Mission Overview
The same mission will be played for each round of the GT.

The Mission will be using battle points.  3 objectives worth 4 battle points each for a total of 12 battle
points.

All standard 40k mission rules are in effect (infiltrate, seize the initiative, random game length, etc.)

40K GT Mission: The mission is all three book missions played simultaneously, each mission is
an objective.  There are 2 Capture and Control markers on 40mm bases, 3 Seize Ground markers on
25mm bases and Kill Points as objectives.  Each objective is worth 4 battle points and tied objectives
worth 2 battle point.

Wipeout:  If you manage to table your opponent you get 12 battle points

The Setup
  • Exchange army lists with opponent and explain units etc.
  • Discuss Terrain.
  • Roll off to see who deploys Seize Ground markers first.  Winning player decides who places first or second.  Whoever places the first marker will also place the 3rd marker and the other player will place the second marker.  Seize Ground markers can be placed anywhere on the table at least 12” from table edge and 12” from each other.  
  • Roll to see who chooses to go first or second.
  • Player going first places Capture and Control marker in their deployment zone and must be 12” away from a Seize ground Marker and vice versa.
  • Begin Game, Have fun.

Pairings
The first round will be random after that by similar battle points.

Allowed Armies
All, current codex's and White Dwarf armies (currently only Sisters of Battle) will be playable.

Forge World
Forge World will be allowed on a case by case basis. Must use actual Forge World model or approved conversion. No proxies allowed. (no Super heavies or Gargantuan Creatures)

WYSIWYG
All models are expected to be WYSIWYG as much as is reasonable. Proxies are not permitted. However, counts as armies are acceptable and encouraged. What’s the difference? That can be a tough call to make in some cases. Judges will determine what is acceptable or not and all judgments are final. If you feel your army is questionable, contact a TO in advance to clear any confusion.

Proxies: Using Necron Warriors as Lootas in an Ork army, etc.

Counts As: Using Ultra Marines colored models with Blood Angels rules. Using custom Adeptus Mechanicus converted models with Daemon rules. The key is that everything is easily identifiable and appropriately equipped.

What to bring
  • Your army.
  • A rule book, army book, and game aids such as dice, etc.
  • A copy of your list (Put name on list) for each opponent (6), judges, and yourself (8 total). You do not have to submit your list before the tournament. You are required to give each opponent a copy of your list before each game.
  • 5 objective markers. Two of these must be on 40mm bases, the other 3 on 25mm bases.

Prizes
  • $200 1st Overall: 60% Battle Points 20% Painting 20% Sportsmanship (Ties broken by Sportsmanship)
  • $100 2nd Overall: 60% Battle Points 20% Painting 20% Sportsmanship (Ties broken by Sportsmanship)
  • $50 3rd Overall: 60% Battle Points 20% Painting 20% Sportsmanship (Ties broken by Sportsmanship)
  • $50 Best Painted: At the end of round 5 players will assign 5pts,4pts ,3pts, 2pts and 1pt to each of their opponents, you cannot assign the same score twice. 5pts being the best and 1pt not the best. This does not mean all 5 opponents had nicely painted armies but it's a comparison. (Ties broken by Battlepoints)
  • $50 Best Sportsmanship: At the end of round 5 players will assign 5pts,4pts ,3pts, 2pts and 1pt to each of their opponents, you cannot assign the same score twice. 5pts being the best and 1pt not the best. This does not mean all 5 games were not great but it’s a comparison. (Ties broken by Battlepoints)

Giveaways
Each participant will also receive a custom t-shirt, custom sports bottle and tournament recovery kit.
There will also be random door prizes given out each round.
Refreshments will be provided to tournament participants.

Question: If each "Tied objective" is worth 2 points, does that also mean each contested objective? So if I contest an objective with an empty Rhino, do I also get 2 points?

Or for it to be tied, does it have to be 2 scoring units on the same objective?

Yes, if you contest with empty rhino you get 2 points just like rule book.

Ok, after reading this more I think I understand it a bit better. When you mention that each game will have 3 Objectives, you actually mean that each game we are playing the 3 missions from the book at the same time.

If you get more Kill Points than your opponent, you get 4 Battle Points. If you control more Sieze Ground objectives than your opponent, (There will be 3 in each game) you get 4 Battle Points. Last, if you control more Capture and Control objectives, (There will be 2 in each game) you also get 4 Battle Points. For a total of 12 available Battle Points.

If there is somehow a tie in the number of "Controlled" objectives either with the Seize Ground or Capture and Control objective markers, each player receives 2 Battle Points.... (I would imagine that it could also happen if both players hit the same number of kill points.) You actually don't get any Battle Points for contesting an objective with an empty vehicle. I had your Mission Objectives confused with the objective markers themselves.

However, all is well and you get full battle points if you just table your opponent. So just bring your 1500 point A-game and let the Emperor sort the rest out later.

A great event with a lot of outstanding people and good looking Armies.
A tough one...the worst I've ever done. But loads of fun.
Sorry for all the coughing though...I just got over a bad cold and still had "Kennel Cough."
The last 5th edition GT for many of us. Congrats to Reece for once again taking 1st with "the worst net-list army ever used."
Thanks to Dave for putting on a top-notch event.
