Tournament Rules Breakdown

Now that tournaments have had time to mull over the new book, they have started announcing their changes for their initial tournaments. Here is a quick rundown of what has been announced.

Feast of Blades Qualifiers:
1999 +1 points
- Qualifiers will NOT be using "mysterious terrain," rules.
- Qualifiers will NOT be using "Archotech artefacts" rules (p 106)
- Qualifiers will NOT be using "unique terrain," rules (p. 107)
- Qualifiers will NOT be using "Warlord Traits," rules

Nova Open GT:
1999 +1 points
Set Terrain
Forts minus Skysheild & Fortress
Warlord Traits:
- First, nominate 2 of the 3 Warlord Traits tables
- Second, roll 1d6 for each of the 2 nominated tables
- Finally, select one of your two results to be your Warlord Trait for the game
- You may NOT roll twice on the same table
- This ruling is for the purposes of this Primer
- If you roll the Warlord Personal trait that awards 1 additional “Victory Point” for every Character your Warlord kills, change this to instead
award 50 Points toward your Competitive Rating and Tiebreaker for every Character your Warlord kills

BeakyCon
- 1999 points (no double FOC lists)
- Allies are in
- Fliers are in
- Warlord Traits are out
- Fortification is in...
No Fortress of Redemption though. If you play a non Imperial army you can bring a custom built fortification but it must closely match the dimensions of those from GW such as the Aegis Defense Line... No modeling for a gaming advantage.
- The following rules from the 6th edition rulebook will not be used:
• Mysterious terrain (p.102)
• Archotech artefacts (p 106)
• Unique terrain (p. 107)
- Each mission will have a primary objective (e.g., control the most objective markers) with two tie breakers (e.g., Slay the Warlord, Linebreaker, etc.). The format is still pure W-L with six rounds and one undefeated player. Note that the following rules for missions from the rulebook will not be used:
• First Blood victory condition (p. 122)
- Armies must be fully painted (3 color minimum and bases flocked).
