Missions and Army ListS
A mission package with more details will be made available by Adam Waugh prior to the event.
Army lists are due by Monday, April 6th, 2020, and they should be submitted to [email protected]. You may change your army list up until the submission deadline. Everyone meeting this deadline will be awarded bonus points to your overall sportsmanship score, anyone changing their list after the deadline will have points deducted. I will accept army lists in the following formats:
• Microsoft Word/PDF ***heavily preferred***
• Plain text/RTF
• Microsoft Excel
• Army Builder ***HTML or text only, I do not have AB myself and my eyes are getting real squinty***
You must use the same army for each game, and it must not vary from the list you submitted by the deadline. The 8th edition set of rules along with the latest codex/supplement/dataslate and FAQ/Errata for your given army must be used to create your list.
Bring at least five copies of your army list, preferably typed. Hand written army lists are difficult to read and this increases the chance of scoring errors. Stats for individual units and wargear, plus descriptions of special rules, etc., would be further appreciated by opponents without access to your codex/supplement/dataslate.
And if you do not have a display board for your army, you should have a transport tray.

What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG)
In the spirit of fair gaming, we encourage you to try and match your wargear as best you can with what the model is armed with. Your army will still be allowed to compete if there are "count as" or "proxies", but you may be doxed points by your opponents. If there is any confusion, be sure to point out these with your opponent before the match begins. Scratch builts are encourage (especially if GW does not have the right models for the units yet) but should be clearly explained beforehand.
You may use non-Games Workshop models in this tournament, but they must still be WSIWYG as best as possible.
Your army does not have to be painted, but must be fully assembled. Fully painted armies are encouraged and you will not be able to gain painting points if your army is not painted. If you did not paint your entire army you may still get full appearance scores towards your overall score but you will not be eligible to win the award for best painted.
