MODELS AND POINTS:______________________________________________________________________________
Rules changes:• Two characters per unit (owner's choice) will get "look out sir" versus the following spells that automatically kill models or automatically remove an entire regiment: Dwellers Below, Final Transmutation, Dreaded 13th. Normal requirements for lookout sir apply.
• All BSBs can take all the equipment, their unit type has access to as if they weren't BSBs.
General Restrictions:• No Special or Named Characters.
• An army may have up to 4 war machines and/or shooting template weapons. War machines 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 ½ a war machine (round up).
• Any item that auto-dispels a spell counts as generating 1 dispel dice each magic phase.
• Folding Fortress is not allowed.
• Units cannot be more than 40 models or 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:• No duplicate non-signature spells (not including bound spells) and max 2 Spirit Leech (Signature spells are spells you can swap other spells to).
• An army may use up to maximum 12 power dice during each phase.
• Players can use maximum 5 power dice to cast a spell. For spells from Lore of Death/Lore of Shadow/Lore of Hashut, this max is lowered to 4 power dice.
• Apart from Winds of magic, an army may only use 2 power/dispel dice per magic phase. After an army generates the limit all the other extra dice are discarded. This includes channeled power dice/dispel dice.
• You may have units/abilities that actually would generate more than 2 extra dice, but any excess dice are lost.
• Some magic items/abilities count as generating dice toward this limit. “Count as” items/abilities may never exceed a cumulative 2 power dice/dispel dice per phase. This means that a player who already spent his limit power dice limit, can't take more items which “count as adding power dice” or add power dice from channeling during game (same for dispel dice).
• All modifiers are applied from the army list and will not change during the game.

HOW THE TOURNAMENT WORKS:______________________________________________________________________________
• Competitors will participate in three (3) games over the course of the day. In each game, you
will play a scenario and record the outcome of the battle on your results sheet. Each round you
will play a different opponent. Each round will last 2.5 hours.
• 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 (based on the number of points they've scored) 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. If a player receives a BYE they will be awarded the average of the winning players points for the round.
• You will not play the same person twice.
• We will do our best to prevent a player from playing on the same table 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.
• Slow playing will
NOT be tolerated. If you suspect your opponent is slow playing PLEASE notify a Battleground staff member as soon as possible as we can not do anything about alleged slow play after the fact.
• Each game will be played on a 4' x 6' board.
• Players will receive Results 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 Results Sheets are completed they are to be turned in at the counter so the scores can be entered into the computer.
BATTLES:______________________________________________________________________________
The Eighth Edition Rulebook (and all relevant GW FAQ) will be in use for all games and will be the definitive guide for all rules. The time limit for each game is
2.5 hours. At the end of this time limit, the round will be called; all players will need to finish their game
immediately (dice down), and no additional time will be provided.
Scenarios will be posted at a later date.SCORING:______________________________________________________________________________
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 ¼ strength still only yiled 50% VP’s.
