Warband Selection​

You will require a Warband of no more than 1,000 points to play at this event.

Details for choosing your Warband can be found on page 60 of the Warcry Core Book. In addition, Warbands for this event must adhere to the rules presented in the ‘Tournament Roster’ section on page 96 of the Warcry core book.

Allies, Thralls and Monsters are permitted at this event. Players choosing to add them to their Warband should follow the rules presented on page 76 of the Warcry Core Book.

Divine Blessings, found on page 27 of The Bunker - White Dwarf issue 490 may be used at this event.

Warband rosters should be presented in an easy to read format. The roster should include your Dagger, Shield and Hammer choices, plus the points value and type of each fighter. An example of a blank tournament roster can be found on page 160 of the Warcry Core Book.

Scoring and Pairing​

After each game, players need to report the result of the game, as either a win, a draw or a loss for each player. These results will determine how many Tournament points each player gains over the course of the tournament, which will determine final ranking at the end of the event. In addition, players also need to report their total victory points and kill point total after each game, which are used as tiebreakers.

  • Win = 5 Tournament points
  • Draw = 3 Tournament points
  • Loss = 1 Tournament point

The first tie-breaker will be victory points, which are scored during games. The second tie-breaker will be a kill point total. This is the total points value of enemy fighters that are taken down.

Your opponent for your first game will be randomly determined. Subsequent rounds will be organised using a swiss system, following the above ranking. If you ever find yourself facing off against a player you have faced previously please contact a member of the events team. Please note Tournament Quests (found in the Core Book) will not be used at this event

Painting Competition​

At this event each player may submit their entire Warband for The Worlds of Warhammer painting competition, however it must be the Warband used at the event.
