Cost: $5. Maximum of 32 Participants, pre-registering and payment is advised.

Time: Check-in begins at 8:30. 1st round begins at 9am sharp.

Description: Our first ever Warhammer Fantasy Team Tournament! The best part: you have no idea who your teammate will be. We’ll be randomly assigning teams the morning of the tournament. So no need for the ultra competitive tournament lists, just bring something fun to play and play against.

Games: 3 games, 2 ½ hours per game. We will be using GW GT scenarios.

Rules: The morning of the tournament you will be randomly teamed with another player. You must build an 1125 point army using the following rules:

  • No more than 2 characters. No lords. No more than 1 level 2 wizard (you may have a 2nd wizard but they can only be 1st level, or you may have 2 1st level wizards).
  • Core: 2+
  • Special: 2 or less
  • Rare: 1 or less
  • No more than 2 chariots
  • No more than 2 warmachines
  • Truthsayer, Dark Emissary, and Asarnil the Dragon Lord are not allowed.
  • Vampire Counts: Requirement for a spellcasting general is waived.
  • Brettonians: BSB requirement is waived.
  • Dogs of War: Paymaster requirement is waived.
  • Army Marshall: The Marshall of the combined forces will be the general with the highest leadership. Marshall’s grant +1 CR to combats within 12”. In all other respects the Marshall counts as the army’s general.
  • Battle Standard Bearers: Only one BSB may be used per alliance. The team must decide on which BSB is used at the beginning of the tournament and cannot change this choice between games.
  • Dispel Dice: Each team gets a base of 2 dispel die (4 if one team member is playing Dwarves).
  • The same army must be used for each battle.
  • No other list restrictions other than your roster must always be chosen from the same book/list and must be of the most recent book available to your army.
  • Any special character requirement a list may have is waived.
  • Battle Point Scoring: Wins are worth 5pts, Draws 3pts, Losses 1pt.
  • Each scenario will have bonus points.

Other Rules and Notes:

  • Wood Elf players may not place their extra wood for any battle.
  • Clan Eshin may not use the “Night Fighting” rules.
  • Armies do not have to be painted.
  • There will be loaner armies available for those without an army, at least 2 Empire, 2 Lizardman, and 1 ogre army.

Terrain: Each table will have the terrain pre set-- it is not to be moved.

  • Forests, hills, and buildings are infinitely tall.
  • All hills are considered to be on the same level and thus block line of sight for each other.
  • Buildings are impassable.

Sportsmanship Scoring: These questions will determine your opponent’s sportsmanship score. Each is worth 1pt.

Answer Yes or No to each question.
1. Did you have fun playing this opponent?
2. Would you play this opponent again?
3. Were any rules issues handled in a reasonable fashion?

2007 Warhammer 40,000 Fall Tournament

Sunday, September 23rd. 11am-6pm

Arrive between 10:00am and 10:30am, so we can get the pairings ready and check army lists. Do not be late.

Fee: $18.00 for early registration, $20.00 the day of tournament. This fee is per person. When signing up for the tournament you will need to list the army you are using along with your phone number. We can accept credit cards over the phone if you do not have the opportunity to come in and pay your fee early. The more participants that show, the better the prize payout.

Rules:
1. This tournament is a team tournament. You choose a partner, and together you work as a team , building the army and battling your opponent. An army of 2000pts is what you need together. This means that as a team, following the same FOC, both of your armies will count as one.
EXAMPLE. Bob and Tom are a team. They use Necrons. Bob will take a Necron Lord and one squad of troops and Tom will take the other squad of troops. Then they finish off the army with what they have, to get to 2000 pts.
You will move as a team, shoot as a team, and assault as a team. Try to pair up with someone who has the same army as you. As an example, Necrons fighting along side Eldar does not work. If you have to proxy, have it make sense, and let your opponents know what is what.

2. Special characters and forge-world models will be allowed, but not forge world rules.

3. Armies must follow all restrictions from their own codex. You must keep the same rules, patrons, etc. through the whole event. If you need to proxy any model, make sure your opponent knows what is what. You must bring the rules you are using for your army. You also must bring your own dice, ruler, any templates you need, super glue, and a copy of your army list. We've had problems in the past with computer generated lists, (The Forge Army Generator, etc.). If you choose to use these programs, make sure to manually recalculate based on Codex point listing for your final list.

4. There will be three scenarios (they will be announced before each battle), which will take no more than 2 hours to set up and play. When time is called, you will finish the round you are on and hand over your score sheet. No additional time will be provided. This is a one day event. There will be a 30 minute break for lunch after the 2nd round ends.

5. If there is a tie for first place, the two players will have a final battle to determine the winner, on a seperate day. There will be a prize awarded to Best Sportsmanship.

6. There will also be a painting contest for Single model, all participants may enter one model for us to judge in the painting contest. The model must be purchased through the store after the 1st of June, so bring a receipt for proof.
