We have a reputation for running good events, so everyone come and enjoy yourself. Due to recent events the following is something that everyone should be aware of

All tournament lists MUST be typed and printed out OR it must be on a normal sheet of paper with all units and options taken CLEARLY LABELED. If you can't take the time to write out your list
then there are room for casual games on non-tournament tables. In addition, player conduct will be monitored and EVERYONE is expected to respect each other and play legit. I understand people can be heated during a competition, that is fine

2500 Points Per player

All standard army books allowed (This will be updated based upon what books have come out). Newest FAQs will be used.
Chaos Dwarves from the Tamurkhan- The Throne of Chaos book are allowed. If you decide to bring this army you need to let me know prior. You must have a copy of the FW book or a print out of the relevant rule sections for your army.

This is a closed list event in terms of optional equipment taken. You must (obviously) disclose what equipment piece/special ability you are using once it has been used. In addition, if a character you control ENTERS a challenge you must disclose all equipment the model is carrying. If you are using hidden units you must write down somewhere which unit he is in, so your opponent can verify.

3 Rounds, 2.5 hours per round with an additional 15 minutes given for deployment (Total of 2:45). Do not start another game turn if you cannot finish. There will be a break between either round 1 & 2 or 2 & 3.

Entry fee: 15$ for non-fully painted armies and 10$ for fully painted armies (Defined as entire model being painted to a 3 color minimum, primed models nor do bare metal/plastic models with 3 dabs of paint count. Bases do not count but they will most likely preclude you from winning any kind of painting prize if they aren’t finished)

Prizes are based upon full value of entrance fees. Prizes are awarded to top 3 players and best painted

Terrain Special Rules

No building on the board may be entered. The only exception is a building is created via an army special ability or magic item. Such buildings have a limit of 30 models

All Forests/Rivers are mystical

Additional rules for this event are as follows

You score half victory points for units that are at or below half starting model count. As well as characters, monsters and other single model units that are reduced to half or below the wound value listed on their profile

Units that are fleeing at end of game are also worth victory points. A fleeing unit that is above 50% of its starting number is worth half victory points and a fleeting unit at or below 50% of its starting number is considered to be destroyed for victory point purposes

The following spells now allow ward saves (not regeneration) against their effects (Generally instant death). For most of these that means if you fail your characteristic test, then you are allowed a ward save but if you fail that you suffer the full result of the spell (again usually death). This also means that magic resistance will boost an existing ward save, or give one

Dwellers Below
Pit of Shades
Final Transmutation
Purple Sun of Xerxes

For anyone attending this tournament, New AND Old empire army books will be allowed.

Obviously, you must choose your entire army from a single army book and you need to let me know during the event which you are using

@War - You must use the worse version of any unit you take between the two books and you must use your Empire army!

Ooo, I do love a challenge... ashame I probably won't have a new empire book until the tourney.

I could split the difference and just bring an army of nothing but spearmen. I hear they haven't changed in point value and have always pretty much sucked (i'm guessing that probably hasn't changed in the new edition. It would be a serious break in games workshop tradition).
