Knight Champion!

In ADDITION to the 2300 points, a Knight Champion will be added to the army.

This knight is considered part of the main force and NOT an ally.

The knight used will be dependent upon the alignment of the main force.

Players need to bring a cavalry model that represents their Knight Champion.

  • This model should be mounted on a 25mm X 50mm cavalry base.

The player with the most impressive Knight Champion model will win a trophy.

 

The Knight Champion is worth 200 victory points to your opponent when routed.

 

All Knight Champions have the following profile

S  M  R  D   A    Nv           US

8  3+  -   5+  6    14/16        1

 

All Knight Champions have the following rule:  

Holy Protection – The Knight Champion is unaffected by the spell Host Shadowbeast. Nor can the spell Host Shadowbeast be cast upon any unit attacking the Knight Champion.

 

Players may upgrade their  Knight Champion with up to 15 points worth of Artifacts from the Main rule book.  Any combination of artifacts up to 15 total points may be taken.  This combination of artifacts does not count against the same artifact being taken by the main force of the army.  Example: The Knight Champion takes the War-Bow of Kaba and the Mead of Madness.  This does not prevent the War Bow of Kaba or Mead of Madness from being taken by another unit in the main force. 

Each Knight Champion will have the following additional rules dependent upon the alignment of the main force.

Other Rules

This is a OPEN LIST tournament for the games and players must provide a copy of their army list to their opponents at the beginning of each game.  Doing this will get you 1 Tournament Point per game.  So bring copies of your army list for all of your opponents. 

Models used may be from any product line or manufacturer.

All of the models used MUST be appropriate models for the units they are representing.  If models are used as proxies, they must be easily recognized as the unit they are representing by your opponent or they will not be allowed.

Any model that will be used in the tournament MUST be placed on display for appearance score judging.  Armies are not required to be fully painted.  But, it is highly encouraged and appearance points are awarded for armies that are fully painted.

An additional appearance award will be awarded to the army with the best appearance score who’s army consists of at least 90% of Mantic models.

Please use base sizes that are appropriate for the unit the model(s) are representing.  

If using dramatic basing for units, a unit is still required to have 50% plus 1, or 1 above the next smaller unit size as appropriate, of the models on the movement base or tray for the unit it should be representing.

 

 

Terrain:

All terrain is preset with rules specific to each individual table. Players will be expected to leave the terrain in the same place and condition as they found it upon departing from their game.  

However, if something doesn't look right, please contact the TO.  It's possible that terrain has been moved or bumped over the course of the tournament.

Scenarios will be used.

                        - Each player will be given a sheet with 12 Scenarios at the start of the tournament.

                        - Each scenario may only be used ONCE for the entire tournament.

                        - Scenarios are revealed by opponents at the same time prior to choosing sides.

                        - Up to 3 Battle Points are awarded based on each Scenario Card.

            When a Scenario Card is revealed, the objectives apply to BOTH players.
