Scoring:

Players will record the amount of victory points they earn for each scenario, along with their wins and losses.  The winner of the event will be the individual with the best overall record through the 3-game tournament.  In the event that more than one person is tied for the best record, victory points will be used at the tiebreaker.  Example: Players A & B are both 3-0 at the end of the event.  Through 3 games, Player A has accumulated 22 victory points, while player B has accumulated 23 victory points; Player B would win the tiebreaker and be ranked higher.

Gaming Order of Operations:

  • Roll to determine Psychic powers and Warlord traits per the 6th edition Warhammer 40k rulebook and your codex.
  • Place objectives beginning with the player who wins the roll-off.
  • Roll to determine deployment zones. The player who goes first chooses their deployment zone.
  • Roll for Night Fighting.
