If you are on the registration list but have not paid yet we will bump you back to the waiting list as others fully register. We can't hold your slot indefinitely so make sure to pay your registration fee as soon as possible to keep your slot.
NOTE - I just found a couple of friends had to drop out so feel to register. I'll send out an update when we go to the waiting list.
News Flash - Only 2 Slots Left Open
As of today there are only two slots left to fill !!! It's really looking like we will have a full house this October. Once all the slots are full we will create a waiting list. A few people on the registration list have not paid yet and we can't hold your slot indefinitely - make sure to pay your registration fee as soon as possible to keep your slot... Otherwise once we are full we will have to move you over to the waiting list.

Sample Missions
This week we will release two sample missions so you can start playtesing your armies for the GT. The format will be as follows:
Terrain
Terrain will be preplaced.
Primary Win Condition - Objectives, Table Quarters or Killpoints
Objectives will be preplaced as per the mission rules. There will be three, four or five per mission with each worth three battle points.
Table Quarters - To hold a table quarter at the end of a game you must have the most victory points worth of scoring or denial units. These units must be completely inside a table quarter and disembarked.
Killpoints - Whoever scores the most killpoints wins the mission... Just like 40k5.
First Tie Breaker - If there is a draw on the primary win condition then the first tie breaker is killpoints. If the primary win condition is killpoints then the first tie breaker is table quarters (see above).
Second Tie Breaker - If there is a draw on both the primary win condition and first tie breaker then the second tie breaker is pure victory points.
Bonus Battle Points
The following bonuses are in play each mission:
— First Blood
— Slay the Warlord
— Line Breaker
— Killpoints
Mission Rules
The following rules are in effect each game:
— Night Fight
— Deep Strike
— Infiltrate/Outflank
— Seize the Initiative
— Warlord Trait
Order of Sequence
00. Objective markers (if appropriate) are preplaced as per the specific mission rules. Game begins.

04. Roll for Psychic Lores.
05. Roll for army specific rules (e.g., Grey Knights' Grand Strategy, Dark Eldar Wyche Drugs, etc.)
06. Roll off to see who deploys first (player who deploys first goes first unless their opponent seizes the initiative - see step 10).
07. Deploy armies.
08. Deploy infiltrating units and make scout moves (as per rulebook).
09. Redeploy (e.g., Necron C'Tan Grand Illusion).

11. First turn begins...
12. Game ends - Note that random game length is modified. There are six turns and then a possible seventh turn on a roll of 4+ on 1d6. Dice Down when time is called - the game immediately stops.
