Warhammer 40k - Tournament

April 21, 2012 10:00

Hit Point Hobbies will be hosting a 2,000 point Warhammer 40k tournament on April 21st, 2012.

There will be three rounds. Tournament Winners will be based on their Win / Tie / Loss record, followed by total numbered by battle points in case of a tie. Battle Points are covered below.

Each player should bring three objective markers.

No Forge World or Imperial Army units will be allowed for this tournament.

Entry Fee: $10.00
Prize Support: TBD, we are looking into a more attractive prize package then previous tournaments of this type. Come back for further announcements.

Special Rules
Board Set-up
For each match, each player will set one objective marker 1 foot from their board edge in the left/right center of the board. These are refereed to the "Center" objectives.

Each player will also place one marker 6" from each left / right board edge board edge and 6" from their board edge. These will be referred to as the corner objectives.

Deployment
For each round of the tournament, the deployment will be announced.

Mission Victory Conditions
All three three mission types will be be in play; Capture and Control (the 4 corner objectives), Seize Ground (the center objectives) and Annihilation. For each round, the three mission types will be given a priority of Alpha, Beta and Delta. If a player wins the Alpha Mission type, they win the match. If the Alpha condition results in a tie, then the Beta condition will determine the winner. If both the Alpha and Beta condition are a tie, then the round is declared a tie. The Delta mission is used only for battle points.

No unit can claim more then one objective.

If an enemies army is totally destroyed, the winning player does NOT automatically win all of the objectives or score max points.

Battle Points
To determine battle points, each player will receive 30 points for winning mission Alpha, 20 for winning condition Beta, and 10 points for winning condition Delta. They will also receive 5 points if they have any Fast Attack Units remaining in play.

Operation Fast Attack
All non-vehicle Fast Attack units are considered scoring, just as if they were from the Troop organizational slot. Scoring Fast Attack units can also only be contested by enemy Fast Attack choices.

Bump.

This one's next week. Should be a good time.

At player request the TO deleted the rule stating only fast attack units can contest objectives held by other fast attack units.

Update on prize support:

Prize Support: 1st, 2nd, 3rd place and best painted fast attack unit will receive medals. Additional Store credit rewarded based on participation / entry fees.

Alex and Pat from the 11th Company podcast are attending and bringing some swag to add to the prize pool.
