If the scenery needs changing, call one of the J udges to assist.
Rules from Imperial Armour and Apocalypse are not allowed, however you may use
appropriate models to represent models with rules in allowed codices. (E.g you may not
use a chaplain dreadnaught in your army but you may use the model to represent say a
Venerable/Normal/Ironclad/Librarian dreadnaught with appropriate weapons as above)
2 Playing the Tournament
Opponents are allocated randomly in the first round and from then using the Swiss system
2.1 Scenario details:
Primary Objectives
Will be chosen from among those in the rule book and from this thread
http://w-ired.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4564
Secondary Objectives:Slay the Warlord, First Blood, Nemesis (see end of rulespack),
Linebreaker.
And VPs gained with the Warlord Personal Trait "Legendary Fighter" if rolled
Capturing objectives:
To capture an objective you must measure from the edge of the base of the objective.
Working out your result:
1. Winning the Primary objectiveis worth 8 Battle points
Calculating Primary Objective:
For the Primary Objective mission both players starts with 4 Battle points each. For every Victory
Point more than his opponent a player has at the end of the game, the player adds one BP, and
his opponent subtracts one BP, up to a maximum of +4 / -4 BPs,
for example
a draw on VPs is +0/-0 =as score of 4/4
a win of +1VP is +1/-1 =5/3
a win of +2VPs is +2/-2 =6/2
a win of +3VPs is +3/-3 =7/1
a win of +4VPs is +4/-4 =8/0
2. Winning the SecondaryObjective is worth up to a Maximum of 6 Battle points.
Calculating Secondary Objective:
For the Secondary Objective mission both players starts with 3 Battle points each. For every
Victory Point more than his opponent a player has at the end of the game, the player adds one
BP, and his opponent subtracts one BP, up to a maximum of +3 / -3 BPs,
for example
a draw on VPs is +0/-0 =as score of 3/3
a win of +1VP is +1/-1 =4/2
a win of +2VPs is +2/-2 =5/1
a win of +3VPs is +3/-3 =6/0
3. Then compute Army Points (APs) difference. The player having the AP difference in his favor
gets higher value battle points; the other player gets lower value battle points;
APs Difference / Battle points.
1301-1850 / 6/0
851-1300 / 5/1
401-850 / 4/2
0-400 / 3/3
Army Points (the points cost of the units in your army) are awarded for the following:
1. Full points are awarded for any destroyed unit.
2. Half points are given for any Character or Monster reduced to below half their starting
number of wounds; a Squad reduced to below half their starting number; and Vehicles that are
reduced to below half their starting hull points Immobilized.
2.2 The Warm-Up period
Before every battle there is a Warm-Up period between games
During this time you can:
Discuss the table and the terrain on it (what effect it will have on lines of sight, movement and
the battle in general).
Clear up any potential rules problems that might occur during the game.
Discuss special rules and conditions for victory that apply to the scenario.
Ask questions about your opponents army and the special rules that apply to it.
Swap army rosters
The Warm-Up period is included as an official part of the Tournament and we advise all
contestants arrive in good time and make the most of it. It will prevent many unwanted debates
during games and should help you and your opponent get off to a friendly start!
2.3 Interference
Only you and your opponent play the battles together. This means that friends and onlookers
who finish their games early must not interfere or be involved in the game in any way.
Interfering with a battle that is not your own may be considered a yellow card offense and any
interference should be reported to a referee.
2.4 Equal Number of turns
During the round we will announce the 30-minute mark. At this point you have 30 minutes left to
finish your game. In the interest of fair play we strongly suggest that you only start a new turn
after the 20-minute mark has been announced if you are both convinced that you can finish an
entire game turn. If you cant agree with your opponent you should call over a referee to make
the decision.
2.5 Using an illegal army
Using an illegal army will result in your registered score for all rounds played changing to 0,
regardless of the actual outcome of the battles. You will be required to amend your army to fit the
tournament requirements before the next round.
2.6 Your result
We will display the scores registered for previous rounds. We recommend that you check these
after each round and, should you find an error, report it to a J udges. We will either change it
immediately or ask you to get your opponent from that round to agree on the change.
3 Scoring points
3.1 Game points: There are 100 points available from your games, up to 10 points for pre-
submission and 10 points for painting giving 115 tournament points as the potential total.
3.2 Yellow and Red Cards:
Sometimes we may need to penalize a participant for violating the rules or for inappropriate
conduct during the Tournament.
Committing a yellow card offence minus 5 points to you overall score per offence
Committing a red card offence Disqualification
3.3: Ultimate Decisions:
The J udgess decision on all matters is final (persistent arguments from a player may result in
execution by a Commissar).

New Objective: Nemesis
The unit or independent character that achieves the first blood objective becomes the
Nemesis, If the Nemesis is Removed as a casualty by the end of the game it is worth 1 VP
to your opponent,
If First Blood was Achieved, but not by a unit or character, then choose a unit, in your
army and on the table, at random, to become the Nemesis.
