ARMY CONSTRUCTION AND PAINTING 

Army Construction 

You will require an army of no more than 2000 points to play at this event and contain no Understrength Units. When building your army, use all the most up-to-date Warhammer Age of Sigmar rules found in the Pitched Battle Publications list found in the Generals Handbook.  

Army lists should be presented in an easy to read format, all relevant weapon selections and unit upgrades that should be selected prior to a game with limited extraneous information. 

Modelling and Painting 

All miniatures in your collection must be fully assembled. There are NO painting standards. Conversions/proxies welcome, however, each model must accurately represent its entry on your army roster (e.g. correct base size or number of models in a unit). 

TOURNAMENT FORMAT

TERRAIN

Table Layouts 

Terrain will be set out on tables prior to Game 1. Before each game please adjust the terrain to follow the rules for objective and terrain placement. If you have any issues with terrain placement please ask the staff for help. If the terrain is based, then that base is used to define if a model is Wholly On Terrain. 

Faction Terrain 

Every effort should be made to allow players to use their faction terrain. This only applies to Faction Terrain that is set up before the game begins.
