The ComicReaders Downtown Warhammer 40K Escalation League comes to a close at Prairie Game Expo, with the Top 8 players battling it out in a tournament.

THIS IS A CLOSED EVENT. The tournament is already full with players from the Escalation League. Warhammer 40K is, however, a visually dynamic game and attendees of Prairie Game Expo are encouraged to check out the armies on display in these tabletop battles.

TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE & PRIZES
Note: Structure may change no later than 2 days before the tournament.

Point value: 1500 points

Players are allowed the following:
3 Detachments, an ally detachment is allowed within your 3 detachments

Regarding terrain, since terrain is pre-set up, if you are using fortifications, you are not allowed to remove or replace pieces of terrain. Objectives will be in fixed positions.

Players are required to have at least 2 copies of their roster on hand. A copy of the roster needs to be submitted to the store at the beginning of the tournament, any discrepancies in the list and what is fielded will result in disqualification from prizes. Players are recommended to have a copy of their FAQ on hand in case army specific questions are asked by the opponent. FAQs found here

Games will promptly start at 10:15am. Each round of play will be a maximum of 2.5 hours, if the game is not finished, it will end on the closest full game turn, and the game will be decided by what is dictated in the book. There will be a least 15 minute warning for the end of each round.

First round of play will be starting at 10:15am, a short lunch break is available before start of the second round. Mission: Cloak and Shadows on Dawn of War

If you haven't done a tournament with me, I'll have sheets as usual outlining the mission, and showing you the deployment map. Terrain will be pre set-up, and all object markers will be at fixed places on the table.

Players also get you to rank their 3 matches at the end of the tournament to help determine their favourite opponent (best sporting player).
