Each 'Ard Boyz tournament will consist of three games of Warhammer 40,000 for each player. The 5th Edition Rulebook will be in use for all games and will be the definitive guide for all rules. The time limit for each game is 2 1/2 hours (150 minutes). At the end of this time limit, time will be called and all games must be finished immediately. No additional time will be provided. Note: do not begin a round unless there is ample time for both players to receive their turn! 

In each game, players will play a scenario. Each scenario will have a list of special rules and other information. Players will be informed at the beginning of each round as to what scenario will be used.

 

PRIZE SUPPORT

Due to the generosity of its supporters, and the rampant greed of its organizers, 'Ard Boyz has some of the richest rewards ever seen at a 40K tournament.

Qualifiers

These prizes will be awarded at the end of the tournament by the tournament sponsor.

1st Place A battleforce of your choice

2nd Place A boxed set of your choice ($40 or less)

3rd Place A blister pack of your choice

The 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishers will be asked to attend the Semi-finals. If for some reason they cannot attend, the invitation will slip to the fourth place finisher and so on.

Semi-finals

The 1st Place prize will be sent by Games Workshop to the store of the winners choice. The 2nd and 3rd place prizes will be awarded by the tournament sponsor at the end of the tournament.

1st Place A 2500-point army of a race of your choice

2nd Place A battleforce of your choice

3rd Place A boxed set of your choice ($40 or less)

The 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishers will be asked to attend the Finals. If for some reason they cannot attend, the invitation will slip to the fourth place finisher and so on.

Finals

Winners will relieve absurdly huge piles of loot, and the right to call all others dirty runtherders!

 

Sign ups start now, and only 12 will be allowed to participate. The first game starts at 12PM, so everyone has to be here before 11:00AM so the judges can go over the army lists and final rules. There will be a break between the 1^st and 2^nd rounds. After the time has been called after the 1^st round, you have exactly 20 minutes before the 2^nd round begins. No exceptions. Please don't be late.
