What is Ruinstorm?

Ruinstorm is a Warhammer 40,000 tournament held annually by the

Leicester Phats Cats. This is the third year we have ran the event, and every year has proven to be bigger and better than the last, this year will

be no exception!

Ruinstorm gets the honour of being the opening event in the newly crowned Midlands Master Series (MMS) which will mean Ruinstorm be-comes part of much wider network of events., and your results will be

added into the Midlands Ranking system.

Armies will be built using the methods laid out in the “Midlands 40k Mas-ters Series 2015/16 Season” standards pack .

3 games of Warhammer 40,000 7th Edition will be played over the day with armies of no more than 1650 points.

At the end of the day a champion shall be crowned, and prizes will be

available to pick up for 1st Place, 2nd Place, 3rd Place, Best painted and Sportsman.

All MMS events will use the following construction guide for building an army with the exception of Highlander style events which will be down to the individual event. Standard CAD – As described in the Warhammer 40,000 Rulebook Alternative CAD – Army Specific CAD’S e.g. “Real Space Raiders” from Codex Dark Eldar or “The Legion of the Dammed Detachment” from Codex Legion of the Damned Decurion Style Detachment – Catch all term for an army built using purely detachments with a shared Command Benefits e.g. “The Decurion” from Codex Necron or “Eldar Warhost” Codex Eldar. Formation – As per the Warhammer 40,000 Rulebook. Allies – As per the Warhammer 40,000 Rulebook. Select your primary choice and follow down to add option to your army list. Restrictions and comp are

found below. The comp will be unique to each event so please follow closely.

1) Lords of War may only be present in either the Primary, Secondary or Tertiary picks and never more than one

of those selections (but as with a Knight formation you may have multiple LoW in a single choice).

2) Formations may not be duplicated in an army unless part of a “Decurion” style army.

3) Not all Events will use the Tertiary Choice for army building so please check the event rules pack for confirma-

tion OR contact the Event organiser if unsure. - Ruinstorm will NOT be using this detachment.

Example Leon is writing a list for a tournament but wanted to theme his army around an Armageddon Strike Force so he would look into the forces he wanted to use and decide he wants to start with Astra Militarum army with a Bane-blade using a standard CAD he then decided an Assassin would be a cool addition so adds a Officio Assassinorum Detachment alternative CAD and then to round it of its time for some Blood Angel reinforcements using the Strike Force Mortalis Formation giving him 3 forces to command in battle.

Gaming There will be 3 Games of Warhammer 40,000 7th Edition, each lasting no longer than 2 Hours, 15 minutes. Each round will use a different unique Ruinstorm scenario. The first round draw will be random pairings (avoiding Club/Team mates, unless a Grudge Match is asked for) and after that the rounds will be Swiss. You will not face the same player twice, ex-cept if in the last round your true Swiss pairing puts you against the same opponent, and you can place in the top 3. Over the course of the day a total of 63 TP’s can be achieved from gaming, and a further 8 Points will be available for ‘Soft Scores’. For a total of 71 TP’s for the day. Soft Scores… 1 point will be available for players who have their Faction correct on the Tiebreak page before the event. If you need it changing message T.O prior to the event for them to do this, alternatively you can edit your own on the Tiebreak page. 5 points will be available for painting, and will be split up in the following way 1 points if all details of all models are painted in at least a basecoat, and it is consistent across the army. 1 point if all models in the force are based with some form of texture, and it is consistent across the army. 3 points if some form of detail has been added to the miniature (Shading, Washes, Highlights etc) and it is consistent across the whole army. 1 point will be given to any player nominated for a Best Painted or a player that receives 2 or more Most Sporting votes. You will need all the current rules and FAQ’s for your army, this is especially true with Forge World units as some opponents may be unfamiliar with them. Only models that have had a 6th edition update either in print or in the DOWNLOAD section may be used. FAQ’s will follow this order. Only Games Workshop or Forge World ones found HERE and HERE may be used. Anything not in either of the above but included in the MMS FAQ is also to be used. Forge World units are welcome at this event and a full list of the available units and their current publications can be found HERE
