I proudly present to you the glorious 8th 40k Online tournament in partnership once again with Bracknell Forest Gamers and sponsored for the first time by
Promethean Games.
NOW SOLD OUT
The event will take place on Saturday August 15th at St Paul's United Reformed Church, Lowbury, Harmans Water, Bracknell, Berkshire RG12 9LP.
The Bracknell Forest Gaming club have kindly allowed us access to their hall once again for the whole of the Saturday and will provide us with tables, terrain and even fizzy drinks (though the latter will cost you a little!) Admission to the event is not restricted to members of this site and you may bring along friends, countrymen and extras.
The timetable for the day will look something like this:
Arrive 8.30am
Initial Briefing (With
free tea/coffee and a doughnut)
Game One
Break
Game Two
Lunch
Game Three
Break
Game four
The aim is to finish before 7pm. With this in mind please arrive on time (yes I know pots and kettles…) and try to keep games flowing. The current 40k rules means that games will last between 5 and 7 turns, however there will also be a time limit on your game (to be decided) and once that limit is reached you must end it! Last time this went really smoothly, lets keep it like that!
Rules of the tournament:
The Warhammer 40,000 Revised Edition rules will be used for this tournament, as will the latest Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) documents from the Games Workshop website. In all cases the most recent edition of the Codex will be used.
Each player will require an army of 1500 points or less selected using the Standard Force Organisation Chart and fielded as a single detachment. Every gamer will play four games during the day. The first and second rounds will be determined randomly by drawing names from a hat (or similar such container) the third and fourth rounds will be played against the player with the next highest victory points score (i.e. 1st will play 2nd, 3rd will play 4th etc).
• All models within your armies should conform to “what you see is what you get” (WYSIWYG). In other words, all equipment that can be appropriately shown should be clearly modelled on each miniature. Miniatures do not need to be completely painted. This is to accommodate those gamers who simply would not be able to attend if we enforced this rule.
However, to reward those who do make the effort, additional tournament points will be awarded for:
An entirely undercoated army
Models showing 3 or more colours in an appropriate colour scheme
Models showing 3 or more colours in an appropriate colour scheme and bases with sand or flock
All models in the army must meet the criteria to receive the appropriate level of points. If more than half the number of models in the army meets the criteria half points will be awarded.
• Equipment, vehicles (including flyers) and units detailed in Forge World’s Imperial Armour publications and chapter approved may be used. Units with Structure Points or Mass Points may NOT be. If a vehicle or unit is described in more than one Forge World publication or Chapter approved document, the most recent version must be used. You must have a copy of any rules you wish to use.
• Special Characters (for those armies that still have them listed separately i.e. imperial guard) may be taken as listed in the appropriate codex. Normal restrictions for that character apply e.g. if the army must be at least 2000 points to take the character you may not take him as this tournament is for armies of 1500 points or less. You DO NOT need to ask your opponent’s permission.
I will announce the points system used to score the tournament at a later date for those who like their stats and such like.
Awards at the end of the day will be:
Best General
2nd place
3rd place
Best Army
Most sporting
At this point I am very proud to announce that for the first time ever the 40kOnline tournament will be sponsored by Promethean Games.Promethean Games have kindly offered to provide us with prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, best painted army and most sporting. The prizes themselves are fantastic and provide a great reward for hard work however this is not intended to detract from the aim of the day, which is still all about having fun and enjoying the company of other gamers.
