Warhammer Fantasy Tournament Pack

General Rules
The Bugeater Fantasy GT will follow the Warhammer Fantasy 8th edition rules and all relevant
Games Workshop FAQs and Erratas.
Army Construction:
Each player will field a valid 2500 point army, constructed from the valid GW army lists:
Beastmen
Bretonnia
Daemons of Chaos
Dark Elves
Dwarfs
Empire
High Elves
Lizardmen
Ogre Kingdoms
Orcs & Goblins
Skaven
Tomb Kings
Vampire Counts
Warriors of Chaos
Wood Elves
The following special characters are prohibited:
Kairos Fateweaver
Teclis
Thorek
The following items are not permitted at the Bugeater GT:
Power Scroll
Book of Hoeth
Cupped Hands
Becalming Cognition
Army Lists:
Each player is required to bring SIX printed copies of their army list to the tournament. One is
for the tournament staff, and the remaining copies are for your opponents. All items and full
point costs must be present for each entry.
If your army contains Wizards, the Lore that Wizard uses MUST be placed on your army list. For
Grey Seers, you must declare how you are dividing their spells on your army list as well (e.g. 2
spells from Ruin and 2 spells from Plague).

Magic Addendum
The following rules will apply to the magic phase:
You may never use more than 12 dice in a single magic phase for any reason for casting
or dispelling spells of any kind. This applies to power dice, dispel dice, Tomb King
incantations, and any other dice that would affect the casting of a spell, or the attempt
to dispel.
A character can only ever suffer one wound, regardless of any restrictions or modifiers
that would normally apply, from the following spells:
o The Dwellers Below
o Purple Sun
o Transmutation
o Infernal Gateway
o Dreaded 13th Spell
Painting Rules
All models must be painted to a 3-color minimum.
Units must be represented by appropriate models; as such What You See is What You Get
(WYSIWYG) is in effect for the Bugeater GT. That means units MUST be easily identifiable as the
particular choice they represent, and that any weapons or other equipment MUST be clearly
represented on the models. Models that do not fit this will be removed from the game, and you
will not be permitted to play with them for the remainder of the tournament.
Models from the Games Workshop range are normally required; however at the tournament
directors discretion other models may be permitted. Understand that although most people
making these requests will be permitted to field their army, it is not guaranteed. You MUST
email Tim Royers ([email protected]) BEFORE May 25th to verify your models are okay. If you
do NOT, your models may be removed from the tournament if they are deemed unacceptable
by tournament staff.
Paint Scoring
Players can earn a maximum of 30 points for overall army painting. Armies are rated on the
following scale:
Initial Judging
There is at least one model in the army that has undercoat as one of its three colors
to meet tournament minimums.
The army is fully painted, but only to the most basic requirements.
Army is fully painted, and is painted beyond the minimum tournament standard.

Points
0
8
15

As long as your army doesnt have just the three minimum colors, you will most likely receive 15
points. If you receive 15 points, you are then eligible to earn additional points for conversion
work, base work, and advanced painting skills that can earn you up to 30 total points for
painting.

The Paths to Victory:

At the Bugeater GT, there are two award paths for general competition: the tournament champion and
the sweepstakes champion. Both tracks earn similar awards, are given equal respect, but are designed
to appeal to different Warhammer players and their priorities.
Tournament Champion

Sweepstakes Champion

The tournament champion is the person who has

the best win-loss record at the end of the
tournament. Only your record on the table top is
used to determine the overall tournament
champion.
Although this is based strictly on win-loss, victory
points, painting points, and sportsmanship points
are still recorded.
Victory Points are recorded to determine your
position within a record bracket.

Referred to as the Renaissance Man or Best

Overall at other tournaments, or what you would
find at a RTT (Rogue Trader Tournament).
The Sweepstakes Champion is the individual with
the highest total score combination of:
-Battle Points = max 120 (50%)
-Painting Points x 2 = max 60 (25%)
-Sportsmanship x 2.4 = max 60 (25%)
This represents the best overall player, who does
well on the tabletop, but also has a well painted
army and is a great opponent to play against. It is
quite possible to lose some of the five matches
and still contest for Sweepstakes Champion with
strong painting and sportsmanship scores.

