INTRODUCTION:

Ordinarily a Warhammer 40K

competition is a tournament. This type ofevent is completed within the span of a

single day, thus may be mentally &

physically draining. Without an opportunity

to rest players feel rushed & make

mistakes. Further players may not modify

army lists to suit a new opponent or

different battlefield objectives. Generally

these types of events are restricting to a

players options for a successful battle.

Granted this format serves a

purpose for a large numbers of players. TheWarhost League is contradicting to that

standard model most players are familiar

with, or are possibly even intimidated to

combat in. This League gives you an

opportunity to build an army with a set

number of predetermined points you can

call upon each game. So your player

options are able to change just as a real

commander would make changes with

available resources given the time alongwith your objectives vs. your opponents.

As this is a judged competition, it is

geared to set a standard to the local

gamers skills with initial army building,

then resource delegating within that army

list in preparation of three different game

types explained later in the gaming rules.

To see these rules click Player Ranking

here.

The most important rule is always to

have fun building an army, have fun playing

your army, & to get some enjoyable

acceptance that builds confidence with a

group of your peers. So have fun & enjoy

this first ever competition of who will be

crowned the Columbia SC, Warhost League

Campion!

LEAGUE GOALS:

The Warhost League is an attempt

to do two things. First is to fill a gap in thelack of trophy/award winning 40K leagues

in the Columbia, SC area. The second is to

present a competition away from standard

40k local tournament style. Players in this

League will play six games, one each

weekly. Each Player will score in both

victory points & objective points. Using a

Victory Point & Objective Point system to

see these rules click Player Ranking here.

Using this system there virtual will be no

shut-outs in this competition. Specificallyto you as a player this means scoring is

determined by how you perform in the

game in two areas rather than just one.

Victory points are determined by the Value

difference of the each players remaining

units actual cost end of the game is

detailed below in the League Rules Section.

Objective points are determined by

each players margin of victory collecting &

maintaining Objectives. You can't loseeverything just because you lost by one

objective in an objective-based game, or if

you lose by one less unit in annihilation

based games. Players are scored by their

margin of success in both categories.

Another big feature is the "Warhost"

army style. Players will, within limits, get

the chance to change their army between

matches. A player is asked make a 2000

point army list to be eligible for the league.

This is including all Wargear, upgradeable

abilities/options for all units you may want

to take throughout the league

competitions six games.

From these 2000 points the player

will build a customized 1500 point army for

each game. This way each player will be

familiar with a coming opponent's 2000

point Warhost list; but will not know what

units and abilities out of that Warhost list


3/11

will be selected for any individual game. So

it is important to army build wisely because

you only will have a 500 point wiggle room

out of your 2000 point list for each League

game. Just because you forgot to include a

5 point melta bomb or 10 point rocket from

your 2000 point list, and you have a 25

point banner you never use; you may not

change out one Wargear or equipment that

is not on your set registered army list for

another later on just because it may suit

you better now.

Additionally all players are asked to

use the standard Games Workshop 40KPDF army builder for your Warhost 2000

point army list. You may find the GW PDF

here.

As a player you'll be using it a lot,

also it gives judges legible formats look at.

In addition Scoring Sheets found here are

also going to be provided before each

match to the players. From these sheets

you will perform you scoring and rate eachof your opponents on their sportsmanship

and army paintjob. Although the rewards in

these last two categories, other than an

honorable mention, remain to be seen; but

we'll do our best to accommodate those

players with a prize. But be aware none are

dedicated at this time.

Thanks for competing & good luck!

COMPETITION REQUIREMENTS:

1) All players upon registration mustprovide a $5 non-refundable (under

any circumstances) fee for the sole

purpose of tournament prizes. This

includes trophies and other awards.

All remainders of funds after awards

have been purchased will be paid to

the player in champion standing.

2) Players must be able to provide at

least 1500 points worth of models in

their registered army with no

proxy or substituted models

allowed. Modifications on models

are legal, providing that the main

structure of the unit's model is

assembled in accordance with

manufacturers design. These

modifications cannot be used for

measuring actual vehicle shape for

purposes of facing, concealment,

weapon mounting, line-of-sight or

any other rules that may beaffected. Models are not required to

be painted, but a painting score will

be assigned to a player by all

opponents they play.

3) WYSIYG (What You See Is What You

Get) is partially enforced, and is

described in section 4 of the

Universal Rules section. Players will

not be required to prove their army

is compatible during the registration

process. But may be called to

provide validation of an army list by

your opponent before any game has

started. This is done as the terrain &

game set up is defined. At this time

it is important to clarify any

discrepancies with a Judge so it

does not cost you later in the game.

4) Players are expected to know and

play by the 5th edition of

Warhammer 40,000 rules, know

their armies' & FAQ provided by

Games Workshop. In addition

terrain is defined & will be used in

accordance this rule book.


4/11

5) Players are expected to have reliable

transportation and to be able to

meet on any unanimously agreed

day until the conclusion of the

tournament.

UNIVERSAL RULES:

1) Judging:

Judges will have final call in any

and all rules issues. If a

contested rule is found to be

wrong after judgment, the

Judge's decision still stands.

