Warhammer 40K Narrative Tournament - “Shadows from Beyond” - 3/12/2022

Shadows from Beyond
Warhammer 40k: Narrative Tournament
Saturday, March 12, 2022

Welcome to “Shadows from Beyond”, a Warhammer 40K Narrative Event held at Atomic Empire. This will be an event with 1v1 battles generally following the 40K 9th Edition Rule Set.
However, as a Narrative Event, missions will have customized scoring elements, environmental hazards (or benefits), and unique risk and reward elements for every faction.
The intent with this event is to create a fun and casual atmosphere that breaks up the usual game mode for Warhammer 40K. First and foremost - players should enjoy their games and be a good opponent. Due to the nature of the game, every game will have a winner and a loser (OK, there may be a rare tie!). Sportsmanship, camaraderie, and immersion with all elements of the Warhammer 40K hobby are just as important, if not more important, than who wins a single game or the event itself.

The Tournament will begin promptly at 10:30am on Saturday, March 12th, 2022. After announcements and any specific questions, pairings for Round 1 will be announced and play will begin.

Event Rules

Tournament: This single day event will feature 3 games. All games will be 1 player vs 1 player games.

Battlesize: Strike Force (2,000 points limit, players start with 12 Command Points)

Board Size: 60 inches x 44 inches

Missions: Missions will be custom made for this event and will be revealed at the beginning of each round, after pairings have been revealed.
All missions will still consist of 5 Battle Rounds, with primary and secondary scoring elements like those found in the Warhammer 40K 9th Edition GT Mission Packet.

Rules Cutoff: Any codexes, supplements, FAQs, or erratas must be released/available for purchase physically in stores by Friday, March 4th, 2022 in order to be utilized for the event.

Army Selection:

Follow the “Muster Armies” step in Chapter Approved: Grand Tournament Mission Pack 2021

Any other restrictions or updates to this process (such as the limit to 2 units with the Aircraft role) that have been posted by Games Workshop will also be in effect.

Event Specific Updates for Army Selection:
Due to the unique nature of this event, several additional rules will be utilized for mustering armies and army construction:

Other than Troops and Dedicated Transport units, no unit can be included in an army list more than TWICE.

Any stratagems used when mustering your army (examples include but are not limited to: stratagems to upgrade units, purchase additional relics or warlord traits) can only be used once.

Armies can only include 1 named character. However, named characters will be considered to have the Warlord Trait that is assigned to them in their faction’s Codex or Supplement, even if they are not the Army’s designated warlord. In such situations, no other character other than this named character can ever select this warlord trait.

If your army is including multiple detachments, at least one of those detachments MUST be a Battalion or Brigade detachment.
