HARDCORE! TOURNAMENT
50-point SR2011 - Friday (10:30AM – 7:00PM) – Registration Begins at 10:30AM - 32 Players
Bring the best and craziest list you can come up with to compete in Hardcore! at AdeptiCon 2011! Only 1 list can be
entered, and this army must be fully painted to Hardcore standards. Prizes will be awarded for Best Painted Army,
Fastest Caster Kill, Most Army Points Destroyed, and Overall Winner!
Top two players of Hardcore advance to the Championships on Sunday!
This event follows the core rules for Steamroller 2011 except as noted below in the Appendix rules.
SR2011 Appendix Rules:
• Hardcore Painting Required
o For Hardcore tournaments, all the Steamroller Modeling and Painting and Conversions rules apply. In
addition, all models must be completely painted. This means that every model must be painted with a
reasonable diversity of color. Individual elements of the miniature must be distinguishable by color or
shading. For instance, flesh must be a different color than hair or clothing; metal should be a different
color than leather. The base is part of the model, so don't neglect it! Bases must be finished with sand
or flock or otherwise modeled and painted.
o Models that do not meet these requirements will not be eligible for play. Whether a model is
completed is the decision of the event organizer. As a general rule, if someone feels the need to justify
why a model is completed, it probably isn’t.
• Assassin Scoring
o If there is no clear winner at the end of a tournament, use the number of ’caster kill wins as the
tiebreak condition (followed by Strength of Schedule and then Control Points, if needed).
• Hardcore Time Limits
o 7 minute turns
o One 3 minute extension per game
• One List Required
o You are only allowed to bring one 50-point list to this event.
• Scenario (Killbox)
o Only the Killbox scenario will be used.

Mangled Metal, Tooth & Claw is a brutal clash between warjacks and warbeasts in which the only goal is survival. Such
a battle proves a caster and his ’jacks or a warlock and his beasts are the equal of an entire army.

destruction.

(rounding up) including all attachments.

combined 70 point list).
o Each player gets full FA allotment in their 35 point list (each player can take the same Unit Attachment
that is FA 1 if they both have the unit in their respective lists).
o Both players do not need to play the same faction (one player can field Cryx while their teammate
fields Cygnar). This is optional, not forced!
o Both players do not need to play the same system (one player can be fielding a Hordes army while
