MODELS AND POINTS:

 

1. Each player must bring an army consisting of 1500 points or fewer. Team composition will be governed using the rules presented on pages 136-139 of the Warhammer Fantasy Eighth Edition Rulebook. All of those rules will be in effect.

 

2. ForgeWorld rules and models that go with them will not be allowed for this event.

 

3. 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 (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 teams that come to the event together in the first round. If a team receives a BYE they will be awarded the average of the winning teams points for the round.

 

• You will not play the same team 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 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 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, and no additional time will be provided. For each game, players will play a scenario. Players will be informed at the beginning of each round as to which scenario will be used.

 

In no particular order, the scenarios to be used are:

 

Blood and Glory

Battle Line

The Watchtower
