RULES OVERVIEW FOR WARMACHINE / HORDES STEAMROLLER TOURNAMENT

The comprehensive rules and scenario packet can be found here.

Rule Books:
The Warmachine Prime MkII and Hordes Primal MkII Rules will be used.

The following is a list of legal army choices:

Cygnar
The Protectorate of Menoth
Khador
Cryx
Retribution of Scyrah
Mercenaries

Trollbloods
Circle Orboros
Skorne
Legion of Everblight
Minions


MODELS AND POINTS:

Each player must bring an army consisting of 35 points or fewer.  Each player is allowed to use one of the two 35 point lists they've chosen in each game they play.


HOW THE TOURNAMENT WORKS:

• Competitors will participate in a number of games over the course of the day based on attendance (probably 4, hopefully 5). In each game, you will play a scenario and record the outcome of the battle on your Tournament Record Sheet. Each round you will play a different opponent.  Each round will last 80 minutes.  Each player turn will last a maximum of 10 minutes.

• In the first round, players will be matched up randomly. After the first round, players will be
matched up according to current rankings in the tournament (e.g., the player in first place will
play the player in second place and so on). We will try our best not to pair players that come to the event together in the first round.  We will also try not to pair the same faction against itself if at all possible. If a player receives a BYE they will be awarded 1 TP and 0 CP's in accordance with the rules.

• You will not play the same person twice.

• The pairings for each round will be announced as soon as they are determined. Please be sure to
arrive at your table ready to play right away. We ask that each player be conscious of the
time and that you play at a regular and steady pace to complete the game. Anyone found slow
playing or deliberately stalling for any reason will be penalized.

• Each game will be played on a 4' x 4' board.

• Players will receive Tournament Record Sheets at the beginning of each round. Each results sheet must be filled in properly to ensure that match-ups and point totals are correct. Once Record Sheets are completed they are to be turned in at the counter so the scores can be entered into the computer.

The scenario packet can be found here.



What You Need to Bring with You:
-Your (hopefully painted) miniatures
-At least two copies of your army list(s)
-Rulebooks and any additional books you need
-Paper and pencil or marker
-Cards for the models in your list
-Dice and templates
-Tape measure
-Something to transport your army from table to table


Coins and/or Store Credit Awards will be given out to:
Store credit is good for any product in the store and all subsequent events.  It never expires and will be saved for you if unspent.

Best Overall General (Coin, Store Credit)
Second Best Overall General (Coin, Store Credit)
Third Best Overall General (Coin, Store Credit if turn out is high)
Best Appearance (Store Credit)

Right now Im going to post the biggest issue ever, enjoy the mind-f***ing it brings:

Lich Lord Asphyxious's feat allows 10 warrior models to return to play, charge, etc... then goes away AT THE END OF THE TURN.

The models are all at least one whole point that are returned (lets assume here).

The scoring for Objectives/flags is done AT THE END OF THE TURN.

Can these returned models count for scoring?  There was no decisive answer so far, just a "I dont think so, but maybe".  So it's up to you Chase/Derek.  Personally I feel it will come down to timing, when during the end step they dissapear and when the flags are scored.  The reason it is important is obvious, it can change drastically how a game(s) could turn out.

Just a heads up, guys - I have changed the date of the event to April 23rd, a Saturday.  This was done in an effort to avoid a holiday people refer to as Easter.

I hope this is okay.

Costumes are almost definitely illegal in Plainville.  Lame-O's.
