IMPORTANT MESSAGE

First of all, thank you. It means a lot for you to attend this event and whether you are local or traveling, whether you are a new hobbyist or old legend, YOU are the reason we are doing this.

This is a Warhammer Fantasy community event. Hopefully, more events will continue to take place if it is a success. It is up to everyone to be cool to each other and to help the day run as smoothly as possible.

Things may get a little 'sweaty' at times, but at the end of the day we are all friends rolling dice. A FUN and SAFE environment is always our main priority. ANYONE who abuses this situation or makes another person feel unwelcome or unsafe will be immediately ejected from the event, banned from future events and NOT refunded entry. There are no strikes here, a ONE and DONE system will be enforced.

There is NO room for toxicity, gatekeeping or hostility in our hobby.



IF YOU ARE UNSURE ON YOUR OPPONENTS RULES AND NOT SATISFIED WITH THEIR EXPLANATION

WHAT TO BRING

Your best, most charming selves, your amazing armies as well as any gaming material that you require to play, including …

Army Lists

At least two (2) copies of your army roster that are identical to the one submitted before the event (List may be changed within two weeks of the event, but will need T.O. approval). Battlescribe print offs may be easier, but handwritten/typed up is fine. As long as they can be read by You, the T.O and your opponent.

Reference Material

- ALL relevant reference Materials(e.g. Army Books, FAQs ect).

-Rulebook (Pirate copies also accepted, Yo-ho)

Other Supplies

-Sufficient dice, tape or measuring device, pen or pencil, Super Glue/Army Glue for breaks

-MOVEMENT TRAYS PLEASE

-Deodorant/Antiperspirant

 

 

 

GAMES/MATCHES/ROUNDS

Players will have 2 HOURS 45 MINUTES to complete their match.

Round 1 matches will be based on Comp score, followed by Swiss Pairings. You will NOT play the same opponent twice.

We will try to avoid a BYE as much as possible, as everyone came down here for a game. In the event that there is one, that player will receive a 15-5 victory. They may also have the chance to play a match against the T.O if they are up to the challenge and he hasn’t died of a stress induced heart attack.

Before each match, you should exchange lists with your opponent. Make sure you and your opponent each understand these lists and any special rules they have, with any FAQs/erratas that may apply and to avoid any ‘gotcha’ moments.

Please play your match in good spirit and DO NOT slowly play your opponent/stall for time. Any person deemed guilty of this may be penalized.

Games must be finished within the allotted time limit. Warnings will be given for 30 minutes, 15 minutes and 5 minutes remaining. If necessary and in the interest of fairness, you may have to calculate victory conditions/victory points from the end of an earlier turn, but you CAN NOT run over time for any reason.

Please play a decent pace and politely remind your opponent if they are taking too long. This is crucial so that results can be entered and the day does not fall behind in schedule. If your opponent is taking too long and you’ve asked them to play faster, call your T.O

After your match, calculate your points and confirm your results with your opponent. Then fill out your sportsmanship scores. Finally, track down the T.O and get your results ASAP for calculation.

Remember, if you finish your match with time remaining, feel free to go and get food or drink, just make sure you are back in time for the next round. Penalties may occur for players that are late.

 

 

 

 

 

ARMIES AND LISTS

VALID LISTS: Beastman, Bretonnia, Chaos Dwarfs (The Legion of Azgorh/Tamurkhan), Daemons of Chaos, Dark Elves, Dogs of War, Dwarfs, Empire, High Elves, Lizardmen, Ogre Kingdoms, Orcs and Goblins, Skaven, Tomb Kings, Vampire Counts, Warriors of Chaos and Wood Elves.

Warhammer End Times rules and armies may NOT be used

ALL armies are to be NO MORE THAN 2250 POINTS. Players MUST use the same list throughout the day
Allies may NOT be used.

Your list will include:

• Your name
• The name of your faction
• Your Comp score and how it’s calculated
• Your units/characters along with their points, any upgrades they have and the points for those, which lore of magic any wizards are using and who is your army general
• Your armies total points cost

Lists are OPEN. You must have 2 copies of your list on the day. One for the T.O. and one for each player you have a match with.

Teclis MUST declare his spells (either ALL spells from High Magic or 1 spell from each of the 8 Lores) before the tournament and it must remain the same throughout it.

