General Rules:
- While competitive, this is still a friendly tournament and should be regarded as such. All players are expected to behave well mannered and show the same respect to your opponent and those taking part in the event as you would expect back in kind. Blatant misconduct could be subject to forfeiture of your game and possible dismissal from the Tournament.
- Players may field an army of up to 2,500pts and not a point more, using the requirements and allowances for a 2,500pt army as specified in the Big Red Book.
- This is a closed list tournament. Though your opponent reserves the right to view your list after the game, should they ask to do so.
- You must use the same army list for each round.
- You must indicate which lore each Wizard will be using for the entire tournament on your army list.
- SPECIAL NAMED CHARACTERS will NOT be allowed.
- HALF Points are Awarded for units below 25% of their starting strength.
- There are no item restrictions.
- Characters affected by the spells that would instantly remove them from the table with no armor or ward save allowed, may get a Look Out Sir roll: This does not apply if you are a lone character outside of a unit.
- All BSBs can take mundane equipment and Armour available to normal heroes in their army book.
- Models should be fully built.
- In order to keep the event on schedule, all players must drop the dice and stop playing when time is called for a round. Because of this, please be aware of the time left in the round and do not start a game turn you cannot finish.
- You are responsible for being familiar and having a copy of all current Errata and FAQs.
- All contests that cannot be settled will be taken to the T.O. for a final decision.
- Models are expected to be WYSIWYG ( What you see is what you get). Proxies, conversions, bitz and other models are allowed as long as other players can clearly tell what the model represents. No paper cut outs or empty bases, etc. Your opponent must be able to see and understand what he is fighting against. If your models are questionable, you must discuss the matter with your opponent before the game.
If you clearly can not tell what a model or unit is intended to represent from that players army book and / or it is too confusing, please address the issue with the Tournament Organizer. The model or unit may be removed, but the game allowed to begin, with the player who's model / units were removed, still allowed to participate with what he has left.
Control of an Objective:
Control of an objective or terrain feature is decided by whichever player has more wounds within 12" of the center of the objective. Example: 3 single unit characters may offer up 7 wounds between them, but 1 unit of 20 rank and file infantry within the same 12" radius would control the feature. If you have only one model in the corner of a 20 man unit within the 12" radius, only the 1 model is counted, not the rest of the unit. The rest of the unit would have to be within the 12" for their wounds to count towards control. Only the wounds left on a model count towards your total for deciding control.
Fleeing units can not control an objective.
Finishing the Game:
All Games will be played 6 Turns, or until time is up.
If you have managed to table your opponent, or your opponent has forfeited early on, you may play out the rest of your remaining turns to allow your units the chance to Control a Feature on the table.
Terrain:
All Terrain will be normal. Hills block line of sight. No Mysterious terrain. Allows for all players dealing with the same type of terrain in each round.
Each table will have terrain preset. When you have finished your game, please make sure the terrain is in the same place it was originally positioned.
Buildings will be considered 3 story.
Introduction:
The Old World is no stranger to the skirmishes along its borders by Orc and Goblin raids. Where brute force fails, sneaky and underhanded measures surface. The Night Goblins have been busy, and coming out of the mountains in scores. They have experiments with magic and their mushroom farms have bee successful. A mist has come out of the mountains with them, and spreads across the lands. All over, there are many hallucinogenic madcap mushrooms growing. Many with great magical properties the Night Goblins hope to harvest and use.
While the Goblin tribes are readying their mischief, their bigger cousins, the Orcs, are plotting raids at strategic locations along the Empire's borders. Those who control such locations will easily control the outcome of this new invasion.
Special Rules for all rounds:
Magic Mushrooms: With an increasing growth rate of Madcap Mushrooms springing up around the Kingdom, their accessibility is in abundance. While Night Goblin Shaman are insane enough to consume them to assist their spell casting, their appeal to other Wizards has increased.
While Night Goblin Shaman maintain their own batch and Must consume a magic mushroom each time they attempt to cast a spell, all other Wizards may choose to eat a magic mushroom.
Each time they attempt to cast a spell, after the casting dice have been rolled, declare that your wizard is eating a magic mushroom. This adds 1D6 to the casting result. This dice does NOT count as a power dice, and can NOT contribute to irresistible Force. However, if you roll a 1-2 on this dice, you must roll a further D6 ( Night Goblin Shaman do this only on a roll of a 1). On a roll of a 4+ nothing happens, but on a roll of 1-3 the mushroom was poisonous, and the Wizard suffers a wound with no armor saves allowed. Finally, unless the spell was cast with Irresistible Force, the spell automatically fails.
Animosity: Eager to see their followers battle the enemy and not each other, the gods Gork and Mork bless the tribes with focus and discipline.
Orc and Goblin Armies may re-roll failed Animosity tests.
Choppas: An energy of rage fills the air as the Orc gods Gork and Mork are eager to see blood shed all around.
Pick one Core or Special Unit to have the Choppas Special Rule. This unit should be marked to be visible that it has this rule.
This applies to the unit only and not any characters that may join it.
The unit with the Choppas special rule gains +1 Strength in the first round of each combat. This strength bonus is in addition to any other bonuses for weapons, magic items, spells, and so on. Mounts do not receive this bonus.
