Prepare for battle! Take part in the second of our new quarterly Warhammer 40,000 events, a Strike Force Tournament!

Prove your tactical prowess across three games against formidable opponents to see if you can be crowned the champion!

What You’ll Need:

• The latest rules, FAQ’s, and any tokens, dice and measuring devices you need to play. The cut-off for rules changes is 1 week before the event. 

Event Schedule

• Registration: 8:30 - 9:00
• Game One: 9:00 - 12:00

Each game will last 3 hours. There will be a dice down rule at the end of the round with scores as is being used. Any players with evidence of slow play will be given a penalty of 10pts.

Terrain

We will provide terrain area footprints and suitable terrain, this will need setting up by both players at the start of each round based on your force dispositions.

*Painting and Modelling

Whilst it’s not required to have a painted force for this event, by doing so you’ll gain 10 extra victory points in each game! All miniatures in your army must be WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) and be a clear representation if they are a proxy - if in doubt please get in touch.

Awards

We’ll have awards for the following:

• 1st, 2nd and 3rd place
• Best Painted
• Most Sporting
• Wooden Spoon
