+ Primary Mission = "Friday the 41st" +
"Final Designation"
Before deployment, each player selects a unit with the CHARACTER & INFANTRY keywords units to be their SLASHER. (A SLASHER cannot be attached to another unit.)
The SLASHER gains the following abilities: Infiltrators, Lone Operative, and Feel No Pain (5+).
In addition, the SLASHER gains the following rule:
> "When this unit is destroyed, it is not removed from the battle. Instead, place it into Strategic Reserves with 1 fewer Wound remaining for each time it has been destroyed (to a minimum of 1).
During your Reinforcements step, you may set it up again either:
> "Wholly within a terrain area and more than 6" from all enemy units
OR
> "More than 8" from all enemy units"
"Lambs to the Throne"
After deployment, each player selects one of their opponent’s BATTLELINE INFANTRY units to be their PREY. (A PREY unit cannot have any attached CHARACTERS.)
If that unit has the INFANTRY keyword, it gains the Stealth ability.
Scoring:
At the end of each player’s turn, score the following:
> 3VP if the non-active player's SLASHER was placed into Strategic Reserves by the active player’s SLASHER.
> 6VP if the non-active player's SLASHER was placed into Strategic Reserves by the active player’s PREY.
> 3VP if the active player’s SLASHER destroyed one or more models from the opponent’s PREY this turn.
> 1VP if the active player’s SLASHER has never been placed into Strategic Reserves.
If that player’s PREY unit is still in play, score:
> 4VP while at Full Strength.
> 1VP while Below Starting Strength.
> 3VP while Below Half Strength.
> 8VP if only one model remains.
--------------------------------------------
+ Secondary Mission = "For the Gourden Throne" +
After deployment, players alternate placing 6 Pumpkin Objective Markers within 6 terrain areas. (The first 4 must be placed in No Man’s Land)
"Purging Pumpkins"
A unit can perform the Exorcise Action while within a terrain area with a Pumpkin Objective Marker. This Action is completed at the end of that player’s turn. When the Action is completed, remove that Pumpkin Objective Marker from the battlefield.
"Root of All Evil"
At the end of each player’s turn, each unit within a terrain area with a Pumpkin Objective Marker suffers 1 mortal wound. If a player performed the Exorcise Action in that area terrain, instead each unit takes D3+2. For each Pumkin Objective Marker, if 6+ Mortal Wounds were suffered by this ability, remove that Pumpkin Objective Marker from the battlefield.
Scoring:
At the end of each player’s turn, the active player scores:
> 1VP per Mortal Wound suffered within a terrain area with a Pumpkin Objective Marker. (Max 6VP)
+ + Scorecard + +
50VP – Primary Mission (Friday the 41st)
30VP – Secondary Mission (For the Gourden Throne)
10VP – ‘Battle Ready’ will be awarded to those that come a 40K / faction themed costume!
Pairings & Placings are determined according to Swiss Score, Battle Points SoS, Battle Points, Margin of Victory.
Armies may be played unpainted and as to the casual nature of the event.
+ + Prizing + +
Prizing will be awarded with Store Credit as follows if minimum player requirement for this bracket is reached (12 players):
1st = $2x Entry
2nd = $1.5x Entry
3rd = $1x Entry
4th = $0.5x Entry
Last = $0.25x Entry
--------------------------------------------
+ + Player Behaviour Expectations + +
Players are expected to be:
• Punctual & prudent.
• Respectful & restrained.
• Happy & hygienic.
--------------------------------------------
+ + Miniature Representation + +
Models should all be easily recognisable as the unit they are listed as and ‘Count-As’ as much as possible for the sake of smooth gameplay and identification on the table. Weapon options have mild leniency if you can identify clearly the weapons that are intended to be used. (eg. In a squad, clearly the right ratios of matching weapon options for a 1-for-1 substitution)
+ + Converted/3rd Party/Scratch-built Units + +
Minis should be approximately the same height & size to their standard official counterpart & on the same base/same footprint (Soul Grinder etc.). If in doubt, contact the Tournament Organiser at least 1 week before the event and provide images with scale for reference.
--------------------------------------------
+ + Rules, Discrepancies, & Violations + +
If there is ever a rule in question; (discrepancy in list, representation of minis, misleading information, questionable errors, consistent misplay etc.), give the playing the benefit of the doubt as much as is reasonable. If this continues during play, if a rule/situation etc. is in doubt with differing opinion between players, call a Judge immediately for a ruling. Failure to do so may result in a warning for both parties for intentional stalling and not following procedure. In the case of slow-play, both parties must consent to the use of a chess-clock if one is requested to be used.
+ + Ticketing & Non-attendance Policy + +
Tickets are to be purchased before the date of the even from BHG in person or from the BHG webstore (link provided). Non-attendance will forfeit ticket refund if less than 48 hours notice is provided.
