December 17, 2011 @ 11am.  We will be opening the doors at 10:00am for the final registrants, and we will be starting the event at 11am.

ENTRY:
$15 entry
LISTS ARE DUE THURSDAY, December 15th!  If your list isn’t turned in by this day, you will lose 5 points in Sportsmanship.
Email lists to John at john@conwaygaming.com.
**REMEMBER: THERE ARE ONLY 20 GUARANTEED SPOTS AVAILABLE TO THIS EVENT! PRE-REG EARLY

PLAYERS:
All players will be required to have:
-a copy of the Warhammer Fantasy Rulebook
-their army’s codex
-templates/dice/etc.
-painting NOT required but encouraged
-Lists will be printed for people who turned in their early enough for free.  Anyone who did not will be required to have two copies of their list (one for us and one for opponents).

RULES AND SCENARIOS:
Teams will consist of TWO 1,250 point armies, making a 2,500 point Team Army on each side.  If you’re unsure if a rule or ability you have will affect your partner, please ask before the tournament as it is harder to make a fair judgment mid-game.

Scenarios will be made by me, and will be posted ahead of time (hopefully).  Rounds will be 3 hours long.

SCORING:
All battles will give scores of 16 for a win, 8 for a draw, and 4 for a loss.

Composition Points (choose one BEFORE BATTLE):
5pts – Marshmallow – this army values fluff/theme above competiveness
4pts – This list has been designed with tournaments in mind but has made some softer choices.
3pts – Standard Tournament army – that sweet spot in between fluffy and cheesey, exactly what I expect to see!
2pts – This army is overly hard. It is a little over the top for what should be used at tournaments.
1pt – This army is pure cheddar. It’s the kind of army that requires no skill to win with. Wrap it up and sell it for $1.99/kg in the dairy section of the supermarket.

Sportsmanship Points (choose one):
5pts Everything you expect in a tourney game, I look forward to a rematch
3pts This player was a reasonable sport but could have improved in some area
2pts Some aspect of this game left me wishing I’d drawn a different opponent
0pts Frankly this person was one of the worst opponents I’ve ever faced. I hope I don’t come across them again for a while!

Painting Score (applied by Judge at end of tournament):
1pt – All models painted with a minimum of 3 colours
1pt – All models based and flocked
1pt – Bases have been based with 2 different materials or above average effort has been made
1pt – All models inked/highlighted
1pt – Army has a consistent feel.
1pt – Some models have had minor conversions
1pt – The army has a major conversion or a large number of minor conversions.
1pt – The characters are unique and umm….full of character!
1pt – Can you tell squads apart?
1pt – All models represent their troop type (conversions/non GW minis are ok, it just needs to be obvious what they are being used as)

See you there!

The Overtyrant’s Decree!

     Tradelord Greasus Tribestealer Drakecrush Gatecrasher Hoardmaster Goldtooth the Shockingly Obese has grown bored.  Having become the Overtyrant over the Ogre Kingdoms, he has started to think with organs other than his gut.  He needs to know where his next conquest should take place.  In a stroke of cleverness that most Ogre’s wouldn’t understand let alone appreciate, he sends forth 100 Maneaters to walk the world telling others of his idea.  Greasus has decided to have a contest in his maw-pit!  He declares that any champion that dares may enter his maw-pit and fight to see who the best fighter in the world is!  He offers safe passage along the Silver Road to all who wish to fight.  To the winner Greasus is offering treasure equal to weight of a rhinox from his personal larder.  Legend says that his larder is filled with gems, gold, and magical items from as far as Cathay and Lustria.  

     Greasus will keep his word to the winner and the riches are the champions to take back to his homeland.  Naturally the true purpose of his contest is to find a land that is worthy of conquest.  Naturally Greasus isn’t worried about the loss of treasure.  His real plan is to invade the winner’s land and take his treasure back along with anything else he comes across as he plunders and conquers! Har! Har! Haaaaaaar!    

The Overtyrant has called all combatants to CGC on October 22 @ NOON.  Entry fee will be $5 which will be only to appease the Great Maw.  Top 2 Finishers will be getting paid out in store credit.

The MAW PIT battle rules

• Any hero combination up to 250 points max 2 heroes, characters must be named and are allowed to be special characters
• No mounts
• No missile weapons
• No wizards, this is a contest of strength!  
• There is a one time bonus of 5 points for the figure being fully painted
• Each entrant will have 3 different builds for their hero choices each build must be different, no duplicate items between builds.  Designate each build with a number between 1 and 3
• 5 rounds
• Each round your opponent will roll a d6 1-2 will be build one, 3-4 will be build two, 5-6 will be build three.
• 3 points for a win, 1 point for a loss
• Loser from previous round may challenge any other player in the next round, but they can’t challenge the same person two rounds in a row.  The player with the lowest accumulated points gets the first challenge, then the next lowest, etc. until all player have been challenged.
• Can’t use same build two rounds in a row.
•  There is no combat resolution; this is just a straight slugfest.  You place the two models in base contact and the guy who dies loses
• The one with the most points after 5 rounds wins; if there is a tie the combatants will have a final match.
