Line of SightFor the event a system calledVirtual Line of Sight will be used. However if both playersagree then true line of sight as in the Warhammer Rule book can be used. If players cannot

agree on which is to be used then Virtual Line of Sight must be used. If there is a problemthen speak to a player judge.Virtual Line of SightSize chart:

0: Swarms - models of this size never block line of sight or give cover.

1: Infantry, War Beasts and War Machines2: Cavalry, Monstrous Infantry/Cavalry/Beasts, Chariots and Unique without the Large

Target rule3: Monsters and all Large Targets

Line of sight is always checked virtually, drawn "base to base". Models see in their front 1/4zone. Line of Sight is blocked by models that are equal to or larger than both: the modelwhose line of sight we are checking and its target.

Line of sight and war machines:

Catapults (and similar) can place their template so that the centre is over any one unit that is

at least partially visible to them.

Cannons can choose any point between themselves and a visible target when firing. Over- orunder-guessing to shoot at units the cannon does not have line of sight to is not allowed

Terrain

Hills are size two for each level (so a 3-step hill is size 6) and block sight / give hard cover

just like models of that size. Models standing on hills add the hill size to their own size.

Buildings and large rocks always block line of sight completely. Forests do not block line of

sight, but soft cover applies to all shots fired through or into (but not out of) forests. Ruins donot block line of sight, but hard cover applies to all shots fired into (but not through/out of)

ruins. Units standing behind obstacles gain soft (wood) or hard (stone) cover as per the RB.

Cover from intervening units/terrain

Cover is granted when at least 50% of models in target unit are fully or partially obscured by

other units/terrain from the shooting model. In order for intervening models to grant cover,

their size must be at least: one point smaller than both the target unit and the shooting model.

Skirmishers

Skirmishers never block LoS, and are seen in accordance with their size on the chart, butprovide cover as per the above rules. The gap between skirmishers is treated as part of the

unit when determining if skirmishers give cover to something behind them. Skirmishersformed up for combat block Line of Sight like normal units.

Tournament ScoringSystem

Generalship(Worth 120 tournament points) Victory points aredetermined using the 20 point scoring system, which

uses the difference between the VPs you and youropponent score to give you a number of tournament

points between 20 and 0 for each game. The chartexplains this in detail.

Sports ScoringDuring the tournament no sports scores will be used.During game 6 you will be given a slip to nominate

your Most Sporting Opponent.

Should you have any issues with your opponent orwould like to speak to the Tournament Organizers

about your game, please approach a Player Ref orcome to the Scoring Station after your game.

Best Painted ArmyDuring lunch time on both days players will beasked to set up their army so they can be checked by

the painting judges as well as allowing players toview their army so they can fill in their best painted

army vote. The player whose army gets the mostvotes will win the Best Painted Army award.

The slip for best nominating your best painted army

will be in the rules pack you receive whenregistering.

10 tournament points will be given to each playerwho hands in their Best Army slip. This is to

encourage players to make sure they vote.

There are 20 tournament points awarded for

painting.

Painting MarksAfter filling out your name, please leave this painting checklist out with your army whenrequested to do so and Judges will mark your army. Each tick will be worth 2 tournament

point. This can give you a maximum of 20 tournament points.

Your Name:

Base ColoursModels are painted to a minimum of 3 colours each.

BasesBases are textured in some manner, flock is the minimum. Just flat painted doesnt count.

TidinessIs the painting tidy i.e. are the colours used in the correct areas of the models or does the paint look like it has

been blobbed on?

HighlightingModels have been shaded / highlighted. Some attempt has been made to add depth to the base colours. Thiscould be just a dry brush and ink wash, or multiple layers of colours.

CohesivenessIs there a unified scheme across the whole army i.e. does it look like an army. Note for some armies it is

perfectly acceptable to have a hodgepodge appearance and yet still look like an army.