Therefore, it is in your best

interest to know the rules and

your FAQ extensively in order to

maintain a smooth friendly

gaming experience.

At any time or in any case a

Judge has the ability to, make

any decisions on scoring, rules,

player registry, player

qualification, points scored, or

on any issue whatsoeverregarding the tournament or its

rules.

2) Insubordination:

Arguing or hostilities toward a

player or Judge will result in the

offending player's forfeit of the

match. In addition to keep in the

favor of sportsmanship, the

offending player may receive asingle warning per game. Any

additional case within same

game will result in a forfeiture of

the match. Thus the offending

player will concede this game &

any points earned up to this

point may be awarded to the

opposing player. In other words,

keep it clean & friendly.

3) Cheating:

Any cheating of any kind is nottolerated. Thus the offendingplayer will concede this game &

any points earned up to this

point may be awarded to the

opposing player. In other words,

keep it clean & friendly.

4) WYSIWYG:

What You See Is What You Get;

(WYSIWYG) will be partially

enforced. If any models in aplayer's registered army is not

assembled to represent the

specific Wargear available to

models (other than standard or

assumed items such as default

grenades), must be plainly

obvious at the carry. A judge

may rule against a player for

this, resulting in the loss of that

item or equipment for thatgame or until the WYSIWYG is

satisfied by the judges. Thus, it

is important to clarify any

possible discrepancies with your

opponent before the game

starts; because once the game

starts it is up to the Judge to

make the ruling. It is each

players responsibility to make

their models represents clearly

what they have and or define

what their models represent in a

cooperative manner with your

opponent. Failure to do so may

ultimately cost the player a

forfeit conceded ruling by a

Judge to their opponent for that

game.


5/11

5) Game Army Lists:

A player must provide/specify all

1500 army lists on the day of theassigned league game. All stats,

abilities, Wargear, for every

miniature in play must verifiable

at anytime by your opponent or

by a Judge. In other words know

your army & know it may be

called into question at anytime.

If any cheating is found obvious

see section 3 of the universal

rules. If it is possible neglect the

player will lose that miniaturefor that game, ruling by a Judge.

In other words, dont say you

have extra armour if you cant

afford it. You may lose that

vehicle for the game.

LEAGUE ORGINIZATION RULES:

1) Player Ranking Structure:

Players are ranked on total

points in Victory Point andObjective Points categories in all

game types except Annihilation,

in which Victory Point are

doubled. All points awarded are

given in margins per players

performance. You technically

can lose a match and still win

decent points. See the scoring

data sheet here to detail how

the scoring is handled.

2) Player Game Assignments:

Players are initially organized

alphabetically. Opponents are

randomized on the first match,

and will continue down the

alphabetical list for each

additional match.

3) Army Points:

Each game will be played at

1500 points chosen from theplayers registered 2000 point

Warhost list. Force

Organizational guidelines will be

enforced; so one HQ & two

troops minimum for each game.

4) Game Types:

The league tournament will

employ three types of games.

Objective, Quadrant, &

Annihilation game types. Seethe game play sheets here to

detail how each game type is

played.

Objective Games, each gamesets 5 objectives at deployment,

12 from any table edge & 12

from any other objective. The

player that starts first sets 2

objectives while the player that

starts last will set 3 objectives.The player that has more scoring

units within 3 of an objective,

which is not contested, will win.

The bigger the margin of

objectives the more objective

points you earn. Quadrant games represent the

4 by 6 game table divided into

four equal 2 by 3 sections

related to as Quadrants.

Similar to objective games,

scoring units can only score that

quadrant if it has at least one

scoring miniature in that

quadrant area at the end of the

game. A quadrant is contested

only by an opposing scoring

units, further a scoring unit may

not be considered

Annihilation Games are scored


6/11

purely on your destruction of

your opponent, or in turn their

destruction on you. As you score

no objectives other than

Annihilation, these games are

worth double points. The

scoring is set on the margins of

victory. This is scored by totaling

each player surviving/remaining

units vs. the opposing players

surviving/remaining units. Each

unit destroyed scores zero

points. Any units, still in reserve,

falling back or below halfstrength, scores zero points

(they are scored as a complete

loss of that unit). Half strength &

above the player scores Half of

the value of that unit; rounding

up. A player may score a full

point value only if no wounds

has been assigned & failed by

that unit at the end of the game.

Compare the remaining valuesof your armies & the margin of

victory is determined by the

difference of points between the

two opponents.LEAGUE GAME PLAY RULES:

1) Tardiness:

Match times will be scheduled

beforehand. We will try to

accommodate as many players

as possible when scheduling.

That being said, it is a player's

responsibility to be present, with

his army, when the match is

scheduled to begin. A player

who is fifteen minutes late or

more without considerable prior

notice after a match is

scheduled to begin. The player

not able to commit to that game

will be considered to have

forfeited the match.

2) Game Time:

All games will have no specified

ending time limit. However, if

the players are forced to end

their game for any reason, a

Judge will make a ruling on

scoring. In most cases, the

scoring will be based as if the

game ended in the current state.

There are no instances in which

a game can be resumed at later

times.
