013. First player to assassinate the other caster or have 4 control points wins. There are no objectives or flags to score, the killbox artifice will grant control points. Record the outcome of the battle on your Event Record Sheet.

Killbox artifice in SR2013 does not kill or maim your warcaster, it grants 2 control points. This is an interpretation of the SR2013 rules to fit them into a highlander format.

Simply put: If you are out of the killbox (within 14 inches of the board edges) for two player "turns" you lose.

If I play a caster that has an automatic attachment (thinking 3mo and Finch) does that attachment count against the 1 solo limit if the card calls the attachment a solo?

Hey quick question,

Convg. of Cryss has not released a solo or unit yet, so how would I meet the needs of the event? Also, There is very limited models for them, how do I get around the limit of one of that type?

since the model isn't released you can't use it due to steamroller rules

Right, so we have only jacks. So no conv. of cryss then? The format said solos and such are a must.

The event posting is sort of unpolished. You can have UP TO 1 of each category listed. Nothing is stopping someone fom playing with a whole bunch of jacks and nothing else, provided none are repeated.

Using one of each jack that is out is exactly 34/35 if I remember right
