Day 1 will be split into two areas for the first 3 games:
Area 1 will be 500 point tag team games. Each player is required to have a 500 point army chosen from any Codex or Imperial Armour book. The army must include at least 1 troops choice (a HQ is not compulsory). Players may use different units in every game and may even field different armies if they wish to.
Players in area 1 will be paired with players from outside their usual gaming areas where possible.
Painting is NOT compulsory.

Area 2 will be 1500 point tournament games. Each player is required to have a 1500 point army chosen from a Codex only. (No IA units or lists, though you may use Forge World models that appear in your Codex). Players may NOT change units between games and must provide opponents with a fully printed army list at the start of each game.
There will be no composition or painting score and models are NOT required to be painted.
HOWEVER, any painted model will receive the benefits of the Preferred Enemy USR against unpainted models. You have been warned!
Points will be scored as follows
0 - Loss
1 - Draw
3 - Win
In the event of a tie at the end of 3 games, Victory points will be used to determine the winner.
A prize will be given to the overall winner.

Game 4 is open to anyone who wishes to participate, regardless of which area they played in during the day.

On the second day, everyone will play the same games. The points values for the games will be 1500 points, but players are free to work as teams of 2 (2x 750 points) or 3 (3x 500 points) if they do not have the required points themselves. All armies must meet the minimum of 1 HQ and 2 Troops choices. Painting is not required.

Missions and game details will be posted at a later date.

Games will be played in inches and cm. Please discuss this with your opponent first. If you cannot reach an agreement, then inches will take priority.

Depending on attendance, there may be space for people to play other games (WFB, Warmachine etc). Players are free to organise games themselves, but this is primarily a 40k event and so those games will take priority. Due to the schedule, day 1 will be a better choice for non-40k games. Terrain will be provided, but please PM me for details.

To cover the costs of room hire and terrain, there will be a charge of 2500 yen for players wishing to join for 1 day, or 4500 yen for both days. Sadly there is no car parking available at the venue, so for those of you wanting to travel by car, please PM me if you need assistance in finding a reasonably priced parking lot.

ohohohohoho. Smoothly done. I approve

One question (not a complaint, I'm just asking, here.) Why no FW models in the tourney? I'm thinking Blight Drone. (not that Ill be playing nurgle this time, but there're plenty of non-overpowered FW models out there. Why not limit it to: No flyers, super heavies, caestus shoeboxes or Bieber variant land raiders?)

1500 max, well rats that ruined my plans

@ Voss: you have 5 months to prepare for what this event...

Its simpler and easier if we dont start getting into arguments about what is overpowered and what is simply Eldar players moaning.

@voss: you can always buddy up with someone. Sure, the tourney might not be an option, but there will be plenty of other games going on. I believe that was Prim's reason for making optional team play on day 2 - no one gets left out.

@ prim: i see...
