Mar 19 Razor Valley Charity Series Highlander Tournament (1750)

[AbusePuppy]

Once again we down in Corvallis will be hosting the next of our charity tournament series. To give things a little bit of a shake-up, this month we will be running the event under slightly different rules than usual- however, the goal is the same, to have a good time and bring to the fore all aspects of the hobby from playing to painting to writing. Last calendar year we raised over $400 for our charity with the help of sponsors such as Kromlech, Spellcrow, and Gamemats.eu; we're looking to double that or more this year and we hope you all will help us.

The entry fee for the tournament is $20, and includes a lunch on the day of the event. We have a number of prizes to raffle off to participants and all players always receive a grab bag with an item unique to the event courtesy of Vreda Forge. Like all of our tournaments in the Razor Valley series, this event will be ITC-sanctioned and use the current ITC FAQs, though it will use a nonstandard set of missions and list creation guidelines. To whit:

• Armies are built from 1750pts and no more than three detachments. You must have a printed (or written) copy of your list to turn in to the TOs and to show opponents.
• As this is a "highlander" event, there will be no duplicate units or detachments. The only exception to this is troop units, which you may duplicate if you have already taken one of every troop available to your army. (Note: this does not apply to dedicated transports taken as troops, which are still considered to be unique.)
• Note that named versions of characters (e.g. Librarian Tigurius) and "near-identical" versions (e.g. Land Raider Crusader/Redeemer) are considered to be the same as their standard counterparts for purposes of uniqueness. This also applies to different versions of the same unit from separate codices (e.g. BA and SM Tactical Marines.)
• Armies may not include any formations, nor any gargantuan creatures nor superheavy vehicles. An exception will be made for armies consisting entirely of Imperial Knights, though they still are prohibited from bringing formations.
• We will be allowing all Forge World rules at the event, subject to the above restrictions, and the rules from Death from the Skies will be in full effect.

We ask that all participants have models fully-assembled and WYSIWYG if they wish to use them in the tournament; we allow armies that are not painted/based, but such players will not be eligible for awards. Unlike many tournaments we encourage players to write up a backstory or information about their army- in fact, we have a prize for Best Lore that is voted on by the tournament participants, so break out those pencils and write your way into history.

Additional details, as well as pre-registration (which is strongly encouraged) and information, pictures, lore submissions, and more from past tournaments are available on our tournament's webpage. Any questions can be submitted to the email address there, posted here to Ordo, submitted to myself via PM, or posted on our Facebook page for the event.
