Preparation

You will need a 2500 point Kings of War army. This should be built using the standard army selection and composition rules in the 4th edition mantic companion app.
You can submit your list on the Chesterfield Open Gaming Society's organised play site. Alternatively email a pdf of your list to [email protected]. Your list should be submitted by 23:59 on Saturday 1st August.
Players will receive +3 tournament points if they submit on time. This will reduce by one point per day or part-day since the submission time that has passed before the list is received, to a minimum of 0 if it is three or more days late.
Part of the joy of wargaming is the spectacle of two armies clashing on the table-top. We would prefer players to bring a fully painted and based army that fits with the fantasy wargaming aesthetic.
It should be clear to your opponent what each unit in your army represents.

Things to bring with you
  • Your 2500 point army.
  • Three copies of your list.
  • Dice, tape measure, arc template, and tokens.
  • A chess clock (physical or app)

Playing the games

The event will be using the rules in the 4th edition rules and any FAQ or errata published by Mantic Games prior to the event.
Chess clocks will be used to help the tournament run on schedule. Clocks should be used throughout deployment, scout moves, and player turns. Players will have 70 minutes each on their chess clocks.
If you and your opponent disagree on a rule, pause the clock whilst you check the rulebook. If that doesn’t resolve your issue, please ask the tournament organiser to adjudicate.
The clock should also be paused if either player needs to take a break for any reason.
If a player's time runs out then it is dice down. Any unresolved combats are assumed to have passed their nerve test. Your opponent may complete their remaining turns in the time that they have left on their clock, including rolling for turn 7.
If there are enough pauses during a game that you predict the round time will end before both players have finished, please inform the tournament organiser as soon as possible so that this can be resolved fairly for both players.

Scenarios and scoring

Scoring will be weighted towards how well players have done in the scenario, with bonus points for winning, and for routing enemy units.
Exact details will be released nearer the time.
