ConQuest Seattle Indy GT
Warhammer Fantasy Battles

ConQuest reserves the right to modify, update, clarify, or change event rules in the interest of making ConQuest Seattle
Indy GT the best event possible. No fundamental rules changes will be made after 1/1/2009.

The Championship is a large tournament with a tight schedule. Once pairings are announced, players are expected to
promptly move to their assigned table and make best efforts to complete their games before time expires. During the course
of play, if you feel that your opponent has violated any game or ConQuest rules, please contact a judge to review the
incident. Once scoring sheets are turned in, judges will have little opportunity to address your concerns.

SCORING

Battle: 100 points total, 15 Victory Points per round (15 - Victory, 10 - Draw, 5 - Loss) plus up to 5 bonus Battle Points per
round, and up to 5 Objective Points per Round. +300 VP determines a Victory, using the Standard Victory Point values
from the BRB Pg 102 unless specified otherwise in the scenario.

Battle Point Bidding: At the Beginning of the tournament, each player will have an option to bid Victory Points for Best
General. A Player may bid from 0 to 5 VP. The effect is as follows: If a player has bid 5 Battle Points, and wins the game,
that victory is worth a base 20 points for Best General, rather than 15 VP. If the player gets a Draw, the draw would only be
worth 5 VP. If the Player loses, the Loss with be worth 0 VP. The Bonus applies to Best General Scoring only, the negative
applies to all scoring.

Composition and Theme: 25 Points Total. Comp is being scored on a scale of 1 to 25, with 1 Being Ardboys class, to 25
being a Fluffbunny. Each Opponent will give you a score, as will 2 judges and Yourself. The High and Low scores will be
dropped and we will average the result.

Appearance: 25 points total. Appearance will be judged via Checklist as follows:

  3. The army is colored in a pleasing and consistent manner.
  4. The army uses highlighting or shading techniques to add depth and lighting to the models.
  5. Character models and army centerpieces stand out.
