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 50 points (and no fewer than 48 points).  Each player is allowed to use one of the two 50 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 ~100 minutes.  

• Each player turn will last a maximum of 12 minutes.

• Each player will have one 6 minutes turn extension to use each game.

• 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)

I'll definitely have 50 points set by then, I'm in.

2 Questions: IS this 50 or 35 point steamroller? Thread Titles and First post do not match. And do I get bonus points for it being on my birthday?

I went through the damn thing too!  I changed all the stuff relevant to 50 point events... except the most important part.  :(

Quick question... if we're doing pre-reg, do we need to submit our 50 point lists to you then as well?  Or just have the lists when we get there on Nov 12th?

You do not need to submit any list ahead of time.

I ask that interested players pre-reg if they know they are going to play so that I have an idea of how many tables to set up the night before the event.

I'm 50/50 on this. I really want to go, but Panda is having a doubles tournament for 40k the same day, and I told my cousin I'd play with him if he wants. I'm waiting to hear back from him now. But if he says no, I'll be there with so much Cryx nastiness you'll need a bio-hazard suit just to play me.

Oh KhorneaGuant (btw that just seems like an odd mix.  An alien hormaguant that worships Khorne.  Sounds cheezy of that gaunt jk) you make me want to bring my Cryx as well.  I don't think I have ever played them in a 50 point tournament before.  Man Trolls, Cryx, or Circle?  Hmmmmm.
