Arcanacon

Arcanacon Warmachine Tournament

presented by Ben Leong

I have heard men speak of the hand of fate dictating the outcome of a battle, and I find such talk to be complete nonsense. In my experience, fate is on the side of the army with the biggest guns.

- Kommandant Gurvaldt Irusk

Something stirs in Northguard.

It passes unseen by the armies of Cygnar and Khador, who wage bloody war in the trenches. Hiding in the mist, it slips past the Cryxian infiltrators who prey upon the dying and wounded. The mercenary camps do not stir as an old magic seeps into the soil beneath them. Only the Menites, guided by their priests, recognise its taint.

Blood magic. Fed by sacrifice and slaughter of a magnitude unseen since the Orgoth invasion, something has returned to the northern forests...

Arcanacon Warmachine is a 500 point tournament, following similar principles to the Privateer Press Steamroller tournament system. The following rules will be used:

  • Each player may bring up to two different army lists. Both lists must be from the same faction. For the purposes of this tournament, all mercenary charters are considered a single faction.
  • Armies must include a single warcaster, and may not exceed 500 points in total.
  • The tournament will run for six rounds, and will use a swiss pairing system to rank players.
  • Rounds will run for 80 minutes, with an additional 10 minutes to set up at the beginning of each round.
  • Players must supply two copies of their army lists. Before each round, players may view both of their opponents lists. Each player will then announce which list they are fielding in that round.
  • The tournament will not be using standard Steamroller v2.1 scenarios. A scenario pack will be available for download by December 10th, and will contain details on all scenarios for the event.
  • Prizes will be available for Grand Champion, Best Cygnar, Best Cryx, Best Khador, Best Menoth, Best Mercenary and Best Painted Army.
  • Painted models are not essential. However, all players fielding fully painted armies in both lists will receive a single-use re-roll card, which may be used at any time during the event.

If you have any questions about the event or scenarios, please contact Ben Leong at morsla [at] yahoo.co.uk. If you are unable to download the scenario pack, hard copies can be mailed out to registered players.
