Weekday Events

Welcome to Weekday Warhammer - a range of single day events designed to offer

more opportunities to play your favourite games, participate in events and spend a day
with like-minded hobbyists at Warhammer World! Compared to weekend events at
Warhammer World, you’ll find Weekday Warhammer may feature smaller army sizes,
bespoke narrative games or mini campaigns, meaning they’re a perfect opportunity
to experiment with a new army or warband, try out a different style of play or even
participate in your first event!

This document serves as a guide to the policies, model requirements and the painting
competition that will be present at every Weekday Warhammer event. Each event will
also be accompanied by a dedicated event pack, which will only cover the specific details
needed for that event, such as the event schedule, army selection details and painting
competition theme. Occasionally, details in the specific event pack may contradict those
found in this document, in these instances, the event pack will take precedence.

Model Requirements for Weekday Warhammer Events
Playing exciting, atmospheric games with finely detailed, painted miniatures is intrinsic
to the Warhammer World experience. With this in mind, all miniatures in your
collection must be Citadel or Forge World miniatures (excluding basing or scratchbuilt
components), and be fully assembled and painted to at least a Battle Ready standard.
(Information on Battle Ready can be found at Warhammer-Community.com)

Each model you use must accurately represent its entry on your army roster. This is
commonly referred to as ‘What you see is what you get’ or WYSIWYG for short. For
example, if you play with a Space Marine equipped with a Meltagun, the model must
have a Meltagun. Some gaming groups allow for proxies or stand-ins such as ‘this is my
Leman Russ Demolisher but I’m using it as a regular Leman Russ’. This isn’t suitable for
organised play at Warhammer World – you must use the appropriate model.

There are a few exceptions to this rule. Smaller equipment that doesn’t come on every
model (such as grenades) is one such exception, and Allegiance Artefacts in Warhammer
Age of Sigmar are another (although we encourage players to model interesting artefacts
as a representation should they wish).

Many players ‘‘scratch build’’ or heavily convert elements of their model collection. For
the sake of fairness, any conversion should be comparable in size to the most current
version of the model they represent. You may not gain a benefit from converted models,
but may incur penalties.

For any converted or scratch built models, you must seek permission from
whworldevents@gwplc.com including photos of the models in question where possible, at
least two weeks before the event.

If you do not obtain permission for conversions before this date, you run the risk of them
being removed from play, or possibly incurring score penalties.

A Note on Basing: Many models are no longer produced on the bases they originally came
with. Wherever possible, base your models according to their current boxed kit. As with
other exceptions, if you wish to have a model reviewed, please contact us for approval.
Code of Conduct
At Warhammer World events we place great emphasis on playing excellent games with
like-minded people at the home of Games Workshop. Therefore we expect players to play
each game with a certain code of conduct to support this. When you arrive at your table
for a game, greet your opponents, introduce yourselves, offer them a copy of your army
roster and start the game promptly. We then expect players to treat each other positively
and demonstrate good sportsmanship.

Judges
If you disagree on the interpretation of a rule during a game, we will have staff members
on hand to help as referees. Feel free to ask one of us to help solve the problem. The first
place we will look is the rulebook or relevant publications, so we recommend having a
read yourself before calling us over. If players do require us to make a ruling, the referee’s
decision is final.

Conceding
We expect all players to see each game through
to the very end and not concede, as doing
so can impact tiebreakers and, ultimately,
the final rankings. In the unlikely event
that a player does concede before
the game has reached its natural
conclusion, then in most cases
the player conceding will record
zero points for that game, whilst
the other player will record the
maximum possible score. Note
that at some events scoring in
the case of a player conceding
may not follow the above
procedure, in which case the
alternate ruling will be detailed
in the relevant event pack.

Of course, if you have some kind

of emergency that means you
can’t proceed, just let the event
staff know right away.
The Worlds of Warhammer Painting Competition
At each Weekday Warhammer event, we will also hold an open entry painting
competition. This competition is separate from the tournament, so has no bearing on any
overall rankings. The competition is to celebrate hobbyists who have gone the extra mile
in their modelling and painting to create something truly remarkable. To enter you must
have done the building and painting yourself, though entries don’t need to be from the
army you are using at the event.

This is a perfect opportunity to show off any particular models in your collection you are
most proud of. It’s an open entry, so each player may enter model(s) of their choice into
the competition for peer judging, which takes place during the lunch break. The top three
winning models will win an award for that player. Each event will have an entry theme,
which will be presented in the accompanying event pack.

Players may choose to submit a model not included in their

army roster, so each player may enter the competition
regardless of which models they have chosen for
their games. Players submitting models that
aren’t included in their army roster should
enter them into the competition during
the registration period, whilst those
choosing to enter a model from their
army will have an opportunity to do
so at the start of the lunch break.

The Events Team may specify

additional requirements during the
event for any unusual or particularly
large entries. If you have any queries
regarding the competitions, feel free to
contact us before the event.
Event Schedule, Lunch and Lateness.
The schedule for each Weekday Warhammer event will be available in the relevant
event pack. Each event will include a break for lunch, however please note that food is
not provided with your ticket for Weekday Warhammer events. Food can be purchased
from Bugman’s Bar, which is Warhammer World’s dedicated bar and restaurant. It’s the
perfect place to seek refuge between your battles and serves a range of drinks, snacks,
cakes and meals. The full menu can be found on the Warhammer World website: https://
warhammerworld.warhammer-community.com/

A Note on Lateness: Should you arrive late to Round 1 of the event, you may lose your spot
to a player on the Waitlist. Assuming your spot is still available, you will be paired with
any other late arrivals (again, where relevant) with a mandate to complete your game in the
original round time. A subsequently incomplete game may result in point penalties.

Event Scoring and Awards

Full details of the scoring and ranking system for each event will be provided in the
accompanying event pack. Events may use physical or digital scorecards, or a mix of both.
Physical scorecards will be handed out at the event, whilst details of digital scoring will
be emailed to ticket holders a week ahead of the relevant event. Regardless of the scoring
method, we ask that all players submit each round’s results as promptly as possible once
a game has reached its conclusion, as this ensures pairings for the next round or the final
results can be organised efficiently.

Favourite Game Votes

After your final game, you’ll be asked to vote for the player(s) you enjoyed playing against
the most. Maybe they displayed an excellent sporting attitude, perhaps they were positive
and friendly, or it was generally a fun and engaging game. The player who receives the
most votes will win the Most Sporting Player award. At some events, favourite game votes
may also award points towards your tournament score - if so, this will be clarified in the
event scoring section of the event pack.
Awards
At the end of each Weekday Warhammer event we will conduct an awards presentation
to celebrate players achievements! The majority of Weekday Warhammer events will
award the following, though some events may offer alternative or additional awards -
these will be detailed in the event pack if relevant.

- 1st, 2nd, 3rd - For the players who rank

highest overall.
- Worlds of Warhammer painting 1st,
2nd 3rd - As voted by you, for the
most impressive looking models.
- Most Sporting Player - For the
player with the most Favourite
Game votes, with highest
overall ranking as the
tiebreaker.
