* Army has either multiple simple conversions or a small amount of advanced conversions.

For a total of 30 possible points, with someone who is fully painted+based regardless of the skill of said painting receiving at least 20. Then 3 bonus points for a display board. Display counts towards overall, but not best painted.

Scenarios will be taken from the main book and modified slightly.

Please use the other thread to sign up. This one is reserved for rules and I'll also post the scenarios once I get them fully developed.

1. Tournament will be 3 rounds with a 2000 point limit fitting into one Force Org. IA units and alternative army lists will be allowed for this RTT. See notes below.
2. Each round will last 2 hours and 30 minutes.
3. Painting will be judged in between round 1 and 2. If you want to be considered please leave your army out on display.
4. All models must be WYSIWYG or properly converted. Conversions as are fine and encouraged as long as the model is easily identifiable. Placing a DEV squad with Heavy bolters on the table and saying they are Lascannons will not cut it for counts as.


NOTE: I am going to allow IA and alternative army lists out of IA. The following are excluded; Fliers, APOC units datasheets or formations, no structure points or D-Weapons. If you field anything out of IA it will be the actual model itself or sufficiently converted to be easily recognizable and completely WYSIWYG. Placing a normal Ork Deff Dread on the table and claiming it is a Meka Dread will not cut it and result in that unit being removed from the game. I'm going to be really strict on this so if you are using a conversion or counts as it will be in your best interest to let me know ahead of time and approve your model. Showing up the morining of in the hopes of convincing me is at your own risk.

Additionally anyone using an alternative army list or IA unit will provide me a copy of his/her army list at least one week prior to the tourney. Preferably in AB format. You will have a complete copy of the rules available to your opponent for use and reference. It is your responsibility to provide your opponent a copy and failure to do so will again result in that unit being removed from the table.