Other than Comp, Army composition and selection will follow the standard rules from the WHFB rulebook:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ARMIES AND LISTS CONTINUED

This year, we are going to try something a little different. We have previously played straight from the book and many broken laughs were had, but no longer.  

We’re doing COMP baby!  

What exactly is COMP? I’m glad you asked.

You start at 0

 For every choice in your army, you will consult separate Comp Doc 

 Add or subtract as instructed to get your final score, with the following restrictions:

•You can finish with a minus score

•You can never gain the positive score for duplicates of the same thing more than twice (e.g. if you have 3 Lion Chariots you only get +2)

•Your score has a maximum upper limit of +10 but no lower limit, you can be a -50 if you can fit it in.

Your comp score will be used in two ways:

1. Your first round opponent will be based off of your Comp score
(Swiss Pairings will be in effect there after)

2. At the end  of the tournament, your comp score will be added or subtracted as  appropriate from your total score for your final standings
(This will effect Battle Points and Ultimate Sieger Points only)

 

LIST SUBMISSION
Please submit lists no later than 1 week before the event - send lists to
info@inngames.com.au
Subject MM25

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: MODELS  THAT HAVE BEEN RE-BASED

As we are all well aware, we have a fantastical new addition coming. And in this new addition, the requirement of re-basing our beloved armies has begun. If you have started this process, you are more than welcome to play with your models - but you will need movement trays/base converters for your models to keep things fair.

 

POINTS AND SCORING

Points will be scored based on the VICTORY POINTS (VP) DIFFERENCE between the two players.  

All normal bonuses from The Warhammer Fantasy Rulebook still apply if applicable.
E.g. (Seized Standards, The King is Dead)

VP DIFFERENCE	POINTS EARNED
0-100	10-10
101-300	11-9
301-500	12-8
501-700	13-7
701-900	14-6
901-1100	15-5
1101-1300	16-4
1301-1600	17-3
1601-1900	18-2
1901-2200	19-1
2201-2400+	20-0

 

WINNING THE TOURNAMENT

First We take your battle points (Max 100)
Then We add or subtract your Comp score
Next we add any Painting and Sportsmanship scores

 

RULES DISPUTES

All rules disputes should be resolved in one of three ways:

- Look in the appropriate rule books
- Roll a D6
- Ask the T.O.

The T.O. will do their best to find the relevant passage in the appropriate rulebook OR if one can not be found, may confer with other players. If an answer still can not be obtained, they will ask you to roll a D6 for it.

Just because there is a disagreement on a rule, does not mean that your opponent is a bad sport. It is in the way they handle/accept this dispute that will determine their merit. Keep in mind that this is just a game and everyone is doing their best to remember all of the rules, whether complex or minuscule. This includes the T.O.

The T.O. 's word is FINAL and arguing or making a scene after a decision has been made may incur penalties in the form of points deductions. Remember, it’s just a game!

If there is ANY deliberate attempt to cheat or mislead your opponent, the TO will take you aside and discuss the matter further. If you can not give a decent enough excuse for your behavior, you will be disqualified from the event. People travel for this event and they will not be cheated out of their efforts.

IF FOR ANY REASON (AND WE REALLY CAN’T STRESS THIS ENOUGH) YOU ARE UNSURE OF ANYTHING -
DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK THE T.O

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SCENARIOS

For the sake of simplicity and pure, personal hatred, The Watchtower scenario will NOT be played.

The following scenarios will be played in the following order:

SATURDAY

Battle Line
As per rulebook

Dawn Attack
As per rulebook

Blood and Glory
If an army is broken, the match will continue on as normal. At the end of the match, if you broke your opponent’s army, you receive a bonus additional 600 MATCH POINTS toward your final match score

 

 

 

 

 

TERRAIN

All hills will be standard hills and considered open ground for the sake of movement/spells.

Unit is considered to be in hard cover when:

Majority of unit's footprint is obscured from shooter's Line of Sight by one or more Interfering Unit(s) or LOS blocking terrain(s), as described on page 41 BRB

 Majority of the unit's front rank is defending an obstacle, as described on page 122 BRB and ETC FAQ 8.4. If the unit is being shot from the flank or the rear, treat the corresponding file or the last rank, respectively, as the front rank

Unit is considered to be in soft cover when:

Majority of unit's footprint is in or behind woods, as described on page 119 BRB

Models shooting from hills or buildings don't get the hard cover penalty for shooting through interfering units, unless the unit is also on hill.

