Blood point 1 and 4 points for each Lord of War choice destroyed. Players ranks will be worked out
by how many point they have earned each round combined with their Painting Score and Army List
Score. Tie Breakers will be decided by total Victory Points earned over the day, followed by total

Army List Score
Each heat the T.O and a second judge will be scoring players army lists out of 15.
Each Army list will be scored on the following:
Balance 0-5
Any army list that is not repetitive, even spread through the force organisation chart (has at least a
1x HQ, 1x Elites, 2x Troops, 1x Fast Attack and 1 Heavy Support) and each unit is unique will scored
higher for balance than an army that are spaming the same units, spaming weapon load outs
throughout the list and excludes force organisation types (for example not having any Fast Attack).
Originality 0-5
An army list that is fluffy, based around a theme or unique to the current Meta will be scored higher
for Originality than a repetitive, unoriginal or a Meta list.
Valour 0-5
An army with equal or more points spent on combined TROOPS choices than any other combined
choices (E.G HQ, Elites, Fast Attack, Heavy Support, Lord of War sections) and is running only 1 lord
of war choice will be scored higher than someone running multiple Lord of War choices or have
spent more points on another section .
For Example: Ben TROOPS choices are a Squad of Space Marines and a Squad of scouts combined
they come to 425 points. Ben would be better scored in Valour if:






All his HQ units combined points are equal or less than 425
All his ELITE units combined points are equal or less than 425
All his FAST ATTACK units combined points are equal or less than 425
All his HEAVY SUPPORT units combined points are equal or less than 425
ALL his LORD OF WAR choices combined points are equal or less than 425
All his FORTIFICATIONS combined points are equal or less than 425
Mistakes, Errors, Judging and Unfair Play
During games players may make errors or both may not agree on a rule, if this occurs you may
request the T.O to make a call. The T.O call is final and we request you accept the outcome to keep
the event running smoothly.
If a player make a mistake or broken a rule, the T.O can be called and he may issue an official
warning. If a player receives 3 official warning during their current round they will be disqualified.
Official Warning can be given for the following:



Misrepresenting game state E.G Hiding roles, moving models to far on several occasions, not
declaring information before rolls (Shooting targets, Reserves, etc) several times, and many
more small offences repeated several times by the T.O digressions.
Offensive behaviour to players or T.O.
Misleading information on Army Roster or not adhering to the army guidelines.
