40k Christmas OP Event - 7th December

The Conquest of Thraximos Prime: A Warhammer 40000 10^th Edition De-Escalation Tournament.

https://www.bestcoastpairings.com/event/pzYyGohvmlNe

A Narrative campaign to rule Thraximos Prime. Will the Imperium survive in the face of the ruthless Xenos invasion, or will both succumb to the tantalising allure of Chaos? Meanwhile unrest grips the planet and all communications through the Warp have suddenly fallen silent. Generals will fight a series of battles throughout the day with what forces they have remaining as the resources of this besieged planet are pushed to the limit. The narrative will develop as the war wages on. At the beginning of each round the lore for the upcoming match will be announced depending upon who wins the previous round (Imperium / Space Marines / Xenos / Chaos / Forces of the Hive Mind). 

Your army will start at 2000 points and shrink by 500 pts per game to represent the casualties sustained. So when building your list bear in mind that you have to be able to build a 1500, 1000 and 500 pt list too. Please provide all 4 options when you upload your list.

Terrain and rulings

The Judge’s word is FINAL!

In the event of a disagreement / accusation of poor sportsmanship / cheating then please call a judge IMMEDIATELY. We cannot help you after the fact, however if you raise the issue straight away then we can probably help resolve it.

Minor rules offences will be given a warning (we all make mistakes).

Intentional cheating can result in penalties ranging from a points penalty between 10-100 points / automatic losses / disqualifications and / or barrings from future events.

Intentional lying, bullying or intimidating behaviour will not be tolerated.

Any dataslate must have been in place for 7 days before the event (00:01 the Saturday beforehand)

Conceding

 Please play out the game as much as possible, you never know, you may be able to turn it around. However, any conceding will assume you score 0 further points for that game from that point on. Please call a Judge to verify this action. In the events of emergencies of course we can be flexible.

Losses

It happens, we all lose, it is part of the game and experience of becoming a better player. Laugh it off, congratulate your opponents and ask for advice.

Chess Clocks

Chess clocks are not required however they are recommended to resolve any disputes about players playing slow on purpose (don’t do this!) Anybody caught purposely slow playing will be penalised.
