PLAYER PLACED TERRAIN
In the pregame steps outlined in the Warzone Nephilim, Steps [Link] the battlefield and 7.
Determine attacker and defender will be swapped. Then replace the second paragraph of
“create the battlefield” with the following:
1. If using a chess clock, this part will be part of the respective player's time.
2. The terrain will be split equally between attacker and defender. If a player has a unit with
the fortification role it will be added AFTER the terrain is split equally between players.
3. The defender will choose their deployment zone and the attacker will use the other zone.
4. Players will take turns placing terrain starting with the defender.
5. The terrain must be placed on their half of the table (as determined by board edge), 2
inches from the centre line, 4 inches from another terrain piece, and 4 inches from a
board edge. If a player has a unit with the fortification role, in addition to the
aforementioned rules, it must be placed wholly within their deployment zone.
6. The Terrain has been preselect to fit the table prior to the start of the event. If a player
cannot place their terrain, a TO will adjust the terrain to fit. The TO’s decision is final.
ARMIES ON DISPLAY
All players will be judged on the first day during armies on parade. Players may be requested to
set up on the second day for additional judging.
Players will set up their armies for paint scoring. Small painting infractions will see a reduction in
battle ready score. At this time any models found by judges not to meet WYSIWYG or painting
standards will be removed. Appropriate action will be taken if they are found in play after this
point.
“BYES”
50% of the time it happens every time. When there is an odd number of players, one player will
be left without an opponent. They will be given a choice:
● Take a 55 point win and not play during that round
● Play one of the judges and receive a 55 point win or whatever points they score in that
game, whichever is higher.
PLAYER MEETING
Before the event starts, players will be required to attend the player meeting to review event
policies and rules, expectations, and clarifications of anything unusual or specifically important
to this event. This is a final opportunity to ask any questions before the event begins. Players
will already have their first round matches to allow a smooth transition into the first round.
JUDGING & RULES DISPUTES
Players are encouraged to respectfully resolve rules disputes, and the most important rule is
encouraged for time. However, if the players do not agree on a resolution, rules disputes will be
resolved in the following way:
1. Using official 40k FAQ and Errata
2. 40k army codices and main rulebook
3. Judge’s decision
If a judge's decision is required, each player will present their case to the judge and the judge
will make a decision. All judge decisions will be considered final for the duration of the event.
CHESS CLOCKS
Chess clocks will not be mandatory for this event, but they will be available and may be
requested. Any player may request to use a chess clock for the duration of a round, which must
be used by both players.
● Each player will have one hour and twenty five minutes on their clock.
● The Clock starts when the first roll occurs(the roll for attack or defender)
● Clocks can only be paused by the T.O. or a medical emergency(having to poop and
similar actions are not considered emergencies)
● Player actions(ie. movement) and player reactions(ie. saves) must be taken on the
respective player’s time.
● When no action is being taken the clock will default to the active player.
● If a player is contemplating taking an action in response to the active player’s action, this
time will be swapped to the inactive player while they decide. (ie. thinking about using a
stratagem)
● If a player runs out of time they may take the following actions:
○ Reactive dice rolls (ie. saves, leadership, feel no pains etc.)
○ Scoring primaries and secondaries they have achieved or currently hold
● The game ends when both players either run out of time or have completed 5 turns.
● The clock is not a competitive aspect of this game. It is a measure to ensure time is
fairly used. Weaponizing this aspect of the game will result in a game score of zero.
Any time remaining on a chess clock when the TO calls “Hard Dice Down,” is lost.
MODEL POLICY
Models that do not meet the model policy will be removed from the table. If you are uncertain if
a model will qualify under the policy, send a picture to YOUREMAIL@[Link].
● Armies must be fully built.
● Painting standards are as follows:
○ Armies must be “3 Colour and Based” standard. However, in order to receive
the points for “Battle Ready” armies must be Battle Ready as per pg 3 of the
War Zone Nephilim Grand Tournament mission pack.
● Models must be WYSIWYG to a reasonable standard.
● Proxies are not allowed.
● Conversions and “Counts-As” (3rd party bits and models) are allowed, provided they are
cleared by the organizers prior to the final list submission date.
● Models that are not painted to the above standards and models that have not been
cleared by the organizers will be removed from the table as casualties.
WYSIWYG (to a reasonable standard)
To have a model count as WYSIWYG, the model’s main and secondary weapons must be
modelled as the appropriate weapons chosen from the dataslate. If the dataslate comes with an
option that all models must use, there is no need to model it.
● 3rd party bits are acceptable, so long as every instance of that bit is consistent across
the army and counts-as the same weapon.
● If a model in a unit has an option or statline that is separate from the other models, it
must be clearly identifiable to your opponent (Champion/Sargeant, special grenade
options, etc).
● Models can be clearly identified through differences in modeling (heads, etc), base
markings, or other means (elastics, etc).
ARMY CONSTRUCTION
● Armies are 2000 points maximum, battle-forged Match play rules.
● All 9th edition codexes and legal supplements (including “The Greater Good” for the
astra militarum) published before November 27th, 2022 will be allowed for army
construction, including Forgeworld sources. Books not released individually will not be
valid. Please see