Although sportsmanship ranking doesnt factor

into the Tournament Champion, it is still
important. If a player receives two sportsmanship
scores of 1, they will be asked to leave the
tournament. 1s are only allowed to be recorded
after consultation with tournament staff, so two 1s The Sweepstakes Champion will receive a free

ticket to compete at the Games Workshop run
Throne of Skulls tournament in 2012.
The Tournament Champion will be receiving a
weekend badge to compete at the 2012 Adepticon
tournament.

Fan Favorite
In addition to the Tournament Champion and Sweepstakes Champion, there is also the Fan Favorite
award. Players will vote for the player with the best army appearance, and when the tournament is
concluded they will vote for the person they enjoyed playing against the most. These votes will
determine who receives the Fan Favorite award.

Scenario One: Pitched Battle

Battlefield:
Terrain will be fixed throughout the tournament and will not move. If terrain moves for an ingame reason (Tree Singing), please return it to its original location at the conclusion of the
game.
Deployment:
Both players roll a d6. The player that wins the dice roll can choose a table half to deploy in or
he can defer to his opponent.
Players then take turn placing units on the table, using the method described on page 142.
Units can be placed anywhere in their deployment zone that is more than 12 from the center
line.
First Turn:
Roll off to see which player gets the first turn. The player that finished deploying their army first
gets to add +1 to their roll.
Game Length:
Six turns, unless time is called before.
Victory Conditions:
The winner is determined by victory points.
There are additional bonus battle points you can earn:
+1 If you have a unit in your enemys deployment zone that is not fleeing
+1 If you have captured more standards than your opponent (if your opponent has no
standards you automatically get the point)
+1 if your general is alive, on the table, and not fleeing
+1 if none of your units were destroyed or fled off the table

Scenario Two: Meeting Engagement

Battlefield:
Terrain will be fixed throughout the tournament and will not move. If terrain moves for an ingame reason (Tree Singing), please return it to its original location at the conclusion of the
game.
Deployment:
Use the deployment as described under the Meeting Engagement rules on page 149, but replace
the last sentence of the second paragraph with the following:
After all units have been rolled for, those that did not roll a 1 can either become reserves or
can be deployed in their sides deployment zone, anywhere that is more than 6 away from the
center line.

First Turn:
The player that sets up second can attempt to seize the initiative by rolling a d6. On a roll of 1-5
the player that deployed first gets first turn, but on a roll of a 6 the second player can choose
who gets the first turn.
Game Length:
Six turns, unless time is called before.
Victory Conditions:
The winner is determined by victory points.
There are additional bonus battle points you can earn:
+1 If you control 2 or more table quarters. To control a table quarter you must have at
least one unit in the quarter and no enemy units present. Units that are fleeing do not
count.
+1 If you have killed more characters than your opponent
+1 for each enemy unit you kill that was held in reserve (max 2 bonus points)

Reserves as described on page 149.

Scenario Three: Treasure Hunt

Battlefield:
Terrain will be fixed throughout the tournament and will not move. If terrain moves for an ingame reason (Tree Singing), please return it to its original location at the conclusion of the
game.
Deployment:
Use the deployment as described under the Battle for the Pass rules on page 146. Note that
youre fighting down the length of the table, not across its width.

Six turns, unless time is called before.
Victory Conditions:
The winner is determined by victory points.
There are additional bonus battle points you can earn:
+1 if your general is alive, on the table, and not fleeing at the end of the game
+1 if an enemy unit fled the battle on one of the long table edges

opponent has no war machines, you automatically earn one battle point.
Special Rules:
Bottleneck as described on page 146.
Before the battle begins, both players must let their opponent know where their most
expensive magic item is and what it is. If the character with the item is slain or the unit carrying
it is destroyed in combat, the unit or model that killed him takes possession of the item (note:
the enemy may not use the item). If the magic item is in your opponents possession at the end
of the game, he/she receives 100 bonus Victory Points.
