Format:
We will be running a modified "Last Man Standing" event in which 4 players will be assigned to a 6’x6’ table and battle each other for supremacy. This is similar to the ones run the past two years but with modified scoring.

• Player's will score primary points by holding objectives.
  
• Bonus points will also be given each round for completing covert missions and Darwin Awards. (Covert missions are optional and will be worth additional points. Both covert missions and Darwin awards will be outlined at the time of the event)

A 25 question pub quiz will be handed out between the 1st and 2nd rounds and a prize will be awarded at the end of the night for the person who scores the highest. 15 questions will be on 40k fluff and 10 questions on rules from the BRB. Although we cannot strictly monitor smart phone access, we expect participants to remain honest.

There will also be a painting contest judged by the TO's between rounds 2 and 3. Enter your best squad, HQ, Vehicle, or Monstrous Creature. Top painter will win a prize.

• We are not judging your army, you must enter a single model , HQ, vehicle, or unit to be judged.
  
• Model must be painted by the person entering the model (yes Ben, this means you and your Marbo model)
  
• Model or unit entered must come from your 1250 point list.

*** Rules format **** Updated July 5th, 2013

Format Rules

• Games will be played on a table that forms a 6' x 6' “plus sign” (Think red cross symbol, see diagram below)
  
• Terrain placement will be random. There will be 12 pieces on the Each player will deploy 3 pieces but at least 1 must go into their deployment zone. No one may place any terrain within 6 inches of the center objective.
  
• Each player will deploy in a 48 inch wide by 10 inch deep deployment zone.
  
• 4 players will play on each table at a time, rounds will be 5 turns long.
  
• Each player MUST deploy AT LEAST 700 points worth of their army BEFORE the start of turn 1.
  
• Outflanking units rolls will be modified. A roll of a 1-2 means you deploy on the side to your left, a 3-4 means you deploy on the side to your right, a 5-6 means you can come in on any board side, including the player whose deployment zone is opposite of yours.
  
• At the beginning of the game, before deployment, each player chooses a card numbered between 1 and 4. The player who chose the “1” card gets to pick a deployment zone and place their fortifications (if any). Then player 2 does the same, etc... After all players have selected their deployment zone and placed fortifications, each player then selects a piece of terrain and places it in their deployment zone. After each player has finished putting a piece in their dp zones, they then in turn each place terrain anywhere on the board until all terrain is deployed but remember, no terrain may be placed within 6 inches of the center objective.
  
• After terrain had been placed, place objectives per the objectives deployment (see Primary Objectives below).
  
• Next, roll for Warlord traits and psychic powers as per the rule book.
  
• After deployment zones have been selected and the terrain/objectives placed, reshuffle the cards and deal them out to each player. This will determine the deployment order and turn order for the first turn.
  
• At the end of each turn (after all for players have had their turn), the cards will be shuffled and dealt out to determine the order of play for the following turn.
  

Primary Scoring: Objectives

At the start of the game each player places 1 objective in their deployment zone. This objective must be placed in the center of their deployment zone. An additional objective is placed in the exact center of the board. The objectives award points to the player controlling them at the end of the game as per the following conditions:

• Objectives can only be held by scoring units and denied by denial units per the BRB
  
• Controlling the objective marker in your deployment zone at the end of the game awards 1 victory point.
  
• Controlling the objective marker of the opponent to the immediate left and/or right of your deployment zone at the end of the game awards 2 victory points per objective marker held. (Example, if you hold the objective in the deployment zone of the player to your left you earn 2 victory points. If you hold the objectives of the players to both the left and right of your deployment zone you earn 4 victory points.
  
• Controlling the objective of the player opposite of your deployment zone at the end of the game will awards 3 victory points.
  
• Controlling the objective in the center at the end of the game awards 4 victory points.
  

Covert Missions: Secondary points

Each player will randomly draw a covert mission at the start of the game. These missions offer additional tasks that the players can try to complete for extra points. These missions can be kept secret or the players can elect to scheme and make deals with other players to complete their objectives. Be careful of whom you make deals with, for each player is ultimately out to win the game as well.. Each covert mission is worth 3 bonus points

Darwin Awards: Bonus points

Bonus points will be awarded at the end of each game for ignoble deeds that you may wish have never happened. These will be announced the night of the event.

• Lose at least 1 model to a failed gets hot save. +1
  
• Lose a model or a model’s last wound to Perils of the Warp. +1
  
• Suffer a Deep Strike Mishap and roll a 1 for the result . +1

Modified First Blood:

At the end of turn 3, each player totals the number of Kill Points that they were responsible for removing the last model or HP. The player with the highest KP total gains 3 bonus points.

At the end of each game add the total points awarded for the primary objectives held and bonus points earned by covert missions and/or darwin awards. These will be added to the score of each player from previous rounds for a grand total at the end of the night. All players begin with an initial score of 0.

This event will have a sign-up sheet at the store. Pay in advance at the register and there will be a signup sheet on the computer. Save your receipt and bring it with you the night of the event. Millennium Games has made a deal that anyone who attends the July 6th monthly 40k tournament will have $5 removed from the lock-in entry fee. We will start off with 16 spots. If there are more than 16 signups then we will put you on a waiting list until we reach 20 signups. This is done to keep the proper number of players.

Also, to ensure that you do not play versus the same people that night you will not get matched up via battle points, table assignments will be done in advance.
