Rules

Army:

You will need a 2000 point army.

All army lists must follow these rules:

Many missions will use the term scoring unit. A scoring unit is any unit with a unit strength of at least 10 that has a banner. You will want to ensure you have scoring units.

You may select your army from any army book, legacy army or arcane journal.

Your entire army must follow the normal rules of list building for Warhammer: The Old World with the following exceptions:

We are using both the Grand Mele and Combined Arms restrictions found in the matched play guide. These override any rules found in your army book (e.g. you may only have two cannons no matter what).

You may not take any named character – this campaign is about making your own character, not using one made by Games Workshop already.

You may have a maximum of one character riding a large target.

You must have at least 35% of your army spent on core units. (700 points)

You may have a maximum of 40% of your army spent on characters. (800 points)

You may not select the magic item, the talisman of protection.

All common magic items are no longer common.

If a unit can be taken as both a mount for a character and a special or rare slot then it still counts as a special or rare choice for working out the combined arms restrictions. (E.G. If you have a ghoul king on a terrorgheist then you may only take one more terrorgheist.)

This event is a narrative event but will use all recent army books, arcane journals, FAQs, and balance sheets.

To keep the feel of the event, all lists must be submitted on BCP no later than 1 week before the event and the GM may ask you to make alterations to your list to avoid unbalanced games.

It is highly recommended that you bring a balanced force as these missions will require different forces to succeed in. This is the time to bring out your stuff that doesn’t normally see play because it’s not competitive enough.

The event is a narrative event and thus you may have extra alterations to your army from the GM as the story develops.

Hobby Rules:

To keep the narrative as engaging as possible all models in your army should be fully painted and based.

Conversions, kitbashes etc are encouraged but they must be recognisable and hold the same attributes as the model they represent (e.g. roughly the same size, on the same base etc).
