Players Obligations:
-Play the game to have fun. -Conduct yourself in a respectable and respectful manner over the entire event; any player breaching this point will be disqualified and asked to leave -Have all of your required materials at each of your games: dice, measuring tape, rulebook, templates & Army book (with any FAQs and updates) -Bring this players pack, two copies of all army lists, pens, paper and superglue (accidents happen) -Strive to Play with fully painted and based armies. Fully painted means at least 3 colors and no bare plastic visible anywhere on the model or base. Bases must be either textured or painted (but not painted black or white). Any Models do not qualifying as painted Will subtract 1 to the total painting score per model. -The 'What You See Is What You Get' (WYSIWYG) rule is in effect. Conversions are welcome, In addition if a player has a certain theme or conversion in the army and would like it to "counts as" this is fine as long as there is prior approval from the organizers (as submitted with the army lists) . Larger items, such as weapons or shields must be modeled; items smaller than a pistol do not. As a note on "Counts as" This must fit into the theme of the army and be a conversion that is close to the model, it should be armed in a way that makes it distinctive from the model its based on so there is no confusion. INFORM YOUR OPPONENT at the beginning of the game of any "Counts as Model" -All models must be based on the exact same size of bases as their current stock-model counterparts. If you are using a forge world model to represent something (like a Greater Daemon, vermin lord ect. it may use a larger base supplied by forgeworld. or the base size of its standard counterpart) If players cannot come to an agreement, a tournament judges ruling will be final. Certain conversions might make a model larger, this must be approved by the organizer before hand. -Each model must appropriately represent its entry in the army list; the majority of your army must be made up of Games Workshop, Citadel, Marauder, Fanatic and / or Forge World models. -Models from other manufacturers are fine, but they must clearly represent the appropriate Army book entries. Heads, bases (correct sizes) or other accessories from other manufacturers are allowed; but remember, this is a Warhammer Fantasy event: your opponent must be able to identify what your models are at a glance.

Warmachines that use a template count as a single choice in this regard. All template weapons (from magic items, abilities, etc.) count, except for spells. Bolt Throwers count as a war machine(round up) Max. 45 models with missile weapons with a range of 20+ (not incl. war machines, characters and chariots). 6) All BSBs can take all the Equipment, their unit type has access to as if they weren't BSBs. Units cannot be more than 40 models nor 450 points (including all command, upgrades, magic items/banners). This restriction applies during the creation of the roster - unit size/cost may be increased during the game (for example - by joining characters to the unit). This restriction does not apply to characters.

MAGIC RESTRICTIONS
1) Apart from Winds of magic, an army may only use 2 PD/DD per magic phase. After an army generates the limit all the other extra dice are discarded. This includes channeled PD/DD. Player can use maximum 5 PD to cast a spell. For death & shadow spells this max is lowered to 4 power dice. 2) An army may use up to 12 PD during each phase. 3) You may have units/abilities that actually would generate more than 2 extra dice, but any excess dice are lost 4) Some magic items/abilities count as generating dice toward this limit. Count as items/abilities may never exceed a cumulative 2 PD/DD per phase. This means that player who already spent his limit PD limit, cant take more items which count as adding PD or add PD from channeling during game (same for DD). 5) All modifiers are applied from the army list and will not change during the game. 6) If a dice is stolen from the opponents pool, but your army has already generated two extra dice, the dice is removed from the opponents pool and then discarded. 7) Some special items and abilities DECREASE the limit of power or dispel dice you can add to the pool. We refer to those as count as items. What this means is that, if your roster includes one counts as 1 Power Dice (PD) item, your army can only add 1 power dice (instead of the usual 2 dice) to the pool in each of your own magic phases of the entire game (regardless of whether the item is destroyed or used up). 8) you cannot have a combination of items that would decrease the limit of extra power or dispel dice to below zero. 9)Any item that auto-dispels a spell counts as generating 1 DD each magic phase.

The exact details on what constitutes victory is covered below. Victory points scored as per the rulebook, with the exceptions that: units that are at 25% or less of their original models yield 50% VP's to the opponent (characters, monsters and handlers, war machines and single models are unaffected). units that are fleeing at the end of the battle yield 50% VP's to the opponent. In both cases, bonuses (for generals, banners, etc.) are not counted towards the 50%. Units that are both: fleeing and at/below strength still only yield 50% VPs.

At the end of a game, after having filled out the battle results sheet, players will break from each other and privately mark the conduct and sportsmanship of the opposing player they just played against. Rather than simply giving an arbitrary number, rating the opposing players performance, this tournament will quantify some of the qualities of what makes good conduct. Players need only check the circles to the manners and conduct displayed by their opponent that game. These will be handed out at the beginning or during player rounds. Players are to Mark their opponent without discussion.

THEME BONUS:
(6 points. 4% total tournament score.) The theme bonus will be given out to those players that support the theme of their armies. Things like army list, army stories, display bases ect will be considered when giving out this bonus, this is awarded by the judges. on a scale of 1-6 pts

ARMY PRESENTATION:
(10 pts awarded by players; 10 pts awarded by judges. 18% total tournament score.) Before the tournament starts each player will put their army on display this is for the judges to take pictures. . The Players will then proceed to their opponents, rating each armys presentation on a scale of 1 to 10. Players will not score paint jobs of the armies on their own teams! Score armies on a scale of 1 to 5, using the guidelines below: 1 Point: Barely Passable Though each model is painted three colours, primer is one of those three colours. There may even be some unpainted bases present (which will need to be fixed by the end of the lunch break!). 3 Points: Minimums Met This army meets 100% of all the minimum presentation requirements for the tournament: painted (or flocked) bases. All the models are base-coated the three-colour minimumwith little to no primer showing. 5 Points: Fully Painted & Based This army meets all the tournaments painting minimums and surpasses them with things like dry-brushed highlights on many models, a cohesive paint scheme across the entire army, and all bases in the army being flocked. 8 Points: A Hobbyists Army The above-average amount of effort put into making this army shows. Present across the entire army is consistent shading and highlighting (dry brushing counts as consistent shading!). Also, real effort has been put into modeling and basing the army (modifications & conversions present on many models; and more than just simple flock on 90% or more of the bases). 10 Points: Amazing army! Painting skills beyond mere drybrushing and washes are displayed. There are conversions present in the armymore than just one or twoand are more than simple head or weapon swaps. Many small details on the models are also picked out across the whole army, and army banners are more than just single-colour flags. The armys basing is the same (or better) than the Hobbyists Army description below.

Army Presentation Scores from Judges: 10 points:

Part of your Army Presentation score will also be determined by the tournament organizers. The larger portion of the organizer-awarded scores will be based on the completeness of your armys paint job more than any artistic elements. Things such as no primer showing or chipped paint job, no broken models in the army, and more than bare minimum details and basing done can add up to outweigh such master class elements as free-hand painting and ambitious conversions.
