Painting requirements:
There are no painting requirements, however everything should be built and be on suitable round/oval bases if possible. Square bases can be used as a last resort! There will be a prize for best single painted army and a prize for the best paired army, so try your best to be on rounds!
Army Lists
Armies should be selected using the most recent points values and using the most recent warscrolls and FAQs. Both players army is to be selected up to a max of 1250 points (2 battleline required). Forge world and endless spells can be used.
Army lists need to be emailed to the TO 3 days prior to the event so the first two games can be matched up accordingly. EMAIL: shorehamttgaming@outlook.com your lists.
As well as selecting artefacts from your Battletome (or Grand Alliance), you can also state your army is from one of the Realms as per page 79 of Malign Sorcery. This will allow you to select Artefacts of the Realms for your army as described there.
As well as this only one unique character can be taken between both players armies, for example if player 1 takes Archaon then player 2 would not be able to take him in their army.
Allegiance, Realm, General, Command Traits, Artefacts, Battletome specific spells etc are all to be picked on your army list and should not change over the course of the event.
Battleplans
The first battleplan will be picked on the day by rolling D3 and D6 from the GHB and next two will be decided by TO on the day.
Scoring
Scoring will be done on:
Major Victory = 15
Minor Victory = 9
Draw = 6
Minor Loss = 3
Major Loss = 0
You will also gain an additional 5 points each time you complete one of your hidden agendas which can be found at: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wpcontent/uploads/2018/09/AoS2_GHB19_Hidden_Agendas_Download-1-1.pdf
In the event of a tie we will use best sports votes as the main tie breaker followed by kill points – so keep a note of total points killed (excluding summoned units during the battle) The first two match ups will be determined randomly prior to the event and then we will use the ‘swiss’ system to determine the third match up.
Awards:
There will be prizes awarded to the team that gets 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
There will also be the best prize, the legendary wooden spoon.
We will also give a prize for the best single painted army and the best team army, voted by the players on the day.
At the start of each hero phase you will generate 1 command point per team, not per player.
Spells can only be used once per team, not player.
When playing games your individual armies are counted as one, therefore, if one player has paid the points for an endless spell then both players wizards can attempt to cast it.
An individual's army may be from a different allegiance to your teammates, it can even be from a different grand alliance if you wish.
Each player selects a general for their army (each team will effectively have 2 generals)
If both players have access to the same batte traits then it is used once for the army, for example if both players are using Nurgle armies then both players would share the same cycle of corruption, as well as this, if both players are using Legion of Nagash armies then you would share the 4 gravesites.
Please Note: Refunds can only be issued on tickets up to 14 days before the event.
