OFFICIAL AOS 2018 TOURNAMENT PACK
FAQ
All Current Games Workshop FAQ’s will be used.
ROUNDS & TIMES
4-5 Tournament Rounds, 2-Day Event (2-3 games Saturday, 1-2 games Sunday) : (depending on attendance)
3 hour rounds
WARHAMMER AOS EVENT TIMES:
Saturday : Player Check in at 8 AM, Dice Roll at 8:30 am (2-3 games with 1 hour lunch break)
Sunday : Dice Roll at 8:30 am (1-2 games, half hour break and awards)
PAINTING, MODELLING & COMPOSITION
DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE RELEASE DATE OF 2ND EDITION TO THE EVENT, There will be NO Painting Requirements for this year ONLY. THERE WILL BE MODELING REQUIREMENTS (See below). No painting or composition scores will be calculated into the overall Scores. Although painting quality is not a factor in the overall score, there will be an award for Best Painted Army at the event.
ALL models must be WYSIWYG! Exceptions MAY be made for themed units or armies. Each model must completely and accurately represent its entry on your army roster (including all weapons and equipment). Furthermore, you need to contact us to let us know about any conversions you are planning on using, and MUST provide us with photos of ALL models in question. Don’t worry – we fully appreciate spectacular modelling skills, but we just want to make sure everything is super clear for your opponent so that no confusion can arise during games. Player’s are required to email us to approve any conversions/etc. To protect everyone’s experience, you will be required to remove any models that have not been approved, from the table, immediately.
Players caught playing more than the specified points limit will receive at the minimum a current round loss and possibly a round loss for every game before and will not be able to continue until the list is corrected and approved by ATC staff.
Players are responsible for bringing a Legal Army List. If you have any second guesses or doubts, it is your responsibility to double check with the ATC staff BEFORE coming to the event. Players found playing with an illegal list will not be allowed to continue in the event until the list is corrected and may suffer a deduction of all points awarded up to the time in the event when the illegal list is discovered.
A player that is found to be playing a different list other than the list presented to the ATC staff and other players will be penalized according to ATC staff judgement/assessment of the situation.
SPORTSMANSHIP
Sportsmanship will be taken into account. Sportsmanship is always a very important factor in all of our events. We are playing a game (supposedly for fun) and any unsportsmanlike behavior will not be tolerated. Players yelling or being abusive towards other players or ATC staff will be removed from the event and may face a possible ban in future events. There will be a reasonable warning and penalty system in effect.
Sportsmanship scores are used only to help inform the event coordinators and judges of any conduct issues that may need to be addressed.
We expect all players to see the game through to the very end and not concede, as doing so can impact tiebreakers and, ultimately, the final rankings. In the unlikely event that a player does concede before the game has reached its natural conclusion, then the conceding player earns a loss, with no extra victory conditions (e.g. Slay the Warlord).
So it looks like for this one all realm rules are a non-factor, and missions are assigned, five of the six coming from the new Generals Handbook.
