Pairings

There will be 5 rounds of gaming. The Goettinger Pairing Program (GoePP) will be used todetermine the pairings for each round as follows:

R1: Players and tables will be randomly drawn (where possible, players from the same clubwill not face each other in this round)R2 R4:Pairings will be determined based on the players current total gaming score,with the exception that you will not have to play against someone you have played against

in a previous round.R5: As with R2 - R4, except you may have to face someone you have already playedagainst.


3/103

In the case that there are an odd number of players, a bye buster player will be added toeven the numbers. They will count as a normal player in all regards.

Missions

For each round, the referee will randomly determine a mission and deployment from therulebook, to be used by all the players for that round. Each mission and deployment will beused twice, and the same combination will not be repeated.

Gaming points

Step 1:- decide who is the winner based on rulebook rules. The winner will score 15points, the loser 5 points, and in the case of a draw, each player will score 10 points.Wiping out the enemy will result in a score of 15 5, regardless of other victory conditions.If both armies are simultaneously wiped out, the score will be 10 10.

Step 2:- Calculate Victory Points (VP) scored, as shown in the rulebook. The player having

the VP difference in his favor gets a bonus, the other player gets a malus as shown:

VP Difference Bonus Malus0 to 249 +0 -0

250 to 499 +1 -1500 to 749 +2 -2750 to 999 +3 -3

1000 to 1249 +4 -41250 or more +5 -5

The bonus or malus will be added to your score from step 1 to give your Gaming Points(GPs) score for that round.

If you concede the game, you will score 0 GPs and 0 VPs, your opponent will score 20GPsand 1500 VPs.

4.2 Army Appearance

Ideally, every model in your army should be fully painted, based, and WYSIWYG (what you see is

what you get), however, players may use models that are not so.

Players will score Army Appearance points as follows:

A - Every model in your army is fully painted, you will score 5 TPs, otherwise 0 TPs.

B - If every model has a painted and textured base, you will score 5 TPs, otherwise 0 TPs. C - If every model in your army is WYSIWYG, you will score 5 TPs, otherwise 0 TPs.

Add your score from A, B, C to get an Army Appearance score between 0 and 15.

The minimum standard for fully painted will generally be that the whole model is base coated, inat least 3 colours, in a sensible colour scheme (randomly splashing 3 colours on the model isntenough).

Clear plastic flying stands do not have to be painted or based.


4/104

Models should be based on the correct sized base.

For reference:

25mm: Infantry and jump infantry

40mm: Beasts and cavalry, bikes and jetbikes, swarms, Terminators, Obliterators, Mega-

armour, exo-armour. Jetbikes must be based 20mm high at minimum. Bikes, beasts andcavalry can also use the new "bike bases" with round edges

60mm: Monstrous Creatures, artillery or heavy weapons teams, walkers, skimmers, trikes.Skimmers must be based 30mm high at minimum.

Large oval base: (Valkyrie base): Valkyrie, Vendetta, Stormraven, Tervigon, Trygon,Mawloc, Tyrannofex.

Independent characters must be based on the type of base from the corresponding unit

referencebase.

Non-GW, heavily converted and scratch built models are welcome, but they should beeasily identifiable. Modelling for advantage is not allowed. If your version of an existing GWmodel is of a different size to the original, then consider it to be the standard size for line ofsight purposes etc.

Forgeworld models may be used to represent other models.

9.0 In Game Issues9.1 Time

There should be enough time to finish all your games. However, if you do not get your gamefinished in time, then it is imperative that both players get to play the same number of turns. Thiswill be done either by continuing the game into the break, or rolling back the game to the

previous turn. A timer will show how much time is left in the round, and warnings will be given asthe round nears completion. Players will not be allowed to deliberately stall the game. If you feelthat your opponent is doing this then bring it to the attention of a referee, who will takeappropriate action.

9.2 Rules Queries

If you encounter a situation that you cannot resolve amicably using the rulebook, codices andFAQs, then bring it to the attention of a referee. If no answer exists, they will give a ruling basedon common sense, or widely used tournament clarifications (e.g. the ETC clarifications). If there is

still no solution then they will d6 it. If you have any issues that youd like to get cleared up inadvance then send them [email protected].

9.3 Difficult Opponent

Most gamers play in a friendly, fair and sporting manner, but occasionally you encounter one whoseems more concerned with being awkward than with playing the game. If you are unfortunateenough to encounter such an individual, then please bring it to the referees attention ASAP. Theywill take appropriate action to ensure that the game is played properly.
