What to Bring

  • An Army. Fully painted is not required but fully built is. To win the best painted award you army must be fully painted.
  • Models must be based on appropriate bases as described in Games Workshop’s basing guide.
  • All unit options and command models must be shown on the models - aka WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get).
  • Proxies are not allowed. “Alternative” models are more than welcome, but a Free Guild Griffin representing a Terrorgheist will not work. If you are unsure, please email us beforehand, and we’ll sort it out. We’re happy to make concessions for particularly themed armies.
  • Gaming aids:
    • Dice and tape measure
    • A set of the Rules or access to a PDF/App on a mobile device
    • The General’s Handbook - either hard copy or digital
    • A copy of all your rules or access to the Warhammer app
    • Printed army lists for your opponent each game and TO

Event Rules

Army Composition:
Armies will be comprised of up to 2000 points using composition rules in the Pitched Battles section of the General’s Handbook 2022. For this event, we will fix the unit costs on December 10th, and any new warscrolls released after this date will not be allowed.

Allegiance Abilities, Artifacts, Spells, Etc:
Grand Strategies, Command Traits, Enhancements, (Artifacts, Mount Traits, etc.) as well as any spells, prayers, etc. must be included on your lists when you submit your lists in the BCP app. These will not change throughout the course of the tournament.

Battle Tactics and Grand Strategies
Only Battle Tactics and Grand Strategies from the GHB 2022 are allowed for this event. No battletome or White Dwarf tactics or strategies are allowed.

Terrain:
Every table will be set up with terrain prior to the start of the GT. All terrain will be pre-labeled with tokens using the Mysterious Terrain table (28.1.3). Do not roll on the table as described on page 11 of the GHB.

If a player has faction terrain that is placed prior to set up, that player may nudge table terrain to allow faction terrain to fit. We ask that you use common sense here. The intent is that table terrain is moved the minimum distance required. Please consult a TO if there is a dispute.

Similarly, if an objective marker cannot sit flat, or if an objective marker interacts with a terrain feature in a way that will lead to a negative play experience (on a hill, etc.), players may nudge terrain to accommodate the objective marker as long as both players agree.

Defensible Terrain:
There will be a variety of types of terrain features used at the GT. Use rule 17.1.2 as a guide for what is and is not defensible. If there is still a question, we encourage players to resolve the issue between themselves.

If there is still a dispute, the TO will decide if a terrain piece is defensible.

Army Submission
All army lists are required to be created using Warscroll Builder, or the AoS App.
Army lists are due December 10 by 11:59PM EST. Submit lists through the BCP App.

Players that submit lists on time will receive 2 additional Tournament Point.

Scoring

Becoming the Tournament Champion:
The Tournament Champion will be the person with the most Tournament Points (TPs) at the end of 3 games of Age of Sigmar. Players will be randomly drawn against an opponent in round 1 and then the Swiss chess system will be used to pair off entrants in subsequent rounds. You cannot play the same person more than once during the event. If you are drawn against someone you have previously played, a tournament official will swap you.

Awards:
Best Overall - Player with most TPs. Ties decided by the following tie breakers: 1. Victory point differential, 2. Battle Tactics achieved, 3. Strength of schedule
Best General - Player that scores the most TPs for battle. Tie breaks same as Best Overall. Best Painted – Best painted army as voted by the players.
Tactician - Player that completes the most Battle Tactics and does not win Best Overall. Ties decided by TPs.
Best Sport - Most favored opponent as decided by votes received from the Players.

Wooden Spoon - Last place.

Scoring:
We will be using the Glorious Victory system from the GHB ‘21 battleplans for all games. Additionally, we will be asking players to track the total number of victory points scored, monsters killed, generals killed, and Battle Tactics achieved over the course of each game. We will use this data to inform prizes and tie breakers.

Score sheets will be provided to each player to effectively track all the above.

Game Points:
Major Victory: 25 TPs
Minor Victory: 20 TPs
Draw: 15 TPs
Minor Loss: 10 TPs
Major Loss: 5 TPs
Grand Strategy: 5 TPs
Battle Tactic: 1 TP

Max score per game is 35 points.

On-Time Army List Submission: 2TP
Best Painted army and Favorite Opponent:
-Getting a vote = 1TP
-Runner up = 2TP
-Winner = 4TP
