Legions Games will be hosting a 3 round 2500 Point Warhammer Fantasy Tournament on June 23rd 2012

Tournament Organizer & Judge is Dominic Metzger

1130 Perry Hwy, Pittsburgh, PA , 15237.

START TIME Noon. Sign ups at 11

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

Missions can be located here
Click for MISSIONS!

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). Please do not lie about your army’s paint status, it’s not worth saving 5$ as it defeats the purpose of encouraging people to paint.

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 25 models

All Forests/Rivers are mystical

Additional rules for this event are as follows

Victory Point Changes
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


Magic Resistance (MR) gains the following additional special ability
May be used to increase a characteristic on a model that is being targetted by a spell that forces a characteristic test on a 1 for 1 basis, up to a maximum characteristic value of 4. For example, Pit of Shades is cast on a unit with an Initiative value of 2 and they have Magic Resistance (2). The unit increases its Initiative value by +2 because they have MR (2), this means the unit now has an Initiative value of 4. However, if the unit had MR (3) then they could still only increase their characteristic to a maximum of 4. If a unit naturally has a characteristic score of 5 or better then they may obviously still use that value.

A unit that uses Magic Resistance in this manner may not gain or modify an existing ward save against the spell in question (If it even allows one). If they already have a ward save (and the spell allows one) then they may of course use it.


Steadfast Changes
In order to be considered to be Steadfast a unit must have more ranks than all enemy unit ranks combined that are currently in base contact with it. This means that a unit with 8 ranks is NOT considered to be Steadfast if for example 2 enemy units with 4 and 5 ranks respectively are in base contact with it, as this totals 9 ranks. Also note that in a combined combat in which each player has multiple units you must determine Steadfast based on who each unit is in contact with.

Flanking/Rear Contact Changes
Units that are in contact with the flank and/or rear of an enemy double their ranks for the purposes of negating an enemy’s Steadfast. Additionally, any unit in the rear of an enemy and currently is causing Disruption (IE has 2 full ranks) also negates Steadfast entirely.

Skirmishers that are in the flank and/or rear of an enemy may be counted as having ranks as a normal unit. Note that this only applies in the flank or rear and such a skirmisher in the front of a unit will still be counted as having 0 ranks.

Ridden Monsters (Which is a monster that has or had a rider at the start of the game) with 4 or more wounds on their profile count as having 1 rank for close combat purposes or 2 ranks if the monster has 6 or more wounds on its profile. Additionally, they automatically cause disruption if in the rear arc of an enemy (and thus would also negate Steadfast).


Undead Unstable Changes
Units of Undead that suffer from being Unstable that are also joined by a Lord or Hero gain the following:

The unit replaces Unstable with Instability and may gain the benefits of Steadfast and Stubborn for purposes of Instability tests. For those who do not play demons, when a unit with Instability loses combat it makes a normal break check with usual combat modifiers and instead of fleeing it removes loses a number of wounds equal to the amount the check is failed by.

Generally we get between 20-25. Been trying to build a larger scene but it takes more out of area people due to our local group having a big of a collapse due to 8th edition

Orkz never lose, we will come back to fight another day!

That would be great. I try to get a feel for what the tournament players dont like in the system (Structurally.. not that certain units are OP or suck) and Im always open to suggestions to making the game more fun

My goal is make the game more tactical and fun by changing the least amount possible.

It's been asked a few times, and while it is in the above rules I'd like to stress that the Unstable changes for undead armies only applies if they have a hero or lord in the unit

This was mostly designed to help vampires since Tomb Kings didn't need a buff to their constructs

Also, this same rationale is applied to the Ridden Monsters rule buff. Stuff like Hydras and Hellpits are already good enough but no one takes dragons anymore for various reasons

2 weeks until the tournament. Hopefully everyone who planned on coming is still doing so.

I will also be running a WFB tournament in philly at the end of July
