seapheonix Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Hello all, I'm going to be running the warhammer 40k tournament again this year at PAX. I'l have tournament information and such up here as well as answer any questions that come up on dakka, and elsewhere. I'm still hammering out details as I go, and looking forward to reports from upcoming events, such as BAO. Following will be at least the rough who, what, when, and where for everyone to start planning. Who: Two parts to this actually. For the team tournament, you and a friend each get 1000 points of army together. Think up a cool team name, and bring all associated army rules for the game. There will be no ally restrictions, so if you've always wanted to bring that Tyranid/Tau duo force to take on that ultramarine/daemon army. (Following the proscribed BAO combined arms detachments rules, allowing same codex formations, but not additional allies.) After all, you already have an ally. Singles tournament: Just bring you, all associated army rules, and your 1500 points of army. What: The prize you ask? Winner of the single tournament will get a golden ticket for a TSHFT tournament, Doubles tournament winner will each get a model case from mantis models, (see link below). Cost is simply the ticket you purchased for PAX in the first place. When: Singles tournament will be Friday August 29th, also starting as close to 10:30 as possible. Doubles tournament will be Saturday August 30th starting as close to 10:30 as possible. Where: Downtown seattle near the convention center. Last year we were located at the Hyatt olive 8. Once I have the official location and such, it shall be posted here. Why: Well, because it is fun. mantis models. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/932371889/mantis-model-storage-case Current rough guidelines for army construction and mission play will be modeled after the BAO. Information to be found here: http://www.frontlinegaming.org/community/bay-area-open-2014/bao-tournament-format/ Tournament packet PAX TOURNEY 40K Welcome to your PAX tournament packet. We will get right down to it and begin with how you win. There are a possible 60 battle points through winning and losing games. However you can exceed this with tertiary points. We will be using primary, secondary, and tertiary objectives. Primary: Accomplish this and you win the match Win = 14 BP, Draw = 9 BP, Loss = 6 BP Secondary: Even losing the primary, with this and the secondary you can almost equal your opponent. Win = 6 BP, Draw = 3 BP, Loss = 0 BP Tertiary: A loss, secondary, and tertiary points can allow you to equal your opponent. 0 ~ 2 BP Table set up: Your table will be set up before you arrive at it, if terrain has been jumbled around by previous users, or you feel the set up is inadequate. Ask a moderator and we will be happy to shuffle terrain. Fortifications: Place fortifications at least 1" from any other terrain. If you cannot achieve this, remove the offending piece of terrain. Mysterious objectives/forests/archeotype artifacts: There will be no randomly generated mysterious objectives or terrain pieces for this tournament. Army composition 1500 point limit 2 detachments, total 1 of which must be a combined arms detachment, or faction specific detachment. Warlord: Your warlord may be chosen from any of your detachments. 1 CAD/Faction detachment: CAD and ally rules will follow the BAO design. http://www.frontlinegaming.org/community/bay-area-open-2014/bao-tournament-format/ 1500 point tournament Name_________________________ Army________________________ Round one: Opponents Name _____________________________ Step 1.

fluger Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I wish I had the money/time to go to PAX. Hopefully this tournament runs well! Best of luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgosaurusrex Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 This looks like a lot of fun but I don't want to spare the PAX time to play. Warhammer tournaments happen throughout the year, but PAX happens once a year! I will definitely stop by and check out the event though.
