Created :
Thu Nov 15, 2012 22:34 PM | What: a 50 point Steamroller Tournament; no reinforcements
Also there are the following rules to be added for extra challenge:
~Whatever model is destroyed or removed from play at the end of a match will not be available for later matches (see below for more details). This is done on a model-by-model basis; for example, if three Grunts are destroyed at the end of a match, then that unit will be short three Grunts in later matches.
Models created during the course of the game are destroyed at the end of the match, except for models that are brought back into play or otherwise restore lost models. For example, if a Mechanithrall unit loses two Grunts, but then a Necrosurgeon creates two more Grunts for that unit (and that unit remains at those numbers at the end of the match), then those Grunts remain in the unit as if they were not destroyed. However, if that same Cryx player created any Scrapthralls from wreck markers (or any Mechanithrall Grunts that go above the unit's original maximum) then those extra models are destroyed at the end of the match.
Players will also have a chance to bring back some destroyed/removed from play models; see next for more details.
~Warcasters/warlocks are an exception to the above rule. Instead, if they are destroyed/removed from play, then they begin the next game with two damage points. Any Companion models that come with the warcaster/warlock normally (e.g. Kegcarrier, Laris, Deryliss, etc.) are also an exception to the rule above, but do not begin later games with any damage.
In addition, after each match, players may bring back any 2 of the following models:
-non-Colossal warjack, non-Gargantuan warbeast, or any solo
-or-
Players may bring back any 1 of the following models:
-Colossal warjack, Gargantuan warbeast, battle engine, or any unit to its original size (including unit and weapon attachements)

| I did discuss the matter with Ryan. I think there is one at the store (ask Ryan or Amnouy about it). However, spots are also available on a first come first serve; so if the earlier you show the day of, the better your chances of having a spot are. Reply |