Units with majority of its models on hill do not receive hard cover for being shot at through interfering units, unless that part of the units which interferes is also on hill. Units with majority of its models on hill do not receive hard cover for being partially obscured from the shooter's LoS by the same hill they are on

 Large Targets can't claim cover for obstacles, ruins and interfering units, unless the interfering unit is also a Large Target. Large Targets which shoot don't suffer any penalties for interfering units, unless interfering unit is also a Large Target

The terrain is fixed. If it moves, please return it to its approximate location.

Wood Elves are allowed their forests, however, they must be of the appropriate size (technically no bigger than 6” in diameter) - however, citadel woods will be accepted. These will be considered whatever forests the player chooses and will not have to roll on the Mysterious Forests chart.

ALL other forests will follow the rules for Mysterious Terrain given on pages 119-121 in the rulebook.

ALL buildings, ruins and structures will be impassable and block sight.

At the end of the day, a true line of sight is the key.

NO UNITS may garrison inside any structure.

 

 

SPORTSMANSHIP  

At the start of the tournament, you will be handed a slip. This is the sportsmanship scoring sheet, as well as your favourite army voting slip. You will hold on to this sheet for the whole weekend (please don’t lose it! If you do, contact the TO ASAP as you will receive 5 BONUS POINTS just for voting)

This sheet is to be marked with a numerical value between 1-5 each round after each opponent.

You may fill out your sheet as openly or as anonymously as you like.
You do not have to show your opponent their sportsmanship score.

If you had a great match, with a great person, give them the appropriate score. The same goes for (unfortunately) having a more difficult match with a difficult opponent. Remember, if you ever have issues with your match or your opponent to contact your TO right away - there is no shame in this.

The total scores for each player will be tallied up and contribute directly to the coveted 'Josef Bugman Greatest Sportsman’ Award as well as the new 1st Place Overall - The Ultimate Sieger award.

 

In the event of a tie (It’s been very close to happening, you amazing, charming bastards) a winner will then be decided by Painting Score and then Battle Score respectively.

If at the end of all this, it’s still a tie, a two man sack race will be held on consecutive Sundays until a winner is crowned (drawn randomly from a hat between the winners).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PAINTED ARMIES

Fully painted armies will NOT be required to play. The last thing we want is someone with an army to not be able to participate in the event.

HOWEVER, we would like to reward players who have taken the time to paint and model their armies with love and care. 10 POINTS will be awarded to ALL players with a REASONABLE TABLETOP STANDARD painted army at the start of the tournament and this WILL contribute to overall placings.

A REASONABLE TABLETOP STANDARD is 3 BASE COLOURS & A WASH, as well as a PAINTED BASE.

 

 Points Allocation

 1: 0 Points

 2: 3 Points

3: 5 Points

4: 10 Points

 5: 10 Points

MODELS / PROXIES

Preferably, traditional Citadel/Games Workshop models would be our recommendation. However, as our beloved game system does not really exist any more, we are more than happy to make acceptions, as long as:

- The models are the appropriate size of GW affiliated Fantasy Miniatures (Usually 28mm in scale)
E.g. At a glance, it looks like those people are playing Warhammer

- The models clearly represent what they are being used
E.g. A squad of man-ish looking models with muskets are handgunners

- There aren’t two of the same types of model, representing different units
E.g. 2 Squads of Silverhelm models, one representing Silverhelms and the other representing Ellysian Reavers

- The models are intact, mostly complete and not completely broken
E.g. No manky projects, shame piles or sentient stacks sprues please

- The bases are SQUARE (circular bases with square movement trays are fine, Sigmarites).
E.g. Take your Dodecahedron bases elsewhere, punk!

There will be A LOT of flexibility on our end in terms of equipment, items and weapons and models.

The goal is that your opponent fully understands what models are in your army and what gear they have.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE ON ANYTHING, WHETHER YOU CAN USE SOMETHING, PLAY A SWEET CONVERSION OR IF YOU JUST WANT TO RUN SOMETHING COOL, PLEASE DON’T HESITATE TO
